Normally, when we write about an athlete being arrested, our tone is some combination of mocking him for his stupidity, and taking him to task for his incredibly poor judgment. Sometimes it can even be a bit rote, a sports police blotter version of a Mad Lib. But don’t expect that in this story about […]

I confess my St. Patrick’s Day was rather uneventful this year. I made the unfortunate decision to hang out with a couple of young ladies who, though lovely, prevented me from testing my “drinkability” acumen with the usual band of random burnouts here on Venice Beach.

It’s a popular saying (or warning) that you don’t mess with Texas. And it also seems that you don’t mess with a Dallas Cowboys fan, or more importantly, his car flag - unless you’re cruising for a bruising.

NBA fans probably remember Cliff Robinson (know later in his career as Clifford), who played 18 years in the league for five teams before retiring after the 2006-07 season.

It is a strange but well-established fact that sports fans will collect just about any kind of memorabilia if they think it relates to a favorite team or player. When Philadelphia’s Veterans Stadium was mothballed in 2004, over $700,000 worth of dirty, sticky stadium fixtures were snapped up by Phillies and Eagles fans, including such […]

There’s really no other way to put this that wouldn’t grab your attention, so I’ll just say it matter-of-factly: A high school cheerleading coach was fired after it was discovered she posed nude for Playboy.

WITH LEATHER uncovers the story from Sacramento’s CBS 13 of Carlie Christine, cheerleading coach of Casa Roble High School. Um, make […]

Back in 2005, the Missouri football team lost a freshman defensive end named Aaron O’Neal, who collapsed during a summer workout and died shortly thereafter. Only last month, nearly four years later, did the University of Missouri settle a lawsuit with O’Neal’s family, which awarded them $2 million.
