Well, it seems that some players will never be satisfied with the prospect of earning millions of dollars, having women throw themselves naked and panting at their feet, being cheered by millions of fans and driven around by chauffeurs.  No, some guys just have to satisfy that ever-present urge to hoist the Jolly Roger, pull out the semi-automatic firearms, and start taking stuff that isn't theirs.

So it apparently was with three Tennessee football players last night.  Now, the whole thing isn't clear yet, and I suppose it could be some kind of misunderstanding ("I didn't mean it when I pulled the gun and told them to give me everything they have, officer!  It was just a prank, I swear!") or a case of mistaken identity, but it doesn't look likely. 

Oh, and then there's this:

A Volunteer TV News photographer on the scene captured the suspects while they were being identified. At least one of them wore a black University of Tennessee t-shirt with an orange Adidas logo and the phrase “impossible is nothing.”

Well, except maybe ever playing SEC college football again.  That just might be impossible.  The NFL, now, who knows - lots of felons seem to make it in that league.  Armed robbery just might be a résumé builder.

Does this remind you of anything?  Let me give you a hint:

Just substitute a Toyota Prius for the convenience store, add a couple of guys, shake well, and voilà.  Well, at least they had the good grace not to terrify the poor victims further by using an Uzi.  Or perhaps they just couldn't afford one.

God, that is a funny picture.  I giggle like a schoolgirl every time I see it, but I'm sure that's a character flaw ...
