			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a pretty interesting watch, it chronicles how the entire case unfolded, from the very first clue to Michael Vick eventually pleading guilty. It&#8217;s amazing how one man getting pulled over for weed led to another man losing an $140 million dollar sports empire. </p>
<p>After serving a two year jail sentence, and losing every earthly possession, I hope he lands on his feet after he&#8217;s released. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/4449/434388377t220oq0.jpg" alt="" />The man suspected of killing Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams may be going to jail for the rest of his life, all because he simply <a href="http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/may/30/letter-implicates/">couldn&#8217;t keep his mouth shut</a>.</p>
<p>Willie D. Clark is currently incarcerated (on unrelated charges) and decided to write a letter to one of his fellow gang members discussing his role in the killing of Darrent Williams. The problem is, the letter was intercepted by another inmate who then gave the letter to <em>The Rocky Mountain News</em> in hopes of cashing in on a $100,000 reward. </p>
<blockquote><p><em>In the letter, Clark says he is worried someone who saw him shoot &#8220;D-Will&#8221; &#8211; a nickname for Williams &#8211; will start talking to police about the killing.</p>
<p>&#8220;(The person) seen me with the gun and shoot out the whip [car],&#8221; the letter states.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The stupidity doesn&#8217;t end there. <strong>Clark won&#8217;t be able to simply deny he wrote the letter, because he wrote a separate letter to <em>The Rocky Mountain News</em> in the past</strong>. Yes, you read that correctly, <strong>the newspaper already has a sample of his writing</strong> from a letter he wrote to them &#8220;clearing his name&#8221;. </p>
<blockquote><p><em>At the newspaper&#8217;s urging, the source this month turned over a copy of the letter to law enforcement, which conducted a handwriting analysis.</p>
<p>Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey declined to comment on the letter or the investigation Thursday. But a law enforcement source said the writing in the letter matched a handwriting sample police obtained from Clark.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>So yeah&#8230; he&#8217;s a goner,  justice will be served. </p>
<p>R.I.P. Darrent Williams</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/2876/d89bade84c51845ead67459to2.jpg" alt="" />I haven&#8217;t been following the story of New York. Gov. Eliot Spitzer and his call girl/escort very closely, but this news tidbit from the <a href="http://www.suntimes.com/news/sneed/840198,CST-NWS-SNEED13.article">Chicago SunTimes</a> caught my eye. </p>
<p>Apparently in the unsealed FBI affidavits, a big time client of the escort service &#8220;Emperor&#8217;s Club&#8221; from Chicago was mentioned, and Michael Jordan&#8217;s name instantly surfaced as a possible candidate. That&#8217;s powerful stuff right there, just think about it. <strong>All someone has to do is mention a whore&#8217;s name in Chicago and the immediate reaction is &#8220;Michael Jordan&#8221;.</strong></p>
<p>Corporations kill for that kind of name association. </p>
<p>Jordan&#8217;s money grubbing lawyer Frederick Sperling jumped all over this and put the rumors to bed, <em>&#8220;I have just received confirmation from Assistant U.S. Attorney Rita Glavin in New York that our client Michael Jordan is neither a subject nor a target of this investigation.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Michael has the white girl market cornered so thoroughly that you can&#8217;t touch a midwestern gal without going through him first. Mike is doing for Chicago what O.J. did for Los Angeles in the late 80s. The only difference is <a href="http://www.sportaphile.com/2007/09/25/is-michael-jordan-a-deadbeat-daddy/">MJ may love white girls</a>, but O.J. loved white girls to death. <strong>*RIMSHOT!*</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://www.sportaphile.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/marionjoneslt2.jpg' alt='marion jones press conference' />Former track star Marion Jones began her six month federal prison sentence this afternoon at the Federal Medical Center Carswell, located on the Naval Air Station, Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth. It appears Marion got <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/03/07/national/a152401S38.DTL&#038;feed=rss.sports">&#8220;somewhat&#8221; of a deal</a> because this particular prison specializes in medical and mental health services, but has select inmates who don&#8217;t require that kind of care (Jones). </p>
