Greg Oden's Brother Anthony Will Also Be Unable To Play Sports



But not due to health problems, due to stupidity.

"As ArkansasSports360.com reported previously, Oden, 21, was booked at 8:52 a.m. July 9 in the Washington County Detention Center. He was released at 10:27 a.m. on $2,000 bond, following his arrest by a Fayetteville Police Department officer. Charges included driving left of center, failing to yield to an emergency vehicle, no proof of ownership, driving on a suspended/revoked license and no driver’s license in addition to the DWI and possession charge.

It was Oden’s second arrest since July 4, 2010. He was charged then with DWI and suspended for the season opening game. Oden left Arkansas last year while dealing with what team officials described as “mono.” He re-enrolled for the spring and was among the players being considered for a starting tackle position."Arkansas360


It's something about the little brothers of famous people, ya know. I mean case and point is Marcus Vick, he could have been at least on an NFL but raping, holding up kids at gunpoint and being a fucking moron prevented him from going on to the next level and it seems that Anthony Oden caught that bug too. Another thing is that when you are the kid brother of someone famous you know that the spotlight will be more on you due to your family, so it would be dumb to put yourself in these situations. Like this story, I have no idea if he was a good player or if this is going to hurt Arkansas, but I know it's Greg Oden's brother and he's an asshole.

Careful What Hat You Wear


"A radio reporter in Arkansas who was sent to a press conference to interview University of Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino after a Razorbacks scrimmage wore a Florida Gators hat to the session, and it didn't go well. Not only did Petrino make a disparaging comment, the reporter, Renee Gork, tweeted that she was fired by Hog Sports Radio for her fashion faux pas. Gork also was the victim of online harassment when Arkansas fans found her Facebook page, on which she displays her affection for Florida and makes some critical comments of the school she was covering (WEEI)."

On a certain level I love this, because I hate Florida, and frankly this is fucking hilarious. Still, it's wrong. How can you fire someone for their hat? Unless that hat has a swastika on it, or a hat that says "keep the White House white" (that last one was actually on the back of a truck in Florida...no lie, way to go South).

Anyways, this is wrong and he is obviously going to sue. Sure, she is an idiot for wearing that hat, but you can't fire her for it. You can ridicule her, pelt her with beers, and maybe even slap the hat off her head, but there is no reason for someone losing their job over it. Grow up Arkansas.
