It's about time someone arrested Manu Ginóbili. For stealing my heart.

dogmoon is royalty

for maximum points you obv need both the person and the reason, so

freddie flintoff - public nudity
ryan tannehill - some sort of financial irregularity/non-payment of taxes/insider trading
marko arnautovic - assault, possibly of a family member

logic as follows

flintoff is a known drunkard and seems the type to get his cock out wherever possible

most likely reason for tannehill's wife sticking around is he lets her spend vast sums. if im right about that then the financial pressure will eventually become too great and he will turn to crime

arnautovic is a bit of a layup, well known to be a basket case

Something isn't right with Marshawn Lynch. I've always figured he's due for something way more serious than DUI.

I'm expecting announcement of a torrid one-night stand with one Beverly Gabbert.

there is no way Wayne Gretzky is due for anything bad. If the guy didn't murder Dustin Johnson for blowing tons of coke and sleeping around on Paulina then he is gonna be just fine.

Puig

Dude is probably tripping balls every game

I'm going to go with Steve Smith

Jason Pierre Paul is a ticking bomb imo

Najeh Davenport is due for another deuce in a place other than a toilet.

I always figured Willie McCovey as that Zodiac killer.

Lebron James - cheating on his wife or roid rage assault

Nice to see this thread gaining some steam. Speaking of Dustin Johnson, he would have been a great pick. Something seemed a bit off with all of those pics of him partying, even if they were mostly innocent pics of him on a boat with Paulina or something similar. A little digging under the hood would have found that he was involved in purchasing a gun that was used in a murder about 10 years ago, and had a pretty fishy leave of absence a few years ago due to a so-called injury.

Tiger Woods would have been the Holy Grail of all Holy Grail's. Maybe someone had seen him in Vegas and noticed a girl nearby. There are a bunch of ways to get points here, and a few angles to take.

Of course, gotta love Adrian Peterson smoking weed and being in the news today. That wouldn't gain much points, but sometimes a high stupidity level gets more points, if you sense things are about to snowball on someone.

Every week, almost every day, someone is on the news for doing something bad or stupid. Once a few posters connect on something good, it should open up a bit. There are opportunities to scout every time you watch a game or see an interview, so the next time you see someone who you feel could go off the rails for any reason, list him here, and the more detailed you get about what the news might look like, the better for your reputation as a bad news scout.

Warren Sapp is an interesting one. He filed bankruptcy a few years ago and claimed that he had lost his Super Bowl ring. I can see a situation develop where he does something dumb like wear the ring in public, and open himself up to a bankruptcy fraud charge. I know he was making a big stink about Michael Strahan making the Hall of Fame before he ended up apologizing. That is the type of behavior that often preceeds trouble for the one doing the shouting.

The tougher game is predicting which athlete won't be in the news for anything bad within 5 years.

Adrian Peterson smokes weed before taking drug test.

I'm going with Todd Gurley.

I'd bet Peyton Manning's college trainer chick has received some nice anonymous bumps to her bank account here lately.

That's a good one. Peyton is not immune to something dumb that could get him in trouble. You wouldn't think it, but that would be a good guess, if you had something behind the scenes like that incident back in his college days.

Someone mentioned Archie Manning earlier. Another guy who is a bit shady is Fran Tarkenten. If he makes the news in a big way it will likely be for something bad.

Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Luck about to be indicted for defrauding the Locks of Love charity IMO

LeSean McCoy is capable of stumbling into some type of sloppy situation that turns bad. He seems like a legitimate guy, and doesn't exhibit thug tendencies, but he was involved in a silly situation a few weeks ago where he and a group of people left a zero dollar tip after eating. He/they actually filled in zero, so it wasn't that they forgot.

Another time he was talking on Twitter about how fantasy sports players should play him before one of their games, and he promised a lot of points.

I gotta think he is in the crosshairs of a stupid decision or situation that escalates into something serious, so we'll see if this post gets bumped before the season is over. For the Holy Grail bonus points I will take a flyer and say that he does something in a game for the sake of gaining fantasy points, and this "something" that he does actually hurts his team (like scoring when falling down would lock up the game). And then for the super bonus points, he will actually admit it in an interview after the game.

For the end all of all Holy Grails, let's say he scores instead of falling down, giving the opposing team a chance, then the Eagles lose. He then admits that he was thinking about fantasy points. That would win the thread.

all of the stl cardinals for participating in an illegal gambling pool.

andre johnson

Yessss moondoggy dog is back

Btw placing my bet on another starting RB getting suspended for doing something stupid by this time next year

Marvin Harrison gonna shoot another person eventually, right?
