In: NFL
I have a feeling that this isn’t going to end real well for Big Ben.
Ben Roethlisberger has been asked to fork over a DNA sample to cops as part of the investigation into accusations that the NFL star sexually assaulted a 20-year-old woman.
The Milledgeville Police Department claim they made the request to Ben’s legal team and believe Roethlisberger will comply.
Here’s why I think this is bad news: the cops wouldn’t ask for DNA from Roethisberger unless they had something to compare his DNA to. Specifically, they must have found DNA on either the accuser or her clothes, or on something that indicates Big Ben sexually assaulted her. It’s not like the cops ask every suspect for DNA and then search for a match after obtaining it. That’d be ridiculous. No, my guess is that the cops found human DNA on the accuser’s clothes, and now they’re going to see if it matches.
And I doubt it’s someone else’s DNA, for the very simple reason that even thought girls can be crazy and make false accusations, I don’t think even the craziest of girls would be sexually assaulted by one guy and then claim someone else – especially someone famous – did it. Mark my words, Big Ben is gonna be in a lot of trouble.

Someone call child services, a baby just got killed!
Kevin Youkilis was gifted with the ability to grow mean facial hair. Now he’s giving that gift back to those less fortunate.
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Kevin Youkilis is making his Opening Day facial hair a matter of public choice. Fans who donate at least $1 to his “Hits for Kids” charitable foundation can weigh in on whether he should sport a goatee, mustache, fu manchu or clean shaven look on April 3.
I’m pretty sure Youk is already rockin’ the fu manchu, which is really pretty overhyped in my opinion. Anyway, it’s cool that Youkilis cares so little about his looks that he’s willing to let fans decide just how he should wear his facial hair. I guess when you’re as ugly as Youk, it doesn’t really matter what’s growing on your face.
And not to undermine his charitable contribution – because it really is a cool thing he’s doing – but isn’t he playing it kind of safe? A mustache? A goatee? If you really want to get people interested and donating money to the charity, you’ve got to up the ante a bit and give them options they can get excited about. How about letting them vote for either Wolverine sideburns, a Hitler mustache, or one of those old-timey mustaches that connect to the sideburns? THAT would get people involved.
Of all the drugs to accuse her husband of abusing, Chantel Kendall picks adderall??
The latest salvo fired by Chantel Kendall, aside from the allegations of emotional and physical abuse, could impact more than Kendall’s ability to raise his children, but could also have an impact on the game of baseball itself. Chantel says Jason Kendall is abusing the prescription drug Adderall.
Adderall is a drug that is commonly prescribed to those who are diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, and it is an amphetamine. The purpose of the drug is to help a patient increase their alertness, concentration, libido and overall cognitive skills.
Really? Adderall? You know, being that Kendall plays baseball, if Chantel really wanted to get under his skin, she’d simply accuse of him taking steroids or HGH. That’s probably do the trick.
As for adderall, well, let’s hope that MLB doesn’t start getting its panties in a bunch over this substance, too, for the very simple fact that it’s pretty tough to “abuse” adderall. I was snorting orange lines the length of pool tables when I was in school, and I turned out just fine. In fact, anyone who’s ever studied hard for a test or needed a quick pick-me-up before a night of drinking has undoubtedly popped a pill or two. It’s just not a big deal, so her accusation is the same as if she accused him of abusing coffee.
You really dropped the ball on this one, Chantel.
Pretty nasty. There just isn’t another sport in the world like hockey. Fighting is tolerated for a very good reason.
If you check out the above pic – which I found over at Ball Don’t Lie – you can see that Ron Artest has shaved his head. Why is that significant? Because just days ago, Artest was sporting a hairstyle the likes of which would have made Dennis Rodman uncomfortable. I guess he realized how absolutely ridiculous it all looked and wanted to go back to looking like a normal human being for a while.
I know what Artest must have been thinking; we’ve all gotten terrible haircuts before, Some haircuts are so bad that you’re not left with any choice but to shave your head and start over. According to the photographer (Mike Trudell), the messages of “defense” are still there, just not nearly as prominent. Guess we’ll have to wait for a better image to find out for sure.
Anyway, the fact that Artest may have some self-awareness as to his look bumps him down a few notches on the crazy meter.
In case you somehow forgot that Ron Artest is quite unstable, he done dyed in “defense” in Hebrew, Japanese, and Hindi into his hair. I guess it beats a Chinese tattoo on his shoulder blade. It’s like Dennis Rodman all over again, but this version of Rodman is scary crazy, as opposed to just sort of funny/entertaining crazy.
I will admit I do miss the days of guys like Anthony Mason shaving messages into their heads, and it is pretty cool to see Artest bring some of his personality out through his hairstyle. But like, Jesus Christ, man. You’re an adult.
You can check out more pictures and a video of Artest’s hair after the jump. Thanks to youbeenblinded.com for finding this.
It’s just insane how high this kid can jump. I’ve seen him dunk over guys a lot bigger than him at least three or four times now, but they just don’t seem to get the idea that my man Rose can fly.
They’re really struggling without Noah, though, huh?
