Chicago Bulls forward Joakim Noah was arrested Sunday in Gainesville, Fla., after an officer spotted him on a sidewalk holding a plastic cup. Police said that during a search at the station officers found marijuana in his pocket. This really shouldn’t come as a surprise. Josh Howard warned us a month ago. NBA players smoke weed.
But Joakim, a plastic cup? Keep that stuff in the bottle and wrap it in a brown bag. I mean, c’mon!
PHOTO CAPTION: I couldn’t find a picture of Joakim Noah. The closest thing I could find was a picture of American Idol star Justin Guarini.
“Noah was released after signing a notice to appear before a judge — standard procedure for such offenses. He could face up to 6 months in jail and a $500 fine for the marijuana charge.”
I can’t wait for the day when an athlete actually gets the “could face up to” charge.
His father actually had this response, “I don’t understand all that fuss for just drinking a beer on the street.” That’s the kind of father Miley Cyrus needs.

Got something to say?










Wait. You’re telling me that they took him back to the station because he was drinking from a plastic cup? I got caught with an open bottle of beer on a sidewalk and all they made me do was name the Brady kids from oldest to youngest…or was it youngest to oldest. I don’t remember. Micah?
That just doesn’t seem right to me. Couldn’t they have just had him pour out the beer and let him off with a warning? Then ask him for an autograph and picture?
