All That Glitters
Ewing Oil's 32nd round draft pick Gary Glitter faces seven years in a Vietnamese prison if found gulity on charges of child molestation. Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, is known, best or otherwise, for the ever-present rock anthem "Rock and Roll, Part 2."
A spokesperson for Ewing Oil had this to say about Glitter's legal predicament: "While we at Ewing Oil in no way condone what Mr. Glitter has been accused of, we wholeheartedly applaud any endeavor, such as an extended stay in a foreign prison, which would put the life of one of our players in jeopardy. The fact that Mr. Glitter has been accused of child molestation is icing on the cake. We do not like his chances of survival if he is found guilty. And if he is acquitted of these charges, hopefully he is shamed into committing suicide."
