Paul Allen accepts the challenge from LMA and Russell Wilson...while in Africa.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Hennepin County authorities have dropped a felony domestic assault charge against free-agent forward Dante Cunningham. Cunningham was charged in April for allegedly choking his then-girlfriend. Hennepin County prosecutor Mike Freeman made the announcement Monday and said there "is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt" that Cunningham committed the crime. Cunningham maintained his innocence throughout the process. He told The Associated Press he is "ecstatic and ready to move forward in life."

It is possible though that this article is just making the same assumption to get page hits. What do you guys think?
