"He's he’s not an athlete who made a mistake: he’s a criminal who can swim."

Brock Turner, student athlete of Stanford U and aspiring Olympic swimmer, has been serving his six- month sentence for being convicted of sexual assault of an unconscious woman. He tried to blame his raping nature on alcohol, his school and women in general . Unfortunately for him, the prosecution has information contradicting his claims at being an alcohol novice . In other words: he fucking lied . USA Swimming has pretty much made him a pariah . His father claims that this is much ado over " 20 minutes of action ." Six months is lenient. Considering the discovery of his hard-core partying, his proclivity to blame everyone but himself and his dad's disgusting attempt to equate rape to the proverbial hook-up, Turner deserves everything a delusional criminal would have coming.

Say It Ain't So, Tiki Barber

Can't believe this dude left his pregnant wife for an NBC staffer . Thanks for giving Tyler Perry another plot for a new play/movie, man. For the visual-minded, pics of the involved parties can be found here .

The Longest Yard

Now this is an athlete who's a real role model: NEW YORK - Saying he knows what real heroism is, former New York Giants star George Martin began a cross-country walk to raise money for ailing ground zero workers. A captain of the 1987 Super Bowl champions, Martin was cheered on by a few dozen volunteers Sunday as he stepped onto the pedestrian walkway of the George Washington Bridge, which connects Manhattan and New Jersey. "I've been termed a hero for playing a kids' game at a pro level, and that does not rise to the level of heroic," Martin said Saturday as he got ready for his journey. "I think of 9/11, when I saw people respond and put their health, their careers, their lives in jeopardy." Nice to see that some people are using their name and fame for good causes.
