This is something you don’t see every day. While J.D. Drew may have had fans throw batteries at him, he never had a guy smash him on the head with a stick. And that’s exactly what happened in the KHL on Sunday. During a playoff game between Avtomobilist Ekaterinburg and Salavat Yulaev Ufa, Salavat Yulaev backup goalie Vitaly Kolesnik was attacked by a crazy fan.

We’re in the doldrums between the combine and the NFL Draft. Thankfully, we have Ben Roethlisberger to help us pass the time. For the second offseason in a row, Roethlisberger is facing allegations of sexual assault. But he says that his contact with a Georgia College & State student was not “consummated.”

Is it surprising that a guy named Krazy Horse went crazy? That’s probably why he spells his name with a capital K. Krazy Horse AKA Charles Bennett was arrested on Monday for suspicion of felony aggravated battery for attacking his training partner.
Mr. Krazy has had a number of run-ins with the law. If there was a fantasy league for crime, Charles Bennett might be the number one overall pick. He’s been arrested for traffic violations, drug distribution, kidnapping, and battery upon a pregnant female. He must be doing something right if he’s not in jail with a resume like that. But that might change after the most recent incident described by Sherdog.com:
“During routine sparring, tempers flared between Charles and the other fighter, and Charles ended up getting dropped by the larger training partner. They were quickly broken up and Charles left the mat, got dressed and left the building. He returned about 15 minutes later, walked down to the training area and pulled out a heavy piece of steel he must have found in the parking lot and began attacking the other fighter (from behind) with intent to do serious damage. He was tackled by two other fighters and disarmed.”
Bennett is actually a pretty small dude at 5′5″ and 160 pounds. Though, he has to be awesome at fighting since he has 22 wins in his MMA career. He’s probably much more effective with a piece of steel in his hands too.

So I know I’m late on this and I apologize for that. But I started the photoshop of his picture and had to go through with the post. Former New York Knick Tim Thomas was recently enjoying a meal at Denny’s when a customer greeted him. That’s when things took a nasty turn.
Thomas was getting Denny’s at 3AM with his posse when the incident occurred. A customer noticed Thomas and said, “Hey, what’s up?” Members of Thomas’ crew warned the customer not to talk to the rich ass NBA player. That’s when Thomas decided to throw a chair into a crowd of patrons and hit a woman. One of his posse members punched a customer too.
The manager of the Denny’s also said that Thomas and co. had been at the restaurant on Monday night. They were also rowdy then. I guess Tim Thomas likes to get hammered at the club then stuff his face with pancakes. Could there be any other reason for 3AM Denny’s trip with his crew?

I guess every famous person has a stalker these days. Bob Uecker, voice of the Brewers and actor in Major League movies, had a woman named Ann Ladd following him around. In 2006, a Milwaukee judge ruled Ladd couldn’t go to Brewers games and had to stay 500 feet away from Uecker at all times. Here’s how the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette described the stalking:
Mr. Uecker said Ms. Ladd approached him after games he worked, hiding and then jumping out unexpectedly to talk to him. She once followed him to a road series between the Brewers and Pittsburgh Pirates, staying on the same floor of his hotel and finding him at the pool.
Since when is it a crime to hide and jump out unexpectedly at people you adore? Isn’t this America? In any case, it’s probably true that Ann Ladd is crazy. First off, she’s really, really scary looking. She also wrote this letter. She had complained that the restraining order violated her constitutional right to travel… and lost. And if you’re so inclined, you can visit her website. There she outlines how Bob Uecker has fabricated all of his claims.

As you may know, television’s Tila Tequila is suing the Charger’s Shawne Merriman. It may be for the publicity, money or justice… or some combination of the three. In any case, the paparazzi are following her around.
These pictures aren’t all that exciting but I had to post them given her choice of eyewear. Ms. Tequila seems to be wearing some sort of space goggles. They look like bedazzled old people glasses. In any case, you can see more pics of the reality star after the jump.

