Perrilloux Making Headlines

Remember Ryan Perrilloux?
Texas' prized recruit a couple years ago that caused quite a furor by bolting for LSU?
Well he's back in the news. Too bad it's the middle of the off-season.
After making no contribution to the Tigers during his time there, he's been suspended indefinitely for trying to illegally enter a casino.
Granted, the offense doesn't sound so bad to me.
But the apple sure is.
The Longhorns dodged a bullet here.

Moving on, is anyone else getting tired of Boston whining?
You can't read a sports story about the city — and there seem to be hundreds every month — without coming across the words "suffering," "curse" or some form of the verb 'to deserve'.
While Bill Simmons has made a living from grousing about the bad luck of Boston, he's just one of many whimpering voices.
Now that "The Curse of the Bambino" has been removed from their arsenal with a World Series win, they're griping about losing a lottery.
Even the Boston Globe's venerable Bob Ryan has joined the pitiful chorus.

You want to talk curses? Start here.
Who did what to whom? Was it decided that 16 championships in 30 years was somehow unfair and obscene, and that enough was enough and the Celtics are never going to get another break again and that's that?
Because that's what it looks like. Nothing else can explain how the Celtics continue to suffer the wrath of powerful unseen forces determined to make their lives miserable.

Give me a break. Houston doesn't win, but it also doesn't have the sense of entitlement that leads to rants about sports not being fair when the breaks don't come. It was Houston the BoSox beat to finally win another World Series. The Astros were making their first October appearance, and of course, have yet to win the big one.
Boston, you have Tom Brady and the Patriots. Your beloved Sox are 10.5 ahead of the hated Yankees, and no one else is any closer.
You live the charmed life. Now stop imploring the nation for sympathy.
