CLEMENS FINALLY INDICTED!

Seven-time Cy Young winer roger Clemens has been indicted by a Federal Grand Jury today 

on charges of Perjury. The retired pitcher finds himself in this situation after enough evidence was presented to show that he lied when he presented false statements to Congress about using performance-enhancing drugs during his playing career. The prosecution stated today "Our government cannot function if witnesses are not held accountable for false statements made before Congress," said United States Attorney Ronald Machen. "Today the message is clear: If a witness makes a choice to ignore his or her obligation to testify honestly, there will be consequences."

Clemens faces a maximum of 30 years in a federal prison and a fine of up to $1.5 million dollars. Clemens has not been able to be reached for a statement and his attorney Rusty Hardin has said "we have no knowledge of any indictment pending or forthcoming." I guess he needs to have his paralegal search Google or better yet just turn on any ESPN or CNN channel.

VIKING HARVIN HOSPITALIZED

Minnesota vikings WR Percy Harvin has been taken a  local Minnesota hospital this morning after collapsing at the teams practice facility.

Harvin who suffers from severe headaches, was not on the field to start practice but after a brief meeting with the head trainer he eventually came out onto the field and was set to view practice from the sideline. After a few minutes, Harvin lost his cookies and then collapsed onto the field. An ambulance arrived shortly thereafter and loaded the player into the vehicle and took him to Hennepin County Medical Center. No further information has been provided.

COLTS GILL DOWN & OUT!!

What happens to a "baby-millionare" after he is arrested for public intoxication? Thats right, you are put on the Reserve-Non Injury list! Thats exactly what has happened to Indianapolis Colts 2nd-year defensive lineman John Gill. Sunday night gill was discovered face down in a roadside ditch, no vehicle close and no one else at the scene. Gill, who was barefoot and wearing soiled khaki shorts, was reported to have been unable to respond to commands and/or questions from local police officer Ricardo Flores, Jr. and was subsequently arrested. Officer Flores attempted to have Gill stand and talk to him to fully understand how he arrived in the position he was but Gill could not stand on his own for any duration of time.
Team President Bill Polian has stated that he is fully expecting Gill to miss the 2010-11 season in full as the league will probably place him on the aforementioned list. Polian went on to say "He's got a problem unfortunately that many Americans are familiar with either in their family or in the workplace." For the moment Gill has been suspended indefinitely and awaits the next step in his treatment as this incident marks the second time that Gill has been flagged for the same play. The Colts will now make the decision as to whether they will pay Gill his base $320,000.00 salary or not. Lets hope this kid overcomes his drinking issues and makes a solid comeback in the future.

DENNIS RODMAN "THE IMMORTAL"!!

In what may be THE most amazing of feats attained by Mr. Dennis "The Automatic-Rebounder" Rodman we now have to question what was this man put here for! Basketball....too easy...love...too many divorces and broken relationships!

After returning from a trip in St. Tropez,  Rodman and friends loaded up into a Land Rover driven by a friend and shortly thereafter found themselves in a vehicle that flipped three times on the infamous I-95 in Ft. Lauderdale, with the driver being taken to the hospital for further tests and observations for head injuries. Rodman, was pulled from the vehicle by some passerby's that luckily noticed the wreckage shortly after it occurred.  Rodman thanked the help, politely declined requests for photographs and/or autographs after he stood and stretched out his 6'6 " frame and checked for any injuries. At that point he phoned his agent, Darren Prince, to inform him of the situation and stated to Prince that "I'm still living bro!...they cant get rid of me!". Prince stated to the local news, "Thank God he's OK!" "He walked out with a little scratch on his finger."

The story continues to develop but local highway patrol has added that there look to be no charges forthcoming.
