TROUBLE TRACKER

We have a few additions to the TROUBLE TRACKER this week. First straight out of Storrs, Connecticut we have a laptop thief in Gainesville, Florida. Cameron Newton, (no known relations to NFL convict Nate Newton) the back-up QB to Heisman Trophy winning Tim Tebow at Florida, has been suspended from the team after being charged with felony counts of burglary, larceny, and obstruction of justice. This roughly three years after the top two guards on UCONN's men basketball team were also charged with similar counts after stealing computers on campus. Amazingly in this situation the returning starting PG was only suspended for the preseason and back in time for the Big East schedule, however the other back-up guard missed the whole season. Newton shouldn't notice a drop in playing time from the sideline to prison because he wasn't playing anyway. For the second TROUBLE TRACKER the Rant to our favorite neighbors to the south and West Virginia. Walk-on running back Mark Robert Sampson, Jr. was dismissed from the Mountaineer football team after being charged with sexually assaulting a woman. Really though, lets be honest the guys name is Mark Robert, like that doesn't have "CONVICT" written all over it.

Four rules of Firearm Safety:

2- Every weapon is a loaded weapon
3- Never point the weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot.
4- Be sure of you target and what is beyond it.
