Gooden's son arrested on drug charge
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Dwight Gooden's teenage son was arrested and charged with selling crack cocaine to undercover deputies.

Dwight Eugene Gooden Jr., son of the former star pitcher, was arrested Wednesday after selling $200 worth of the drug, Hillsborough County Sheriff's Lt. Rod Reder said.

Gooden, 17, of Tampa, was taken to the juvenile detention center, Reder said. Police refused further comment because Gooden is a juvenile.

The senior Gooden did not return a phone message left Friday with the New York Yankees, who employ him as a minor league pitching coach. It could not be determined if the son has a lawyer.

The younger Gooden was charged with possession and delivery of crack cocaine after being arrested in a sting operation Sept. 25, Reder said.

Deputies bought 2.4 grams of crack cocaine from Gooden and 19-year-old Kendon Rashid Davis, Reder said. Davis was charged with three counts of possession of cocaine and one count of possession with intent to deliver. Records show Davis was released from jail Thursday after posting $19,000 bail.

The elder Gooden was suspended for 60 days in 1994 for testing positive for cocaine while with the New York Mets. He tested positive for cocaine again while on suspension and was sidelined for the 1995 season.

Gooden, the 1985 NL Cy Young Award winner, went 194-112 with a 3.51 ERA before retiring in 2001

It's all been done. Woo hoo hoo

But this thread's title is better.

This is possibly the best thread title ever. And it is made even better by the fact that the story has already been posted elsewhere IMO.

Why are all you Techies posting on this message board instead of watching your Yellow Jackets taking an early lead on NC State? Heck, why aren't you in the stands? There is a lot of Tech fans dressed as empty seats.

[VENT]Those Tech fans dressed as empty seats are the @#*@(^#@*# premium seats that the AA is selling at $2k a pop on top of a $2k minimum donation. So who buys them? Corporations. Or nobody. And do they fill in the seats with fans when it's obvious noone will sit there? NO.[/VENT]

Actually, the stands were pretty full halfway through the first quarter with the exception of the NC State area in the north stands. Homecoming weekend always fills in late, and the 12pm start didn't help matters. Hell of a game, though - I think Rivers can say b'bye to his Heisman campaign.
