I’m trying to find a video clip of something that happend about a month and a half ago. It was a college basketball game and the best way to describe it is to paraphrase Jim Rome from his radio show. ( This guy is bringing the ball into the front court and looking to make a pass. The guy guarding him blasts him in the package and drops him like he was shot in the head.) I told this story to several people and they can’t belive it happened. I saw it once on TV but didn’t get it taped. The above description is pretty accurate. So if anyone knows where I can find the clip or what teams were involved, I’d like to show my friends the actual footage.

Howard’s Gil Goodrich thought he’d gotten away with a punch to the groin of a Delaware State player in Friday’s Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference semifinals.

He was suspended.
