Karma’s Already Chewed Up The Falcons QBs; Now It’s Going For Their Families
By Jay Busbee | January 24, 2008
Fascinating–in the dogs-eating-peanut-butter sense of the word–story out of Atlanta this week, as it turns out the father of Falcons QB D.J. Shockley got canned from his job as a high school coach for having naughty photos of a school administrator on his computer:
A North Clayton High School student was trying to fix the football coach’s computer last month when he stumbled upon racy photos of an assistant principal. He downloaded them to his iPod and started showing them to other students during school. The photos, taken by the football coach, found their way onto the Internet and prompted an internal investigation.
A couple things: first, is there anything less titillating (ha!) than the phrase “racy photos of an assistant principal”? Second, this kid is dead. D-E-D dead. He started the ball rolling on the firing of a guy whose son happens to play NFL football. Think there won’t be some recriminations? We’re thinking that ipod’s going to need to be surgically removed from somewhere before long.
Oh, and for those of you keeping score at home, the score for Falcons QBs goes like this: Michael Vick, doggone; Byron Leftwich, injured fifteen seconds after stepping onto the Georgia Dome turf; DJ Shockley, dad got fired and humiliated; and Joey Harrington, still Joey Harrington. Ouch.
