Considering the latest off-court drama, it’s no surprise that Allen Iverson is contemplating retirement. The 14-year  NBA veteran took a bit of a hiatus from the Memphis Grizzlies this past weekend in order to deal with “family issues.”
There were also rumors circulating that “The Answer” is frustrated and discontent with his new reserve role for Memphis. Iverson is used to being the star and the go-to player. He’s not used to coming off the bench in a supporting role.
But this is the way it is, and Iverson isn’t the player he used to be.  Somehow,  his selfishness and ego have …read more

Police in Dallas are apologizing for one of their offices pulling out a gun in front of a hospital when they pulled over 26-year old Ryan Moats. Moats is a running back in the NFL, and was headed to the hospital to see his dying mother-in-law. He ran a stop light, and when the cop pulled him over he gave Moats the third degree.

Simpson has said that she is “always looking for ways to diversify my portfolio with good ideas and good people.” That portfolio expanded to …read more
