Wonder how much his attorney was paid to write that. Anyway, you can fill in the blanks. The internet is ablaze with speculation about who Summitt was talking about, and we’ll let that chatter reside on Twitter for now.
Summitt is only 25, and he is married. He took over at Tech when he was 23. Why would you put a kid fresh out of college in charge of a women’s college basketball team? He was connected, that’s why.
I’m assuming Summitt’s coaching career is toast, but he can always get work as a stunt double for Superbad star McLovin.
Honorable mention:
Joey Votto — The Reds' overpaid first baseman skipped player introductions on Opening Day in Cincinnati. It was a bizarre "screw you" to baseball tradition. Votto gave a strange explanation that referenced LeBron James. I suspect Votto's the kind of guy who tries to pull a clubhouse prank and the result is everyone blankly staring at him like, "What are you doing, Votto?" The Reds can't trade him because of his ridiculous 10-year, $225 million contract. Here's hoping Votto doesn't turn into a petulant child because he's stuck on a bad team.
Greg Hardy — The talented but troubled free agent defensive end gave a bizarre interview to ESPN this week in which he said he has "never put my hand on any women." Hardy, of course, was disciplined by the NFL after his involvement in a highly publicized domestic violence case. He talked in circles during the interview, using the word "situation" about 20 times. He also pointed out that pictures can be doctored, said he was "in the wrong" but due process "was what it was." And he's now letting God take control.
Landon Young — I'm sure the Kentucky football recruit who criticized Urban Meyer didn't know what hit him after he told an SEC website that the Buckeyes coach "treated me like crap" during his recruitment. Wonder how long it took for Meyer to call Young's coach and start screaming. Young went on Twitter and apologized, kind of: "The quotes that were attributed to me in an article last week were mistaken and in no way reflect my feelings toward coach Urban Meyer and the Ohio State program." Quotes were mistaken? What does that even mean?
