ESPN’s Jay Mariotti Arrested On Felony Charge

Last night, outspoken ESPN talking head Jay Mariotti was arrested and booked on a felony domestic violence charge. Police officials would not provide further details. Mariotti is being held on $50,000 dollars bail.
Allegedly Mariotti got into an altercation with his girlfriend at a club in Santa Monica, then continued fighting with her until they arrived at his apartment in Venice. Some kind of physical altercation occurred at the apartment, the police were called, Mariotti was arrested and he is now being held at the 77th Street station in South Central Los Angeles.
It’s odd that Mariotti is being held at one of Los Angeles most notorious police station’s. The alleged altercation occurred in Venice, the Pacific Police Station’s community.
Jay Mariotti can be described as a “holier than thou” media type, vigilantly criticizing professional athletes who run afoul of the law. He has relentlessly attacked Tiger Woods in several columns, and is consistently preaching about morality and ethics from his soapbox at ESPN…..
Locked Up: Nenad Krstic Released After Basketbrawl

During yesterday’s Greece vs Serbia basketbrawl, Serbian Center Nenad Krstic pulled a punk move, attacking Greek Center Sofo Schortsanitis from behind and throwing a chair that connected with a Greek players head. Last night he slept in a Greek jail and was released from police custody today.
It was an incredibly ugly scene and Nenad Krstic gavel punched Sofo in the head several times, kicking him as he came to the aid of a teammate. Krstic didn’t act alone, and there were several players involved in the fracas. Teodosic, Fotsis, Tsartasris, Keselj andVelickovic all should get suspensions for their role in the melee.
Having played with and been coached by Serbians, I know they are tough guys, who grew up in tough, unstable political and military conditions. They are a hardened bunch, that have earned international street cred. But this reputation is becoming problematic for both Serbia and FIBA.
A few years ago Darko Milic had a legendary, profanity-laden outburst directed at the officials at the end of an international match. Riots and disturbances are frequent at Serbian Pro basketball games, and this summer there incidents at the Adidas Euro-camp involving Serbian players.
What makes this incident worse, is the apparent lack of contrition shown by Krstic and Serbia’s legendary national team coach, Dusan Ivkovic. Though Ivkovic sounded somewhat remorseful, Krstic sounded belligerent and unapologetic….
Locked Up: Haslem Arrested For Weed Possession

Longtime Heat forward and proverbial “Florida boy” Udonis Haslem was arrested for drug possession Sunday in Miami, after the feddy pulled him over and found a little under an ounce of some fire (and desire) inside his car.. If you’ve ever took a gander at Haslem’s lips then you probably recognized that he was a smoker, because they are blacker than the back of Forrest Whitaker’s neck.
What’s also interesting is that Haslem was riding with an unnamed passenger, who was also arrested for marijuana possession. Usually in those situations the little fish tries to protect the interests on the big fish (except for Michael Vick) and take the entire charge, which is a 3rd-degree felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison (but not likely). Shhheeeeeeiiitttttt!
One of the Heat’s X-factor role players to surround the Miami 316, Haslem is likely going to face punishment from the both the League and the organization. Worse case he will miss a few games, break a little bread, do some community service and have to holler the NBA Drug Program (if he isn’t already).
Sadly, this means no more greenery for Haslem for the foreseeable future. But on the bright side, at least you know for a fact he will always have at least 5 on it when he does get back in the sack.

Kings guard and last season’s NBA Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans missed out on a chance to represent Team USA at the World Championships in Turkey later this month for what many believe was due to a reckless driving charge he copped during Memorial Day Weekend in the Bay Area.
Evans and a wiggerish-looking passenger were pulled over at gunpoint after a Police plane caught the former #1 pick, riding clean in a purple benz (aka “That OG Special”), racing another car on Interstate 80. Both cars were clocked at speeds ranging between 120-130 mph at various points during the race as the plane monitored all the action from above and eventually led ground units to apprehend Evans.
Evans pled “No Contest” to the charge of reckless driving and as a result had his licensed suspended for 30 days and was given 80 hours of community service. Hopefully playing for the Kings will be enough to fulfill the community service portion of his punishment, because that’s a job that nobody really wants.

