DeShawn Stevenson Partied Too Hard and Got Arrested for Public Intoxication
DeShawn Stevenson had quite a week! Beefin’ with LeBron, stuntin’ in game six, wearing a ridiculously awesome t-shirt the night the Mavericks won the title and now … a drunk in public arrest. The details, via TMZ:
Law enforcement sources tell us, police received a call about some drunk guy wandering around an apartment comlpex in Irving, TX last night — and when cops showed up, they found Stevenson … who said he was lost.
Stevenson — who does not live in the apartment complex — then flunked a field sobriety test … and was arrested for public intoxication.
Law enforcement sources tell us, the officers “felt he was a danger to himself and others.”
The man just brought Texas a world title and he can’t get hooked up by the boys in blue? You think if this were a player on the Auburn football team two days after it beat Oregon, he’s getting cuffed? What about a UConn basketball player two nights after the win over Butler?
Let the man with an Abe Lincoln tattoo on his next party!

Least surprising news ever
June 15th, 2011 at 12:45 PM
What about a Buckeye the day after they win a National Cha…
/dies laughing
//sorry Spence
June 15th, 2011 at 12:45 PM
That’s a disgrace to Abe!
June 15th, 2011 at 12:46 PM
This has all happened to me before except it wasn’t in Irving, it was in the neighborhood between Skillman and Greenville and there were no cops but my friend laughing his ass off at my drunk ass after he came to pick me up from the street corner I found myself on.
I do not miss not knowing my limit when it comes to booze.

“yes, hello? Police? There’s a man drunkenly walking around my complex. Bring in the SWAT!”
June 15th, 2011 at 12:47 PM
wow. that really sucks.
June 15th, 2011 at 12:47 PM
Poor bastard.
June 15th, 2011 at 12:49 PM
Probably more like “I’m scared, there’s a black guy walking around outside!”
June 15th, 2011 at 12:49 PM
me and a buddy once wandered the streets of Austin for about 2 hours looking for my truck. probably good we never found it, although it did suck having to call the boss the next morning and ask for a ride to work and then borrow his car so I could drive around looking for my truck. somehow it didn’t get towed.

Who hasn’t walked around completely drunk off his or her ass?
June 15th, 2011 at 12:49 PM

Except that the Mavs don’t quite compare to those examples. Had DeShawn been a LB for the Cowboys, then it would compare.

If you read the rest of the police statement, itt sounds like they wanted to let him be on his way but he was too fucking plastered to take care of himself.
June 15th, 2011 at 12:50 PM
HA!
“We’ll be right there, sir. Hide your daughter.”

The beer companies paid them to look the other way during the finals, but they’re hardasses the rest of the year.
June 15th, 2011 at 12:51 PM
depends on if the cop is a bama fan or not.
June 15th, 2011 at 12:51 PM
Might be a little different since most of them are underage.
/”knows nothing” about UK players getting trashed at holes around town

If that doesn’t say, “We’re very sorry Dallas fans and the world, but we seriously had no choice,” then I don’t know what does.

Who hasn’t walked around completely drunk off his or her ass?
Last Wednesday I was heading back from trivia and walked past a guy laying on the sidewalk, completely shitfaced and unable to get up. His buddy tried, but it took about 3 cops to drag his ass up and shove him in the paddy wagon.
June 15th, 2011 at 1:04 PM
must have been underaged girls around. Smart move by the cops.
June 15th, 2011 at 1:05 PM
why is the worst commish in professional sports (tim finchem, PGA) grinning like a fucking cheshire cat on the front page with ESPN guys?
/fuck tim finchem

Don’t know if anyone saw this yet, but its hilarious.

Suck on Mickleson’s man tits while giving Tiger a hanj.

