Thanks, I'll take that.  And go have a discussion with a cockatiel.

Have a drink for me!   A little cocktail usually helps discussion dramatically!

 

Oh, you said cockatiel, not cocktail.

Report: Rutgers, Eddie Jordan close
 

 

Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Eddie Jordan is nearing an agreement with Rutgers to replace Mike Rice as coach, a person familiar with the situation has told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because Jordan and Rutgers interim athletic director Carl Kirschner are meeting again Sunday to finalize the language in the contract before an announcement can be made. Jordan flew to New Jersey Saturday to begin the process. A deal could be in place by Monday, with a press conference later in the week.

 

Jordan, 58, who played for the Scarlet Knights from 1973-77, would take over a program mired in scandal after a video was released that showed Rice kicking and grabbing players while uttering anti-gay slurs at them in practice. Jordan has been a head coach in the NBA with Sacramento, Washington and Philadelphia, and helped lead Rutgers to the 1976 Final Four.
