(Every week there are a number of stories slip through the cracks here at ShakedownSports. These are just a few of them.)
National Street Records has announced that Pacman Jones and producer Spoaty are teaming up to form a hip hop duo called “Posterboyz.” Their first single is due out later this month—it’s a song about big money, cars, and jewelry called “Let it Shine.” So basically, it sounds like a transcript of one of Pacman’s court appearances.
On Wednesday former NBA referee Tim Donaghy plead guilty to two felony charges stemming from allegations that he bet on NBA games. Fortunately for Donaghy, he managed to get down a $10,000 bet on Wednesday being the day he would plead guilty.
The Houston Dynamo have reached and agreement with Amigo energy to put the electricity provider’s logo on the front of their jerseys. The Dynamo are the 5th MLS team to sell the front of their jerseys this season. The league may not be able to emulate European leagues in terms of talent, but it’s nice to see MLS is trying to emulate them in other areas.
Earlier this week New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg presented A-Rod with a key to city in honor of his 500th major league home run. A-Rod then took the key and went on an all night expedition to every strip club VIP room in the city.
