TCU Football Team



Early in the season last year, suspicions were raised when the TCU football team began their pregame ritual of licking the toads on the side of their helmets on their way to the Poinsettia Bowl. After an investigation into drug dealings around the campus, officials arrested linebacker Tanner Brock, offensive lineman Ty Horn, defensive back Devin Johnson, and defensive lineman D.J. Yendrey. The four football players were among 19 students arrested when police were investigating people selling cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy, and prescription drugs. All four the of the arrested are allegedly drug dealers, according to the TCU police chief, and the four are accused of selling to other students and football players.

During the investigation, Brock told an undercover officer about a surprise drug test that he "for sure" failed and that only 20 players on the roster weren't "screwed," which brings up the question; Why does TCU have 42 kickers on the roster? The drug test was allegedly administered because a prized recruit told coach Gary Patterson he would not attend due to drug use by the TCU football players. The results of the drug test were not released, but Devin Johnson told an undercover officer that 82 players failed the drug test. So that would be over 80% of the little sisters of the poor failing drug tests.

According to the AP, undercover officers bought marijuana from both Horn and Yendrey in November, when they were selling to students and football players. Brock allegedly sold to the police officers when the two ran out. Officers bought the drugs from various locations around campus including outside a grocery store and restaurant. Brock then allegedly gave his number to the undercover cop telling him to come to him instead of the other two players.

Brock was the teams leading tackler 2 years ago, but suffered a foot injury to end his season after one game this year. Yendrey and Johnson combined for 20 starts last season.

Now TCU has no one else to blame but themselves if they can't get a good bowl.

Roburt Sallie G Ex-Memphis


Former Memphis basketball player Roburt Sallie was cut from his overseas Spanish professional team for "disciplinary reasons", however translated from TUBasket.com comes the apparent real reason he was cut from the team, though it seems to not be a big deal.

Sallie apparently didn't tell the team that he was taking ExtenZe, a penis enlargement pill, and it caused him to fail a drug test with heightened levels of testosterone. Also noted by the website is the following (translated from Spanish);
was then understood why the player, formed in college Memphis and graduated a year before finishing his basketball career in the NCAA, his poor relationship with peers, and almost never take a shower in the locker room, or after games or practice, so you will not see her naked peers. hoped to do at home, although sometimes spend many hours, and had a long trip by coach involved.
So now whats worse -- testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone allegedly due to Herpes like Ryan Braun, getting busted with unprescribed Viagra like Raiders WR Louis Murphy, or for trying to enlarge your penis like Sallie?

J.T. Thomas LB Chicago Bears


J.T. Thomas was drafted out of West Virginia in the 6th round this past season. He didn't play this season after being placed on the injured reserve in September. Now Thomas faces a misdemeanor drug charge following an interesting incident in Morgantown, West Virginia.

Thomas was pulled over for speeding the wrong way down a one way street. The police asked for his registration and when he pulled out a bundle it also contained two baggies of marijuana that fell out.

Thomas seems like a great role model outside of this, however. Thomas was in Morgantown raising money for his foundation which helps children with epilepsy. He also took an 8th grade girl with spina bifida that was confined to a wheel chair to a dance because the boys at her school rejected her. He then made bigger news when he brought a 14 year old with epilepsy to the Super Bowl with him.

Travis Freeman LB, Kenneth Lee CB Ball State


Two Ball State defenders, senior linebacker Travis Freeman and senior cornerback Kenneth Lee decided to transfer to Brawl State after getting arrested on suspicion of battery following a bar fight early Saturday morning.

Lee allegedly struck the victim and grabbed him by his neck, while witnesses ID'd Freeman as a man who didn't start the fight, but joined in later and struck the victim. The victim was also arrested on a preliminary battery charge.

Freeman was second team All-MAC after leading the team in tackles, while Lee sat out after transferring from a DII team.

Carson Baranik P LSU



LSU freshman pitcher Carson Baranik was drafted in the 41st round of the 2011 MLB draft by the Cincinnati Reds, but decided against going professional and enrolled at LSU this year. However, he has been suspended indefinitely from the team following his DUI arrest early Saturday morning.

Baranik was pulled over for running a red light at around 1:30 A.M. Saturday morning, and the officers noticed that he had glassy eyes, poor balance, slurred speech and smelled of alcohol. Police reports show that he performed poorly on field sobriety tests, and ended up blowing just over a .14 on the breathalyzer. He was booked into jail around 3:30 A.M. on charges of disobeying a red light, reckless operation of a vehicle, and first offense DWI.

LSU head baseball coach Paul Mainieri suspended Baranik indefinitely immediately following the incident.

