From today's story about Calvin Murphy being indicted for allegedly sexually abusing five of his daughters:

"Murphy, a guard for the Rockets from 1970-83, has 14 children by nine women. During his tenure with the team, he made nearly 90 percent of his free throws . . ."

Just seemed to me like an odd couple of sentences, one right after the other.

Hopefully he at least taught them to shoot free throws as well. Because none of the effing kids can make 'em anymore.

i don't think it's a free throw thing, they're just doing the party line "child molestation = success"

I think it's a hint that Shaq needs to become a bit more promiscuous.

I heard Boomer say, on last night's Yankees/Red Sox telecast, that since both the Yankees and Devil-Rays had gotten off to terrible starts in the wake of their jet lag from the games they played in Tokyo, and had since both gone crazy (Yankees 41-15, Devil-Rays 25-7 at one point), perhaps the other teams should travel to Japan and get jet-lagged.

Not really...you give him a wide-open shot, and he'll make it.

I am against the freedom to throw children.

I think it is worse than dwarf tossing.

I think we need a worst-joke thread to settle this dispute. Out of respect for the dead, Marlon will be exempted.

I think its a comment on the ease with which you can find women when you are an NBA player.

Sounds like the original story has been truncated a bit. If not, horrible writing.

Boris,

I can do much worse than that. Think "baton twirling."
