Donté Greene Saves Lives. Literally.

PrintSitting in the drive-thru this evening, I popped over to KHTK. Grant Napear was interviewing Donté Greene. Apparently, Donté and some friends were on the river yesterday like so many Sacramentans. One of Donté's friends fell in the drink ... and panicked. She couldn't swim.
If you know Doratio Kane, you know what happened next.
Donté jumped in the river and saved his friend. The current was so strong, Napear reported, that Donté and his friend climbed aboard another boat, which happened to be piloted by a friend of Napear's. The Friend of Peaches, duly impressed, passed on the story, and Sportsline had Greene on for a second.
Doratio isn't making a big deal of it -- that's not his style -- but he did mention it in a tweet after his interview.
So I was at the river yesterday and a friend of mine fell in da water and she can't swim. So I jumped in and saved her.
You're the man, Doratio. (And big ups to anyone else out there who saved a life this weekend.)

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
I saved a life this weekend
by drinking most of the tequila at a friend’s grad party, thus preventing any weaker livers from being destroyed

If it was the american river
thats ballsy, because you sacramentans die in that river all the time.
You don’t know the ins and outs like the foothillers.
well, its honestly not...
but there are parts of the river with a strong current and rocks that can suck people under, and they can drown
It’s already happened 3 times just this spring/summer, which is a little high, usually there are about 3 deaths a year, not 3 at the start of summer. but who knows, it might be a completely different place.
It's pretty deadly
Now is a bad time, too, with the snow run-off making the water colder than it will be later. People freak out in cold water.
The real question is
what kind of idiot goes rafting without a life jacket when they can’t swim.
Ball movement ... is like jogging for most people: They do it occasionally, and it makes them happy. Then they go back to not doing it. - Henry Abbott

Cut her some slack.

Just listened to the actual interview
And I think Peaches said “my friend” about every sentence.