Gary Bettman is also the PGA commish?
June 15th, 2011 at 1:11 PM
wtf, a guy just sneezed then blew a snot rocket right outside my window and door to the company. who does that?
June 15th, 2011 at 1:12 PM
Was he asian?
Oh, wait that’s spitting.
/seriously, stop with the fucking spitting
June 15th, 2011 at 1:12 PM
basically marketing. good thing he put all his eggs in tiger’s basket, no?
he’d enforce rules but he doesn’t have any balls. he’s a crony. he’s an idiot. he plagiarizes ideas (WGC’s were greg norman’s idea). he comes up with half baked ideas and follows through with them with the zeal and creativity of a retarded cat.
also he looks and talks like a snivelling piece of shit.

Irving?
Dude was looking to get wet.

Amazing. The video ads on the sidebar have their own ads inside of them. The ads inside the ads can’t be paused, which BLOWS!
June 15th, 2011 at 1:22 PM
also, im just talking shit…i really don’t like finchem, but bettman’s worse. just bored since this place is dead so far this afternoon.

I’m guessing that an image of Abe Lincoln appeared in a mug shot.
Joins company of swatzstickas, samoan face tatts, and black tear drops.

I’ve taken to playing Microsoft Hearts, burned up two good posts yesterday with the movie roles and hated teams talk…need to spread that shit out in the summer

Took my talents to Twitter. Waiting for a hockey post. Just way to jacked up for game 7 tonight.
Informal Poll: Of those of you that are either casual hockey fans or just non-hockey fans, how many of you are tuning in to Game 7 tonight?
June 15th, 2011 at 1:25 PM
will watch if nothing else is on.
June 15th, 2011 at 1:25 PM

i’m staying away, since I got shamed in yesterday’s roundup. In fact, I don’t even know about the guy with the gambling website, and the grammar pet peeves.
June 15th, 2011 at 1:26 PM
I’m leaving work early for it.

Never trust a guy with Abe Lincoln tattoed on his throat.

I will watch and root for the Canucks.

I had game 5 on while I read a bunch of NBA finals game 6 previews and tried not to be sick about it, but I truly and honestly don’t care.
I might tune in if I remember, but by the time I do, the game might be over.
June 15th, 2011 at 1:28 PM
Have poker night tonight, it will be on in the background but I will not be watching intently.
June 15th, 2011 at 1:28 PM
Appreciate the responses. Here is something adorable as compensation.
June 15th, 2011 at 1:31 PM
I’m planning on watching the game but I don’t care enough about the teams to keep with it if one team gets a two-goal lead…that said, go Nucks
June 15th, 2011 at 1:36 PM
i’m planning on watching some of it. will likely check the score on my phone until i see it’s a close game and worth watching, or if boston blows them out i’ll tune in for the last couple minutes or regulation.
June 15th, 2011 at 1:46 PM
Hey there are people here cheering for the Canucks! High five to all of you!
This city is on edge right now. Big time.
June 15th, 2011 at 1:49 PM
So DeShawn gets roped here after previously being arrested and prosecuted in 2001 for statutory rape of a FOURTEEN YEAR OLD girl, but LeBron is the villain.
The Heat is hated but Mavs are the feel good story with this punk and the wife-beating Jason Kidd. Glad we have our priorities in order.
//Yes, I know LeBron had a bad series.
June 15th, 2011 at 1:51 PM
Public intox is such a bullshit charge. It should only be given out in conjunction with another charge. Like drunk and disorderly AND public intox. Or assault AND public intox.
June 15th, 2011 at 1:52 PM
correct.
at this point in time you have to assume that if a player hasn’t been in the media for personal problems it is only a matter of time.
June 15th, 2011 at 1:52 PM
I mean, would it be better for him to be driving while drunk? Heaven forbid if he decided to walk home after a night of drinking instead of getting in a car.
June 15th, 2011 at 1:53 PM
I’ll be flipping back and forth between the Giants game until I have to leave for my soccer game

/Good Luck tonight! Wish my team was involved.

June 15th, 2011 at 2:00 PM
I believe “personal problems” do not include statutory rape or domestic violence but what do I know? I’m not on ESPN.
June 15th, 2011 at 2:04 PM
I’ll have it on in the background for sure.
