As hard as it is for me to believe, Marquis Daniels is not someone police are investigating  in connection to some criminal activity.

The Associated Press is reporting that Daniels, whose troubles with the law rival that of NFL bad boy Pac-Man Jones, is not a suspect in a rape that allegedly took place during a “small gathering” at Daniels home in the upscale Indianapolis suburb of Carmel.

I know I rail Larry Bird a lot on this blog but I think it’s worth noting that this was a guy that Pacers GM Larry Bird traded for and then stood by even after he was involved in numerous off-the-court incidents, many of which involved teammate, the oft-injured , under-producing Jamaal Tinsley. Tinsley appeared to have learned his lesson about behaving himself after his car took automatic rifle fire after an incident at an Indianapolis nightclub.

I think all Pacer fans are looking forward to the end of the Bird/Walsh regime, the rebuilding of this franchise and the return of a team that the community can be proud of because this isn’t it.
