Floyd Mayweather Junior Arrested!

Couting his half

Floyd Mayweather Junior has just been arrested in Las Vegas on charges of grand larceny ESPN.com reports. Mayweather allegedly took a number of personal items from his ex-girlfriend Thursday morning but it is unclear what was taken. This is not his first run in with the law and probably won’t be his last. He’s been arrested multiple times on various assault and battery charges.

This guy might be at the end of a coke or meth binge. He’s just been acting much crazier than normal lately. We are used to him bouncing all over the ring and starting feuds with rappers but his racist rant against Pac Man and these new charges are more than we are accustomed to.

50 Cent shared his thoughts on the situation this morning via twitter stating:

She [Floyd’s Ex] has a girlfriend that stays in the guesthouse that floyd is paying for her as child support that is helping fuel the situation…

Floyd said he feels like her girlfriend is using her and pushing her in the wrong direction

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this 50. These tweets really shed a lot of light on the situation.

Floyd Mayweather’s Racist Outbreak

Floyd Mayweather needs to simmer down a little bit. Maybe the prospect of one of the biggest paydays in boxing history is driving him crazy but the video he posted to his twitter and ustream account was not a good look. Not only did he call the Pac Man out but he also said:

As soon as we come off vacation, we’re going to cook that little yellow chump. We ain’t worried about that. So they ain’t gotta worry about me fighting the midget. Once I kick the midget ass, I don’t want you all to jump on my d—. So you all better get on the bandwagon now. … Once I stomp the midget, I’ll make that mother f—– make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice.

Michael Jordan’s Son Blows $50k in Vegas

Michael Jordan’s philandering ways have been well document on this blog in connection with the carnage that he’s left in his wake. Apparently the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. His son Marcus Jordan recently blew through $50,000 with some UCF teammates in toe at Las Vegas Casinos. He posted all of this on his twitter account including twitvids of their time at the Liquid Pool Longue.

This is not a good look for Marcus and his boys.

1. It’s a bad idea for Marcus Jordan NCAA athletes to gamble especially with this much money.
2. It’s a bad idea for NCAA athletes to discuss their gambling wins and losses publicly.
3. It’s a bad idea for anyone to talk about breaking the law publicly (you must be at least 21 to gamble at casinos and Jordan is 20).
4. It’s not a good idea for anyone to put as much money on a craps table as their friend’s family probably makes in a year.

In the words of Ed Lover, C’MON SON!

Chad Ochocinco Hit with $25k fine for Tweeting

The season hasn’t even started yet and Chad Ochocinco Johnson of the Cincinnati Bengals has already been fined $25,000. He got slapped with a fine this time for tweeting during the Bengals’ last game. After he took a pretty rough hit he wrote:

Man Im sick of getting hit like that , its the damn preseason shit! 1day I’m gone jump up and start throwing hay makers #Tylenolplease

How dare the other team lay their hands on you Chad! Don’t they know this is football and that hitting is not allowed! Come on dude. It’s one thing if you got your bell rocked in the Pro Bowl circa Sean Taylor’s (RIP) hit on Brian Moorman in 2007 but this is football! If you don’t want to get rocked you should either lift weights and get stronger or step off the field. Chad seemed pretty broken up about the fine. He apologized to the the NFL via twitter.

I’ve been fined by the league a substantial amount of money for tweeting, 1st time twitter hasn’t made me money but cost me money

Dear NFL I apologize for tweeting during the game but that was 2 months of my Bugatti payments you just took from me, I won’t do it again.

Does this guy take anything seriously? Well other than The Ultimate Catch…
