Lebron’s pretty good, but…

It was pretty much the most baller move I’ve ever seen in my life. Like this guy all of a sudden had all the answers to every question the world around. Lebron’s trey was nice, but I’ll never forget that pimpin move by the scrub.

felixbobbleheadAdmit it, the spark is gone. You’ve strayed from Fox Sports Northwest on those lonely weeknights, and you haven’t been back to Safeco Field since the opening series. You’re forgetting about the 2009 Mariners, and that’s not okay.

To sum it up in the most basic of senses (without all the legal bull), Leaf is in trouble for obtaining prescription drugs without a prescription, for dealing prescription drugs, and for breaking into an apartment to steal prescription drugs. The burglary charge is the one that hurts Leaf the most. Early speculation is that he could be facing three-to-five years in federal prison if convicted of all charges, with the burglary charge carrying the heftiest sentence.

According to the Texas-based reporter who first broke this story, Leaf often met with recently injured players from the West Texas A&M football program and offered to buy the unused portions of painkillers they had been prescribed by doctors. Some players agreed to sell Leaf their drugs, while others did not.
