| Cedric Benson Arrested ... Again Posted: 29 Jun 2010 08:55 PM PDT Cedric Benson revived his NFL career last season with the Cincinnati Bengals by running hard and avoid tacklers. On Tuesday, Benson put his career back in jeopardy after not being able to avoid the long arm of the law. The running back was arrested in Austin, Texas for misdemeanor assault. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is sure to suspend Benson for this latest brush with the law. While at the University of Texas, Benson was charged with criminal trespassing. Once he got to the NFL, he failed to live up to expectations with the Chicago Bears. The Bears decided to release Benson in 2008 after he was arrested twice in the same month for alcohol-related charges. The details of Tuesday’s arrest are still unfolding. Reports indicate that Benson hit someone who works at a bar after being thrown out of said bar. Benson reportedly was mad because “all these white boys are ganging up on me and kicking me out.” Since Benson is a repeat offender, expect Goodell to be harsh with his punishment. My prediction? Probably a two-game suspension … with a possibility of up to four games.  Cedric Benson was arrested again (Image: TSN.ca) Post from: EveryJoe |
| Posted: 29 Jun 2010 08:54 PM PDT Larry King Live has been a staple for the last 25 years. Known for divorcing gal pals by the dozen, Larry King is now divorcing his show. According to King, he asked CNN to end the show and CNN accepted. The Guinness Book of World Records says Larry King Live set the record for having the longest running show in the same time slot with the same host. The 76-year-old King was born Lawrence Harvey Zeiger in Brooklyn, New York. Before landing his gig with CNN, he held numerous radio and TV jobs. He rose to fame in 1978 as an all-night broadcaster. In 1985, Larry King Live was born. At some point in the fall, Larry King Live will die. For Larry King fans out there — don’t worry, he’ll still be on the air. He reportedly signed a new deal with CNN to do specials. According to King, he was just tired of the nightly grind. The will be “giving me more time for my wife and I to get to the kids' little league games.” The biggest question mark rising from this news is with CNN. The network always had Larry King to fall back on, no matter what was going on. With the death of the Larry King Show, will CNN find a suitable replacement? Post from: EveryJoe |
| Paul Pierce and Dirk Nowitzki Opt Out Posted: 29 Jun 2010 08:05 PM PDT The 2010 NBA free agent class is headlined by LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. You can now add two more superstars to the list: Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics and Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks. Both players opted out of the last years of their contract to become free agents. While not a shock, the news wasn’t a slam dunk, either. Pierce was due $21.5 million next season. After helping the Celtics come within one game of an NBA championship, Pierce obviously believes he can cash in. Boston can re-sign Pierce to a deal worth up to $96 million over four seasons. Though most league pundits expect Pierce to stay, if another team throws a huge offer at him, sources close the Celtics believe that general manager Danny Ainge could let Pierce walk. Nowitzki, on the other hand, is considered a near lock to rejoin the Mavs. Like Pierce, Nowitzki is turning down $21.5 million next season in hopes of landing a four-year, $96 million deal. Though Nowitzki back in Big D is very likely, one only has to think about when Steve Nash left the Mavs for the Suns for an example of when plans change during the summer. Where will the 2010 NBA free agents sign? Check out our EveryJoe.com free agent predictions.  Could Dirk Nowitzki leave Dallas in free agency? (Image: Zuma Press) Post from: EveryJoe |