<blockquote><p><em>After frequently denying ever having used performance-enhancing drugs, Jones admitted she had lied to federal investigators in November 2003. Jones also admitted lying about her knowledge of the involvement of Tim Montgomery, the father of her older son, in a scheme to cash millions of dollars worth of stolen or forged checks.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I figured this would be the perfect chance to take a look back at our profile of <strong><a href="http://www.sportaphile.com/2008/01/11/lets-have-a-look-at-marion-jones-prison-mates/">Marion&#8217;s potential prison mates</a></strong>. Big Shirley will give Marion all the love and care she can muster. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://www.sportaphile.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/debbie-clemens-and-roger-clemens.jpg' alt='Roger Clemens and wife Debbie Clemens' /><strong>Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.</strong> We should all be mad at Roger for insulting our intelligence. </p>
<p>So we&#8217;ve learned a few things today as a result of the <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/02/13/couricandco/entry3826349.shtml">congressional meeting on Capitol hill</a>. </p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Andy Pettitte is terrified of going to jail, even if it means ratting out his best friend. He&#8217;s singing like a canary to get this mess behind him. I hope Roger never did anything &#8220;at bandcamp&#8221;, or Andy&#8217;s telling. </p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Debbie Clemens admitted to taking two &#8216;test shots&#8217; of HGH because Brian McNamee suggested it. She made it seem like he forced her into taking this, when in reality her vanity issues were the most likely cause. </p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Although his best friend, wife, and personal trainer have all admitted to dealing with performance enhancing drugs, Roger claims he knew absolutely nothing about any of it.</p>
<p><strong>I believe this extraordinary act of lying in the face of mountainous evidence puts Clemens in the &#8220;O.J. Simpson&#8221; category.</strong> Or Shaggy in the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR4PGt9oOto">&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t me&#8221;</a> video from back in the day. She caught you naked on the bathroom floor Shaggy&#8230; just admit it!!</p>
<p>Whatever happened to friends to the end, like <strong><a href="http://www.sportaphile.com/2007/11/21/greg-anderson-is-hip-hop-appointed-as-spokesman-for-the-stop-snitchin-campaign/">Greg Anderson aka G-Money</a></strong>? Greg did two stints in jail to get Barry Bonds&#8217; back, refusing to talk to prosecutors who were hot on his boy&#8217;s trail. </p>
<p>Andy Pettitte is not hip hop. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve had my fair share of stalkers (okay okay, just one), so I can relate to Michael Jordan&#8217;s new lawsuit against Lisa A. Miceli. <strong>I believe instead of taking her to court (<a href="http://www.sportaphile.com/2007/09/25/is-michael-jordan-a-deadbeat-daddy/">or Maury</a>), he should have broken down his feelings in a way she understands.</strong> Theres no song on earth that explains to a woman that she is a sideline ho better than <em>&#8220;What these b-tches want&#8221;</em> by Sir DMX. </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s analyze the lyrics by the esteemed scholar from Yonkers, Mr. X</p>
<blockquote><p>I f-ck with these h0es from a distance<br />
The instant they start to catch feelings<br />
I start to stealin they sh-t<br />
then I&#8217;m out just like a thief in the night<br />
I sink my teeth in to bite<br />
You thinkin life, I&#8217;m thinkin more like &#8211; whassup tonight?<br />
<strong>Come on ma, you know I got a wife<br />
and even though that p-ssy tight I&#8217;m not gon&#8217; jeapordize my life</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Michael was trying to get Lisa to kick rocks so Juanita wouldn&#8217;t run off with half of his fortune, but his resistance was futile. In the second verse of the song, Mr. X lists off the names of his various conquests, which further details the insignificance of just one woman. </p>
<p><strong>(if you&#8217;re at work, it would probably be best if you didn&#8217;t watch the video.. or at least put some headphones on)</strong><br />
<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Xadpmrfl6B8&#038;rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Xadpmrfl6B8&#038;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></p>
<p><img src='http://www.sportaphile.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/juanita-and-burt.thumbnail.jpg' alt='Juanita And Burt' /><br />