Maurice Clarett Returns To Ohio State

(Guess that thing about the SI Cover jinx is pretty legit.)
Maurice Clarett is a maligned yet significant figure in NCAA and NFL history. The 2005 third-round pick of the Broncos, starred as a freshman at Ohio State and then sued the NFL to gain early entry into the league. Clarett lost his case and failed miserably in his only opportunity to make the team. He was later imprisoned on robbery and gun charges, and spent 3 years of his life behind bars.
Now 26, Clarett will never play football again but he is a star player in the game of life. Clarett has re-enrolled at The Ohio State University, and is working on his degree. Kudos to a young man that became notorious for “getting his goose on” (drinking large quantities of grey goose vodka) during his playing days.
Now Clarett is trying get his graduation on, hopefully he has a few girls from back in the day still lingering around campus ready to provide quality knowledge. Clarett might be able to give them some brain in return, but he’d probably just like to be on the receiving end.
Shaun Rogers Drops Dime On Drunk Driver In Ohio

Browns defensive tackle Shaun “Big Baby” Rogers is getting major love from the PoPo after calling in a blatantly drunk driver a few nights ago. Rogers spotted some square driving swerving like Tommy Boy and proceeded to tail the dude while alerting the cops.
Rogers’ decision may have saved lives, including the drunk driver, but my momma always told me that “nobody likes a snitch,” and according to fellow Cleveland area resident (but not for long?) Delonte West, “snitches get stitches.” Rogers situation doesn’t fall into the normal criteria of snitching.
Even though he is no stranger to legal trouble (dude brought a heater to the airport), Rogers decision to do the community a solid should pay off in the near and short future. Anybody that can’t handle their liquor, deserves to get a DUI. Some people can drive drunk, some people can’t
Rogers’ good deed should at least be worth a “Get Out Of A Suspension Free” card from the Commish. That’s about as realistic as some oceanfront property in AZ.

JaMarcus Russell Pleads Not Guilty To Syrup Sipping

Former Raiders #1 overall pick and LSU Legend JaMarcus Russell was in an Alabama courthouse Tuesday, pleading not guilty to a drug case he copped over allegedly possessing codeine syrup without a prescription. Russell was arrested at his Alabama home back on July 5 with the preferred drug of the chopped & screwed movement, as apart of an undercover sting.
At only 24 years old, Russell has reached rock bottom in his career, recently pondering a trip to the UFL. Russell is still a beast and with the proper training and motivation, could actually end up resurrecting his career and avoiding the distinction as the “Biggest Bust in NFL History.”
But after signing the sick contract he held out for back in 2007, Russell definitely won’t be the brokest. Ain’t nothing wrong with that. Russell’s scheduled to appear in court again on August 11 for a preliminary hearing, and regardless of a the outcome a meeting with Commissioner Goodell and some sort of punishment would preclude any return to the field for a NFL franchise.
Ghettooh: Marvin Harrison Gets Caught Ridin’ Dirty

It’s always the the quiet ones that you have to worry about. After a season spent not dominating younger opponents due to making the block hotter than July, former Colts star Marvin Harrison was caught riding with a gun in his car after being pulled over for a traffic stop. Allegedly Harrison was spotted driving the wrong way down a one-way street in the same Philly neighborhood where he was accused of trying to murk a dude just a few years ago.
The officer that pulled Harrison over claimed to see him try and hide the heater in his Escalade and proceeded to search the vehicle and recover the weapon, which was registered. Harrison was questioned at the scene but was allowed to bounce from the scene, which apparently means it wasn’t that big of a deal. Harrison is a certified OG in North Philly, holding the streets down comparable to a Marlo type, whilst also embarking on a hall of fame football career as a side hustle.
