Athletes love the limelight

Apparently athletes will do whatever it takes to be in the limelight. Do some of us just not watch television and realize that as an athlete anything, and I mean anything bad you do will be on the news. You will be exposed and you will have to suffer the consequences at some time.

Adam "Pacman" Jones obviously didn't teach anyone anything.

Michael Vick well let's not go there.

I mean there are many others thave have gotten in trouble in the past but it seems like this year it's been the most high profile guys. The newest and baddest name of all:

BARRY BONDS...he has been indicted and now his fate will be in the hands of all those fans he never cared about. He may never see a day in prison, but I think he should be banned from baseball ala Pete Rose. Bonds definately has no business in the Hall of Fame and heck take ALL his records away.

On a local note: Just when you think Fresno State athletics are turning things around, they go south. Jason Shirley (football team) gets a DUI and hit-n-run charges. He's suspended from the team for the rest of the year only to be reinstated. A day after he's reinstated he's pulled over and cited for driving with a suspended license. Not a smart move.

Rekalin Sims was arrested for allegedly beating up and robbing a disabled man. Sims attorney continues to say Sims had no knowledge of the robbery. Sims is currently suspended indefinately.

Oh Fresno State why are we always in the spotlight for negative things.

Here's a plus; Fresno State linebacker Marcus Riley had the biggest hit I have ever seen on quarterback Colt Brennan. All you on the east coast were asleep when did happened and missed it. Check it out below!!
