More deals for the Mets, still nothing good for the Cubs

Friday, January 9th, 2009 | MLB | No Comments

Just out sources are telling ESPN that the Mets are close to a deal with Tim Redding. The one year contract with the free agent would be worth $2 million. Redding had a 10-11 record with a 4.95 ERA in 182 innings covering 33 starts with the Nats last year. The Mets already have a strong rotation and are looking to place him in the No. 5 spot to top it off.  It looks like the team is also still in talks with Derek Lowe but lets see how that plays out.

UFC star pleads guilty

Friday, January 9th, 2009 | General, UFC | No Comments

quinton-rampage-jacksonIts not a good day for Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, he pleaded guilty Thursday to one felony count of evading a peace officer and driving against traffic. He also has a misdemeanor count of driving recklessly. This charges come from a July 15th arrest when in a much publicized car chase with authorities in Costa Mesa and Newport California. Jackson reached a plea agreement and cold face six months in jail and probation. Before he is sentenced he must complete 200 hours of community service, attend therapy, pay restitution, and comply with some other terms of the plea. Some of the additional terms could be a restriction on alcohol use and court ordered drug test. Jackson was not drunk or on drugs on July 15th but he did have many medical professionals diagnose him with delirium while driving.

If he finishes all of this community service and complies with all of this terms his felony charges could be dropped. On July 15th Jackson was accused of sideswiping two cards after he drove up on a curb with his pick up truck. Allegedly he fled the scene and was later flagged down by police officer who witnessed him driving on a flat tire. Jackson refused to stop and then collided with a second vehicle. After this the chase with the police began, he ran multiple lights and almost struck a pedestrian and several police cars.

After taken into custody Jackson was bailed out the same day, but friends requested Jackson be placed on 72-hour mental hold at a local hospital that day after the chase. Jackson is know for his first round knockout of Wanderlei Silva and beating Chuck Liddell in May of 2007. He was dethroned in July one week before his arrest by Forrest Griffin.
