Today in
Sports History
1947 - Larry Doby pinch hit for the Cleveland Indians against the Chicago White Sox. The event made him the first black player to play in the American League.

1975 - Arthur Ashe became the first African-American man to win a Wimbledon singles title when he defeated Jimmy Connors in four sets.

1997 - Martina Hingis, at age 16, became the youngest Wimbledon winner in 110 years when she beat Jana Novotna in the women's final.

1998 - Roger Clemens (Toronto Blue Jays) got his 3,000th career strikeout. 

Still....The greatest country in the world.

So proud to be an American.

A few headlines across these United States:

Have a happy 4th of July!

Even though Venus lost.....and Venus & Serena lost at doubles....Serena came through:

Serena Williams beats Zvonareva to win Wimbledon

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Serena Williams swept Vera Zvonareva in straight sets Saturday to win her fourth Wimbledon title and 13th Grand Slam championship, extending the Williams family dominance at the All England Club.
The top-ranked and defending champion American overwhelmed the 21st-seeded Russian 6-3, 6-2 in a one-sided final that lasted just 67 minutes and showed why Williams is considered one of the greatest players of all time.
Williams served nine aces, broke three times and never faced a break point in nine service games. She finished the tournament without dropping a set.

At least that's what UGA  Athletic Director Damon Evans wants us to believe.

The saga goes on........from a DUI arrest.....to possible ....marriage improprieties.

From the Athens Banner Herald.....a copy of the initial police report:


Evans was swerving, smelled of alcohol and had bloodshot, watery eyes, the arresting officer wrote in the report. He had a pair of red panties between his legs, the trooper noted, and later said that the woman took them off and he was holding them.

Just a friend?   Read on:

 
He fumbled through his wallet looking for his license, and told the trooper he’d had two vodka martinis at the Beluga Martini Bar earlier that night.
Because he smelled of alcohol, the trooper asked Evans to step out of the car and perform some sobriety tests.
During the tests Evans repeatedly told the officer that he didn’t have to arrest him because he was the UGA athletic director.
“I am not trying to bribe you, but I am the athletic director of the University of Georgia,” he said, according to the trooper.
When the officer handcuffed him, Evans began to cry, the trooper reported.

 And then....this "she's just a friend"......(the 28 year old....white woman, Courtney Fuhrmann).... seals his fate:

After arriving at the jail, Fuhrmann told the trooper that Evans’ arrest did not matter because he was the athletic director.
“I promise you one thing, he will get off,” Fuhrmann told the trooper, according to his report. “Just to let you know, it will be erased because he is the Athletic Director of UGA and he has that power.”
When asked, she told the trooper that she and Evans had been seeing each other “only a week or so.”
 
 Damon.....you sure know how to pick 'em!

Our advice to Mr. Evans,  "Resign......before they fire your ass.   Get your lawyers working on a severance deal....and be gone.   Get your life back....your wife back....and start .....anew.

Damon Evans.....should know better.   He is not young and dumb.  He is not....uneducated.... Not financially challenged.  He has a great job....job security...a happy marriage....making almost $600,000 a year......in this small,  southern, college town.

My oh my......When will all this nonsense end?

  And.....what was he doing with this ....other.... woman?

Mr. Evans......has a great deal of  "splaining" to do:

City of Atlanta Damon Evans
Atlanta Police Department WSB-TV is reporting that 28-year-old Courtney Fuhrmann, of Atlanta, was a passenger in Damon Evans’ car.

Leave it to our Atlanta Hawks.....to make the bone-headed offer of the century:
