* Naked Tyler Thomas of Oregon State Tased For Allegedly Lunging at Police From a 3-Point Stance. According to Cliff Kirkpatrick of the Corvallis Gazette-Times, Thomas was arrested for “second-degree criminal mischief, first-degree criminal trespass and resisting arrest.” Police told the paper, a 32-year-old woman called the police at 4:51 am claiming there was a naked man in her residence. “When officers arrived, they ordered him to get on the ground several times, but he refused. Then Thomas, who had reportedly been drinking, got into a ‘three-point stance’ and lunged at the officers, who tased him.” [The Big Lead]
* Heir Jordan: MJ Under-21 Son Blows 50K In Vegas. 20-year-old Marcus Jordan and 21-year-old Jeff Jordan, who started school this morning at UCF and play for the Knights basketball team, weren’t shy about informing us of their adventures in Vegas last weekend. In fact, Marcus felt the need to detail the financial damage his father’s black card he suffered from a Vegas nightclub. [SportsbyBrooks]
* Candice Crawford Loves Tony Romo Not Math. Since returning to Dallas, the 23-year-old has been rumored to be dating Cowboys’ quarterback Tony Romo – rumors she confirms in this interview. Aside from her obvious assets, it turns out she is a huge sports fan and appears to know her stuff. That’s definitely a good thing because, as you can note from the simple math question posed to Crawford below (23 – 17… she says 5), she probably does not have much chance at a fallback career at NASA.

* Barton’s “Nazi Salute”? Over the weekend Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton celebrated the first goal in his side’s thrashing of Aston Villa with what some perceived as a Nazi salute. According to the Telegraph, Barton “swiftly issued a public statement through his club to insist that he was entirely innocent of any wrongdoing after becoming the subject of intense internet debate following his celebration.” [The Score]
