Gerenimo died in 1909, Cochise died in 1874, Crack Cocaine first hit the sreets in Miami, New York and Los Angeles in 1984.

It is physically impossible for them to have used it together. Sorry if this news makes you sad.

Thought I would throw in my 2 cents since I guess I am "Steve" as well. Looks like these 2 guys(who happened to be the very 2 who hacked him) were pretty convinced of his record and awards or they wouldn't have published them...several times. Something obviously went sour with them. Maybe our "humble corrospondent" can enlighten us on just to what lenghts those in the press will go to attempt to discredit those who lose favor with them. Over abuse of power soccerfut or just the worst kind of bigotry and muckraking. As someone who worked in media in south MS I can say these people suck and should be run right out of the business. Thanks for leaving this up Blake as this really clears the air a bit.

This has gotten so amazingly comical. There's more butthurt going on between you and your split personalities than a small little white boy in prison feels. If you're whole intention is make us believe who you are or who you arent, then it's a losing battle. No one gives a **** who you are gramps, fact of the matter is you're an annoying, ignorant troll that none of us like to have around. Keep trying to "clear your name" all you want and post under multiple names and we'll continue to make you the laughing stock of this site

I really don't think it was anyone's intention to "clear his name". Quite frankly that was done long ago and even the 2 who wrote this are resigned to that. I just think it was rednecks intention to answer your "This is Steve" post. Oh yes here is something else for you to bite on.......

EDITOR'S NOTE: Upon further review, according to the Meridian Star, the Philadelphia (Miss.) High Tornadoes, led by coach Stephen Thompson, made it to the Class 2A playoffs in 2006.

Below are several comments from Stephen Thompson regarding the articles published by the St. Petersburg Times:

“In an article dated August 22, 2009 written by Joey Knight and appearing in the St Petersburg Times the circumstances of my turning down the Gulf boys basketball coaching job are revealed. Athletic Director Travis Dewalt is quoted. As a result of my not being able to secure a teaching position within the county I terminated my application process and my interest in the position. In late August of 2009 I began interviews and negotiations with Springstead HS to assume the role of teacher and Head Boys basketball coach.

“I entered into negotiations with Springstead in early September and had accepted the job in mid September 2009. There was no job to rescind on September 23, 2009 because I had already resigned the job in August 2009 and Pasco Co reposted the open position as stated by Travis Dewalt. This whole episode was reported by Joey Knight of the St. Pete Times in August 2009.

“I assume I was released after our season ended in the state playoffs because they knew I was not happy at the school and they wanted to be free to search for a new coach and have a teaching position available. They were well within their rights to do this.

“In 1995 and 1996 my Tyner HS boys basketball teams advanced to the district championship games and to the State Regionals much as it is in the Florida HS basketball championship series. Since I had been coaching in Mississippi I simply stated 'State Playoffs' on my resume because that is the championship series alignment in that state. Matthew Gillespie with the TSSAA obviously did not recognize this term as it is only used in the state football championship series in Tennessee. I am sure he thought the reference was to the State Final Four.

"My coaching record has not been accurately documented by the Times. They have neither listed records at all schools nor have these been verified totally by the Times.

“I have in my possession every piece of information from my personnel file with the Hernando Co. schools and there is nothing pertaining to this article in these documents. All observations were satisfactory, all evaluations satisfactory, and they checked past references with a fine tooth comb as they would any candidate for any teaching or administrative position. There are copies of phone reference checks and they even contacted one of the most successful basketball coaches in Mississippi basketball history to inquire about my coaching experience.

“I spoke with Penny Hardaway in April [2011]. He never knew me personally but he now recognizes I did indeed coach him. I never had any impact on his career but I never stated this to anyone associated with the Times. My coaching in the Bluff City League can be verified through current Southwestern State CC head coach and former University of Memphis assistant coach Vertais Sails who is a member of the National Junior College Hall of Fame. It was his league.”

Johnny Mims, Executive Director of the Mississippi Association of Coaches (MAC), stated that documents received from MAC by the St. Petersburg Times were unofficial and that the MAC could not document the information because the coaching took place outside of Mississippi.

Well if you tell me you are a licensed clinician or a psychiatrist I might take your concern to heart...but I imagine you are nothing more than some internet hack himself who gets his kicks posting on this site from some remote region of Alligator,MS with nothing better to do with his time. Take care sonnyboy.

You only use sonnyboy on your redneckboy name. This name is usually just boy. It must be so hard keeping up with what personality goes with which name.

It must suck to be a liar your whole life and then have it outed in the media.

Yaaawwwnnnn.I think the moral of that story YumeMan is if you are going to hack somebody because you are a little egomaniac with a powerful grudge then never leave a paper trail of truth buried deep in the outer stratosphere of the web,especially when you wrote it to begin with. Of course much can be said for not irritating and calling out said person who can initiate said hack job. Understand?

LOL at this guy having to use mulitple names to back himself up and still getting embarrassed. Must be lonely at the bottom!
