Enjoy!<\/p>\n
After a hiatus, the daily news beat is back and there\u2019s plenty to discuss. We\u2019ll give you the lowdown on something other than the Final four because, let\u2019s face it, if you don\u2019t know who made it in, you don\u2019t know sports. <\/p>\n
NBA news: Vince goes down; Bradley goes the political route; Artest steals more than basketballs<\/strong><\/p>\n In an event that should surprise 0.0 people, Vince Carter succumbed to an injury yesterday. While battling the Denver Nuggets, he went down with a sprained toe. J.J. Redick seized the opportunity to fill in, scoring 23 points while setting career highs with eight assists and seven rebounds over 46 minutes.<\/p>\n Though Shawn Bradley hasn\u2019t played since 2005, he lives on in our hearts. The 7\u20196\u201d former center has become a YouTube legend thanks to getting constantly posterized on dunks by high-flyers. Now, Bradley is turning heads for a new reason. After spending several years on staff at a private school, he is reportedly running for congress in Utah.<\/p>\n Hey, sounds good to me.<\/p>\n It\u2019s almost a guarantee that he\u2019ll never sleep around or do anything shady, as it\u2019s simply too tough to hide when you\u2019re Shawn Bradley.<\/p>\n If you ever wonder why Ron Artest is so good at stealing (basketballs), look no further than an interview he gave in 2001, which was just recovered by\u00a0The Orange County Register<\/em>. Artest claimed that he used to steal Little Debbie cakes from a local store, sometimes swiping as many as four per day.<\/p>\n If that\u2019s how Artest got good at stealing, Scottie Pippen must\u2019ve grown up robbing banks.<\/p>\n NFL news: Weekend crime wave overshadows other rumors<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019ll get to the Pacman rumors but first let\u2019s cover all the criminal activity in the NFL over the weekend. First off, we have Joey Porter, who recently signed with the Arizona Come on. But it\u2019s the NFL and we can\u2019t be surprised if Porter escapes with a fine or community service.<\/p>\n Ryan Leaf, one of the biggest draft-day busts in NFL history, agreed to plead guilty on a burglary charge stemming from a 2008 incident in which he broke into a football player\u2019s apartment to steal the painkiller Hydrocodone. In exchange for his plea, he\u2019ll receive 10 years probation.<\/p>\n Hey \u2013 at least your 15 minutes of fame isn\u2019t over yet, Ryan!<\/p>\n Now, on to the Adam \u201cPacman\u201d Jones news, which is somehow not related to any crime. Still tempted by Pacman\u2019s natural abilities, the Lions, 49ers and, of course, the Bengals have all expressed interest in him. Jones\u2019 agent, Ray Savage, said his client plans to meet with each of these teams in the next week or two.<\/p>\n MLB news: Prospects Heyward, Desmond, Davis crack major-league rosters<\/strong><\/p>\n Our Rookie of the Year candidates in the 2010 MLB season are starting to crystallize. First off, we have Jason Heyward, the consensus No. 1 offensive prospect in baseball. After wowing folks by launching balls into parking lots this spring, he wound up making the Atlanta Braves\u2019 Opening Day roster (assuming he overcomes shin splints).<\/p>\n Also cracking their big clubs: middle infielder Ian Desmond (Nationals) and starting pitcher Wade Davis (Rays).<\/p>\n <\/strong> Sports water cooler headlines and sports gossip for Monday March 29th, 2010. Shea Matthews weighs in with his analysis and opinions on today\u2019s sports action…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1141],"tags":[26943,109,25392,158,26945,25395,26946,25167,24065,22116,748,839,1085,26944,26948,22115,1157,22112,22678,22705,26947],"class_list":["post-20698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","tag-adam-pacman-jones","tag-baseball-headlines","tag-basketball-headlines","tag-bet-on-sports","tag-braves-news","tag-football-headlines","tag-ian-desmond","tag-jason-heyward","tag-joey-porter","tag-mlb-news","tag-nba-news","tag-nfl-news","tag-ron-artest","tag-ryan-leaf","tag-shawn-bradley","tag-sports-gossip","tag-sports-handicapping","tag-sports-headlines","tag-todays-sports-headlines","tag-vince-carter","tag-wade-davis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20698"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20698\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108653,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20698\/revisions\/108653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Cardinals. Porter was arrested in Bakersfield, California over the weekend on suspicion of drunk driving and also accused of assaulting an officer and resisting arrest. In theory, this should be a cut-and-dried jail case. Assaulting an officer?<\/p>\n
