Just call Troy Polamalu the man with the million dollar hair.

The long, flowing black hair that tumbles out of Polamalu's helmet and down his back -- it's nearly three feet long -- has been insured for $1 million by Head and Shoulders, the shampoo brand that is endorsed by the Pittsburgh Steelers safety.

The insurance was obtained through Lloyd's of London, which did not reveal what must be done to Polamalu's hair for anyone to collect on the policy.

Naked football player tased and arrested for trespassing


An Oregon State football player won't be suiting up this fall. Although, that may be the way he prefers to play.

Tyler Patrick Thomas, 19, was dismissed from the football team after he was arrested for trespassing in an area woman's home.

Thing is, this wasn't your everyday trespass. Thomas was in the 32-year-old woman's house, naked, and in a three-point stance. You know, the one where football players spread their legs, bend over and place one hand on the ground before launching an opposition play? Um, yes, that one.

As you probably guessed, Thomas was drunk when this all went down and the police were not impressed. This was not the Montana native's first alcohol-related offense (he was cited for underage possession last year), but this one certainly ended much worse. He's now facing charges for first-degree criminal trespass, second-degree criminal mischief and resisting arrest.

Antonio Cromartie claims that his infamous interview on Hard Knocks, you know, the one where he has trouble remembering the names of his kids because he has so many, was re-shot by the show’s director.

Cromartie claims that on the first take, he had no trouble rattling off the names and ages of his eight children. But, according to Cromartie, he was asked to do it a second time by the director, because he didn’t pause enough between names.

"Nah, I didn’t have trouble. I mean, they asked me to pause. I had nailed it the one time before, but they had to redo it and they just told me to pause between each one of [the names]."

HBO’s spokesman, however, maintains that everything you see on Hard Knocks is factual.

USF's Ford arrested for driving (his moped) without license

Driving infractions have caught up with USF running back Mike Ford again, as the junior was arrested on campus early Thursday morning and booked on a misdemeanor charge of driving without a valid license.

According to USF police, Ford was stopped at 12:24 a.m. for riding a moped on the sidewalk on campus and did not have a driver's license with him. Ford had been cited by USF police in September for not having a license with him but was only given a citation; this time, he was arrested. The arrest report states that he was transported to jail "with no issues." He was released at 5:58 a.m. on $250 bond. USF is in the middle of final exams for the fall semester this week.

"I'm disappointed he was driving his moped without a license. He should know better," USF coach Jim Leavitt said Thursday afternoon.

2009-09-26The_GoonsSECNuisanceCrime Link3Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl has apologized for a joking remark that linked the rural home of one his players to the Ku Klux Klan.

The Volunteers’ fifth-season coach was caught on camera Thursday by WBIR-TV during a charity fundraising event describing the challenge of shaping a team of players from different backgrounds.

"I’ve got a tough job," the Boston native said. "I’ve got to put these guys from different worlds together, right? I’ve got guys from Chicago, Detroit. I’m talking about the ’hood! And I’ve got guys from Grainger County, where they wear the hood!"

Blount was suspended for all remaining games on Friday for punching Boise State defensive end Byron Hout in the jaw following the 16th-ranked Ducks’ 19-8 loss to the 14th-ranked Broncos the night before.

I am busting for the suspension, violence against fan for going after the Boise fans in a rage and off field humiliations for the sobbing.
2009-08-28IrvinSucksSECNuisanceCrime Link3A minor league baseball team changed a Tim Tebow promotion after receiving a cease and desist e-mail from the University of Florida.

Fort Myers Miracle fans expected "What Would Tim Tebow Do?" night Wednesday, but the theme was changed to "What Would T.T. Do?"

2009-08-25IrvinSucksSun BeltNuisanceCrime Link3This is pretty funny ... new coach Isiah Thomas and the rest of his FIU athletic department have threatened to boycott the Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament because they found out that they have to play UNC instead of Ohio State.

"We will not be bullied into a unilateral decision to play North Carolina after we already agreed to play Ohio State," Garcia said.

I don't know if this is more of a humiliation for FIU or the community college known as Ohio State.
2009-08-11The_GoonsBig EastNuisanceCrime Link3Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino told police he had sex and paid for an abortion for the woman accused of trying to extort him for $10 million, a newspaper reported Tuesday.

The police report said he denied allegations by Sypher that he raped her after the restaurant closed and at another time somewhere else. He said later he gave her $3,000 for an abortion.

Busting for the married Pitino's infidelity, crimes against nature for the abortion and wrong place at wrong time for being the victim of her extortion attempt.

2009-08-04The_CriminalWACNuisanceCrime Link3Hawaii coach Greg McMackin uses gay slur, appologizes, gets suspended, and is humiliated. Oh and he is stupid. He said so himself.

’What I was trying to do was be funny and it wasn’t funny," he said, according to a recording of the conversation posted on the Idaho Statesman’s website. "It’s not funny. Even more, it isn’t funny to me. I was trying to make a joke and it was a bad choice of words. And I really, really feel bad about it. ... It was really stupid.’"
2008-11-30IrvinSucksGiantsNuisanceCrime Link3Giants' receiver Plaxico Burress shot himself in the leg while illegally carrying a handgun in a Manhattan night club. Antonio Pierce was with him at the time and allegedly helped him hide/dispose of the illegal gun.

He apparently OD'd on sleeping pills and was taken to the hospital. He then denied it was him, saying that it was actually his teenage daughter. The investigating police chief has refuted that story, saying that Isiah is "throwing her under the bus", and that his officers can tell the difference between a 47 year old male and a young female.

2008-07-24IrvinSucksACCNuisanceCrime Link3Rudy Giuliani's son was kicked off the Duke golf team for flipping his putter towards his golf bag and driving too fast leaving a golf course. He also apparently played a team football game harder than the other players liked.

Giuliani responded by filing a 198-page lawsuit against Duke, alleging, among other things, a "Lord of the Flies" scheme developed by the coach that would allow for Giuliani's reinstatement.
2008-06-20IrvinSucksACCNuisanceCrime Link3A circuit court judge ruled that Duke football is so horrific that any replacement at all would suffice, such that Duke does not owe Louisville an alleged $450,000 for breaking their scheduling contract with 3 games reamining.

******

Duke’s lawyers argued the Blue Devils, which have a record of 6-45 over the past five seasons, were so bad that any team would be a suitable replacement.

Judge Shepherd agreed in his summary:

"At oral argument, Duke (with a candor perhaps more attributable to good legal strategy than to institutional modesty) persuasively asserted that this is a threshold that could not be any lower. Duke’s argument on this point cannot be reasonably disputed by Louisville."
2008-05-19Gold_ToothBig 10NuisanceCrime Link3Purdue Safety Torri Williams has been suspended indefinitely from the team after stealing condoms on May 7 from Pay Less Super Market.
