Sports Moron of the Week

He was arrested and booked on charges of reckless driving, excessive speeding and failure to use a child seat. He was released from jail after a few hours.

I would think some child endangerment charges could stick too.

When last we heard from former Dallas Cowboys QB Quincy Carter, he was starting all over (again) down in South Texas. Two weeks before Christmas, he signed a contract with the Rio Grande Valley Dorados of arenafootball2, whose GM, Grant W. Buckborough, welcomed him as a savior: "Not only do we welcome a big name, but we welcome a guy with a tremendous arm who we hope will guide us deep into the playoffs."

But earlier this week, the league's owners voted him out -- said he was ineligible because of his affiliation with the Arena Football League's Kansas City Brigade last year. AF2 owners claim they're worried about filling up their league with AFL players sitting on the sidelines due to its suspended season. Which was not the worst thing to happen to Carter this week: At 2 this morning, reports Action 4 News in the Rio Grande Valley, Carter was arrested by state troopers on charges of driving while intoxicated.

The Broncos may be playing a significant portion of the 2009 season without Brandon Marshall after the star receiver was arrested early Sunday in Atlanta. An Atlanta City Jail supervisor told The Denver Post that Marshall was booked on a disorderly conduct charge at 5:58 a.m. Marshall was released at 10:24 a.m. after posting a $300 bond. The charge means Marshall is facing a lengthy suspension - possibly up to a full season - by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for violating the league's personal conduct policy. The Broncos declined comment Sunday night. Marshall's agent, Kennard McGuire, and attorney Harvey Steinberg could not be reached. Marshall is expected to publicly address his ..."

So much for the notion that Pacman has grown up.
In response to our item regarding whether the oft-troubled cornerback has changed his life, a league source tells us that, in many respects, he’s still the same guy.

Jones recently attended former teammate Marcus Spears’ birthday party, which was held at Buddha 9 in Dallas. (To illustrate just how far the mighty have fallen, Jones didn’t even make the publicized list of confirmed guests.)

According to the source, “Jones made it rain with dollar bills.”
Said the source: “All the other players there thought he was a complete idiot for doing it. It was a upscale bar/restaurant and he acted like it was a cheap Atlanta strip club. So, no, he hasn’t grown up.”

A DeKalb County judge on Thursday swatted down a request by former pro football player Travis Henry for a temporary cut in child support payments for one of the nine children he fathered by as many women.

Superior Court Judge Clarence Seeliger’s ruling came at the end of a nearly all-day hearing on whether the former Denver Broncos running back can still afford to pay $3,000 monthly to the mother of his 5-year-old son.

Henry’s attorney, Randall M. Kessler, said Henry cannot pay that much now because he’s no longer earning a paycheck in the National Football League and is in danger of going to prison on federal drug charges.

Robert Wellon, the lawyer for his son’s mother, Jameshia Beacham, argued that Henry spent thousands of thousands of dollars on jewelry, cars, a new home and other purchases the former football player refused to name because of the pending criminal case against him.

Henry, 30, was arrested in Colorado last fall on felony cocaine possession charges. His arraignment is scheduled to take place in April, his attorneys said. He paid a $400,000 bond is currently under house arrest in Colorado.

Wellon spent two hours grilling Henry on his spending habits. The lawyer repeatedly questioned Henry about why he made multiple cash withdrawals of up to $70,000 after he lost his job with the Broncos. Henry refused to answer. “All those big withdrawals have to do with my [criminal] case,” Henry said.

But Henry also expressed regret for his actions.

“Now that I look back on my life, not all of my decisions were good, and now I’m paying for it,” Henry said. “I just want to make good. … I want to take care of my children. I want to get my life back together.”

The judge has yet to rule on Henry’s request for a permanent reduction in child support payments. Seeliger said Henry will have to answer the questions he refused to answer Thursday before the judge will consider that request. Kessler said Henry would comply.

After the hearing Kessler said that because of Seeliger’s ruling his client may seek a jury trial on the request for a permanent reduction in child support payments. “We will stick with it,” Kessler said. “And we will prevail.”
