Pacers News

Indianapolis, Indiana

It was announced today that the Indianapolis Pacers plan to construct a jail cell and court room in Conseco Fieldhouse.

They will not be the first professional sports team to have a court room and detention center in their arena. About half of all NFL arenas now come equipped with their own prison. The Pacers, however, will not use their court room and detention center quite like other teams use theirs. While other teams use their jail cells mostly for unruly fans, the Pacers plan to use their detention center for their own players. That's right, the Pacers are planning on replacing their home team's locker room with a jail cell.

The Pacers' front office stated that they were making the changes to Conseco Fieldhouse in an effort to help their players feel more at home.

OK, the story about the court room and detention center at Conseco is just a joke. But, it was announced today that Shawne Williams of the Pacers was arrested last night for possession of marijuana and driving without a license. That is not a joke. You can check out the ESPN story here.

More legal troubles for the Pacers. How many players have they had arrested now? The Pacers are a joke.

If Reggie Miller was already dead he would be rolling over in his grave right now. But, thankfully Reggie is still alive. I say the Simons should fire Larry Bird and offer the job to Reggie Miller. Lord knows he couldn't possibly screw up the roster any more than Larry has.
