Weekend Potpourri (Early Sunday Edition)

Trump vs. Cuban: Battle of the Billionaires (Parlayer)

You might imagine having all of the money you could possibly imagine, a gorgeous wife, a hit TV show and a number of bestsellers might make you a pretty happy guy. Yet as Donald Trump continually proves, that obviously isn���t the case.
Youth coach sued for $1M (AP)
A lawsuit filed by the parents of a youth football league player seeks $1 million from a coach they accuse of grabbing the boy by his helmet and jerking him off his feet.
Jaret Wright, Our Hero (1994-2007), Retires (Royal Brougham Way)
Jaret Wright is the 13-year story of even when a team has the one thing that every team wants, young pitching, you don't really even want it. With a career in which he never pitched 200 innings in a season, had a career ERA of 5.09, and somehow successfully swindled various major league clubs out of over $33 million dollars, the fact that he was able to have his career last so long is downright amazing.
Weekend Malaise with Ted (The Hater Nation)
So you thought your week was bad, Ted has found some people whose lives are worse than yours. So while you are spending your weekend shuffling from Costco to cleaning out the attic, at least you know your lives aren't this bad.
Pac Man Doesn���t Get It (Sportable)
There are some people in this world who simply can���t get the message. They don���t understand the simple rules of society because, for whatever reason, they���ve never had to follow them. Adam Pac Man Jones is one of those people.

Jaret Wright was the QB of the first HS football I ever covered for the LA Times back in the early, early 1990s. I also was at the all-star game in Rancho Cucamonga when he had his face busted. That was the same night I had to go to Ontario International to pick up some 3b the Dodgers had called up to San Bernardino. His name was Adrian Beltre. Since he spoke only Spanish, I made one of the Spanish-speaking pitchers go with me, Dennis Reyes.

Alright, I'll stop name dropping right now.