On a completely unrelated note, doesn&#8217;t Jordan&#8217;s ex wife Juanita look like Burt from Sesame Street?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a long layoff&#8230; This Weeks Losers is back!! Mainly because this is the most efficient way of making fun of people. </p>
<p><strong>1. Randy Moss&#8217; Beard</strong><img src="http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/6849/randymossbeardnq1.jpg" alt="" /><br />
Forget about going to court over your alleged battery of a woman. If you don&#8217;t shave that nappy ass beard I&#8217;m going to sue you myself. When your neck looks like Roy Jones&#8217; chest&#8230; there is a problem. </p>
<p><strong>2. Dana Stubblefield</strong><br />
The former San Francisco 49er <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080118/ap_on_sp_fo_ne/fbn_athletes_steroids">plead guilty to lying to federal investigators</a> today, in connection to the BALCO fiasco. I&#8217;ve always thought Stubblefield was an overrated player, who benefited from playing next to Bryant Young. This charge will gain him <strong>100 points</strong> in the Criminal Fantasy League.</p>
<p>The feds really have it out for rich black people in the last 12 months, off the dome I can name a bunch who have charged with federal crimes.</p>
<p>- Michael Vick<br />
- Marion Jones<br />
- T.I.<br />
- DJ Drama<br />
- Barry Bonds</p>
<p>I&#8217;m almost positive I&#8217;m missing a few&#8230; </p>
<p><strong>3. The Cincinnati Bengals</strong><img src="http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/6413/chadjohnsoncf6db8.jpg" alt="" /><br />
Stop pissing off your BEST PLAYER!!! It looks like Chad&#8217;s been campaigning to be traded, even though coach Marvin Lewis said it&#8217;s not happening. Chad took this photo of him holding up a Washington Redskins jersey with his name written on the back. Hmmmm. (thanks to <a href="http://www.blacksportsonline.com/">BlackSportsOnline</a> for the pic)</p>
<p><strong>4. Hershel Walker</strong><br />
The former NFL running back is releasing a book this summer that reveals he suffers from <a href="http://cbs.sportsline.com/collegefootball/story/10585328/rss">multiple personality disorder</a>&#8230;. We don&#8217;t believe you Hersh, you need more people. How is it your closest friends never knew about this or even suspected anything was wrong?</p>
<blockquote><p> &#8220;I&#8217;m probably one of his closest friends and that&#8217;s news to me,&#8221; said Frank Ros, who was captain of Georgia&#8217;s 1980 national championship team. &#8220;I knew he was working on a book but I just thought it was about football. He does 100 things at once and always has projects going on, but that blows me away.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<strong>5. Terrell Owens</strong><br />
LOL. I&#8217;m a big fan but still&#8230; </p>
<p><strong>6. Golfweek and LSU Fans</strong><br />
You can&#8217;t put a noose on your cover and expect everyone to be okay with that&#8230;. and speaking of race&#8230; check out the LSU fans in this video. This is exactly why I&#8217;m glad I live in California. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sportaphile hasn&#8217;t updated the Criminal Fantasy League standings since mid-december. As a result, tons and tons of things have piled up. At this point it would take forever to deliver my Pulitzer Prize winning commentary to accompany each story. So we&#8217;ll cover them in rapid fire succession.<br />
<strong><img src="http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/4766/8feddkxdfz3.jpg" alt="" /><br />
Did we miss any stories? If so, don&#8217;t be afraid to send an email or reply in the comments!</strong> The full updated standings can be found at the bottom of this post. </p>
<p>Sportaphile is gaining tons of new visitors each month, so if you have no idea what the CFL is, <a href="http://www.sportaphile.com/criminal-fantasy-league/">CLICK HERE</a> to get the lowdown &#038; rules. </p>
<p><strong>Football</strong><br />
New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss has been <a href="http://kstp.com/article/stories/S315681.shtml?cat=118">accused of battering a longtime friend</a> and preventing her from seeking medical attention. Although he hasn&#8217;t been arrested yet, we DO give points for &#8220;alleged&#8221; crimes in a reduced capacity. If he is eventually charged, we will update this point total to the appropriate amount. For now we can chalk up <strong>25 points</strong> for Randy and the football squad.</p>
<p>Tennessee dumbass Pacman Jones allegedly punched a divorce lawyer in the face earlier this month. Like Randy Moss, he has not been arrested and will receive a reduced allegation penalty. <strong>25 points</strong> for dumb dumb.</p>

That&#8217;s <strong>100 points</strong>.</p>
