What was Bob Thuggins pounding on the plane?

Ya I think Huggins needs to be given a break by all of us(media included)...everyone deserves a second chance...and falling down doesn't mean your drunk it means your a klutz

There are so many things wrong with what you just wrote

1. Thuggins got his second chance back in the 90s.  I am all for 2nd chances, not 12th chances
2. The media treats Bob Huggins like some patron saint of college basketball.  I have no clue where you get off telling us that the media treats him poorly
3. You have to be a whole new level of klutz to fall down on a surface as smooth as a tarmac.

He was checking his cell phone messages, someone yelled for him who was behind him, he turned his head to see who it was while still walking and tripped over a safety cone.

As soon as I saw this story, I knew this nonsense would be coming. 

You can't tell me that in all of your life you have never had any time where you had the "shot by sniper" syndrome.  Everyone has done it at least once in their life and I would venture to say that most people have done it more than once.  You are walking along and either the sidewalk reaches up and grabs you or you turn your head for a brief second and trip over the curb or, in this instance, a safety cone.  It doesn't mean that someone was drunk.  But, I knew everyone would pile onto this story like gangbusters and go crazy with it.
