According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Oakland Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey has gotten himself into a bit of trouble. Specifically, he was charged Thursday with DUI after an incident last month. Heyward-Bey was pulled over around 2 a.m. on April 7 after his 2012 Range Rover was spotted driving erratically. He was given a field [...]
The NFL career of Mikel Leshoure is off to a pretty terrible start. After being selected in the second round of the 2011 NFL draft by the Detroit Lions, he just can’t get things going. He missed all of last year with a torn Achilles tendon and things have just gotten worse. ESPN 96.1 is [...]
Two days ago, former San Diego Chargers QB Ryan Leaf posted bail so that he could walk amongst the free after he was arrested for burglary and drug possession. For Leaf, this was really rock bottom and he has decided to really clean himself up and….wait, what? Yep, it’s two days later and he was [...]
The Miami Dolphins aren’t in great shape these days. They still don’t have a quarterback and you have players out there like Ryan Clark claiming that “no one” wants to go there. That sucks. So, the Dolphins aren’t in position to be dealing with any extra issues. But now, they have to. LB Koa Misi [...]
In 1991, pitcher Brien Taylor was the first-overall pick of the New York Yankees. He had showed some promise in Double-A at one point, but never was able reach his full potential because of a poor life decision. He got into a fight and injured his pitching shoulder, and was never able to pitch the [...]
We hear about – and write about – athletes getting arrested for DUI’s all the time. It happens constantly, but we suppose it’s a little different when your job as an athlete is to, you know, drive. We don’t know exactly what happened, but John Wes Townley was arrested around 4:30 AM Tuesday morning after [...]
We mentioned back in November that, following his ACL tear, Denver Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno was starting to head towards bust status. It’s not just that he gets injured too much to be a reliable bell cow, but he hasn’t shown any flashes of “special” that one would expect to see from the 12th-overall pick [...]
Well isn’t this interesting? If this doesn’t shine even more light on the fact that MLB has no clue what it’s getting from player’s from foreign countries, I don’t know what does. First we had the Leo Nunez fake identity scandal, and now this. You know that pitcher on the Cleveland Indians, Fausto Carmona, that [...]
This wouldn’t be the first time that Chelsea’s John Terry pissed someone off and I can promise it won’t be the last. This time, he’s facing criminal charges over an alleged racist rant directed at QPR’s Anton Ferdinand. “I have today advised the Metropolitan Police Service that John Terry should be prosecuted for a racially [...]
Now things are getting interesting. As if an NFL player getting busted as a major Chicago drug kingpin isn’t interesting enough. Now, a law enforcement source tells 670 The Score in Chicago that police have a list of NFL players who bought drugs from recently arrested Chicago Bears WR Sam Hurd. Oh boy! And the [...]
It’s not rare for an athlete to get caught with drugs. It’s not rare for them to get caught doing drugs. But, having a dimebag of weed in your pocket at a club is not the same as what Chicago Bears WR Sam Hurd is charged with doing. Nope, Hurd has been arrested on federal [...]
Sure, we could have posted about Albert Pujols and the Angels giving him a $254 million contract. But, we saw this story and thought it was far more intriguing. Remember the Miami Marlins closer Leo Nunez who got in trouble for using a fake identity in September? Well, he was arrested in his native Dominican [...]
As you may or may not have heard, Oakland Raiders LB Rolando McClain was involved (allegedly) in a little incident down in Alabama this week. He was arrested after being accused of holding a gun to a dude’s head as the he begged him not to shoot, and then fired the gun just away from [...]
Remember former Arizona Cardinal, Miami Dolphin and San Diego Charger David Boston? He was a first-round pick out of Ohio State and a damn good player for several years. Some speculated that he was a juicer, which would dovetail with him being a beast who eventually couldn’t run a fly pattern without coming out of [...]
Back on October 24th, Terrell Owens held a workout for all 32 NFL teams in which not one of the 32 teams sent so much as an intern. T.O. is recovering from ACL surgery and still wasn’t healthy enough to run a 40-yard dash. Perfect time to hold an audience-less audition. Here’s the problem, on [...]
New England Patriots WR Julian Edelman was always referred to as another Wes Welker, but who wasn’t nearly as good as Wes Welker. For one thing, as far as we know, Welker doesn’t grope women in clubs who don’t want to be groped. According to police reports, Edelman does. Edelman was arrested last night on [...]
Sweet Jesus, no wonder they kept this guy in jail all weekend without bail. It’s funny, when Aaron Rodgers found Greg Jennings all by his lonesome in Sunday’s game for what was a huge joke of a touchdown, no one mentioned that the Vikings were down a starting cornerback and that may have contributed to [...]
Minnesota Vikings CB Chris Cook is up to his old hijinx again. And when we say “hijinx,” we mean “getting arrested.” Back in March, Cook was arrested and then acquitted of charges of brandishing a firearm during a fight. This time? Cook was arrested on two charges of domestic assault and “intentional attempts to inflict [...]
When the Colorado Rockies decided to ship out Ubaldo Jimenez, the centerpiece of their compensation was a young pitcher named Drew Pomeranz. Pomeranz was the fifth-overall pick in the draft in 2010 and is obviously someone the Rockies have high hopes for. So, it doesn’t help when they find out that their young lefty was [...]
With all the focus on the teams competing in the MLB playoffs, we quickly forget about those teams that weren’t good enough at playing baseball to make it to the post season. What do you do to stay busy with no more baseball? Play cards? Read “Facebook for Dummies”? Update your Match.com profile? Get high [...]
Former (or current, we have no idea if the Packers still have his rights) Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Johnny Jolly was suspended by the NFL indefinitely after he was arrested three times on drug charges. And on Saturday, Jolly was arrested for a fourth time…on drug charges. Pretty much the same exact crap. Yep, [...]
Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien is getting the party started early for the NHL’s return to Winnipeg. He’s celebrating by getting hammered on a boat, even though authorities don’t appreciate it. Byfuglien was taken into custody in Minnesota on Wednesday (we’re a little late, sorry) when he refused a field sobriety test. Authorities don’t really [...]
Originally, Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson was planning on serving his jail sentence for his 2010 assault charges during the bye week. It makes sense since the team usually tells its players to get away from football for a week. But, there apparently has been a change of plans. At 11 p.m. Tuesday evening, Benson [...]
Oh what it must be like to be a famous celebrity or athlete who then gets busted for something big. You go from the top of the world to the bottom of some dude’s bunk in his cell. And that’s likely the scenario that former Washington Wizard Javaris Crittenton has found himself in (if he’s [...]
LSU is opening the season as the No. 4 ranked team in the nation. That’s great, right? Well, sure, but it would be a lot better if they knew they’d have their starting quarterback. Jordan Jefferson is turning himself in, along with backup linebacker Joshua Johns, after an arrest warrant was issued. These two apparently [...]