<p>Oklahoma starting defensive tackle DeMarcus Granger was sent home before the Fiesta Bowl in Arizona. Turns out Granger went shopping at a local mall, and decided to use his <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/bowls07/news/story?id=3174861&amp;campaign=rss&amp;source=ESPNHeadlines">five finger discount.</a> Yeah, that&#8217;ll look really good on your resume. /sarcasm That&#8217;s <strong>50 points</strong>.</p>
<p>Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Stockar McDougle is being charged with <a href="http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/story/10551660/rss">felony and misdemeanor battery charges</a> after pushing a store owner and employee, over a billing dispute. Thats <strong>150 points</strong>.</p>

<img src='http://www.sportaphile.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/bigshirl.jpg' alt='Big Shirley' /><br />
When Marion Jones starts serving her 6 month jail sentence n March, the first week of incarceration will be crucial. The friends or enemies she makes during that time will determine how smoothly her visit will go. Lets have a look at the potential characters she will come into contact with. </p>

<strong>Notes:</strong> Big Shirley is doing 10 years after finding her husband in bed with the mail lady. She beat them to the point of unconsciousness with the giant wooden spoon she had hanging on the wall. Shirley is highly respected behind the walls, she works in the kitchen and won&#8217;t hesitate to use utensils or hot grease as a weapon.<br />
<span id="more-314"></span><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following are things that deserved to be mentioned but didn&#8217;t deserve their own post&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/3508/tennis20hingis20doping2fa1.jpg" alt="" /><br />
I took slight pleasure in learning Martina Hingis was <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/sports/tennis/2008-01-04-hingis-banned_N.htm?csp=34">banned from tennis</a> for two years today due to a <a href="http://www.sportaphile.com/2007/11/01/martina-hingis-retires-after-testing-positive-for-cocaine-at-wimbledon/">positive cocaine test</a>. She claims shes &#8220;100% innocent&#8221; yet she&#8217;s choosing NOT to dispute the positive test and has already retired. Good riddance liar!</p>
<p>Although I&#8217;m not a Hingis fan, I have to say .. suspended for TWO YEARS just for a little coke?  <strong>If the NFL and NBA had drug policies this tough there wouldn&#8217;t be anyone left to play</strong>. They would have sentenced Ricky Williams to death already. </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>The stripper chick who leaked photos of <a href="http://www.sportaphile.com/2007/09/19/oscar-de-la-hoya-half-naked-dressed-in-drag-fishnets-and-pumps/">Oscar De La Hoya in drag</a> is desperately trying to <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2008/01/04/stripper-to-de-la-hoya-get-in-the-ring/">get a public trial</a> to settle <img src="http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/7600/oscarlq6.jpg" alt="" />the dispute she has with him. But Oscar wants to keep everything on the hush and settle with a private arbitrator. </p>
<p>If he truly wanted things to be discreet, why in the hell did he take the photos in the first place? Or just throw a few bucks at her to shut her up when this all started. I always hear 50 Cent talking about his ruthless Jewish lawyers, aka the J-J-J-JEW UNIT&#8230;. maybe they should extend their services to Oscar. </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<img src="http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/8673/kimboan4.jpg" alt="" /><br />
Kimbo Slice and Tank Abbot were originally <span id="more-298"></span>supposed to fight October 12th of last year, but Tank was forced to pull out due to injuries. Slice went on to destroy Bo Cantrell shortly after. But now <a href="http://samcaplan.proelite.com/86283">Tank and Kimbo are set to fight once again</a>, February 16th live on Showtime. Much like Fernando Vargas&#8217; fight against Ricardo Mayorga, this is gonna be a BRAWL. Seriously, the odds of this one lasting more than 3 minutes is slim to none, someones getting KTFO. </p>
<p>I highly suggest you watch this. </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
<img src="http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/5672/willisog2.jpg" alt="" /><br />
Patrick Willis won <a href="http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/story/10558926/rss">defensive rookie of the year</a>, like I predicted. It was a no brainer. If you&#8217;re a football fan, you&#8217;ll be hearing this name A LOT in the future. This kid has all the tools to be a hall of famer one day if he can stay healthy. Hopefully Mike Singletary won&#8217;t leave the 49ers this season, Willis is learning a lot under his tutelage. </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
