There's No Wrong Way To Eat A Reese's...

...unless you end up getting arrested!

Just when you think that Reese's Peanut Butter Cups couldn't get any better, you're stumbling across this story:

The Braves traded Jordan Schafer to Houston despite believing he could still be a valuable part of their future because they were able to land a proven veteran, Michael Bourn, in return. But Schafer’s future just got a little more cloudy.

The Astros’ center fielder and former Braves’ top prospect was arrested early Tuesday in Tampa on a felony marijuana possession charge.

The St. Petersburg Times first reported Schafer was arrested at 1:59 a.m. at the address for The Cheesecake Factory restaurant. He was released from jail at 5:15 a.m. on $2,000 cash bond.

Schafer was found in possession of 25.9 grams of marijuana. In the state of Florida, more than 20 grams is considered a third-degree felony. According to the police report, officers conducted a traffic stop after smelling what seemed to be marijuana coming out of Schafer’s car, and upon pulling him over found him with a joint in his hand.

An email to a Times reporter from the Tampa Police Dept. indicated officers also found “three small Marijuana peanut butter cups which contained 247.8 milligrams of Marijuana, according to its packaging.”

I'm going to be handing these out to parents on Halloween, and I'm pretty sure many will be thanking me. Little Timmy can get all coked up and off the wall from his regular candy while Mom and/or Dad can snack on a pot laced peanut butter cup and just slide into a place of relaxation. It's a win, win.....

Also, is anyone REALLY surprised about the mention of Schafer being at "The Cheesecake Factory"? HELLO? It's called 'the munchies' and for my money, it doesn't get any better than their cheesecake!

Dude should have been smarter and done this at home--driving around high on pot or anything else is never a good idea, however, this seems to be a fairly small issue in comparison to some of the stunts other professional athletes are pulling/have pulled over the years...

Also, is it just me, or does Jordan Schafer look like he could be related to Eminem? Maybe a cousin?

I know I've used this title for at least one earlier post, but it's true....and ridiculously appropriate for this story...

8 Shot After Gang Argument at Dallas Rap Contest

DALLAS - Police say eight people have been shot after rival gangs confronted each other during a Dallas nightclub's rap competition, and at least one person is critically injured.

Dallas police say the incident started around 2:30 a.m. Saturday at the Rolls Royce club when members of one gang pulled guns and began firing.

Police spokeswoman Melinda Gutierrez says conditions of the victims range from fair to critical. She didn't have additional information. No arrests have been made.

Online police reports allege that a 22-year-old man was about to take the stage when he began arguing with a man, who shot the 22-year-old three times before firing into the crowd.

The reports say a 23-year-old man shot in both legs was in critical condition but able to tell officers about the suspects.

1. First off, to the person who wrote this, kudos for using the word 'argument' in the headline. I don't think I've ever heard an altercation between gangs/gang members called something so innocent, but I love it.

2. Dallas? I always imagined the home of the Mavericks & Mark Cuban to be full of cowboys & country music...not hip hop & gangs! Although I never really thought about it, this story helps me understand why DeShawn Stevenson is so happy playing for the Mavs. This is even better for him as the NBA Lockout does not appear to be ending anytime soon!

  

3. Why can't we have establishments with names like 'The Rolls Royce Club" up here in the Boston area? Surely Boston SHOULD have more street cred than Dallas, right? Apparently not!
