    The only deal should be, lock him up and throw away the keys. Darren Sharper cuts plea deals in two of his four rape cases

    On a day when rape charges were filed against him in Las Vegas, former NFL safety Darren Sharper filed plea deals in New Orleans and Los Angeles.

    Of course, that leaves Arizona on his world tour of sexual assault charges.

    According to the New Orleans Advocate, the pleas will be filed Monday, and appear to be part of a global plea deal to resolve all the charges against him.

    Authorities in Los Angeles said they wouldn’t comment until Monday, and a spokesman for Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro said only that an agreement has been reached.

    Sharper has been jailed in Los Angeles since his January, 17, 2014 arrest there.

    The ex-girlfriend of Colts linebacker Erik Walden is in custody after allegedly slashing Walden’s arm with a knife and breaking the arm of a woman who was with Walden in Braselton, Georgia.

    It could have been worse. Via WXIA-TV, Erica Palmer allegedly confronted Walden and the woman with a gun and a baseball bat. Walden got the gun away from Palmer, but she then struck the woman with the bat and ran away.

    As Walden and the woman were heading to the hospital to have the broken arm treated, Palmer allegedly reappeared with a knife, cut Walden, and fled again.

    Palmer is being held without bail, charged with two counts of aggravated assault, family violence aggravated assault, theft by taking, and first-degree burglary. Walden, who has fathered two children with Palmer, was treated and released.

    Walden has spent the last two seasons with the Colts. His career began in 2008, with the Chiefs. He also has played for the Dolphins and Packers, including during the Super Bowl-winning season of 2010.

    Court ends Josh McNary’s GPS monitoring

    Colts linebacker Josh McNary faces serious allegations of rape. Pending trial, he had been required to wear a GPS tracker. According to the Indianapolis Star, a judge has nowremoved that limitation on McNary’s freedom pending trial.

    The ruling comes a week after McNary’s lawyer argued in court for an adjustment to his bond.

    McNary is scheduled to stand trial on June 15. His lawyer claims that the alleged victim has fabricated the charge, explaining in court that he received an anonymous letter claiming that the alleged victim had made a prior charge of rape. Also, McNary’s lawyer said in court that a friend of the alleged victim supposedly cautioned her via text message about “the little boy who cries wolf too much.”

    McNary was placed on the Commissioner’s-Exempt list following his January arrest. He’ll remain there until his case is resolved, regardless of his eventual guilt or innocence.

    I'm hearing Gore ran most of his years in SF with a Fullback leading the way. The colts put a TE in the backfield some last year to help block. I wonder if the Colts will pick up a FB ?

    I sure am glad he signed with the Colts. It looks like they're improving the O line and with a WR corps of Hilton, Moncrief, Duron Carter, hopefully Andre Johnson and 1 other to the mix it should be an offense to be reckoned with.

    It is, however, an unfortunate truth that due to the evolution of any sport, comparing athletes from across multiple generations of said evolution is unfair to BOTH athletes. I'm playing devil's advocate here, so bear with me. It's a reason I typically avoid GOAT arguments like the plague. Strategies and skillsets to get around or defend your opponent are constantly changing, and we will never know how a guy from an older generation would have handled the speed, size, finesse, blah, blah, blah of the newer generation, or vice-versa. The one thing we can probably say for sure is that the competitive spirit that made the players great WITHIN their generation would have likely led them to build themselves up to the level required to become an all-time great in any era. It's in their very nature to compete among the best. But unless we could ever see all these greats play in the same era, under the same conditions, same everything, the GOAT will almost always be a product of what specific qualities each individual professional and amateur critic considers the epitome of greatness. Personal preference. I think Barry Sanders is the greatest RB of all time, someone else thinks it's Jim Brown, and someone else is convinced it's Walter Payton (not a hijack attempt...just the only example I could think of quickly). Are we all wrong? Are we all right?

     

    Back to basketball in particular, is it fair at all for there to only be one GOAT among players at different positions with different roles? I am in agreement with the people who are not convinced that it's an open/shut case. But I also don't think it can ever be a conclusive one in anyone's favor. Or maybe somebody will come along and average a quintuple-double and make it easy for us.

    Oscar Robertson comes to my mind. Whether he can be in the GOAT conversation is a question, but his skills cannot be denied. Only player in history to average a triple double in a season and continued to be dominate. Just thought I would throw his name in the mix. MJ is the only player in the near past that I can see was better than the big "O" .
