Sad News about the death of Larry Sheats

Larry and I used to play basketball at Herman C. Michael back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He undoubtedly was much better than me at basketball but he always tolerate my slow white ass trying to keep up with him on the court and off the court. He was always ready to talk about anything, anytime and has a great family - my best to them in this trying time. He came home too early and is dunking with Jesus now. I will never forget having to literally tackle him one time after he blew past me like three times in a row on a fast breaks, and he completely took it in stride (and could have become extremely angry and kicked my ass if he wanted to, and just smiled and laughed).

He was always good for a hug at Bethel Baptist too.

Sincerely, 
Dan Matthews

Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
