A Bad Way For Your Party To End
On the list of "Things That Are Not Smart To Do," we'd have to say that "Drunkenly Plowing Into Shaquille O'Neal's Wife" has to be pretty high up there. But that's what happened to some poor soul at the Video Music Awards last week, and, perhaps not surprisingly, the dude ended up on the floor in ...
Milton Bradley Repeatedly High-Fives His Wife
You know, it had been so long since a good Athlete Beating His Wife story that we were beginning to wonder what was going on. But we can always count on crazy Dodgers outfielder Milton Bradley to take care of us. Bradley — who is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, allowing the LA m...
Bong Bonged For Bonging Wife
It is a tragic shame that Reds pitcher Jung Bong was arrested last Friday, and it wasn't for a drug-related offense. Nope, Bong took after his old manager Bobby Cox and was busted for strangling his wife, or, rather, causing red marks to appear on her neck....
Robinson Boozes It Up At The Wrong Time. Again
We aren't one to talk about public drunkeness, but we still feel obliged to point out that when former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Koren Robinson decided to show up at his one-day jail sentence for a DUI conviction, well, he probably shouldn't have been drunk. Just a thought. The good news: Bei...

We Can't Imagine What She Might Have Been Upset About
It appears O.J. Simpson spent his Independence Day getting beaten up by his ex-girlfriend. (You read that right: O.J. Simpson has had many girlfriends since 1994. That's a pretty lousy background check, if you ask us.) The woman, Christine Prody (who once told the National Enquirer that OJ confess...
NBA Stars Stand Trail For Beating Up Male Stripper. Yep.
Somewhat underreported around these parts, the trial of NBA players Gary Payton, Sam Cassell and Jason Caffey began yesterday in Toronto....
This Is What You Get For Drafting Someone From Miami

When A Fine Isn't Really A Fine At All
Whenever an athlete does something wrong — skip a practice, get caught with some of that ganja, stab a coach in the face — they end up either be suspended or, more often, having to a pay a fine. Typically, fans scoff at fines; players make so much that a fine is no punishment at all....

Lewis Free To Roam Backfields Again
Our long national nightmare is over: Ravens running back Jamal Lewis is released from prison today. No word yet as to what prison tats Lewis will come out with, or whether he'll have made a very special new best friends named Bunny (or Sarge). He does want to skip his halfway house in Atlanta to h...
That Sound You Hear Is Teri Hatcher's Rapid Footsteps
A couple of weeks ago, word escaped that Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher had hooked up with former Detroit Piston and current Best Damn Sports Show co-host John Salley. Well, we don't expect that relationship to last much longer....

THE Ohio State University
You know you're having a rough week when your kicker is busted for selling weed. Jonathan Skeete, a freshman kicker for Ohio State, was busted late last week for selling a half pound of marijuana to an undercover officer, according to the Ohio State student newspaper, The Lantern (good job, kids!). ...
Nate Newton: Overachiever
We always loved Nate Newton. Frankly, it's impossible not to like the former Cowboys defensive lineman. This is a guy who, in November 2001, was busted for carting 213 pounds of marijuana. He met bond, and six months later, he was arrest for the same offense, this time with a mere 175 pounds. He spe...
