Bucs cut tight end Sefarian-Jenkins for 2nd DUI last Friday, but he was signed by the NY Jets yesterday.....He was arrested after partying all night, and just two hours before he was to report for practice. He never displayed any kind of smarts during his two years here, either on or off the field.

Probably filed in the "Vince Young" category file. Where they keep the really wondrous scores.

A $450 shopping spree wasn't good enough.

Jeremy Sprinkle's collegiate career abruptly ended hours before Thursday's Belk Bowl.The reason?
He shoplifted from -- of all places -- a Belk department store in Charlotte, North Carolina, even though each player on Sprinkle's Arkansas team and opponent Virginia Tech had a $450 gift card to spend there.

PacMan Jones - assault, disorderly, harassment & obstruction

If this guy wasn't a talented athlete, he'd be in prison stripes.

Bengals cornerback Adam Jones was released from jail on bond Wednesday morning, more than 24 hours after being booked on misdemeanor charges of assault, disorderly conduct and obstructing official business, as well as a felony count of harassment with a bodily substance.
Jones had to spend the night in jail while waiting for a blood test, which could not be taken until Wednesday morning. He will appear before a grand jury on Jan. 13.

Kevin Olsen, brother of Carolina Panthers Greg Olsen charged with rape

This kid seems to not be able to stay out of trouble.

According to Charlotte police, Olsen was charged with felony second-degree forcible rape, cyberstalking, assault on a female, and second-degree forced sex.

Olsen's winding and troubled history has included stints at four different schools.
According to the Charlotte Observer, the 22-year-old Olsen originally enrolled at Miami in 2013 but left the school in September 2014 following multiple reported team violations.
He transferred to FCS school Towson but was also kicked off that team before ever taking a snap for breaking team rules. He had a redemptive 2015 season at Riverside (Calif.) City College before enrolling at Charlotte in 2016, passing for 842 yards and six touchdowns last season.

trouble just follows him around

A search revealed a Gucci book bag on the floor of the driver's side that included 126.2 grams of marijuana, six oxycodone pills weighing 3.1 grams, $947, a Rolex, a men's necklace with white stones and a men's bracelet with white stones.
One of Elam's passengers, Calvin Stewart, possessed a loaded semi-automatic pistol in his waistband area. Stewart told police he didn't have a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

he was holding it for a friend

I am all for jail time for anyone caught with men's bracelets, necklaces and other such contraband.

Too bad he didn't just have the stuff his team can legally give him instead of a quarter pound (sounds less threatening than 126.2 gams) of weed and 3.1 gams of oxy.

Maybe if they didn't act like they were above the law, he wouldn't be facing prosecution. But no doubt this will bump up his street cred. If you read the article in the link, he's a first round pick that has been a major disappointment as a player. Calling him the Raven's worst 1st round pick ever. If he's a bad player that is 1 thing. But if he's talented and just DGAF then he's wasted his talent. He had 4 whole tackles all of last season. 4. I'm sure his Fla Gator degree will come in handy as he seeks a cure for cancer.

You were an athlete, right? How'd you feel when you won? How did people look at you, treat you? Just like a regular Joe? I'm not excusing ANY criminal behavior by jocks, especially violence. I DO think there is an enormous amount of hypocrisy as to what teams can give their guys, pressure them into taking, legally, vs. any self medicating especially when there is ever more evidence that weed helps pro athletes, a lot, over pharmaceuticals.

Now, so much for that. How do we get them to have SOME humility and cut it out, or cut back, with the jewelry?

Update - Bench warrant issued for Ty Lawson

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.

Just stay out of trouble and do the things that you need to do. It's really not that hard.

Lawson tested positive for alcohol on Sept. 27, Sept. 29 and Feb. 2, leading to the bench warrant. Lawson also failed to complete the community service portion of his sentence, The Denver Post reported, citing Denver County Court records.

Mr toughguy punches a woman

Time for the university to dismantle the football team. Florida football produces lots of criminals.

Former Florida defensive tackle Caleb Brantley, who is considered a potential first- or second-round pick in this week's NFL draft, was charged on Friday with misdemeanor simple battery after he allegedly struck a woman and knocked her unconscious during a dispute earlier this month.

a woman told police that the 6-foot-2, 307-pound Brantley made crude comments toward her during an argument at a bar on April 13, and she then pushed him. The complaint said Brantley responded by "striking [her] in the face knocking her unconscious."
The complaint said the woman, who is 5-foot-6 and 120 pounds, suffered dental injuries that "displaced a tooth and will require a root canal." The complaint also said Brantley's "use of force was clearly out of retaliation and not self-defense. Additionally, the intensity of [his] force far exceeded what was reasonable or necessary."
