For Jimmy Connors, Basketball is a Crime

Jimmy Connors has just been charged with a crime.

Here we go again. I am tired of peeps saying bad things about Jimmy. I was there and he was framed. I have known him for a lonf time and he would never do anything like that, he is agood family guy that loves his wife and kids. Please leave him alone. I am the original Santa Barbara Witness, so I hope that the imposter stops using my name it is unfair to me and Jimmy

jIMMY , YOUR HOMETOWN WOULDN'T LIKE YOU BEING LIKE THAT .
I am talking about Belleville , IL . Where you grew up at .
You aren't missing anything there , nothing changed.
I always heard you had a temper , I knew that , back in 1970's.
When you owned a resturant , your family managed.

Although I wasn't at the Gaucho game, I kind of have to side with Jimmy on this one.
The campus police could have been a lot more understanding and diffused this situation
without the intimidation, because the last person you should try to intimidate is Jimmy
Conner's ( although McEnroe would be far behind).

The Santa Barbara police are Nazi Storm Troopers....a bunch of knuckle-dragging thugs in uniform.

His response to the cops asking him to leave was....He came in a taxi and couldn't leave immediately. Makes sense. Jimmy's OK with me.
