New Mexico hoopster in trouble
Dumb basketballer story of the day: Ryan Kersten's teammate at New Mexico, Kyle Prochaska, is in a spot of bother.
Brief summary:
- Prochaska is found by cops passed out drunk in the back seat of a car, which while driven up to, and now leaning on, a fence, has its front tyre missing
- Prochaska loses it when the cops wake him up, gets dosed with pepper spray
- Once cuffed and loaded in the police vehicle, Prochaska starts spitting all over the car, requiring officers to cover his face with a "spit hood".
- He's the fourth (!) NM player to be in legal strife since July.
(Spit hood is so my favourite new phrase.)
This story comes courtesy of the excellent Deadspin site. I've become a Bill Simmons convert since reading about him on here, and wholeheartedly recommend others give Deadspin a try.
