So here's a story. Emil Brown is having a halfway kinda breakout season, but it's not all sunshine and roses. Mainly because some dame says he owes her money for a sexual assault settlement. The story, written by Charles Emerick, ran today in the subscription only Kansas City Daily Record, so I will recount the good parts here for you.Emil Brown, an outfielder now with the Oakland A's, faces accusations that he breached a contract in which he was to pay more than $75,000 for a January 2007 incident. Brown, 33, who played for three years in Kansas City, joined Oakland as a free agent prior to this season. In a vague breach of contract lawsuit filed on Thursday, Jennifer Haigh, 24, claimed Brown owes her an undisclosed amount as part the deal they reached after a "pre-suit mediation process."
See, our buddy Emil was accused by Ms. Haigh of barging through the front door without knocking but replace 'front door' with 'sexual acquiescence'. Then he allegedly "entered into this settlement agreement and release for the express purposes of avoiding the potential harm to his career caused by the threat of personal exposure of Haigh's claims of wrongdoing as well as avoiding the costs and expenses of litigation"
Whoops!
The numbers of the settlement are a little foggy. Haigh claims that Brown offered anywhere from $5,000-$10,000. What is not in dispute is that they met at a place called "The Cashew." This is actually the second time this case has been brought to court, the first one was dismissed because, well, Haigh lies all the time.
"Plaintiff has admitted to lying on two separate occasions to the Missouri Driver's License Bureau about her physical address and has alleged that she lied to her employer in her handwritten note of March 2007 regarding her whereabouts during that time," Wright wrote in his order. "There is no evidence presently before this court that provides any assurances that plaintiff would actually be truthful about her domicile in connection with this litigation. Plaintiff's self-serving statements in her affidavit, her deposition and in her answers to defendant's interrogatories do not inspire confidence and the court affords them little weight."
All of this adds up to... I have no idea. But I wrote it anyway.

I'm speechless. I chalked this feeling up to typical CTC poor grammar/syntax, but then I re-read the story and concluded that CTC was fine. It was just THAT fucking weird.

The Big Lead has a new tagline.
The Cashew always struck me as a little yuppie; weird place for Emil to be hanging out.
On another note, The Peanut is rad.
"Sexual acquiescence"?
I don't know what that means... but I'm kinda turned on by it.
Let it be known that the woman in question is also an ex-stripper.
"Ex" stripper? Not after this case is over.
Oh boy, is this great! This Sunday Ms. wahoo and I are in the first row in left field for A's-Yankees. Please, please, please let Brown be playing left field that day. This could be epic.
LEAVE EMIL ALONE
