Coin thrower admits

Anyone think he'll do a day of time?  
Nice that he fessed up.  Or was he busted on tape and the DA cut a deal with his defense atty leading to a subsequent scripted apology?

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- A Detroit Pistons fan was charged Wednesday with throwing an object onto the court after Philadelphia's Allen Iverson was struck with a coin during a playoff game.

Iverson was hit Tuesday night during the Pistons' 99-84 victory while he sat on the 76ers' bench with about two minutes left in the game, Auburn Hills police Sgt. Rick Leonard said in a statement.

Dennis W. Pauley, 31, was charged with throwing an object onto a playing surface, and Michael A. Roberts, 26, was charged with occupying a seat without a proper ticket.

They could be sentenced to 90 days in jail and fined $500.

Pauley was arrested Tuesday night, but later released pending a review.

"I want to apologize to the public for what I've done," he said Wednesday.

He should be appologizing to Iverson.  What a scuz.

Detroit makes Philadelphia look like a real nice town.  A stinking cesspool of rusted auto manufacturers.
