So a severed leg washed up on my estate...

There was an interesting omission in a recent Houston Chronicle article about men's college basketball coach Tom Penders:

His teams have gone 584-400 in his 33 years of coaching at Tufts, Columbia, Fordham, Rhode Island, Texas and Houston.

Huh. Funny that there's no mention of GW among those schools. Why is that?

When Jarvis left for St. John's after the 1997-98 season, Tom Penders came in and made one more NCAA tournament, but he resigned after three seasons in a scandal involving players who made long-distance calls on an assistant coach's calling card.

Not surprisingly, the name of that assistant coach was Tom Penders, Jr. Apparently there was also a lot of favoritism with the players. Now, the calling card story may not seem like a big deal, but Penders has a history of weird issues:

Penders was forced out at Texas after four of his players went to the house of the athletic director, DeLoss Dodds, on March 8 to say that they had lost faith in the coach and his program.

I wonder how THAT happened.

Well, it's not just "pick on Tom Penders" day- it's also "laugh at NYC" time!

A severed human leg that washed up Wednesday on the Long Island Sound estate of billionaire James Dolan was possibly linked to a tattooed torso discovered inside a suitcase three weeks ago on a Westchester County beach, authorities said. Dolan is the CEO of Cablevision Systems Corp. and the chairman of Madison Square Garden, owner of the New York Knicks and New York Rangers.

Ew...

Here's another one. Wonder what happened here?

George Steinbrenner's daughter filed divorce papers this week against her husband, Steve Swindal, a move that appears to end his chance to take over as head of the New York Yankees. In June 2005, Steinbrenner said Swindal eventually would succeed him as head of the Yankees. Swindal currently is a Yankees general partner and chairman of Yankee Global Enterprises LLC. The New York Times, citing a source with direct knowledge of the situation, reported on Wednesday that Steinbrenner now has no intention of promoting Swindal, but removing him from the team altogether could be complicated since he is a partial owner of the club.

Looks like someone's gravy train ran out of steam! Bummer for him, I guess. I'm curious if his DUI in February was an embarrassment to the family and he had to go? Who knows. Steinbrenner seems fickle and stubborn, all at the same time.
