Aaron Hernandez Photo Removed From Pro Football Hall Of Fame [PHOTO]

After receiving complaints from visitors, who visited the Pro Football Hall of Fame, who walked past a photo of former New England Patriots tight-end Aaron Hernandez running for a touchdown against Green Bay Packers cornerback Sam Shields back in 2010 [below], the hall's vice president Joe Horrigan ordered the photo to be removed:

In the spirit of good taste we thought we'd take it down.

The decision marks the latest move by the league and the Patriots to distances themselves from Hernandez, who was released by the team and remains in police custody without bail.

 Last weekend, Patriots fans were able to return their No. 81 jerseys and exchange them for any other New England Patriots replica jersey at Gillette Stadium. More than 1,000 people took advantage of the team's offer.

Hernandez is charged for the June 17th shooting death of Odin Lloyd. The tight-end had pleaded not guilty to one count of murder and five gun-related charges.

Chad Johnson Claims His Expenses Outpace His Income By $45,000 A Month

In newly filed court documents, Chad Johnson claims that he only makes $3,000/month, which is a far cry from the millions he used to make as a wide receiver with the Cincinnati Bengals a few years ago.

According to a report, Johnson's expenses outpace the income coming in, which has been calculated to the tune of $45,982.76 per month.

Johnson has been in a battle with his baby mamas in an effort to get his child support payments lowered, as he's not making the same amount of money when he had his kids, along with the fact that he's unemployed.

In documents filed in April, Johnson claims he only makes $3,000/month, but that low amount disappears thanks to the $16,525 he already pays in child support.

Also, you have to look at what Johnson has to pay per month, which includes a $9,063.24 in mortgage payments, $2,000 in food, $2,650 on his car expenses, $3,500 on clothing, $250 for grooming, $5,000 in entertainment, $1,000 in pet expenses along with other various expenses that totals $31,154.76.

Add all of it up, and Johnson is in the negative range of $45,982.76/month.

There's a bright light to the story though, as Johnson has two bank accounts, two cars, two houses, that puts his total assets to $4,720,672.57

Robert Kraft Says Russian President Vladimir Putin Stole His Super Bowl Ring

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is claiming that during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, back in 2005, he pocketed Kraft's Super Bowl ring.

The N.Y. Post claims that at the time Kraft lied by claiming that the ring, worth $25,000, was a gift for Putin, but now is claiming that Putin stole the ring from him. When Kraft demanded the ring back, the White House intervened in the matter.

Kraft explained the incident happened while he and other business execs where in St. Petersburg, "I took out the ring and showed it to [Putin], and he put it on and he goes, 'I can kill someone with this ring.'" Kraft went to say that when he reached out to get the ring back, Putin stuck the ring in his pocket and three KGB agents surrounded the president and walked away.

At the time, Kraft explained [lied] about what happen to the ring, "President Putin, a great and knowledgeable sports fan, was clearly taken with its uniqueness. I decided to give him the ring as a symbol of the respect and admiration that I have for the Russian people and [his] leadership."

In reality, Kraft wanted the Super Bowl ring back, Kraft claimed on Thursday when he spoke in front of a crowd at the Carnegie Hall's Medal of Excellence gala at the Waldorf-Astoria. Kraft even went on to say that he got a call from the White House who told him that it would be in the best interest of US-Russian relations if he meant to give Putin the ring as a present.

Kraft says that he really didn't want to go through with the [lie] statement, because of the fact that he had an emotional tie to the ring, and because the ring had his name on it.

It is said that the ring is kept at the Kremlin library.

Chad Johnson Is Lying About Being Financially Broke

Chad Johnson claims that he's financially broke, but apparently it's not stopping him from hitting strip clubs and making it rain on strippers in Miami.

During the Memorial Day holiday, Johnson and his homeless friend, named "Porkchop" made a trip to the King of Diamonds strip club. Johnson posted their adventure on his Twitter account, where he took two photos of his friend dancing with strippers and sitting down with money falling out of his pockets.

According to a source, Porkchop and Johnson threw money around at the strippers. The source went on to say that the amount of money Porkchop had falling out of his pockets [below] total to around $1,000, as all of the money came from Johnson. 

