PHOENIX- As fans rioted the streets Sunday evening, the general consensus was that there was another public protest about the latest law regarding immigration in Arizona. There is a new law that gives police in Arizona the legal authority to inquire about anyone’s immigration status and have them show proof if by any means they look suspicious to the officer. However, Deputy Tom Branston, one of the officers standing guard pointed out there wasn’t any indication of protest but rather celebration.
Apparently, as soon as game 4 ended, the street of Phoenix fell onto an uproar as many fans left their house and ran naked onto the streets. Branston commented, “It was crazy, there was even this bandwagon that rolled out empty in the middle of Mesa road, downtown; before you knew it, like 30 people jumped in and took off!” Some local Suns fans were overheard saying that they’ve finally won it all. One fan in particular, whose name we couldn’t get yelled, ‘we’re the 2010 Champions baby! whooo!’. After we informed him that they’d still have to face the winner of the utah-lakers game and then face the champion of the Eastern conference afterwards, he had a look of horrid disbelief on his face.
More authorities had to step in when things got a bit riled up and stores started being burned down. They took the opportunity to demand proof of residency in Arizona to over 200 riot participants and ended up arresting roughly 180. It turned out they didn’t really live in Arizona and they were previously fans of other teams like Dallas and Oklahoma City.
CINCINNATI – After a down year in amount of arrests, the Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to terms on a two-year contract with troubled cornerback Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones. Since he was drafted in 2005, he has been arrested six times and suspended by the league, making it difficult for him to stay on the field. Cincinnati is hoping that by signing him, they will be able to have more players behind bars than any other team.
OAKLAND – Despite throwing only the 19th perfect game in Major League history to lead his team to a 4-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Mother’s Day, Oakland Athletics pitcher was upset with his teammates for celebrating on the mound after the final out was recorded.

OAKLAND – In an effort to get some kind production out of their 2007 first overall pick, the Oakland Raiders have announced that they will not release JaMarcus Russell and plan to use him at the guard position starting in training camp. With the draft day acquisition of quarterback Jason Campbell, and Russell reporting to the team’s mini-camp at nearly 300 pounds, the team believes that Russell will be able to help teams struggling offensive line.
