... Warning: depressing news ahead. Peter Vescey at the New York Post is reporting this morning that former Sixers and Nets' forward Derrick Coleman is in urgent need of a heart transplant.

According to Peter Vecsey, Derrick Coleman needs a heart transplant. According to Derrick Coleman, thats a bunch of BS.

"I don't know how this stuff gets started. I appreciate the love, but please tell everybody that I am fine."

In Saturday’s print edition, Vecsey quoted comments to the contrary from Coleman’s wife, Gina, but failed to note which Post reporter was responsible for the intial claim. Said error, as you might expect, has resulted in no small amount of ridicule for Vecsey, along with the following report by the Detroit News’ Terry Foster : “Do I sound like I need a heart transplant,” Coleman said Friday “I don’t know how this stuff ...
