February 2009 ArchivesHe's still sporting the same infectious smile he had at Jones High School, and with the U.T. Longhorns. But there was something different about Daniel Gibson at the shoot around before the Rockets and Cavaliers game. It was the huge star with the letter H, etched into the side of his head.

He says he takes the responsibility ...and he apologizes to everyone in baseball and in the U.S., his family and his fans. Mark Tuohey ....an attorney from Vinson and Elkins Washington, D.C. office ...represented Tejada in court this morning ....he is the first to speak. ...Astros shortstop, Miguel Tejada, along with his attorney, Mark Tuohey ....are standing by at this point. We were just told ...the ground rules .... It looks like we're goinig to have a full-house ....for the Tejada news conference ...coming up at 5pm Central time at Minute Maid Park. Head coach Dominic Kinnear told me afterwards that he didn't know, "...how the guys would come out."
