NHL "Murder for Hire" : Danton Cried, Didn't Want
Male Acquaintance to Leave Him After Quarrel - The story of St. Louis Blues
forward Mike Danton--charged last week for in a murder-for-hire scheme--gets
stranger by the minute. Fortunately, our friends at TheSmokingGun.com have the actual
criminal complaint filed against Danton, detailing the entire bizarre
"Hit the Hitman" plot. See if you can follow this: Danton calls a
female friend and tells her a Canadian hitman is in his way down from the Great
White North to settle some kind of debt and asks her if she knows anyone who can
hit the hitman. Her friend agrees to do it for $10,000, but here's the catch:
Danton wants the Canadian hitman murdered in his apartment and wants this guy to
make it look like a tag-team burglary gone bad! Turns out though that the
"Canadian hitman" is actually a live-in acquaintance of Danton's who
quarreled with him earlier in the week over his "drinking and
promiscuity." When the murder plot ultimately fizzled, the
acquaintance/roommate called Denton (while being taped by police) and asked why
he wanted him killed. According to the complaint, Danton broke down and cried,
and said felt he was backed into the corner and didn't want the acquaintance to
"leave him." You
can read it all for yourself here. Trust me on this one folks, this one's
going to get a lot worse before it's over.
Say It Ain't So, Joe!
Former NFL star QB Joe Namath,
who was caught on national TV drunkenly telling ESPN sideline reporter Suzy
Kolber that he "wanted to kiss her," has decided to go into rehab for
alcohol abuse . . . although he didn't sound 100% sure about what he was
actually doing. Boasted Broadway Joe, "Well, I've enrolled, or I've gone
into a center and I'm getting personal help there. These people are experts and
we need to talk." You might need to do more than talk to get past this
one, Joe. Full

I
Fought the Ty Law: New England Patriots Star Flees Police, Doesn't Want to Be
Touched - New England Patriots cornerback Ty Law
was arrested after he was stopped by police, then allegedly ran away from them
though a popular nightclub district. At one point, the NFL star apparently told
arresting officers "not to touch him because he is a professional
athlete.'' (At left, Ty Law's mug shot.)
We're Stunned! Professional Wrestlers Sued for
Sexual Harassment by Flight Attendants! -
Apparently some of the biggest names in the WWE--Ric "The Nature
Boy" Flair, Scott "The Diamond Stud" Hall and Dustin "Goldust"
Runnels--did more than ask for refills on their coffee during the flight.
According to a lawsuit filed by two flight attendants for Phoenix-based
SportsJet--Taralyn Cappellano and Heidi Doyle--on their May 5, 2002 flight, Mr.
Flair spent the entire trip back from Europe wearing only a jeweled cape and was
seen "spinning" his penis around. Meanwhile, Mr. Hall asked a flight
attendant to "suck his d*ck" and licked the face of another attendant.
By comparison Mr. Runnels was well behaved, having only grabbed one attendant
and telling her "you and me are gonna f*ck.". But the best allegation
is at the end: they allege that when they "walked down the aircraft aisles,
other wrestlers whose names are unknown at this time, repeatedly grabbed their
rear ends and breasts, and GAVE THEM NEEDLES TO DISPOSE OF." Diabetics,
maybe? You can read the watered down newspaper
version here, or visit our friends at TheSmokingGun.com to get the full
story . . . especially page
six of their lawsuit. It's a BadJocks Instant Classic!

Knight
Not Suspended After All for "Salad Bar" Incident, Only Gets Reprimand!
- ESPN is reporting that contrary to earlier reports, Texas Tech coach Bob
Knight will NOT be suspended by the school.
Knight originally faced a three- to five-day suspension starting Tuesday night
as a result of his verbal confrontation with university chancellor David Smith
at a grocery store in Lubbock, but after "reviewing all the facts"
officials in the school's president's office weaseled out and decided to only
reprimand Knight. (Isn't this how things started to unravel at IU?) Allegedly,
Coach Knight and TT's Chancellor David Smith were at a grocery story salad bar
when Smith decided to comment on how well behaved Bobby had been lately.
According to reports, Knight called him a liar and the two heatedly exchanged
words. With Knight's demeanor described as, "mad as a hornet, and his face
was bright red", The General then threw his salad and an argument ensued
between the two men coming very close to getting physical. Watch
the video of the famous "chair tossing incident" here.

Jessica
Simpson and Her Ample Chest Sue Auto Racing Company for Hosing Her
- Pop star Jessica Simpson and her breasts are suing 4 Dog Productions for
breach of contract because she says the company didn't pay her $140,000 they
promised if she wore a T-shirt in one of her videos with the logo of an auto
racing company, Motorock, on it. This sort of reminds me of one of those
pranks you play on a younger sibling, telling them if they do something (clean
your room, wash the dishes, spay the cat, etc), you'll pay them later . . . and
then you don't. Not that I ever did anything like that growing up. Once
again, our good friends at TheSmokingGun.com not only have the story, but the
lawsuit itself for your reading pleasure. (At right, a still from the video
"With You" with Simpson wearing the t-shirt.)
Olympic
Swimmer Busted for DUI at 19! No, we
don't have the results of his breathalyzer test yet, so we don't know if
American Olympic swimming sensation Michael Phelps will break into the Top
Twenty of our BAC Rankings,
but he could do some jail time. Phelps, who won six gold medals in Athens this
summer, was pulled over by a Maryland state trooper last Thursday about 11:30
p.m after his 2005 Land Rover ran a stop sign. He was charged with driving under
the influence, driving while impaired, violating a license restriction and
running a stop sign.
