"The Jock Itch" with Jasmine Sadry: Kenny Britt Runs From the Law, 'Cops' Style!
DALLAS (105.3 THE FAN) Leading off my "Jock Itch" for Today: Tennessee Titans wide receiver, Kenny Britt, tried to outrun the law in a "Cops" style chase!
Hmmm, let's see. A 22-year-old, directionless kid in the NFL with time on his hands because of the lockout, getting into trouble. Doesn't sound familiar AT ALL (*cough* Dez Bryant *cough*)
Anyway, New Jersey Police tried to pull Kenny over for speeding, early Tuesday morning, but he allegedly hit the gas and kicked off the chase! After a few miles, Kenny just stopped and he and the passenger he was with attempted to WALK away from the car! (Walk?? How about at least SPEED walk if you're not gonna BOLT?!)
During questioning, the officers said that Kenny's passenger tried to make a mad dash for it, which obviously didn't work too well, because he was then arrested for alleged possession of weed and for resisting arrest.
Kenny was arrested and booked for 2nd degree eluding and obstruction, since cops said that he lied about owning and driving the car in question: a 2010 navy blue Porsche Panamera S, which ended up getting impounded.
Kenny was also busted back in January 2010, once again, in New Jersey, for outstanding traffic warrants, an assault claim from a bar fight, and trouble related to bail for a rapper friend of his, Albee Al Robinson.
Moral of the story: It doesn't matter if you were a former 1st round pick and a star at Rutgers…NO ONE messes with Jersey cops and gets away with it! www.foxsports.com
And in OTHER "itch" worthy news…
Because of the lockout, NFL players are taking out high-risk loans to cover their "expenses!"
An investigation done by Yahoo! Sports has found that players from as many as 16 NFL teams have already begun securing these high-interest, short term loans, in anticipation of the lockout.
Check this out! The interest on these loans can be anywhere from 18 to 36 PERCENT, pretty much placing them up there with bad credit cards or even…PAY DAY LOANS!
On top of that, some of the lenders have required players to get insurance policies to cover the loans, just incase they're injured. That can add tens of thousands of bucks to the cost of the loans already!
Yikes! It ain't cheap maintaining the rims on an Escalade or the East Wing of a house, dangit! www.businessinsider.com
Former NFL star Lawrence Taylor is a wholesome little sex offender; not like the other ones who are just vile and dirty!
Well, those aren't the words of Judge William Kelly VERBATIM, but the courts did rule that he's classified as a "low-risk" level 1 sex offender, and therefore, he won't have his photo plastered on the internet.
He was sentenced to six years probation last month, with no jail time, but he must still register for 20 years with that Level 1 classification after convincing the judge to not impose a harsher penalty on him.
Judge Kelly said a huge factor in his less harsh ruling was that he didn't think it was likely that LT would recommit his offense and said that he didn't truly think LT was targeting children when he admitted to having sex with a 16-year-old runaway who'd been prostituted!
Sure, LT. You had NO clue she was underage. I guess the fact that she had a "Bieber Fever" shirt and braces didn't tip you off? www.tmz.com
The Dodgers' Juan Uribe's former landlord is suing him for frying too much fish in his San Francisco apartment, causing $145,000 grand in damages!
Apparently, a late night fish-fry got WAY out of control, resulting in such costly damage (although no word on just WHAT was involved)
Either they were frying up a friggin Marlin in a military grade deep fryer or were having a grease fight with t-shirt cannons, but one thing is probably a safe bet: alcohol was involved….
Anyway, Juan promised to foot the bill when he moved out a while back ago, but the landlord has yet to see a dime from his fish-lovin' behind! www.chicagobreakingsports.com
The Mariners' Milton Bradley was getting upset by the fans and resorted to sticking plugs in his ears, to drown out the boos of the crowd on Saturday when they were facing the Indians!
Man up, Milton!
The crowd was NONE too thrilled when Milton made a costly error earlier in the game. So when they started showing just how displeased they were, Milton tried to get the ump to remove some fans who were heckling him! When he realized that he couldn't stop the barrage of boos, he decided that the only mature, adult thing to do was to shove in some earplugs.
I guess it beats him flipping the fans the bird or just down right quitting on his team, right? Oh, wait… www.myseattlesports.com
Pistons forward, Charlie Villanueva, got down right nasty with the Cavs' Ryan Hollins, in the Monday night match up between Detroit and Cleveland! Things got SO bad, that the cops had to be called in!
Here's how it all went down. Charlie tried to set a screen on Ryan, but Ryan threw his shoulder into Charlie's chest and the two got tangled up. They quickly started shoving each other, leading them BOTH to be ejected.
After the ejections were announced, Charlie completely lost his (you know what) and charged after Ryan! Pistons guard Rodney Stuckey and one of the security guys chased Charlie down and restrained him! Apparently, he was heading towards the Cavaliers' locker room to challenge Ryan in a fight!
As Auburn Hills police jumped in to hold him back, Charlie was yelling, "I will kill that dude! I don't give a (expletive)!"
After the game, Charlie said that he may have overreacted a bit (ya, think??) but Ryan started it first!

The Bulls' Carlos Boozer said that he almost had to beat up Prince once!
Yes, the very same impish singer, Prince, you're thinking of who wears boots with heels.
Carlos said to radio host, Jay Williams, that he let Prince rent out his LA mansion back in 2006 and things got crazy when Prince began making the place into his own.
In Jay's words, he claimed: "Supposedly, Prince changed the front gate to the Prince sign, he changed the master bedroom to a hair salon, he changed the streaming blue waters that led to the front door to purple water, he knocked out walls, he changed the molding on top of the ceiling. Booz was livid. So pissed off, so angry ... He put his Purple Rain stamp on it."
But Carlos played it very diplomatic on the radio saying that Prince is a "Good dude, good tenant. [He] took care of the house his way. And then fixed it back the way I needed it to be. Very good dude."
Well, according to Jay Williams, Carlos wasn't so happy at the time. He said, "Booz was like, 'I was getting ready to go over there and beat this little man down.' And dude was just like 'Here, Boozer, here is a little check for about a million, it'll take care of everything, get it back the way you want it.' And Booz was like , 'This little man is cool as hell.'"
Prince, FYI: it's probably not a good idea to piss NBA players off when you stand 5'1" without your heels… www.yardbarker.com
Step aside, people of BYU, because Jimmer Fredette is just WAY too good for you! Apparently, the school has asked their boy wonder star guard to finish his classes online instead of showing up to class because he's become WAY too big of a distraction with fellow students gawking at him and snapping photos.
His dad, Al, said that things were just getting too disruptive because he can't go anywhere without being recognized.
Aww those cute little Mormons! www.yardbarker.com
And finally…
Don't mess with Phil Mickelson or he'll get ya, especially if you're a donut shop!
He's raised quite the legal firestorm when he discovered that the Krispy Kreme donut chain was using his image without permission!
Last year, when he won the Masters, he made the infamous visit to the Krispy Kreme in Augusta, prompting the picture of him in the drive-thru to go viral all over the internet.
Well, that same picture is all over a billboard display in one of the Augusta Krispy Kreme locations and according to donut sources (yes, there are actually those people around), Phil was PISSED that he didn't even give any approval before his image got plastered all over the display.
One of Phil's people even paid a nice little visit to the violating Krispy Kreme last week to make sure that employees removed EVERY last little picture and threatened them with legal action if they didn't cooperate.
How in the hell can ANYONE ever be mad at a Krispy Kreme when they do SUCH humanitarian deeds for mankind?? www.tmz.com
And THAT'S my "jock itch!"
