Sumo of all fears

I am extremely glad that this champion athlete is promising to change his ways and lead a better, more productive, and highly floral life from now on.
However, I would point out that we've all read stories about athletes who get into trouble in barrooms, from the Yankees taking the Copa apart in the 1950's to Ben Roethlisberger's most recent nocturnal prowling at the Presumption Of Innocence Cafe. Can I just say that I would not want to own the "nightclub" in which sumo wrestlers brawl? I do not believe that would end well at all.

“Still too early, but I share the concern. Would love to see the eventual second unit guys – Baby, Jeff Green, Arroyo, West and probably Kristic – get to play together. Rondo looks exhausted and it would be helpful if Doc could cut back his minutes.
Also, I strongly suspect there were concerns that Perk was not the same player anymore.”

“Packer was serious about hoops. I knew it was a big game when Musberger/Nantz would call a game with Packer. He was old school so he took delight in fundamentals such as a pick/roll or boxing out a rebounder. I'm still a young kid, but I enjoyed his analysis.”
