Even More Trouble For Lenny Dykstra?

Double Dumbass LogoLenny Dykstra was a three-time All-Star in 1990, 1994 and 1995, all with Philadelphia, and he won the World Series in 1988 with the New York Mets, but since he’s retired, he has all but ruined his legacy with a number of legal problems, each seemingly more baffling than the last. Most know that he has had problems with his business affairs in the past, and now he’s in hot water for bankruptcy fraud, but no one could have foreseen what the latest charge is against the man they call “Nails”. Don’t be surprised to find MLB lines @ BetUs on Dykstra’s next indiscretion in your sportsbook.

Dykstra is being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department because of an alleged incident that happened earlier this month. A woman claims that she answered an advertisement from Dykstra on Craigslist, claiming that he needed a housekeeper. The woman went to Dykstra’s residence, and he then stated that she not only would have to clean the house, but she would also have to give him massages. The woman then states that Dykstra took off his clothes and asked for a “massage” (the phrase “happy ending” should come to mind immediately), which would be taken into consideration if he was going to hire her, and the woman fled his house, flagging a cop who was passing by.

It’s been a sad post-baseball life for Dykstra, and this latest incident sounds like a guy who has nothing left to lose. He’ll likely go to jail for the bankruptcy fraud, all of his assets are being taken away from him, and he just doesn’t seem like he cares anymore. Dykstra was known during his baseball career for playing on the edge, but he’s gone over the edge in real life, and it could be a sad ending to his story.

 

 

 

NFL Players Getting Stabbed Left and Right by Loved Ones

National Football League logoWe didn’t really think much of it earlier this week when Miami Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall was allegedly stabbed in the stomach by his wife, Michi Nogami-Marshall. Yes, there was some silly story about him “falling on a vase” at first when cops showed up, but other than that, there wasn’t that much to the story, so we let it go.

But then today – BAM! A second NFL player is stabbed by his significant other. This time it’s former Detroit Lion and current Bronco Jason Hunter who is recovering from a stab wound to the left shoulder. The attacker this time was his 23-year-old girlfriend.

At this time, the NFL has issued guidelines for all its players asking them to remove all sharp objects and/or the women folk from their residences. At this current rate of stabbation, it’s estimated that every NFL starter would be injured by opening day and the League doesn’t have enough lawyers to handle the arrests AND contract negotiations.

Painful Sports Video: A Compilation of Soccer Fouls & Flops from a Single Match

Still from Real Madrid soccer video

I Fell on My Car Keys!

In some respects this looks more like a hockey game than a soccer match with bodies flying everywhere. I haven’t see this many ankles grabbed in a single day since we covered the World Shin Kicking Championships in Australia a few years back.

This “game” involves the team from Real Madrid (as opposed to the Fake Madrid most of you watch here in the US) and for some reason they are either the dirtiest soccer team ever or the opposing team from Venice Acting Academy are all made of tissue paper. Watch the video and you decide. We’re going to go out an buy some shin guards for our trip to Spain later this month.