Johnson recently claimed to a judge that he couldn't afford the $5,420 per month child support payments, which goes to one of Johnson's baby mama's. He told the judge the reason that he couldn't pay the amount was due to him not making the same amount of money he used to make when he was playing football [before his career went down in flames]. 

In 2012, Johnson submitted documents to the court that he was making $66,000 per month, but that was before he got released from the Miami Dolphins in August 2012 after he was arrested for head-butting his ex-wife Evelyn Lozada. His endorsement deals were terminated as a results of the alleged domestic violence assault. 

However, with Johnson out at strip clubs, it looks as if he cleared up the probation violation dispute with authorities in Florida.

N.Y. Jets QB Geno Smith Signs With Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports Agency

New York Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith announced, on Wednesday, that he had signed with Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports Agency as his representation, according to USA Today.

Smith picked an unknown agent Kimberly Miale as his contract agent, but due to Jay-Z not being certified by the NFL Players Association, Miale won't be able to handling all of Smith's contract negotiations.

"Not that big of a role. It's just the agency," Smith said when asked if Jay-Z was a factor, though few will believe the claim after seeing an Instagram photo of the two. "When you're talking about being in New York from the standpoint of what they can do through the city, all the connections they have, I think it's a good move," Smith went on to say.

Smith went on to say that his family is cool with the move he had [picking Jay-Z's company to represent him], but his main focus is stealing that starting quarterback job away from Mark Sanchez.

Chad Johnson Could Face A Year In Prison [Mug Shot]

Chad Johnson appeared before a judge in Broward County, FL on Monday, where he was placed under arrested after a warrant was issued for his arrest on May 7. 

For 13 days, Johnson never tried to clear up the arrest warrant with his parole officer nor the court in Florida  as it was reported that Johnson was in Pasadena, CA and planning a trip for the Dominican Republic for the Memorial Day holiday. 

According to a report, Johnson could now be forced to serve a year in state prison for assaulting his ex-wife, last August. 

Johnson was originally charged with a misdemeanor for his August 2012 arrest, but his 2000 incident involving him and his ex-girlfriend, at the time, could force authorities in Broward County to upgrade his current misdemeanor charge to a felony, which could send Johnson behind bars for 12 months. 

Johnson alleged that his girlfriend [in 2000] was cheating on him and he slapped her. He pleaded no contest to assaulting the woman and days later he reported to Oregon State University to play college football. 

Johnson was sentenced to community service, which included cleaning graffiti. He completed the community service in 2002 and went on to play for the Cincinnati Bengals. 

Johnson violated his parole, which he received after he was charged [with a misdemeanor] for allegedly head-butting his ex-wife Evelyn Lozada back in August 2012.

Chad Johnson Plans On Leaving Country While Being A Wanted Man

Someone needs to send Chad Johnson this report, because according to law... YOU CAN'T LEAVE THE COUNTRY WHILE STILL ON PROBATION.

According to Johnson's Twitter account [below], he's planning on leaving the United States for the Dominican Republic for the Memorial Day holiday, which is next weekend. Also, keep in mind that a warrant for Johnson's arrest went out, on May 7, which Johnson hasn't responded too.

The warrant stems from the domestic violence involving him and his ex-wife Evelyn Lozada last August.

According to the Broward County District Attorney's Office, Johnson failed to report to his probation officer -- a violation of the terms of his probation -- and on May 7 the warrant for his arrest was issued for his arrest. Johnson also failed to show proof of enrollment and completion of the "Batterers Intervention Program."

As of Sunday night, it's unknown if Johnson has surrendered himself to cops, but his last known location was in Pasadena, CA, which he posted on his Twitter account on May 16.

Once Johnson is in police custody -- a hearing will be set to determine whether Johnson did in fact violate his probation. If he did indeed violate his probation, then he could do jail time.

Either way it goes, if Johnson tries to leave the United States for his vacation trip next weekend, and his probation officer calls him and discovers he's out of the country, Johnson will become a fugitive of justice.

The only way Johnson can leave the country is if it's a family emergency, something we all know is not the case with Johnson. It's also unlikely the courts won't grant Johnson's request to the leave the country since he's still a warrant man and hasn't turned himself in.

