Montrezl lived up to his name, and despite making $10 million per year, needed a side-hustle trafficking marijuana in a rental car?!?
His lawyers will probably get him to plead out a deal for a misdemeanor. All they have to prove or suggest he was just getting personal use amount and having extra weed for parties and friends. I have seen this before with other celebrities.

Of course without good lawyers the book would be thrown at him...

Personally, I don’t think “transporting plants across imaginary lines” should be illegal. It’s just the pure stupidity of the risk that astounds me.

Will be interesting to see what happens to these two. Passing out stoned w several guns at the Taco Bell drive through. If that isn’t hitting rock bottom I’m not sure what is

Ex-NFL star allegedly dragged naked woman by hair across hallway

Former NFL running back Frank Gore allegedly grabbed a naked woman by her hair and dragged her across the hallway of an Atlantic City hotel, according to a report.

The altercation took place on July 31, which led to Gore being charged with simple assault. The incident occurred on the 59th floor of the Havana Tower of Tropicana Atlantic City.

Gore allegedly "forcibly" grabbed the woman and "violently" dragged her, TMZ Sports reported, citing police documents. He was not originally arrested, but police said the charges came several days later after further investigation into the incident.

Gore, 39, is expected to be in court in mid-October. He has not commented on the allegations.

So we’ve now got “student” affletes brought in from the Murder Capital to increase the homicide rate in a college town near you. If you happen to come across one of the scholarly gents, be sure to avoid any altercations no matter how minor. They might just decide to shoot rounds indiscriminately into your vehicle.

That is some serious TNB to shoot and kill someone over a minor argument.

McGinest in his role as TV analyst always came across as the genial gentle giant. Another great example of the Tom Iron Rule. And his explanation of his behavior as a mere "lapse in judgment" is comical in its understatement.

There should be warnings for those types of pictures. Just for courtesy for those of us who believe miscegenation is revolting, awful, almost sinful. Seriously.

The warning should be I hope she has a great prenuptial agreement and she saves money separately in case he implodes financially after kicking her ass.


Not that I know anything about the guy but playing the odds, well, you know…..

He claims he "walks with god", while doing that he has had various brushes with the law including a DUI, a sexual assault of a strip club waitress and another DUI. What would he be like if he wasn't walking with god?

Note he has had 2 failed PED tests and has been all around pain in the ass to promote beyond his talent which is admittedly immense.
