Here's something you might be interested in.
There were a few crazy parties last night, as well as my fantasy football draft. Always weird to go from a three hour period spent with geeks that have 34 different color-coded sheets with various football player stats....to a crazy party downtown, with scantly clad women and drunk guys hitting on them.
So when I woke up in a haze this morning, I turned on the local news, which to me acts the way coffee does to others. It wakes me up. I feel more alert as I listen to the craziness while sipping some OJ.
One person I imagine doing both...hanging out at a fantasy football party and going downtown, is Shawn Merriman, the Chargers all-pro. He got arrested for choking Tila Tequilla, the reality show star.
Merriman claims he Tila was drunk and he was just trying to keep her from driving while intoxicated. She claims he detained her against her will at his Poway digs. This after a night drinking at Stingaree (on a side note: which is a more popular Chargers hang out -- Stingaree or On Broadway?)
Can you imagine Merriman trying to sell the cops on that story? They ask her name and he says, "I'm glad you asked. Her name is Tequilla." Wonder who the cops are going to believe at that point?
But I wonder...since Tila is about 4'11", and I'm guessing Merriman is 6'4" and muscular...if he really felt she was too drunk to drive, couldn't he just grab the keys from her without it being much of a struggle? Hell, he could even do that idiotic "lights out" dance he does when he tackles people. If he did that right in front of the door, it would be hard for her to get by.
Ya know, I never condone putting your hand on a woman. But if there was ever a gal that needed to be slapped, it's Tila. Have you ever seen her, or heard that annoying laugh?
The other news story involved four teenagers, ages 15 and 16. Two girls, two boys. They vandalized a school in El Cajon. And, just as I also never condone vandalism, if you're going to vandalize, this is probably one of the better things that could happen to a school.
They plastered the walls with glue and glitter. Heck, if I were the principal, I might just keep it.
We should try to get the guys that tag and spray paint graffiti under the bridges, to perhaps start using glitter.
I'm sure we can get it to catch on. At least in Hillcrest.
Anyway...I was surprised to hear that it was $3,000 in damage to the school.
The kids won't be able to tell their parents it was just a school prank, as they also stole a few items.
But hey...the school will probably discipline them more than the Chargers will. As much as the Chargers GM claims to not like these personalities that get in trouble with the law, they sure have a lot of 'em. And I've yet to hear of any of these recent DUIs the players have gotten, leading to a suspension. Oh yeah, I forgot. That would weaken the teams chance at making the playoffs. Priorities.
