You're a 51 year old man, it's not like you're some bum, and you're desperate and going after an 8 year old girl, what's wrong with him?
Some people are just sick in the head like that. This is kind of a little off topic, but why would you leave a 12 year old girl home alone with an 8 year old? At first I thought this was the other Eddie Johnson and I was like "he's 51 already??", then I read that it was the other one.

No, that's the 6'7 Eddie Johnson, 6th man shooter guy, this is the 6'2 Eddie Johnson that was an All-Star. I thought it was 6th man shooter/broadcaster Eddie Johnson at first too.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Best Kept Secret:</div><div class="quote_post">Is this the same Eddie Johnson who writes for hoopshype?</div> No. This would be the other Eddie Johnson. "Fast Eddie." http://basketball-reference.com/players/j/johnsed02.html
If I were the other Eddie Johnson I would be pissed too. You know a bunch of people are going to mix them up and it will hurt him as well.

I called it! False Reports Hurt Ex-Sun Eddie Johnson <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">East Valley Tribune - One day, ex-Suns star and current television color analyst Eddie Johnson was relaxing on vacation in Hawaii. The next, he was back at home answering phone calls about a sexual assault case that he knew nothing about — and seething over inaccurate media reports that involved newspapers, television stations, nationally syndicated radio and the Internet. The problems started Tuesday when Edward Lee “Fast Eddie” Johnson — a former two-time NBA All-Star with the Atlanta Hawks who has had a history of legal problems since his retirement — was arrested and charged with the sexual assault of an 8-year-old girl. But over the next 24 hours, Edward Arnet Johnson, the former Sixth Man of the Year with the Suns and popular broadcaster, was misidentified as the man arrested by at least three media outlets, including the Chicago Tribune and host Skip Bayless — substituting for the vacationing Jim Rome on Rome’s nationally syndicated radio show. “This is why athletes have so many problems with the media,” said Johnson, 47, who is four years younger than the Eddie Johnson who was arrested Tuesday. “They don’t do their homework. They don’t bother to check facts before they write things or get on the radio and talk. “I’m sitting here dumbfounded because 47 years of building a reputation is being destroyed in one morning by something I had nothing do with. I’ve been getting nasty e-mails all morning. It’s a nightmare.”</div> Source

We're talking about the other Eddie Johnson who was mistaken for the bad pedaphile Eddie Johnson by the media.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Swish15:</div><div class="quote_post">I called it! False Reports Hurt Ex-Sun Eddie Johnson Source</div> Yeah, I was just about to post this, poor guy, that's a terrible thing to have people think you did...
