After being caught with marijuana and women in their room, in violation of the program’s no-visitors rules, at the NBA’s rookie transition program, Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur were expelled from the program.

It turns out, NBA Commissioner David Stern was the one who expelled them. Upon finding out about what they did, Stern was enraged.

According to sources, Chalmers and Arthur were caught in Arthur’s room at the Doral Arrowwood resort in Rye Brook when a smoke alarm went off Wednesday at about 2 a.m. Hotel management went to the room, but the players refused to allow them in.

Management then left to get security, which used its own key to enter the room minutes later. Once inside, security found Chalmers, Arthur and at least two women. There was a strong stench of marijuana in the room, and one person was in the bathroom with the door locked, repeatedly flushing the toilet, sources said.

The police were called to the room, which they searched, but neither marijuana nor drug paraphernalia was found. Representatives from the players’ association were also on the scene by that time.

Chalmers and Arthur were allowed to spend the night at the resort and were seemingly planning to attend a kickoff address by Stern later Wednesday morning. But after being told of the violations shortly before beginning his speech, Stern immediately had the players removed from their rooms.

According to several reports, Stern was livid. And that anger was evident. Stern mentioned the 2 players by name, and told the other 67 rookies in attendance that they were thrown out and would be forced to attend the 2009 session. They will also be fined $20,000 and could start the season on the suspended list.

Congratulations to David Stern for taking a stand and throwing out these morons. How hard is it to wait for 4 days anyways to smoke pot and hit it with some pussy? I hope these morons get massive suspensions.

Is this really happening, or is just a dream? Let me pinch myself to find out. OUCH! Oh my! It’s real! I really am seeing Ocho Cinco on Chad Johnson’s jersey.

After legally changing his name to Chad Ocho Cinco, the NFL has finally recognized it, and for all business related to the Cincinnati Bengals and the NFL, Chad Johnson will from now on be referred to as Chad Ocho Cinco, and that includes the name Ocho Cinco on the back of his #85 jersey, starting with this Sunday’s game. I am in complete and utter shock that the NFL would agree to go through this. I’m speechless.

9-year-old Jericho Scott from New Haven, Connecticut is a really good baseball player. In fact, he’s too good that he’s no longer allowed to pitch in his youth baseball league.

The action is all you need to know. This is one of the dumbest, saddest things I have ever seen in my life. So because this kid is so dominant, that no one can beat him, they decide to beat him by banning him? BRILLIANT LOGIC!! Is this where we’re at in society today? Banning someone because he is too good? When someone is gifted like this, isn’t it in everyone’s best interests to further those gifts? What good is this going to do for the kid? What if this kid is a future MLB Superstar, the next Randy Johnson or Greg Maddux or Tommy John or Cy Young or some other 300 game winner, pitching legend? Why are we denying him that chance? What is moving him up and letting him get battered by kids older than him going to do? It will destroy him, scar him for life. What if this was done to Michael Jordan, Brett Favre, Tiger Woods, Michael Phelps, and all the other great sporting legends we have?

Scott’s mom is taking legal action against the league. I fully support her doing so. I hope she kicks their ass and the people who decided to ban this kid are looking at the help wanted ads when she is done with those scumbags. This makes me want to puke

Who knew that pulling yourself up the dugout bench could lead to injury? That sounds like a Cubbie Occurrence. Only it didn’t happen to the Cubs. Just ask Jered Weaver of the LA Angels, and he can tell you all about it

“I went to push to get up and gripped where the staples in the upholstery come together, and it just got me. It sliced me pretty good. It felt like a paper cut, but a lot deeper.”

Thankfully, the cuts Weaver suffered to the tips of his middle and ring fingers will not require stitches, and he won’t be out for an extended period of time, but he will miss his next start. And thankfully the Angels can afford it, as they are running away with the AL West.

Even though this story was posted last week, I saw this headline while I was checking my email, and I found this story a little odd. Apparently, having to urinate in the latrine hole during God Bless America at Yankee Stadium is not allowed, and because of it, Bradford Campeau-Laurion of Queens who was ejected from a Yankees game for having to go is now considering legal action against the Yuckies.

When he tried leaving his seat, the po-po said he had to wait until the song was over.

“I then said to him, ‘I don’t care about God Bless America. I just need to use the bathroom.’ As soon as I said that, he immediately pinned my arm behind my back. He shoved me out the front gate and told me get out of their country if I didn’t like it.”

