BREAKING: Pac-Man Jones Arrested... Again...

Adam "Pacman" Jones

Just when you thought he was done with legal issues, Adam "Pacman" Jones is back and in trouble yet again.

The troubled cornerback, currently playing for the Cincinnati Bengals (once lockout is lifted), was arrested early Sunday morning after a scuffle at a Cincinnati Bar called The Scene. Cincinnati Police say Jones was unruly and aggressive and had to be restrained, he's currently being held (as of 8am) in jail and charged with Disorderly conduct.

Since the incident happened around 3 a.m. and the Bengals are unable to comment on the problems of one of their players, the only comment is going to come from Jones himself. We are somewhat skeptical he'll be talkative to local reporters upon his release.

It will be interesting to see, once things are settled, how both the Bengals and the league, particularly Commissioner Roger Goodell, who has had to discipline Jones before reacts to this latest news.

DEVELOPING: Would The Padres Get Their First Ever No-Hitter...???

Through the first eight-and-a-half innings of the Padres-Dodgers game, only the Padres Cameron Maybin had the only base hit... for either team...

The Dodgers group of De La Rosa, Guerrier, McDougal, and Hawksworth kept the visitors off the bases while the Padres group of Harang, Spence, Qualls, and Adams kept the Dodgers doing the same- minus the one hit...

Luke Gregerson pitched the ninth for the San Diegans facing Matt Kemp for a three-pitch strikeout. James Loney was batter two. Loney fought off a few pitches before grounding out to first and Anthony Rizzo for out number two.

That brought up Juan Uribe... hitting .205 on the year leading into the at bat. Uribe would hit a two-out double off the wall for the end of that idea over the head of Chris Denorfia...

So, the answer is: "No..."

Dioner Navarro got the game-winning single... even after trying to avoid his team and their attempted tackling of him after the run scores...

Who's Your Papi...??? Ask The O's Kevin Gregg

((HT: MLB/NESN/youtube))

This is what we needed to get the mid-season break going in Major League Baseball- a nice bench-clearing brawl...

Friday night had the Red Sox and Orioles...

David Ortiz never backed down as a batter, and Kevin Gregg never backed down as a closer... and it happened again... with the two of them facing another...

Here's the at-bat... and both times that Ortiz went after Gregg...


"I don't feel proud of a situation like that, but I'm the kind of person that don't like being pushed, you know what I'm saying? I feel like I was pushed last night to do something like that," said Ortiz. "Everybody has a button, and once it gets touched, it changes your mind in a second. So, I guess that was my time."

Gregg was mad that Ortiz, in his mind, took his time when the teams knew it was an out to short right... Ortiz was just, you know, taking his time...

Interesting to see if we get a sequel any time soon...

Hines Ward arrested for DWI in Atlanta

Pittsburgh Steeler star wide receiver Hines Ward was arrested early Saturday morning for driving while impaired.

I think all Steelers should stay out of Georgia...right, Ben Roethlisberger?

Information is sketchy as far as where Ward was partying last night, but he was booked in the DeKalb County Jail at 3:41am. He was released a short time later after posting a $1,300 bond.

When contacted this morning, DeKalb County Sheriff's Office would not release any more information about Ward's arrest, saying all the paperwork had been turned over to the courthouse.

All this on the heels of being the second football player to win "Dancing with the Stars," following in Emmitt Smith's footsteps.

More later...

DEVELOPING: UGA's Caleb King Ineligible

And if this doesn't mean that Isaiah Crowell will get the first hand-off of the 2011 season, the HQ doesn't know what will...

Caleb King is academically ineligible for the 2011 season.

Commence the appropriate amount of laughter and finger-pointing...

And, remember, Washaun Ealey, who led Georgia in rushing last season, left school in May after two suspensions for discipline issues. He's now over at Jacksonville State.

King was suspended for two games last season after failing to appear in court on a speeding ticket violation, and he missed the Liberty Bowl because of academics. He rushed for 430 yards and 2TD's on 80 carries last season.

Richt says King's "unfortunate" situation provides opportunities "for others to step up."

If the HQ could classify "busts," Caleb King would certainly apply...

More when we know more...

This is what Georgia fans wished they had more of if only King would have kept his head screwed on straight...

Apologies to TBH, but these were the only highlights we could find...

Americans Losing Pace At TdF Stage 7

((HT: Tour de France/TV2/youtube))

RadioShack rider Chris Horner lost consciousness after a crash 36 kilometers into today's 7th Stage, and American teammate Levi Leipheimer lost more than three minutes during the run that seemed to have more crashes than excitement.

Team manager Johan Bruyneel says Horner will go to a hospital for tests and is unlikely to continue the tour.

Leipheimer now says that he will work for teammate Andreas Kloeden, who is fifth in the overall- 10 seconds behind leader Thor Hushovd.

Here's the Bradley Wiggins crash that took out Horner...


Oh...

Mark Cavendish won the stage- for those of you who picked against him in the STFC

BREAKING: tOSU Offers To Vacate 2010 Wins

((HT: WBNS-TV Columbus))

Ohio State University officials announced a self-imposed penalty to the NCAA of vacating wins from the 2010 football season, including the Sugar Bowl win over Arkansas, as a penalty for Tattoo-Gate...

The university submitted its response to the NCAA on Friday and it was also announced that former head coach Jim Tressel would appear in front of the committee...

Here's our friends at 10TV with Paul Aker in the newsroom...


The two years probation and the Vest's status going from "resigned" to "retired" are pretty funny if you ask the HQ...

The Columbus Dispatch's Randy Ludlow writes that there are two things missing- the post-season ban and the reduction of schollies...

The fact that the school thinks that no one else should be punished because only Tressel knew of the infractions is laughable at best...

From Ludlow and the response...
"The responsibility is upon Tressel. No other institutional personnel were aware" of the violations, and the former coach failed in his obligation to report them, the response says. "The institution is embarrassed by the actions of Tressel."

Sure... more when we know more...

And, while we're at it, here's NBC4's interview with AD Gene Smith...
