Steep discounts in Dallas for Cowboys

This really makes you shake your head. I can't wait to hear the explanation. Sort of like the college player that forgot to pay for his crab legs and walked out of the store with them.

I bet DoWhat would have sprung for some undies to give to deserving cowboy.

Dallas Cowboys reserve running back Joseph Randle was arrested for shoplifting from a suburban mall Monday night.

Joseph Randle, who has a base salary of $495,000 in 2014, is accused of stealing underwear and cologne from a Dillard's in a suburban mall.

Randle was charged with a misdemeanor Class B theft of $50 to $500

Blake Griffin charged with battery

What is it with athletes and nightclubs.

Clippers forward Blake Griffin said he is "confident" after being charged with one count of misdemeanor battery related to an incident in a Las Vegas nightclub last month.

According to the filing Wednesday in the Clark County District Attorney's office, Griffin "willfully and unlawfully used force or violence" on Oct. 19 on Daniel Schuman, squeezing Schuman's hand and shoulder and/or slapping him in the face.

According to reports at the time of the incident, Griffin was upset by camera flashes in his face and grabbed Schuman's phone.

GREAT FALLS, Mont. -- Former quarterback Ryan Leaf has been released from a Montana prison.

Judy Beck, a spokeswoman for the Montana Department of Corrections, tells the Great Falls Tribune that Leaf was released Wednesday and now is being supervised by probation and parole officers in Great Falls.

The former San Diego Chargers and Washington State player has served more than two years in prison after breaking into a home near Great Falls in 2012 to steal prescription pills.

The Montana conviction violated his probation in Texas on 2008 charges of fraudulently obtaining a controlled substance. A Texas judge sentenced Leaf to five years but gave him credit for time served.

Texas authorities can still extradite Leaf if they choose.

I fought the law but Lawson didn't win

I don't know how the NBA handles these issues. Now isn't a good time for any athlete to run afoul of the law.

Denver Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson was arrested in Denver early Friday on suspicion of drinking and driving.

Lawson was stopped at 1:19 a.m. Friday while traveling 61 mph in a 35 mph zone on Park Avenue West in Denver, according to a Denver police report.

The officer noted that Lawson's speech was slurred, his "breath had a strong odor of an unknown alcoholic beverage, balance was swaying/stumbling, eyes were bloodshot/watery."

Lawson refused to submit to a chemical test and was taken to the Downtown Detention Center

Basketballer dismissed from team & charged with rape, sodomy

I'm beginning to believe that college athletes should come with warning labels. I don't recall there ever being so many rape allegations against athletes. It could be the availability of electronic media. Or just that they are behaving badly and women aren't playing victim anymore.

Former University of Louisville basketball player Chris Jones pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges of rape and sodomy, days after being dismissed from the team. Pitino said, ''I feel awful for the young man. There's certain rules where you can work with people, and other rules where you've got to move on. Unfortunately, we've got to move on. They're like your children. You don't like to see anybody be hurt. But there's also accountability and doing the right things. He didn't. Now, he's got to get his life together, get on with life. There's no way he's coming back. It's over.''
