My wife once confessed to me that although she was a freshman at the University of Maryland when Len Bias was the Number 2 draft pick by the Boston Celtics she'd never heard of him until he OD'd on cocaine and suddenly the campus was ground zero for the national news.
He confessed that he always knew you were a bit of a dope, but he didn't tell anyone.
Admitted he was on the grassy knoll, with a rifle to boot, but swears he didn't kill Kennedy.
One time I started a thread that really didn't have a
Par for your course of course...

‘We were wrong’: Bilas salutes Calipari’s candid confession
BY JERRY TIPTON
"Not once but twice in this young season UK’s basketball brain trust has committed a turnover. Only 58 seconds into the game against North Dakota, Nick Richards replaced PJ Washington. “They messed the starting lineup up,” Washington said after the game. “I wasn’t supposed to start. It was supposed to be Nick.”
Then against UNC Greensboro last weekend, Kentucky opened the game with Keldon Johnson guarding Francis Alonso. Alonso scored 11 points inside the first four minutes.
“We were wrong,” Coach John Calipari said of the Johnson-Alonso matchup. “No, he was not supposed to start on him. And we were down 5-0 because we put the wrong guy on him in the locker room. I’m, like, why is Keldon guarding this guy? Because I knew who was supposed to be guarding him.”
“The thing that sets John Calipari apart is he admits it,” Bilas said. “There are a lot of times when things happen. I’ve known things have happened with other coaches. They haven’t admitted it afterward. Like they say, ‘No, no, no. It was all planned.’ They don’t broadcast that (mistake) in the media.
“John is very secure. He doesn’t care that somebody may take that the wrong way. I can tell you he is in the minority of coaches who would do it that way.”
"Human error also occurred in the 2007 NCAA Tournament. Somehow Kentucky’s starting lineup for a first-round game against Villanova included freshman walk-on Dwight Perry."
His cousin, Bobby Perry, was supposed to be the starter. Rather than accept a technical foul that goes with changing a starting lineup already submitted to the scorer’s table, then-UK Coach Tubby Smith decided to make the Perry-for-Perry substitution at the first dead ball."

The second shot was actually Cal taking out a 12 point buck in the West End of Dallas. Odd place to hunt, but Cal doesn't care about your stinkin' rules.
