Delonte West gave an interview to SLAM in which he finally opened up about that time in September 2009 when he was pulled over for negligent driving and cops found a stash of weapons in his three-wheel Can-Am Spyder.

This Is Why You Suck, Lakers Fans
We saw this license plate on Reddit, and we tried to find an alternate explanation. Maybe they thought LeBron would sign with the Lakers. Maybe it's a used car and they got a license plate frame but haven't changed the plate yet. Maybe the guy's name is Louis Bron, and his birthday is February 3rd....
Michael Boley Hugged It Out With The Kid He Nailed In The Face
When Giants linebacker Michael Boley took a failed lateral 65 yards for his first career touchdown, he was so hyped up he was all "GRAARRR I'm gonna throw this ball as hard as I can," and he absolutely smoked a kid in a backpack. It was great TV, not so great for the kid....
Hannah Cornett, The Surfer Grifter, Once Dated Tim Couch

The 2011 MLB Rookie Hazing Costume Collection
Forcing rookies to dress in costume is an MLB tradition that's as childish as it is time-honored. A gloriously dumb reminder that most baseball players are manchildren, forever stuck in high school. We are too; it's a major reason baseball players are perhaps easier to connect with than athletes in ...