Josh Beckett P Boston Red Sox


Pitcher Josh Beckett has a career record of 125-81 that spanned from 2001 to 2011 with the Florida Marlins and Boston Red Sox. During that time he won two World Series and has been to the All Star game three times.

It's a fact that the pitcher enjoys a drink here and there, but it's surprising to see him drinking in a bar instead of the Red Sox clubhouse.

Victor Cruz WR New York Giants



Matt Light and Rob Gronkowski can take off their shirts and dance with LMFAO and all the dudes that they want. That's what the losers of the Super Bowl do. The winners on the other hand, like Victor Cruz here, get to show off their Salsa moves with Ashanti. I'm patiently waiting for Nelly's diss song for Cruz taking his girl.

Rey Maualuga LB Cincinnati Bengals


Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga, fresh off a 2010 DUI guilty plea that led to a 2 year probation, finds himself in some more drunk trouble, but thankfully this time not behind the wheel.

Maualuga was at a bar when the manager of the bar didn't take kindly to something that was said by the group he was with, and proceeded to tell them that they had to leave. Maualuga didn't take kindly to being told to leave the establishment, so he allegedly took "three or four steps" and punched the bar manager in the eye causing his nose to bleed. After that security settled the situation, and the manager walked away.


Already fined 2 gamechecks for his DUI incident, he could face more discipline from the league. He should be more worried about the fact that he was on probation at the time of the punch than anything.  If you look above, you can see what it looks like to get punched by an NFL linebacker. Of course this NFL linebacker got out bench pressed at the Combine by his teammate kicker David Buehler so maybe it isn't the best example.

Rob Gronkowski TE, Matt Light OT New England Patriots


Finally, Video has emerged of the Patriots "celebrating" the Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants, so now you can enjoy a shirtless Matt Light and Rob Gronkowski dancing away their pains. 


As you can see, the alcohol is working much better at relieving the pain than the injections he got before the Super Bowl. Either that or it was a miraculous recovery, cause god damn you have to be healthy to have those kind of moves. 

Shayne Skov LB Stanford


Stanford's leading tackler in 2010, linebacker Shayne Skov, missed most of this season due to a knee injury so he only finished with 19 tackles in 2011. Now he will likely miss some spring practices -- maybe  more -- due to a suspension following his DUI arrest that occurred on January 29th.

Skov was arrested at around 2 A.M. by Stanford University Police near his residence. No other details have been released regarding the arrest.

Mel Kiper has Skov ranked as the #3 inside linebacker in the 2013 draft, and NFLDraftScout has him ranked as the #4. However, after tearing his MCL and ACL, as well as this DUI arrest, he could slip come next April.

Knowshon Moreno RB Denver Broncos


Denver Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno has found himself in a bit of trouble after catching a DUI charge on February 1st. Moreno was driving his custom Bentley with custom plates reading "SAUCED" 75 miles per hour in a 45 mile per hour zone -- in a construction zone. Police stopped him and he smelled of alcohol, so they had him do a field sobriety test which he failed. He then took a breath test, and police noted that he was polite during the entire incident.

Moreno had 179 rushing yards a 1 receiving touchdown before going down with an ACL tear.

Jamaal Charles RB Kansas City Chiefs


Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles tore his ACL way back in September, but clearly it's healed enough to go out and hit up the Texas night life. However, I'm confused at what you could possibly put in a dick pocket. Possibly a handy place to store condoms, maybe an air freshener, a surprise gift for that hot girl at the club, the possibilities are endless!

Victor Cruz WR New York Giants



Now time for  the champions to celebrate. Here is Victor Cruz with a very Dallas Mavericks-esque bottle of Ace of Spades champagne. Cruz was double teamed most of the night against the New England Patriots. but still managed to snag a touchdown on four catches for 25 yards. Victor Cruz got paid $405,000 this year for the Giants, setting team records in receiving almost across the board. That bottle alone cost $80,000. So much for that pre-season seminar on wisely investing your money.

Rob Gronkowski TE, Matt Light OT New England Patriots


Win or lose -- we still booze. Patriots offensive tackle Matt Light and tight end Rob Gronkowski took that saying to heart after the loss to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl letting off a little steam and shirtless fist-pumping with LMFAO. Nothing like dancing all your woes away after losing the biggest game of your career.

Von Miller LB Denver Broncos


The Denver Broncos took Von Miller at the #2 spot in the NFL Draft last year, when many thought prior to the draft they were going to draft Marcell Dareus who went one spot later. Well now Miller won NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year awards after accumulating 11.5 sacks during the season, which included 4 games with him in a cast. He won it over 49er's Aldon Smith who almost broke the rookie sack record, but got a DUI just a week ago.

Rumor has it the NFL gave Miller the award due to the fact that he was able to make Tim Tebow look good.
