    Man requests longer prison sentence to match Bird's jersey number

    OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A man got a prison term longer than prosecutors and defense attorneys had agreed to -- all because of Larry Bird.

    The lawyers reached a plea agreement Tuesday for a 30-year term for a man accused of shooting with an intent to kill and robbery. But Eric James Torpy wanted his prison term to match Bird's jersey number 33.

    ``He said if he was going to go down, he was going to go down in Larry Bird's jersey,'' Oklahoma County District Judge Ray Elliott said Wednesday. ``We accommodated his request and he was just as happy as he could be.

    ``I've never seen anything like this in 26 years in the courthouse. But, I know the DA is happy about it.''

    Uhhh... Torpy sounds like the word "torpe", meaning "clumsy" in Spanish.

    It sounds idiotic.. but it's not THAT crazy. I mean 30 or 33.. it's no big difference.

    Seems to me Robert Parrish would have been a better choice.
