Where have you gone Neil Fingleton?

The answer to our seemingly perpetual question: Vegas, bay-bee, Vegas.

That is right, our cult hero/basketball vagabond is apparently back in the states to take another shot with the fledgling American Basketball Association, this time as a part of something called the Las Vegas Venom.

When last spotted, Fingleton, a one-time Mickey D's All American who spent a year on the far end of Ralph Willard's bench at Holy Cross after failing to excite folks at North Carolina, was playing for a bad British third division club after having failed in an attempt to latch on with the Austin Toros of the NBA Development League.

This will be Fingleton's second go-round with the ABA. He appeared in six games with the Boston Frenzy in the 2004-05 season, averaging 3.6 points and 2.4 rebounds.

The same guy who owned that Boston team owns the new Vegas team. He made Fingleton the Venom's first signing.