Tim Lincecum was pulled over for speeding this week with a small amount of marijuana and a pipe. As a result, he was facing a $250 fine for possession and a $122 fine for the speeding violation.
Turns out that the speeding was the only charge that will stick. The Clark County District Attorney has dropped the marijuana charge. Here’s what DA Grant Hansen said about the dropped charge:
“Any Joe blow would get (this deal). The way we see it, we can do something to him or we can do something for him. If we can give him a little leniency the first time, in my opinion, it goes further for being law-compliant in the future than if we kick him in the teeth.”
Hansen indicated that about 10-20 similar marijuana possession cases were dropped PER WEEK in the county. Technically, Lincecum agreed to plead guilty of the paraphernalia charge for his pipe with the drug possession charge being dropped. It’s unclear if the Giants plan to punish him for the incident.

Andre agassi loves to party
Does this look like a man who would use methamphetamine? By now, you may know that Andre Agassi has revealed that he used meth in 1997.
The story is pretty incredible. Back in the day, Agassi employed an “assistant” named “Slim” who regularly used meth. The former tennis star was down in the dumps when he decided to hit Slim’s stash. He later wrote a letter to the ATP in which he claimed he had accidentally taken the substance.
Agassi’s revelation is about a 7 out of 10 on the surprisingly scale. I’m more shocked that it was shaved-head Andre Agassi who used drugs rather than flamboyant long-haired Agassi. It’s also ridiculous that the ATP bought his bullsh*t story and got off the hook. One has to wonder if Richard Gasquet really “accidentally” ingested cocaine. I think not.

Winning a marathon must be nice. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Corina Canitz won the 2009 Lakefront Marathon. However, Canitz was the third woman to cross the finish line.
Cassie Peller and Jennifer Goebel finished with better times. Unfortunately, Peller and Goebel were both disqualified for infractions. Peller, who finished first, was DQ’d for taking a water bottle from a friend. Goebel was stripped of her cash prize for using an iPod near the end of the race.

You may or may not know that Cleveland Browns receiver Braylon Edwards is beefing with LeBron James’ “people.” Nobody can be sure exactly how the rift began. Frankly, I’m not so sure anybody cares.
The bad blood became public this week when reports emerged claiming Edwards has punched a friend of LeBron’s. This was later confirmed by by alleged victim and LeBron. In response to the incident, King James released a statement aimed at the former Michigan receiver:
“I’ve never crossed paths with Braylon before, but it seems like there’s a little jealousy going on with Braylon and me and my friends. I have no idea why. I’ve never said anything to Braylon at all. But for him to do that is very childish. My friend is 130 pounds. Seriously. It’s like hitting one of my kids. It doesn’t make sense.”
Basically, it sounds like Braylon was mad that one of LeBron’s underlings was giving him a hard time at the door of a club. Edwards’ name was not included in the police report and there are no charges pending against him. So it looks like Braylon will avoid legal and potential NFL disciplinary repercussions. I just hope this issue is resolved with Braylon getting punched in the head.

Philadelphia fans are well-known for their… fanaticism. Occasionally, that enthusiasm turns bad. That was the case this weekend when a bus ride back from a Flyers game in New Jersey became a magnet for violence.
First, a random guy in a Brodeur jersey decided to arbitrarily attack Philly fans in line for the bus. After a short scuffle, the fight was broken up by police. It seemed like that would be the end of the violence — but they hadn’t made it back to Philadelphia yet.
Upon returning to the City of Brotherly Love, the bus was greeted by brawling Flyers fans. At some point, one Flyers fan ended up stabbing another one in the stomach. An off-duty police officer was also beaten in the altercation.
The Flyers fan slash stabber was described as a white man about 6′1″ weighing 300 pounds with tattoos on his arms and across his knuckles. Sounds just about right. You stay classy, Philadelphia!

Jason Spezza is a great hockey player but for me he’s most notable for the hilariously excited pronunciation of his name in NHL08. He’s actually a pretty good hockey player too and is a member of the Canadian National Hockey Team. However, Spezza found himself mentioned in the news this weekend for a completely different reason. Spezza’s brother Matt (above right) and his buddy were involved in a high speed chase this weekend. When they nearly collided with a distraught women, she told them that a man in another vehicle had threatened her. The men then proceeded to chase some guy in a Pontiac Wave at speed over 100 miles per hour. The driver, Ryan O’Connor, said that the dispatcher never told him to stop chasing the perp. Thumbs up to the boys for their courage. Although, this seems like a pretty stupid idea.
