NFL

OJ Simpson - Kidnapping, armed robbery
Lawrence Phillips - Assault with a deadly weapon
Michael Vick - Conspiracy
Dwayne Goodrich - criminally negligent homicide

MLB

Pete Rose - Tax Evasion
Darryl Strawberry - battery, drug possession, solicitation
Ugueth Urbina - Attempted Murder
Dwight Gooden - evading police, drug possession, drug trafficking

NBA

Allen Iverson - maiming by mob
Tom Pane - Rape (multiple convictions)
Charles Smith - homicide
Ruben Patterson - Rape

Boxing

Riddick Bowe - Kidnapping
Mike Tyson - Narcotics, DUI, Rape, Road Rage
Tommy Morrison - multiple weapons charges and trafficking
Rubin Carter - Murder



Hockey and every other sport has its share of people that do not put the sport in the best light, but that in and of itself does not make the sport bad nor does it mean that all the athletes in that sport should be painted with the same brush. In fact it puts more emphasis on the judiciary bodies within each sport to work harder to maintain a standard by which all athletes should be measured.

And that, my friends, is that.

I'm glad to see this kind of thing finally happening in professional sports. My son watches the NFL, NHL and MLB all the time, and the last thing he needs to see is guys like that. How do you teach a kid good sportsmanship when this is what they see? I'm a diehard Ranger fan, and as much as I hate the Devils, the crap he pulled last year in the crease in front of Brodeur made me sick.

I think as a professional athlete, you should watch what you say, you shouldn't bring guns to night clubs, etc.

the stuff with brodeur didn't bother me much...however the replay + finger was a bit much.

That will pave the way for his possible return to the New York Rangers if the NHL club does indeed put in a claim for him.

The latest.

Let it go boys. It was a 7th grade comment I'll give you that but Crosby is a bigger jack off than Avery.

It's let go....just an update on his status, Al.

And Avery would kick Sid the Kid's arse.

This is not the reason I dislike him. It just showed he was classless off the ice as well as on the ice. He is a cheap, dirty player. I like muckers and scrappers as they have their role but this guy is as I said before a head case and I'll add a "ticking time bomb" for whatever team he joins. It shows how disliked he was by his own teammates when they vocalized their dislike for him after the comment. There was more behind the scenes for a professional and classy athlete like Turco to come out and say something like he did.

As a hockey player (albiet not professional) myself, I lost all respect for him as a player wth the nonsense he pulled with Martin Brodeur last year.

The comments just made me lose respect for his as a human being.

I was really hopin' this guys was done... he irritates me to no end.

Of course, Michael Vick has several interested parties in the NFL.
Seems when it comes to sports, you can't be scummy enough to let go of if you have some talent.

Then again... wonder why Barry Bonds can't find a team?
