Doc Gooden called into the Scott Van Pelt radio show today, but since it is also simulcast on ESPN2, they needed a suitable head shot to show viewers. Or failing that, a police mugshot with a suit painted over it. More »

Doc Gooden has landed in Newark (and no, not to score blow). As the Newark Bears' new Senior VP/community ambassador, he'll be mentoring area kids, presumably on how not to wind up like Doc Gooden. More »

He will also "have to" do 100 hours of community service of speaking to schools and Little Leaguers, after which he will almost assuredly ask the kids where he can get some blow. He also got probation and anger management classes for a domestic violence incident from a while back too. More »
