Pretty funny read,.. some of the highlights:

New Year's resolution: avoid pesky ATM fees
Former Ohio State halfback Maurice Clarett was charged with robbing two people at gunpoint in an alley behind a Columbus, Ohio, bar on New Year's Day.
He thought they were boosters
Clarett allegedly showed the victims a handgun tucked in his waistband, then demanded they empty their pockets.
Actually, the bottle was half-empty
Clarett was later arrested following a highway chase that ended with police subduing him with mace then finding four loaded guns
and a half-full bottle of vodka in his SUV.
For instance, Iraq
Said the coach of a semipro football team Clarett planned to play for: "I've seen far worse situations than this." |

Two days before the Pittsburgh-Denver playoff game, Pennsylvania high school teacher John Kelly made a Broncos jersey-wearing student sit on the floor during a midterm exam, then had other students pelt him with paper.
No child left unhumiliated
Said Kelly in the Denver Post: "If he felt uncomfortable, then that's a lesson; that's what [the class] is designed to do." |

Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick was kicked off the team for stomping on the leg of Louisville's Elvis Dumervil during the Gator Bowl.
Curiously, the interview was not in Spanish
The stomp occurred while Vick's older brother, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, gave a television interview on the Virginia Tech sideline.
Back off, Hamburglar!
Two days after his dismissal, Marcus Vick was arrested and charged with three counts of brandishing a firearm for pointing a gun at three people in a McDonald's parking lot.
Because if anyone knows acceptable behavior, it's Marcus Vick
A 17-year-old girl sued Marcus Vick for $6.3 million, claiming that Vick sexually abused her over the course of a nearly two-year relationship, persuaded her to have sex with Vick and another man and assured her that sex between an adult and a "child of her age" was acceptable.
Dirty Bird
Michael Vick was fined $10,000 for flipping off fans in Atlanta. |

New Jersey Nets guard Vince Carter said that Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant's 81-point game could send the wrong message to children about not playing basketball within the team concept. |

Former NBA player Latrell Sprewell allegedly attempted to choke a woman while having sex on his boat. |

The Stanford Tree was ejected from a basketball game and later was found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.157.
"With the 20th pick in the 2007 NFL draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select the Stanford Tree"
The Tree also was suspended from the NCAA Tournament after refusing to clear the floor following halftime of a game. |

Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams failed a NFL drug test.
No way!
Former NBA player Isaiah Rider was arrested on charges of kidnapping a female acquaintance.
Say it ain't so!
Former MLB pitcher Dwight Gooden flunked probation for cocaine use.
Who woulda thunk it!
Rider subsequently was arrested on charges of felony cocaine possession.
In other words, Tuesday night at Isaiah Rider's place
American figure skater Johnny Weir described the tempo of a competitor's short program as "a vodka-shot, let's-snort-coke kind of thing." |
