Sports & Rec Off Base: Drugs, spray-on hair and a Miracle
Posted by Justin Cross on Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 12:00 PM
5. Drugs and football
Four Texas Christian University football players were arrested in a campus drug bust. The players are being accused of distributing marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy and prescription drugs to undercover officers. TCU has come to national prominence over the last few years and is set to join the highly competitive Big 12 Conference in the 2012 college football season.
4. Hairline hijinks
Looks as though Bulls forward Carlos Boozer is using some type hair product. The odd thing is it looks like a colored pencil or spray can.
3. Boxers brawling
Heavyweight boxer Dereck Chisora was arrested for fighting
fellow British heavyweight David Haye following a WBC title clash in Munich. Things got rowdy. Things got personal. Chisora
was heard shouting "I am going to shoot David Haye." The boxers face lifelong
bans from the ring and the loss of their boxing licenses.
2. Size matters
Hockey players are known for their fighting prowess. Derek Dorsett went hard after John Scott in a Chicago
Blackhawks-Columbus Blue Jackets game. Scott is listed at 6'8, 270 lbs. The
pestering Dorsett is 5'11, 188 lbs.
The fight was David and Goliath. Women
around George Clooney. The honey badger and, well, anything. They just don't stand
a chance.
1. Miracle wrestler
Kayla Miracle, a sophomore at Culver Academy, made history this past weekend by becoming the first female wrestler to compete in Indiana state championships. Although Miracle lost in the opening round, she's still aiming for a full-nelson on her goal of making it to the 2016 Olympics.
