Police: NBA Star Caught On Camera Stealing Sunglasses
Police in South Florida said former Orlando Magic star Juwan Howard was videotaped on surveillance camera stealing a pair of sunglasses, according to Local 6 sports director Todd Lewis.
Howard, who currently plays for the Houston Rockets, was shopping at a Miami Beach store when the alleged incident happened.
Miami Beach police told WPLG-TV that when they reviewed the surveillance tape, Howard could be seen pocketing the sunglasses when the clerk's eyes were averted.
"The current Houston Rocket has made close to $100,000 million in the league," Lewis said.
Howard owns several homes in Florida and made nearly $6 million last year, according to the WPLG report.
"A warrant is expected," Lewis said.

Demonstrations are a drag. Besides, we're much too high
Obviously a mistake though. USA Today reports that Howard will have made $142 million between 1996 and 2008, when his current contract expires. I suppose it's possible that he could have made $800 million his first two years, but it seems unlikely.
In the real world, WWE believes that no matter what our race, religious creed or ethnic background in America, we all share the common bond of being Americans. American-Arabs are a part of the fabric of America, and they should be embraced by all of us.

What's more of a crime; him stealing the sunglasses or him making all that money over his NBA career?
"Speaking of Thomases, I loved your recent Atrocious GM Summit column, although I think that you flatter Isiah Thomas far too much by suggesting that he is merely one of a number of atrocious GMs. The truth is that Rob Babcock and Billy King are Einstein next to him. The mess he is creating right now in New York will be studied by business school students 50 years from now alongside Enron and pets.com."

Okay... I've worked up a little formula and applied it to all the 65 - now 64 - teams in the field. First off, the weakest - according to the TWF (as I called it) - out of the top 4 is Alabama.
