Preston Parker was the only player who kept Florida State’s offensive motor from stalling last year, providing a spark from wide receiver and running back. Within the last month though, he was caught with a loaded gun and marijuana in his possession. Both were originally felony charges, but were downgraded to misdemeanors. Parker is only going to miss 2 games though, according to Bobby Bowden…The two worst games on FSU’s schedule, West Carolina and Chattanooga...
FSU's Preston Parker was as dynamic off the field this Winter as he was on it in the fall...is this a one time anomaly or an emerging pattern for the Florida State star?...He’ll be back for their ACC opener though, just in time for their game against Wake Forest, a team who has had the Seminole’s number the last 2 years. After the first report of this incident came out, I thought Parker would miss at least 6 months of the upcoming season, possibly kicked off the team. He seems to being following in the footsteps of another multi-talented South-East football star: Ryan Perrilioux. All 3 of his offenses were mid-major, similar to Parker’s charges.
MLB: Berkman a possible Triple Crown Winner?
I don’t follow baseball as much as I used too, I don’t watch as many games or keep up with statistics as much as much as a few years ago. One player who’s caught my attention though is Lance Berkman. They guy’s leading the NL in home runs, runs batted in, and is in second place in batting average behind Chipper Jones. And it’s not that his (Berkman’s) average is that low, it’s at a stellar .389, 25 points ahead of anyone else...
Lance Berkman is on pace to hit 54 home runs this year, easily better than any other players' projected total.
...Assuming pitchers find a way to Jones out, Mr. Berkman might get the triple crown; the first time done in the MLB in more than 40 years. It would be the first time in over 70 years for a player in the national league. No player has been dominating pitchers the way Berkman has this year. He’s always been an All-Star caliber player, but if he keeps playing the way he has, [regardless of whether he wins the Triple Crown] he’s a shoo-in for MVP.
That's it for today, be sure to vote on the poll on the sidebar.
Until next time,

Parker is just continuing the tradition of FSU players getting into touble. All he needs to do now is steal some shoes from Foot Locker and find a friend at Dillard's and they might retire his jersey. Or maybe make a statue for him. They could put him on Renegade shooting his .45 into the air!
Great work.
