Lots of activity for the CFL in the last week or two, including the infamous Mitchell Report. This turned out to be a little trickier than I originally anticipated due to two main issues.

1. The scoring of the CFL is divided into two sections, alleged crimes and proven cases. Thats not to say the alleged cases didn’t happen. But at the end of the day, if you can’t prove it, you can’t prove it. So in this instance unless someone tests positive, gets caught red handed with the drug, or admits to using, there is no proof.

2. Some of the guys mentioned in the report had already been outed (Barry Bonds, Sheffield, Giambi, Matt Williams etc etc).

So after sorting out who admitted to using, who we already knew about, I came up with the following numbers.

- 88 players were named in the report
- 8 players had already been outed, or alleged prior to its release (that leaves 80).
- 12 of those 80 players admitted to using performance enhacing drugs.

12 confessions equal 1,200 points (100 each)
68 remaining allegations equal 3,400 points (50 pts each)

That’s a grand total of 4,600 points for the Baseball in the Criminal Fantasy League in regards to the Mitchell Report.

This point total will continue to grow as more players cave into the pressures and admit to using performance enhancing drugs.

Arkansas State basketball star Adrian Banks was arrested for firing a gun. He claims he found the gun during a fight, and instead of hiding it or leaving, he started shooting in the air to empty the gun of its bullets and protect his team mates. Smart….. real smart. This is 50 points for the basketball squad.

Brandon Rush of the Kansas Jayhawks was arrested for failing to appear in court for traffic charges. The charges stem from Rush being pulled over in October for speeding, and driving on the wrong side of the road. 50 points more for the B-Ballers.

Rick Adelman’s son, R.J. Adelman who is currently an assistant coach for the Houston Rockets, was charged with with drunken driving a week and a half ago. He’s since taken a leave of absence from the team. I’m not sure if he’s getting his mind right, or if they made him take it so they can fire him later. That’s 50 points for the B-Ball squad.

Yemi Babalola of Texas A&M was charged with two aggravated robbery counts and one count of misdemeanor marijuana possession a week and a half ago. That’s 250 points for the Football squad.

————

Broncos punter Todd Sauerbrun got into it with a cab driver, and ended up being charged with simple assault. Poor guy, punters are the wussiest players on the team so they have to take their aggression out on somebody right? Thats 50 points for the footballers.
