Cavs' West pleads guilty to charges
Basketball Betting Lines
07/15/2010 -
Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West pled
guilty to weapons and traffic charges stemming from his arrest last September,
according to a report in the Washington Post.
The judge in Prince George's County Circuit Court sentenced West to eight
months of electronic monitoring and home detention, two years of probation, 40
hours of community service and psychological counseling. He will be allowed to
attend practices, home games and away games, the paper said.
West was indicted on two counts of carrying a dangerous weapon, two counts of
carrying a handgun, two counts of transporting a handgun, one count of
reckless driving and one count of negligent driving.
West, 26, faced up to three years in jail for each weapons charge and a $2,500
fine per offense.
In September, he was arrested following a traffic stop on his motorcycle for
allegedly carrying a 8.5-inch Bowie-style knife, a 9mm Beretta, a Ruger .357
and a shotgun inside a guitar case that was hanging on his back.
During the 2008-09 season, West left the Cavaliers during training camp to be
treated for what he later said was bipolar disorder, according to The
Cleveland Plain Dealer at the time.
The St. Joseph's product, a six-year pro, missed the first three games of the
2009-10 season before returning and averaging 8.8 points and 3.3 assists in 60
regular season games for the club.

NFL Football Trash Talk
Trash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing).
Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject
would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms.
Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion.
Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site).
Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends,
their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com.
Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the
sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies
your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming
the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like
your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in
defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your
hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say,
will be sacking groceries by the end of the season.
The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt
focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea
is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to
make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation.
What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill.
Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies.
But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply.
In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton.
