Gator Chomp: Drunken Florida Chick Gets Bitey, Is Thrown In Hoosegow
Meet Veronica Hairston, frequent motel guest and passionate Florida Gators fan. Yep, that's a temporary Gators tattoo on her cheek there.

Well, They're Back To Square One With The Old Folks Home Flasher Case
Former sprint champion Mark Walcott was cleared on Thursday of charges that he exposed himself five times at two old folks homes in Britain, but at what cost?

Did MMA Fighter Lloyd Irvin Really Thwart A Home Invasion Robbery?
A world champion athlete and his family are taken hostage in their own home by gun-toting robbers, one of whom demands cash and valuables.

Hey, I'm Here For The O.J. Aquittal Party. Hello? Anyone Here?
O.J. Simpson was so sure of being found not guilty in his Nevada robbery and kidnap trial that he had planned an acquittal party, said a Las Vegas detective in a radio interview on Saturday. (Funny how my invitation seems to have gotten lost). Also, Simpson liked Vegas so much that he was considerin...

Details In Travis Henry Drug Bust Emerge; Will Soon Become A Martin Scorcese Movie
Below is the arrest affidavit on the Travis Henry drug bust from Wednesday, and it's fascinating reading, or at least as good as a typical episode of The Wire. All the requisite elements for a compelling cop drama are there, including a snitch, a sting operation, a drug ripoff, and Henry himself thr...
We Knew This Might Happen When Tom Brady Went Out For The Season
Don't tell Mr. Iracane I said this, but there are times when someone is interested in your fantasy team. Case in point: This somewhat hilarious case from Florida, where murder nearly resulted from a spat over a handful of fantasy football points. "Only one point for a 50-yard field goal? I cut you!"...
Ex-Bronco Travis Henry's New Career Not Working Out So Well
It's safe to say that Travis Henry's last year or so has been a little rough. Signed by the Denver Broncos before the 2007 season, the former Bills and Titans running back immediately failed a drug test (which he challenged and won), then put up an mediocre 691 yards rushing in 12 games, before bein...
Old People, Keeping The Streets Of London Safe
Now we know where Simeon Williamson — Britain's best hope for a medal in the 100-meter dash now that Dwain Chambers has been banned for doping — got his speed. His grandmother, 78-year-old Pearline Williamson, ran down a mugger in North London after her purse was snatched....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while coming to grips with a gay Dumbledore... • 8 p.m. — MLB: ALCS, Game 6: Cleveland Indians at Boston Red Sox. Curt Schilling was last seen asking Harvey Firestein for a Josh Beckett mask. [FOX] • 8 p.m. — College football: Michigan at Illinois. Maybe if the Illini weren't always fi...
Cow Tipping In Madison Is Absolutely Unacceptable
Sometimes, considering our own background, we have a hard time understanding some of these newfangled athlete malfeasances. This "Making It Rain" ... that didn't come up much in Mattoon (though the crops sure could have used it!)...
Carlos Zambrano Needs A Time Out
When you're 8 games below .500, the least you could do is try to be lovable. But the Cubs, 7.5 games out in the pathetic NL Central, can't even manage that....
Bengal Arrested ... Blah Blah Blah
I would've gotten to this sooner, but I thought it was probably a good idea to wait a few hours, see if any other Bengals got arrested, and then combine them into one post. Alas, they put together an unprecedented 12-hour streak of good behavior....
Putting The 'Montana' Back In Tony Montana
When a college football team and a drug cartel are linked, quick, what school might you suspect it would be? Correct, it is the U of M, but it's not that one....
Bengal Watch
I hope you enjoyed the 48-hour period in which a "FREE CHRIS HENRY" t-shirt was appropriate. Save them, though, you never know when they'll be relevant again. The "troubled" wide receiver was released from prison on Saturday morning after a two-day stretch, slid out a side entrance, and hopped in a ...
Dodgers Release Crack Smuggling Minor Leaguer
Kengshill Scheider Pujols is a minor league pitcher with the Vero Beach Dodgers, and the man stuffed 118 bags of crack cocaine into his underwear. The unfortunate thing about it is that he didn't even wait for "Stuff Bags of Crack-Cocaine in Your Underwear" night at Vero Beach, and almost certainly ...
It's A Nice Week To Be Zach Randolph's Lawyer
Zach Randolph's being sued... again. This time by Portland resident Robert Bacote, who accuses Randolph and Qyntel Woods of assaulting and harassing him because they believed he was the guy who alerted authorities to Qyntel Woods' charming dogfighting hobby....

Don't Worry, The Lojack Will Not Affect His 40 Time
Interesting story in yesterday's Washington Post about a high school football player in Maryland. The young fellow's name is Pat Lazear, and there's a lot on his resume: 6'2", 225, 4.6 seconds in the 40, he starts at linebacker, running back, and punter, and oh yeah, he's facing armed robbery charge...
