His time with the Tennessee Titans was particularly tumultuous. Sports figure(s) involved: Adam "Pacman" JonesĬincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones has worked for years to shed the ruined reputation that he earned during the early stages of his career. So instead of cheering on his teammates, or thinking about the things he could've done to help himself get better, he just decided to chase some tail.during the playoffs! We're going to go out on a limb here and say that this also may have had something to do with Brian Cashman telling A-Rod to shut the fuck up. This came after Alex had been benched in the eighth inning because of his poor performance. But his troubles really started back in October when, amid a six-game hitting slump, A-Rod decided to try and boost his batting average in a different way.ĭuring Game 1 of the ALCS, he tried to get the phone numbers of two girls sitting behind the Yankees dugout by having a ballboy throw a baseball to them with Rodriguez's phone number written on it. His connection to the Miami-based doping clinic Biogenesis of America has earned him much, well-deserved flack and, due to injuries, Rodriguez hasn't been able to use his on-field production to help silence his critics. Yankees faithful haven't been the biggest fans of A-Rod for the past year and, honestly, you can't really blame them. Sports figure(s) involved: Alex Rodriguez If you can convince a talented athlete to abstain from sex for four years, then you can sell water to a well. Honestly, when you have rules like that in place, we just give credit to their coaches for being able to recruit any players at all. Yeah, you read that right, and if that seems a little bit crazy to you, then you're definitely not alone, but at BYU, students are required to sign an honor code that bars them from engaging in pre-marital sex, along with using drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. And why was he suspended? Oh, ya know, for having pre-marital sex with his girlfriend. 3 national ranking before the gifted power forward found himself suspended from the team just before the 2011 NCAA Tournament.
And no one knows that better than former Cougars big man, Brandon Davies.ĭuring the 2011 season, Davies was paired up with National Player of the Year, Jimmer Fredette, and helped lead the Cougers to a No. However, what may be the normal college experience for most students around the country isn't par for the course at the devoutly Mormon Brigham Young University. Sports figure(s) involved: Brandon DaviesĬollege: that time of our lives when the beer is cheap, classes are brutal, and we find ourselves overly concerned with how exactly we're going to impress the opposite sex on any given night.
But after a lengthy trial, the judge ruled against him, and Mosley eventually stepped down from his post in 2009.
When word got out and the videotape of his rendezvous starting circulating around the Internet, Mosley tried to have it removed on the grounds that he hadn't been given proper warning of the story in advance by News of the World. The son of Sir Oswald, a close friend to Hitler during his time in power, Mosley has always tried to disassociate himself with his father's questionable past, at least publicly. Unfortunately for Mosley, unlike reports of Elvis getting abducted by aliens or other, popular tabloid fare, this story actually turned out to be true. The former president of the FIA -the governing agency of motor sports organizations like Formula One Racing -was the subject of much public ridicule and criticism when a videotape featuring him engaging in a Nazi-themed orgy with five prostitutes was discovered by the English tabloid, News of the World. Mosley may take the cake when it comes to choosing the most bizarre incident on this list (though Marv Albert is damn close). Following poor results on the field, and pressure from the office of the Colorado governor, the athletic department had no trouble forcing head coach Gary Barnett out in 2005. Probes conducted by the university later revealed that sex and alcohol played a major part in Colorado's recruiting tactics, with players and coaches going so far as to enlist escort services and strippers to help show players a good time. In fact, the women claimed that the recruits had been led to believe that sex was to be expected from them. During recruiting visits to the school, players from the team would take prospective recruits out to parties on campus, and in two particular incidents, the recruits were accused of raping women present at the parties. The worst, and most unfortunate example of this crooked behavior came out of the Colorado Buffaloes football program in the late '90s and early 2000s. Recruiting among big-time programs in the NCAA can be, and often is, a pretty shady game. Sports figure(s) involved: Colorado Football Program
