Houston's Deon Possibly Benched for Home Playoff Opener
Houston (AP) -- The Houston Independent Life Sun Globe Herald Phoenix is reporting that the Houston Orangebloods cornerback Evil Deon may be not be in the starting lineup for Monday night's game against the Austin Longhorns. Houston Orangebloods officials had no comment on the report, but the Associated Press noted on Sunday that Evil Deon's Bentley did not arrive until several hours after practice had begun at the team's practice fields.
The Houston Orangebloods have a notably strict team policy regarding arrival times of players for practices. Evil Deon has been late to prior practices this season and the team has responded by not starting the cornerback, instead bringing him off the bench.
Deon's contributions to the team are well noted in Houston and the rest of the league. He has played his entire 3 year career with the Houston Orangebloods and is considered to be a fan favorite. He is a vocal leader in the secondary, and has led his team in interceptions for the 2nd straight season. He was voted a unanimous defensive captain again this season.
However, this season he has taken part-ownership in a popular Houston nightclub. The nightclub, called "Prime Time", has been very popular with athletes and movie stars. However, while it hasn't affected Deon's gameday performances, many have wondered if his activities in the nightclub have prevented him from being on time to practice.
The Houston Orangebloods play the Austin Longhorns 8pm CST, and the game is nationally televised on ESPN700.

Jimmy is a frequent visitor to Prime Time. He stops by every time he is in town to enjoy the scene and talk shit about Deon. Jimmy is opening up his own restaurant at the end of the season. The place will be called Jimmy Turner's. It was supposed to open last off-season, but Jimmy had trouble coming up with the name.
