More Trouble for Jayson Williams

Tue, 26 May 2009 12:09:34 -0500

((HT:WRAL))

Note to Jayson Williams: When you're at a club called "The Ugly Monkey," try not to get yourself arrested.

Too bad that advice got to the former NBA player a little too late.

Raleigh police arrested Williams around 1:45 a.m. Monday after a fight broke out at the club on Harrington St, according to WRAL. The Ugly Monkey. Sorry, I just felt like saying it again.

No one was hurt, officers said. Authorities charged Williams, 41, with one count of simple assault and released him on $1,000 bond around 4:30 a.m.

Jayson, Jayson, Jayson. Why would you go to the Ugly Monkey anyway? There are MANY better clubs here in Raleigh. Treat this as a lesson learned (hopefully).

Rowdy Roddy Piper Shock-Proof Vests Becoming A Hot Commodity

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 07:57:09 -0500

On the heels of former NBA All-Star Jayson Williams and Buffalo Bills defensive back Donte Whitner both recently being tasered by local police, never has Hot Rod looked so smart. It was the summer of 1992 on a Saturday Night Main Event when The Mountie attempted to use his shock stick on the Rowdy One, only to find Mr. Piper was indeed "Shock-Proof." If we could all be so lucky.

So imagine you have the same name and once shared the same career in the highly scrutinized and publicized world of professional sports. Imagine your namesake is a total screw up and you wake up to a headline that says “Jayson Williams Tasered by cops, hospitalized.”You would be Jay Williams, and that would suck.The Duke guard who was drafted by the Chicago Bulls only to have a horrific motorcycle crash in 2003, must get tired of former New Jersey Net Jayson Williams making news – bad news.Th...

It’s been a bad few years for Jayson Williams.

Jayson Williams (Not Ours) Still Struggling

We were wondering what had happened to Jayson Williams (from St. John's, not Duke's Jason with no Y Williams) after his manslaughter trial. Apparently he's not doing very well.

NJ Congressman Thinks New Jersey (Or Anyone) Cares About the Nets

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 15:47:44 -0500

The New Jersey Nets never quite caught the attention of Jersey sports fans the way teams in neighboring New York and Philadelphia have.

Jayson Williams to Use Mark Furhman Defense

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 21:53:45 -0500

According to the AP via Philly.com, based on an appellate court decision, former NBA "star" Jayson Williams "can use details about a racial slur uttered by an investigator in the manslaughter case" against him. Williams was acquitted of aggravated manslaughter in 2004 but convicted on four counts of trying to cover up the 2002 shooting of a hired driver at Williams' Hunterdon County mansion.
