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 [...]
Any time you lose a big game it hurts. Especially when you lose a very winnable NFC Championship game like the San Francisco 49ers did last Sunday to the New York Giants. And when dealing with that frustration, there are a variety of different ways that people choose to cope. For 49ers rookie Aldon Smith, [...]
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 [...]
Edmonton Oilers goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin got himself into a little bit of trouble back in February 2010 in Arizona. There was a bit of an issue when he decided to have a little drinky drink and then get behind the wheel of a car. He was charged with extreme driving under the influence and speed. [...]
On Friday, New York Jets free agent WR (that doesn’t make a ton of sense, does it? If he’s a free agent, he’s not a Jet) pleaded guilty to a DWI charge. He said he was just hoping to put it all behind him. Well now, he may be looking to put his jail time [...]
According to TMZ, Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward had a little too much to drink last night before deciding to get behind the wheel of a car. The “Dancing with the Stars” champion was busted down in Georgia early Saturday morning on DUI charges. There really aren’t too many details available right now. Although, we [...]
With all the injuries to their linebacking core last year, the San Diego Chargers had to rely on Antwan Applewhite for help. The restricted free agent had three sacks and two forced fumbles, and the Chargers were probably hoping to bring him back. What they weren’t hoping for was for him to get arrested. But [...]
By now, we all heard about the arrest of Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera on DUI charges. But, now more details are emerging and it looks worse and worse for Cabrera. According to the police report released Wednesday, Cabrera told the arresting police officers to shoot him. When they tried to cuff him, he reportedly [...]
Shelton Quarles spent his entire 10-year career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a linebacker. At 39-years old, he’s now a member of their scouting department. And for the last several hours or so, he’s been a member of a jail cell. Quarles was arrested around 2:30 AM Friday morning in Tampa on DUI charges. [...]
Remember when Austin Kearns was supposed to be good? Yeah, we don’t either. It was like 2002 when he was with Cincinnati. Now at 30-years old, he’s expected to be a part-time left fielder for the Cleveland Indians. Luckily, they don’t have enough talent to cut someone who screws up with the law, because that’s [...]
You know how we hear these DUI stories about athletes and celebrities who get arrested when they weren’t really doing anything terribly wrong and they blew a 0.08 or something close to the legal limit? This isn’t one of those stories. Detroit Tigers 1B Miguel Cabrera was arrested at 11 PM on Wednesday in Lakeland, [...]
The NFL season is over, and with many expecting a lockout come March 4th, there are some who are essentially saying “fuck it” ahead of time. Why stay at home on a Friday night and study your playbook or workout when we don’t know when football will be back? Just ask Oakland Raiders RB Michael [...]
Former New York Yankee Jim Leyritz is most likely a very, very happy man. Facing up to 15 years in prison for charges of DUI Manslaughter in Florida, Leyritz seems to have dodged a Randy Johnson fastball to the head. A jury found that, despite being intoxicated while driving a vehicle that struck and killed [...]
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Williams had a little incident with the drinky drink early Friday morning down in Florida. It seems that he was arrested on suspicion of DUI and taken into custody. He had a blood-alcohol concentration of between 0.065 and 0.061. But…isn’t the legal limit 0.08? It is, but he was [...]
Things just couldn’t be better for the Denver Broncos. They have a great head coach that has led them to a hot 2-6 start. They traded up to draft a QB that excels at short yardage. And now, their star LB has been arrested for DUI…again. Denver police arrested D.J. Williams early this morning on [...]
The wide receivers at Oklahoma State just continue to make their Dean proud. Last year, it was Dez Bryant who slipped in the NFL Draft due to concerns about his character. This year? It’s star Justin Blackmon’s turn. Blackmon impressed everyone on campus Tuesday morning when he was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Carrolton, [...]
The Carolina Panthers probably took the wrong USC wide receiver in the 2007 draft. In New York, Steve Smith has blossomed into a very nice player. The Panthers took the much higher profile Dwayne Jarrett back then, and have been rewarded with nothing but DWI arrests. That’s right, Jarrett got another one. He was arrested [...]
If it’s 5:15 AM and it’s still Monday for you, while it’s Tuesday for everyone else, you are most likely up to no good. In the case of New York Jets WR Braylon Edwards, it meant that he was driving around while intoxicated. And, oh yeah, the police noticed. He was pulled over Tuesday morning [...]
Edmonton Oilers goalie Nikolai Khabibulin was sentenced to 30 days in jail when he decided to drive after pounding some Early Times whiskey. We don’t know for sure that he was drinking Early Times (we sure hope it was), but he definitely had too much of some kind of booze. Khabibulin was found guilty on [...]
San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Ray McDonald had a little issue with the drinky drink this weekend when he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influend in San Mateo County Saturday night. He was released from jail at 9:39pm and is scheduled to appear in court on July 22nd. Apparently, one of the [...]
The Minnesota Timberwolves have suspended forward/center Al Jefferson for two games following his early Sunday morning arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Miami Dolphins CB Will Allen has been arrested for rocking the party via DUI in Miami Beach, according to the Miami Herald. He was stopped by officers and given two breath tests. The first test showed he was more than twice the legal limit of .08 and the second showed .152. As of Saturday afternoon, [...]
Former #2-overall pick of the Detroit Lions in 2003, Charles Rogers has had some issues over the years. Two unfortunate injuries to start the first two years of his career. Then in 2005, he was suspended for four games for his third violation of substance abuse. But he used this rock-bottom point in his life [...]
Denver Nuggets forward Renaldo Balkman was arrested at 4 a.m. Saturday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence. He refused a blood-alcohol test and that pretty much got him a free seat in the back of a squad car. “We are aware of a traffic violation involving Renaldo Balkman early Saturday morning in Tampa. [...]
We get emails all the time complaining that we don’t cover the WNBA enough. And it’s true, we tend to forget to cover the WNBA because we tend to forget that it exists. So sue us (don’t really, please). Well, it seems as though Phoenix Sunnette’s guard (forward? Center?) Diana Taurasi was busy rocking the [...]
