Tyler Hansbrough takes up diving
Posted Wednesday, May 7, 2008 @ 06:53 pm

The teaser headlines on Yahoo! tend to be pretty sensationalized to get you click on sometimes lame stories.
Anyway, today's lead headline was blaring about Tyler Hansbrough's "bad idea." "Photos ... have one blogger asking: What was he thinking?" says the subhead.
I was expecting a photo of Hansbrough robbing a bank or accepting the keys to a new car from a North Carolina booster.
The blog, with photo, is about Hansbrough jumping from a balcony into a pool at a frat party. Plenty of interesting comments ensue. The original report from WTVD, with video, is from late last week.

You can check it out for yourself by clicking here.
Should the Pride of Poplar Bluff be jumping off balconies into pools at college parties? Better to do it now before his NBA contract forbids it.