It turns out that the Yankees do have such a rule, and it is enforced by ushers, stadium security, and the po-po. However, the New York Civil Liberties Union says it’s unconstitutional:

“Because they are enforcing a rule of that imposes political correctness through refusing to let somebody go to bathroom while a patriotic song is playing, that violates Constitutional rights,” said Donna Lieberman, a spokesperson for the NYCLU.

Of course the po-po spun it and painted Campeau-Laurion as the bad guy, saying

“The officers observed a male standing on his seat, cursing, using inappropriate language and acting in a disorderly manner while reeking of alcohol, and decided to eject him rather than subject others to his offensive behavior.”

Right. I believe the po-po. He was drunk, cursing, and acting disorderly. Just like a bunch of other fans do at the game. This is definitely one of those NWA Fuck tha Police moments. Amazing that in the year 2008, in the United States of America, where we have freedom of speech, when duty calls, we can’t answer if we’re at Yankee Stadium and they are playing God Bless America. Note to self: When at Yankee Stadium, don’t urinate during God Bless America, even if it means my bladder will explode. I hope this man sues the pants of the Yuckies and wins.

Who knew such brain farts happened in MLB? Apparently, thanks to Sean Rodriguez’s brain fart, now we know that these things can happen.

With the LA Angels leading the Detroit Tigers 6-0 on their way to a 7-1 win, Angels second baseman Sean Rodriguez struck out on a 4-2 pitch. Apparently, the home-plate umpire had reset the count to 1-2 after the scoreboard read 2-2, which he thought was wrong, when in fact it was correct. Upon the reset, Rodriguez took 2 more balls to run the count full, when he should have walked. He then struck out.

Because the Angels did not catch the mistake, there was no course for appeal, not that LA would have needed to anyways, with them winning 7-1. As Mike Scioscia said, that’s embarrassing. Yes, it is embarrassing. Not only is it embarrassing, but it could be boneheaded. What if that was a tight spot in the playoffs with the game on the line, and this brain fart ended up costing you the game? Losing focus during the game is unacceptable.

“Tell [those Ohio State fans] to worry about [Hurricanes] Gustav and Rita and those kinds of things. Beanie [Wells is] going to be fine.”

Those words courtesy of Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel. That definitely made me feel a lot better about the status of Ohio State running back Beanie Wells, 3 days after seeing him fall to the turf and clutch his foot in obvious pain. Despite the horrific looking nature of the injury, Tressel didn’t rule Wells out of Saturday’s game, saying

“I have the third vote. The first vote is the young person. … Then the medical people have a major vote. How you practice has a little bit to do with it especially as you get into the back end of the week. But when you have a veteran who’s had a lot of snaps and so forth, it’s not quite as critical. I’ll have that third and deciding vote, I guess.”

Wells has been getting daily treatment on his foot according to reports. Before getting injured on Saturday, Wells ran for 111 yards on 13 carries, including a 43-yard TD burst. If Wells doesn’t play on Saturday, redshirt freshman Dan “Boom” Herron, sophomore Brandon Saine and senior Maurice Wells (no relation) would fill in. At this point, I would like to get something off my chest: I would like to say a big FUCK YOU to everyone who says we’re dead meat vs. USC if Beanie is hurt. FUCK THE HATERS

You people said this about us following the 2005 season when we lost 9 starters on defense. Guess what? Our defense was back at the top of the pack once again in 2006. You people said we wouldn’t play in a title game after everyone we lost following the 2006 season. Guess what? We were right back in the national title game. What are you going to say this time if Beanie’s replacements run wild over USC or we win with a passing game? Huh? I hope the haters will insert their feet in their mouths again.

In Chicago in 2004, we had the Mark Prior watch. In Columbus in 2008, we have the Beanie Wells watch.

Two days after Ohio State running back Beanie Wells injured his foot, Beanie did not practice, and continued to wear a protective boot on his foot. Wells has been receiving treatment, but the school had nothing new to say about his injury, except for coach Jim Tressel saying the doctors told him that there are no broken bones and it’s not turf toe.

It’s probable that Ohio State can get by this Saturday against Ohio University, but it’s not so certain the following week vs. USC in a huge showdown. If Wells is out, his replacements would be Brandon Saine, Dan Herron and Maurice Wells (no relation to Beanie). All of them have distinct styles of running the ball and have the ability to spice up the offense, but none of them have shown the game-breaking abilities of Beanie, and they most certainly have not gained 1,600 yards between them, as Beanie did last year
