This week has been a living hell for most Americans, between the Boston Marathon bombing, the West fertilizer plant explosion, and now the craziness surrounding the a suspect of the former which is still being hotly pursued.
It’s times like this that some levity is in order, and therefore, we’re going to go on and run with Week 15 of the Honey Badger Award for Extracurricular Excellence Award update, because, after all, off-field shenanigans never sleep.
This week’s update sees three new entrants — one from a school already on our leaderboard, while the other two grace it for the first time.
Kansas Jayhawks tight end Nick Sizemore has been suspended for the first three games of the team’s 2013 season after being charged with suspicion of operating a vehicle under the influence, striking a parked car and failure to report the accident. Parked cars need an advocate. This continued abuse to their domain must be stopped for the good of humankind.
Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders backup quarterback Shaun White was arrested for aggravated burglary, vandalism and theft under $500 after breaking into the apartment of an ex-girlfriend to retrieve items he believed she was still holding. In the process he stole some of her items as “ransom” until she released what was his. It’s just stuff Shawn. It’s just stuff.
Western Kentucky Hilltoppers dual-sport athlete Kene Anyigbo was charged withe marijuana possession, tampering with physical evidence and driving without headlights in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Anyigbo evidently ate the pot in the vehicle as officers approached. Yep, that one works every single time. Look! It’s gone! What pot?!
