    NEWNAN, Ga. -- The personal doctor to a professional wrestler who killed himself, his wife and their 7-year-old son was sentenced to 10 years in prison for illegally distributing prescription drugs to patients.

     

    Dr. Phil Astin, 54, was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty Jan. 29 to 175 counts that including illegally distributing prescription drugs.

     

    World Wrestling Entertainment's Chris Benoit killed his family and then himself in 2007 in their suburban Atlanta home. A medical examiner couldn't say whether the steroids Astin prescribed for Benoit played a role in the deaths.

     

    U.S. District Judge Jack Camp said there was no doubt the 54-year-old Astin tried to help hundreds of patients at his western Georgia clinic. But the judge said he could not overlook the fact that two patients died as a result of Astin's misconduct.

     

    Astin pleaded guilty in January to a 175-count federal indictment. He also admitted that prescriptions he issued resulted in the overdose death of a female patient in 2007.

     

     


  2. Did anyone else catch MLB Tonight on the MLB network last night? It's miles ahead of Baseball Tonight, and that whole network is better then what ESPN has for baseball coverage.

     

    And I know it was only one game, but I'm sure the Yankees are happy with all of the money they spent, with what they got out of CC and Tex yesterday . . . :P


  3. It'd be cool if they did it right. Austin only got thrown off the bridge because, IIRC, Austin threw Rock's belt off a bridge and when Rock tried to reciprocate, Austin arrived and got tossed off the bridge in the process.

     

    Plus they replayed the angle during the Invasion with Austin tossing Kurt Angle into a kiddie pool on a bridge to laugh at him for thinking Austin was going to chuck him off the bridge.

     

    IIRC, it was the other way around, with Angle throwing Austin into the kiddie pool.
