I realize that former Louisville cager Erik Brown has serious mental problems. I wouldn't make fun of that, even if he played at Pitt. But still, I find this statement a bit humorous:

Once the nation's leading freshman scorer in college basketball, Brown, 28, now believes the CIA installed a chip in his brain in a conspiracy that somehow involves his former University of Louisville coach, Rick Pitino.

Personally, I could see a lot of truth in a conspiracy between Rick Pitino, Louisville, and the CIA. I might even myself have a chip implanted into my brain. Finally, I have a reason for my love of expensive Italian suits and hair gel, my New York accent, and failed professional career.
