No! That Glove Goes On The Other Hand, Son.

Here are three more reasons why more and more parents decide to put their 3-12 year-olds through emotional hell.

Self-Proclaimed Gangster

Since Portland Trail'gangsta' Zach Randolph likes to see himself as, not a professional basketball player, but a criminal, we will cater to his wants by posting a rather detailed description of some rape allegations.

Any other law-abiding athlete, and we would file this news until it works itself out in court. But for Zachary M. Randolph, I'm sure he would not have a problem further soiling the NBA with his reputation.

For review - here's some of the gangster's resume:

Sucker-punched Ruben Patterson in the face - this actually was a positive.

Under-age drinking.

Driving under the influence of marijuana.

Present during a shooting, which put his brother in prison. He was threatened with arrest after his first statement to police, then changed to a backup statement and was not charged.

Two vehicles registered to Randolph were involved in a race in a 20 mph zone. The car Randolph was in had two loaded (registered) weapons under the seat.

This sexual assault criminal case was thrown out of court earlier in the year, but now Jane Doe, obviously not the sharpest knife in the drawer, is going civil.

A great piece on this in on the premier NBA Blog True Hoop.

Zap!

Fred Weary is another NFLer who ended up on the business end of one of these.

This Week's Whiner - There He Blows

Hard to believe it took Randy Moss (#28 on the Ingrate 38) this long to spout something so completely selfish and insulting toward his team and Raider fans in particular.

And about this 2002 mug shot - Could a blood test have been in order, because it appears a couple drops of Clear Eyes was?

Bird Is The Word

"Hello Commissioner Goodell, my name is Leon. Please drug test me every day."

Signs of the Future? - Hilarious and Prophetic (if this card is real). Thanks to popjocks.com for this one.

Over The Limit

Kalif Barnes is this month's Jacksonville Jaguar who should get a bus ticket.
October we had Bobby McCray.
September was the most uncooperative Brian Williams.

#40

Pat Tillman will be honored on Sunday. Simeon Rice and Bryan Barker don't give a damn.

SI Joins Lewis' Flock

It looks as if Sports Illustrated is going after a readership who worship professional athletes who impede murder investigations. In getting the Cliffs Notes from www.withleather.com, this must be the most righteous cut from the article.
After Baltimore's season-opening win at Tampa Bay this season, three of Lewis's sons were standing outside the Ravens' locker room, their dad's name and number on their backs. A woman walked up to their mother and, speaking just above their heads, hissed, "I can't believe you let your kids wear that murderer's jersey."
Lewis' criminal escapedes are summarized in more detail as a member of the Ingrate 38, chiming in at #12.

Thomas Takes Preemptive Strike...and Misses

Wizards F/C Etan Thomas has been outspoken against the war in Iraq. But he is obviously not against violence. Though he probably should be.

Presenting The Winner Of This Week's T.O. Whiner Award

Why this guy joins T.O. as players who will never win a title without a team that will pound them into submission whenever they open their mouth.

What? Culpability?

Reliever Guillermo Mota did something more rare in baseball than an unassisted triple-play. He admitted to cheating and apologized.

Woman Keeps The Loogie In Question

Too bad for Pacman - his spitting victim retained the evidence. The over/under on how many people will try to bait this delinquent each time he enters a club is now at 5.
