An Arkansas television station has apologized for its story on Darren McFadden reportedly driving a new Cadillac Escalade.
KARK-TV in Little Rock had first reported that Mike Conley was an agent and was at the car dealership at the time of the purchase of the Cadillac Escalade. The TV station then got in contact with Conley who said he was not involved with the purchase, is not representing McFadden and is not a certified sports agent at this time.
KARK-TV issued an apology on their website.
Little Rock TV station KARK posted on its Web site Thursday that a new Cadillac Escalade is in Arkansas Razorback tailback Darren McFadden’s possession. A source claims McFadden was present at the car dealership when sports agent Mike Conley negotiated the deal. Conley was a nine-time Razorback NCAA long and triple jump champion lettering in track from 1984-1987.
KARK reports its source said the car was purchased and put in the name of Mini Muhammed, McFadden’s mother.
Arkansas sports information director Kevin Trainor said, " We are aware of the report and with any compliance issue we must actively work to review the situation. "
"That is 100 percent a lie. I would challenge anybody to say that I have ever been at a dealership with Darren McFadden, " Conley was quoted as saying by KARK’s Web site.
Evgeni Nabokov made 26 saves for his fifth shutout and league-leading 20th win of the season and the Sharks extended their club-record road winning streak to eight games with a 1-0 win over the St. Louis Blues on Friday night.
The Sharks also set a team record by earning a point in their 11th straight road game (10-0-1). San Jose, which got a goal from Milan Michalek late in the third period, has outscored its opponents 32-16 over the stretch.
The Blues, who were blanked at home for the second straight game, have lost six of seven at the Scottrade Center. Blues goalie Manny Legace stopped 17 shots. Prior to that stretch, the Blues were 10-3 on home ice.
They now travel down to Dallas to play the Stars. I’m looking forward to it, the Cotton Bowl is providing tickets to the media covering the Tigers to check out the Blues tonight.
