Sinking a half-court shot is the latest testament to “Downtown Scotty Brown’s’’ basketball prowess, but it turns out it wasn’t quite the lucky basket it appeared to be. An aide confirmed for the Globe that Brown sunk the shot not randomly, but on the fifth of five attempts. Video of the senator’s bucket last Friday at a Hyannis community center was immediately scooped up by his reelection committee, titled, “Scott Brown’s Amazing Half-Court Shot,’’ and posted to YouTube.

Great investigating report, there must be nothing going on with Elizabeth Warren.
Is nothing about the Scottster real?
If his campaign is going to put it out there, then it is fair game to look at the facts of what really went on.
I don't work for the Brown re-election effort... nor am I a register ed Republican voter. But I can still desire to seek a bipartisan MassaChusetts delegation in the Congress, with Sen. Brown being at least a one-man rep. And it absolutely disgusts me to see snarks like this Glen Johnson creature seeking any little issue they can find to wack Brown. A 20% record of sinking midcourt shots - with Brown's flackette telling what the tale is - and Johnson thinks it is a story. Where the hek is Bucko Smith to teach this Johnson bozo what a real story is? This clown will probably submit his campaign coverage for a Pulitzer.
This is still fewer attempts than it is taking Liz Warren to explain why she was promoting herself as a Native American law professor.
So, he's shooting at 20%! Most BB players could have done it in three! The guy's a stiff!
What do they teach in journalism schools these days, Writing for Idiots?
Just another attempt by the brownies to paint a picture of what he's not. He's not a basketball player and he sure is not independent.. He is a REPUBLICAN and a Grover Norquist signee...
Not only is he a better sport's fan than Elizabeth, but I bet he could beat up Warren in a fist fight as well! As citizen's of Massachusetts we should demand this fight! Senator Sidelines does not care about any real issues anyway...he just talks about sports in his advertisements! Safe and very Sidelines-like!
Hey Glen thanks for the details. Lets see how many you can make along with princess gotnogame!
