What You Do At Night

Everyone that knows Roy Hughes kept saying this was going to happen sooner or later. Too much illegal activity was going on at his club with his knowledge. I always pull for the underdog so I was hoping they were wrong, but obviously they weren't. He was trying to do some good things in the community for the children and the elderly. He gave away fans last summer and provided music for a couple of youth rallies recently. He was investing in North Memphis and improving his facilities. After the bust he said he was retiring from the club business anyway in August. I don't believe that for a minute. From the looks of things around the club that wasn't the plan just a week ago. Bill Gibbons and Larry Godwin didn't leave him much choice.

The last time I saw him he was wearing a starter jersey and a pair of $200 Air Nikes. He was wearing some Ed Hardy jeans and had diamond studs in both his ears. I knew how much the shoes cost because a young man was wearing the same thing at the barbershop. Needless to say he was more than happy to tell us how much they cost.That might be appropriate for a nineteen year old with a lot of money like "Souljah Boy," But not a 50 plus year old business owner who is being watched by the police. That gives some indication of his mindset. He was still playing a young mans game. This is the major league not the minors. He didn't believe fat meat is greasy. You can fool some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people none of the time. It comes to light what you do at night.
