1. NFL Hypocrite?
According to a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol, former NFL and Fresno State football player Lorenzo Neal was reportedly driving with a blood-alcohol content over the legal driving limit when he crashed his car into a pole on July 4. Neal, now retired, is the chief information officer for a company called Safe Ride Solutions, a confidential ride service for drunk drivers. Let's hope he wasn't on duty at the time of the accident.

LeBron James finally showed the fight and fortitude he was missing in this year's NBA Finals.
