(Whatever sympathy one has with Jayson Williams, is totally lost with this little factoid. Seems that Williams let the big $$$ and all that surrounds it cloud his judgement of reality. This guy was living in fantasy-land.)
From Mike Kahn's article in CBS Sportsline...
Item: The judge presiding over the Jayson Williams trial ruled a sworn statement from teammate Dwayne Schintzius is inadmissible because it would "inflame the jury."
What it really means: He's right. Williams has given new meaning to the term, loose cannon. Incredibly enough, after a night of drinking, Williams bet Schintzius $100 he couldn't drag Williams' Rottweiler Zeus out of the house. When Schintzius pulled the dog out by his hind legs, Williams pulled out his shotgun and shot the dog in the side and the head, then threatened Schintzius, saying, "Shinbone, get this (expletive) dog off my porch or you're next."
