    I'm still waiting for that impending federal criminal investigation which was supposed to put him in jail and was a justification for firesalling him.

    By "rescuing pit bulls," they probably mean "cutting the ropes."

    Seriously, though, I'm glad he's growing up. As big a knucklehead as he was for as long as he was, I never doubted that he'd "get it" eventually. Too bad so many dogs had to be maimed and killed in the process.

    Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS The NBA has fined Zach Randolph $25K for confronting Kendrick Perkins after their ejections Nov. 14.

    I once made Zbo his chicken strips (all 30 of them) at the Beaverton Burgerville. He took out a roll of hundreds the size of a baseball and paid from that. Seriously.

    Since you haven't noticed that the local media led you on about Zach, you might also be still waiting for Paul Allen, the worst owner in sports according to Canzano, to sell the team.

    The picture above occurred in Marion, Zach's hometown. It was engraved in every black kid's mind. From the article:

    I've said on here before that ZBO is one of the coolest NBA players I have ever interacted with. To this day either here or in Memphis he asks how my son Miles is. Always cool when he was with us....... paid for dinner a couple times when he saw us at a restaurant on the road. Just immature and listened to his posse members.

    I met Zach Randolph once. The minute I introduced myself, he gave me his full attention with a smile on his face. He struck me as a very very nice guy.

    This season and last, the only 2 times I remember Aldridge getting mad were against Kendrick Perkins. How many players have gotten fined arguing with Perkins over his dirty play? I keep reading about near-fights with Perkins.

    I wish Zach had taken care of the problem.

    I am not for sure why the lynching was brought up. Was the town of Marion to blame for his mother having four kids with no male role model? Marion is not perfect, but it is hardly the deep south, "drive a tank thru a living room" LA or major inner city.
