Lamar Odom's Drug Sabbatical

“Lamar Odom really isn’t smoking crack right?” That was the text from my old roommate Noah that I woke up to the other morning. At the time, I had not heard the full story, but the rumors were out, and at the time I answered, “Yeah, I guess he is.” What’s funny is that I really could not believe it. How could a player of Lamar Odom’s status end up on a three-day coke binge resulting in him being lost for awhile and then a DUI?

UPDATE: Female Rugby Fan Who Pissed In Her Seat Gets Busted

AUSTRALIA - The long arm of the law has caught up with a woman over a very public pee at the State of Origin rugby league decider. Footy fans used mobile phone cameras to film a woman pulling down her pants and urinating on her seat during last week's match at Suncorp Stadium. The footage was posted on YouTube and attracted thousands of viewers. Police today said they'd charged a 44-year-old Petrie woman with urinating in a public place. She's due to face the Brisbane Magistrates Court on July 28. Stadium managers were able to identify the seat number from CCTV camera footage, allowing police to track her down. The clip, posted to and taken off YouTube last Thursday, showed her listening to post-match speeches high in the stands. It drew howls of protest, disgust and laughter from the online community, with Twitter users coining the hashtag #pissgate. A Queensland Police Service spokeswoman last week told The Courier-Mail the case was unusual. "Those type of offences are (usually) the sort of thing we'd give some a ticket for at the time. It's a bit of an unusual one." After being removed from YouTube, it resurfaced on (ironically) LiveLeak and other websites. YouTube posted the reason for its removal. "This video has been removed as a violation of YouTube's policy on shocking and disgusting content," it said.

YouTube has no balls and no sense of humor. Here at the Speakeasy, our standards are completely different. If it's hilarious, it's gettin' posted. And this clip is fuckin' hilarious. End of story. Bang. Done. Pay attention!

“Wests Tigers fans come from far and wide across the Sydney metropolitan area and they enjoy the comfort, great viewing and intense atmosphere generated at the SFS and SCG. “Wests Tigers play an attacking brand of rugby league and are one of the most appealing teams in the NRL competition,” said Mr Barkley. “Playmakers such as Benji Marshall and Robbie Farah offer great flair and players such as Lote Tuqiri, Beau Ryan and Gareth Ellis are crowd favourites,” he added.

Wests Tigers biggest attendance this season was 30,685 for the clash with South Sydney at the SCG in May.

Eric Tindill, the only man to play tests for New Zealand in both cricket and rugby, and preside in a test in both, has died in Nelson. He was 99 years old.
At the same time as others have become known as double rugby-cricket internationals though appearing only in tour games as different from tests in one or the other sport, Tindill was single in his four-strong achievements.
A halfback or first five-eighths for Wellington, Tindill played 16 matches for the All Blacks, include one test, a 13-0 loss to England at Twickenham in 1936.
Fourteen years later he was refereed three tests, two between the All Blacks and the British Lions, and then one against Australia in 1955. Tindill played five cricket tests as a wicketkeeper-batsman between 1937 and 1947, his first appearance against England at Lord's. His first-class career spanned 18 seasons.
