Jalen Rose G Ex-Pacers

As if we didn't hear enough about Jalen Rose right now with his whole 'Fab 5' argument with Coach K, we find out that the ESPN analyst is set to appear in court in April after being cited for suspicion of drunken driving at 2am on March 11 in West Bloomfield Township, MI.

Rose declined to take a Breathalyzer test but submitted to a blood test at the hospital. The roads were icy and the officer believes the icy roads had something to do with Rose's car sliding off the road...oh really? Ya think? Ice may have helped a car SLIDE off the road? That's good, because if your pavement was making cars slide, you might have a problem. Sounds like somebody is trying to help a Michigan favorite evade trouble.

Rose had a solid 13-year career as a shooting specialist and excelled defensively until age started catching up with him and his knees couldn't handle both ends of the floor. He was the first Pacers player to lead the team in scoring in 8 years other than Reggie Miller during the 99-00 season. He led his team to the NBA finals that year but unlike his shorts in Michigan, they landed just a bit short against the Lakers.

Rose's attorney says they look forward to fully working with Michigan authorities in resolving the problem...something tells me they aren't really looking forward to it.

Update: Video and the 911 call from Jalen Rose's arrest have been released HERE.

DeAngelo Casto PF Washington State

DeAngelo Casto follows in the footsteps of Klay Thompson and Reggie Moore to become the third WSU basketball player to be arrested for possession of marijuana in just the first 3 months of 2011.

Police searched his off-campus apartment at around 1:20 AM on Tuesday morning and found the marijuana the led to him being charged with possession of less than 40 grams of marijuana. No other details have been released yet as to why they were searching his apartment in the early morning on Tuesday, but if you ask the Seattle Weekly blog it's race. Yup they just search every black mans apartment, going door to door apologizing to the whites. "Are you Caucasian? Yes? Well I'm sorry to awaken you from your slumber! Do you happen to know where any African-American's are staying? We'd like to search their apartments for drugs" That's probably not how this all happened, because you know, there is laws and rights and shit. But think what you want Keegan Hamilton, you brilliant writer you.

Three WSU football players have been arrested for marijuana possession since October 2010 as well, and GASP, they're African American. Come on Keegan, spark up this race war! Stir up the masses!

Bryan McCann CB Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys CB Bryan McCann becomes the second player arrested since the decertification of the NFLPA and the subsequent lockout of the NFL players, which means he's the second player to be arrested that won't face any kind of consequence from the league or the team. McCann was arrested at around 3:00 AM for public intoxication, though no details of the arrest have been released yet. McCann said that he is innocent until proven guilty and that he was going to fight this charge because he "wasn't intoxicated". I don't know about the laws in Dallas, Texas but where I'm from they usually don't arrest sober people, take them to detox, and make them sit there for 8 hours.  I'm going to go ahead and assume that McCann wasn't just "intoxicated" he was probably drunk off his fucking ass. Of course, in Texas it's illegal to take more than 3 sips of beer at a time while standing, so maybe that's just the case.

Bruce Pearl HC Tennessee

Tennessee got their asses handed to them by #8 seed Michigan in the first round of the big dance, losing 75-45 and being outscored by 42-16 over the last 20 minutes. Add that to the fact that Bruce Pearl was suspended over the first 8 SEC games this year due to NCAA violations you can pretty much say his future at UT is up in the air. Pearl, the president of the Jewish Coaches Association, has also never been past the Elite 8 in the big dance, and only won the DII championship once at the University of Southern Indiana. Sounds like a winner to me.

Bryson Smith CF Florida

Bryson Smith, who hit the game winning RBI against the University of Miami, was arrested for DUI early Monday morning. Smith, who rotates in and out of CF, was seen making wide turns and drifting into a curb by police and was pulled over at around 1:00 AM. According to the police report, Smith had bloodshot and glassy eyes, swayed while standing,  and performed very poorly on field sobriety tests. The report also stated that Smith admitted to having one drink as he was picking up his friends from a bar. Smith refused to take a breathalyzer, but that's fine since they got all the urine they wanted for a urine test because during the observation period he pissed all over himself. That must have been one extremely large drink.

George Karl Coach Denver Nuggets

It seems as if old Georgy Boy has earned himself a nice 3-year contract extension despite the fact that the Nuggets traded away some big names in Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups to rebuild for the near future. It is long believed that Karl was the reason Anthony indirectly demanded that he be traded away from Denver. C'mon George, what are you thinking asking a professional NBA player to rock a little D from time to time. Not baller. Karl is one of 7 coaches in NBA history to have won over 1,000 games and would like to finish his career in the Mile High City. With Danilo Gallinari, the Birdman, and an endless supply of Silver Bullets, how could he go wrong?

Venoy Overton G Washington

Washington standout Venoy Overton has averaged 6 points/game, along with 3.4 assists/game on 21.3 minutes/game has found him self in some deep trouble. More specifically deep in some 16 year old trouble.

Overton has been charged with furnishing alcohol to minors in an incident that happened back in January. Allegedly he purchased alcohol for two 16 year old girls and brought them to his sisters apartment, where they paid for the alcohol with sex. One of the two girls said that she felt like she had to have sex with him because of who he was, and after seeing the other girl do it. Then it "just happened." He wasn't charged with anything regarding that because of conflicting witness statements. The age of consent in Washington is 16, but prosecutors felt the case was troubling because of "situational pressure."

Don't feel bad for Overton, apparently he has enough money to pay the fine. Just look at the images he put on his Myspace/Photobucket, Overton on the right.
