Say cheese: Sports greatest mug shots

31 Dec

Leave it to Charles Barkley to liven up an otherwise slow news day. In celebration of Sir Charles’ stupidity, we have compiled the Top 10 greatest mug shots in the history of sports.

No. 10: MICHAEL IRVIN

10irvin.jpgIn 2005, the former Dallas Cowboy wider receiver was arrested in Texas and charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. The arrest didn’t surprise many, but his reaction did. Who smiles that big after getting arrested? He probably thinks he gets to keep that bright orange shirt to go with the rest of his ridiculous wardrobe.

No. 9: ANDRE THE GIANT

09andre.jpgWrestling legend Andre the Giant was arrested in 1989 for having the world’s worst sideburns. No sir, but after looking at this photo it’s kinda believable. In reality, he was snagged for assaulting a TV cameraman.

No. 8: DON KING

08donking.jpgOK, so these mug shots of the world’s most annoying boxing promoter aren’t that crazy. We were just surprised to see him with an acceptable head of hair. To be honest, we thought he was born with that birds’ nest on his head.

No. 7: DEION SANDERS

07deion.jpgFinally, somebody more excited to get arrested than Michael Irvin. The best part is the reason why he got arrested – no, it wasn’t possession of marijuana (as his eyes suggest). He was arrested to fishing on a lake owned by the Southwest Florida International Airport.

No. 6: JOHN DALY

06daly.jpgAn instant classic – just a few short months ago, the perpetually-drunk golfer was arrested for having a few too many adult beverages at Hooter’s. At least his shirt now matches the waitress’ shorts.

No. 5: SCOTTIE PIPPEN

05pippen.jpgNo, this isn’t Scottie’s ninth grade yearbook photo. It’s the mugshot he took after being arrested in 1999 for drunk driving. If you ask us, it looks like the Houston police department had a few too many pops too. How hard is it to straighten out that sign?

No. 4: RANDY MOSS

04moss.jpgWe’re not 100 percent sure, but we think the footballer got picked up for attacking the man who stole his lips.

No. 3: THE BIG SHOW

03bigshow.jpgIn 1998, the wrestling star known as The Big Show was arrested for exposing his “little show” to a female hotel worker in Memphis. Would it have killed him to open his eyes for the photo?

No. 2: MIKE TYSON

02_tyson06.jpgWith all the arrests on “Iron” Mike’s record you would think he would have the art of the mug shot down pat. Apparently, he doesn’t. After being arrested for drunk driving, drug possession and driving into a cop car, the former boxing great had a little trouble keeping his tongue in his mouth for this shot. Hey, it’s a tough concept.

No. 1: O.J. SIMPSON

01_ojmug.jpgWas there really any doubt that O.J. would be No. 1? Enjoy the rest of your life behind bars, Juice.

Miamis Marve to bring bad grades elsewhere

30 Dec


marve_123008.jpgRobert Marve, the quarterback for the Miami Hurricanes who started 11 of 12 football games this season before getting suspended for his school-low academic performance, is taking his crappy transcript and moving on out.  

Rumor has it the freshman, who tossed 1,293 yards, nine touchdowns and 13 interceptions last season, is interested in heading to an SEC team. Florida, Tennessee and Louisiana State have been named, but it really all depends on which schools offer his major: Doing handstands AND his minor: Reciting the alphabet.
When reached, Marve had this to say:
“You don’t have to be no Alfred Einstein to know that I ain’t gonna send Miami no invite to no parties of mine.”

They said it … select quotes from 08

30 Dec

nader123008.jpgRalph Nader, responding to The Washington Post’s decision that it
wouldn’t cover his presidential campaign because he had no chance of
winning: “Then why are you covering the Nationals?”

Charles Barkley, regarding the steroid allegations haunting Barry Bonds: “You all act like it’s a big deal to gain weight when you get old. I got it down to an exact science.”

Bill Maher of HBO, on Roger Clemens: “You can’t deny you did steroids if your head is wider than it is tall.”

John Daly, to a spectator who asked Daly to autograph an empty beer can at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic: “Don’t you have a full one?”


Kobe Bryant, on how his Los Angeles Lakers blew a 20-point, second-half lead and lost to the Boston Celtics 97-91 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals: “We just wet the bed. A nice big one, too. One of the ones you can’t put a towel over.”

docrivers123008.jpgDoc Rivers, Boston Celtics coach, after being asked how long Kevin Garnett would be out with a strained abdominal muscle: “You know Doc’s a nickname, correct?“

Coco Crisp, Red Sox outfielder, on the team’s decision to stop fans from spreading cremation ashes at Fenway Park: “It’s kind of freaky knowing you’re diving into somebody’s grandpa.”

Alla Kudryavtseva on what motivated her to beat tennis star Maria Sharapova in Wimbledon’s second round:  “It’s very pleasant to beat Maria…Why? Well, I don’t like her outfit.”

David Letterman: “Halloween — It’s the dead walking among the living? They’re dead but they’re walking around. No, wait a minute, that’s the McCain campaign.“

brooke_123008.jpgBrooke “The Smartest Woman Alive” Hogan: “You know what? I am actually not that much into voting. I think it’s kinda crazy that a woman is running, because I think that women deal with a lot of emotions and menopause and PMS and stuff. Like, I’m so moody all the time, I know I couldn’t be able to run a country, ’cause I’d be crying one day and yelling at people the next day, ya know?“ 

“I go to bed at, like, 9:30 every night, and I don’t go out or anything. I just feel like an old fart.” — Britney Spears on her life as a parent. 

Pretty much anything Sarah Palin said ended up on some blooper reel, but this one about her foreign policy qualifications takes the cake, whatever that stupid expression means…
There’s a billion more quotes out there, sure, but we like these. Of course, there’s also the Chad Ocho Cinco, T.O., George W. Bush, Shaq catalogue, but we tend to bust on them enough, and we decided to wait until the new year to launch a full-scale assault on some of our favorite targets.

Are they or arent they?

30 Dec

Just days after news broke of Tom Brady’s supposed engagement to Gisele Bundchen, various sources claim that the news is, in fact, not true.

We were initially shocked to learn that Brady has not popped the big question yet. But after doing a little research, we finally figured out why he has not asked Gis to marry him (and to be honest, we can’t blame him). Check it out for yourself:

Dodgers Dunn with Manny?

29 Dec

Reports claim the Dodgers (aka the last team with any interest in Manny Ramirez) are looking to Adam Dunn to fill the vacancy left behind by Manny. That said, it looks like the deranged outfielder is finally getting what he deserves.

The Max’s research team is currently looking into the validity of the below photo, but we don’t have any reason to believe it’s fake, especially now that the Dodgers are looking at Dunn:
