I don’t know if it’s just me, but every time I find out about a rich person smoking crack it takes me by surprise. We’ve all known Michael Irvin likes to get his Pookie on from time to time, but now we can include Jimmy Smith into the conversation.

The former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver was pulled over for having “excessive window tint” on his vehicle (which basically means he was Driving While Black), and the officer discovered weed, crack, and powder cocaine inside. Smith is facing drug charges, but ultimately the biggest punishment he’ll face is the embarrassment of joining an exclusive Cracky-Club with Whitney Houston and DMX.

He’ll probably use the typical athlete denial and say one of his friends left it in the car, but the fact that Smith already tested positive for cocaine a few years ago seriously weakens his argument. I hope Jerry Rice is keeping himself real busy in his retirement because it would break my heart if he got caught up in a situation like this.

For the last month or so, many Sportaphile readers haven’t been able to view the new updates on the home page. So unless you follow Sportaphile on Twitter or subscribe to Sportaphile’s RSS feed, you’ve been left out in the dark.

The problem has been fixed, and you should now be able to see the posts you’ve been missing in the last few weeks.

The word Shaqawockeez is now in the American lexicon. Take a look the big cactus stealing the show in the all star pregame.

Sportaphile has been dormant for the last 2 and a half weeks because…. well…. After two years of writing almost every day, I got tired. So I kicked back for a while and completely ignored this site. Everything will resume as normal starting tomorrow.

P.S. – Nikko, if you’re reading this… someone hacked my email (as well as this site, if only they knew how apathetic I am), and your email got deleted in the process. Hit me back so I can handle that thing for you.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Rashad McCants is dating the ugly Kardashian sister. I bet nobody is happier about this recent turn of events more than Reggie Bush, now he can bring his team mates around the in-laws without someone being stuck with Khloe.

If you think I’m being mean to Khloe, check out this tidbit from With Leather…

“Another Kardashian is chasing jocks. Khloe is supposedly dating the Timberwolves Rashad McCants. Which one of the sisters is she? Is she the one that looks like a linebacker?”