Chad Johnson was arrested in Florida on Monday. According to reports, a Broward County judge determined that Johnson violated his probation. Johnson is facing jail time.

Mario Williams Sent Suicidal Text Messages To Ex-Fiancee

Buffalo Bills star Mario Williams ex-fiancee Erin Marzouki has taken the dirty road in their break-up, as it's being reported that Marzouki has released text messages which shows that Williams is very suicidal.

According to Pro Football Talk, Williams, Marzouki, and their attorneys met for three hours to come up with a fair resolution over the $785K engagement ring, but failed as the two couldn't figure anything out. Marzouki later went on to release some text messages from Williams. 

"I took 3 hydrocodones this morning and no one knows," Williams allegedly sent Marzouki. "I'm going to take 2 more on the plane and fade away." Williams also allegedly said: "No money in the world should leave me with suicidal thoughts."

Marzouki says she doesn't have any plans on selling the $785,000 engagement ring Williams gave to her last year. She also says that she'll lock the ring inside of a safe.

Al Michaels Charged With Two Counts Of DUI

Al Michaels may spend some time behind bars after he was charged with two counts of misdemeanor DUI connection with his arrest in Santa Monica, CA back in April.

According to TMZ, if Michaels is convicted on the charges, he faces up to 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine, but due to him only having this on his record, it's most likely he'll NEVER have to spend a day in jail.

Law enforcement sources say that Michaels passed a DUI checkpoint in Santa Monica around 10:00 PM on Friday (April 19). Officers say they detected the odor of alcohol. Michaels was then pulled over and was given a field sobriety test and after performing badly, he was placed under arrest. 

Hours later (on April 20) at around 4:00 AM, Michaels was released from jail.

Michael's blood alcohol level was right at the legal limit [blowing a .08 and a .09 in two breathalyzer test].

Bills Star Mario Williams Suing Ex For Engagement Ring

Buffalo Bills star Mario Williams isn't playing when he's asking for his engagement ring from his ex-fiancee, as  it's being reported that Williams is now suing for his ring back.

Williams is suing Erin Marzouki, who meet in Houston while Williams was playing for the Houston Texans, over a hefty 10 karat, $785,000 ring. The two got engaged in February 2011, but this past January, Erin broke up with Williams.

Now the big question is... CAN SHE KEEP THE RING?

In the lawsuit, Williams details how much he spent on Erin while the two were together. Items included an American Express credit card, which she racked up $108,000 in charges in one year -- on top of the $230,000 in other gifts he showered on her that same year, according to court records.

Also, the lawsuit displays the bitterness between the two, as Williams claims, in court documents, that Erin used him for his fame and fortune.

Basically, if you add up the money he shelled out on Erin, he spent around 1,123,000 on her.

Terrell Owens Says He Wants To Play For The New England Patriots

Remember when Tom Brady and Terrell Owens was photographed together at USC in Los Angeles doing practice drills at the beginning of the offseason? Well apparently, Owens now wants to join the New England Patriots, according to a recent interview he did.

Owens, who hasn't played a regular season football game since 2010 [when he was with the Cincinnati Bengals] has expressed a strong desire to play with Tom Brady and the Patriots.

"I think it's a no-brainer. You look at what they've done over the year. Under the tutelage of Tom and Bellichick, I think the sky would be the limit in terms of what I'd be able to do. Considering my body of work and my history of playing the game," Owens said in the interview.

At 39-years-old, many feel that the Patriots would be taking a major risk just by thinking about bringing him to training camp. Also, it'll be a hard struggle for Owens to even gain a roster spot with the Patriots with all the young receivers the team has.

NFL Team Claims That Geno Smith Is A "Spoiled Brat"

According to a report, the reason why many NFL teams passed up on West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith was due mostly to the fact that he acted like a "spoiled brat" before the 2013 NFL Draft.

It's unknown which team  made the claim, but a source is saying that it was a 10-top draft team who claimed that they thought Smith was a diva. Also an NFC scout went as far as to say that Smith [who was drafted in the 2nd round by the New York Jets] would have a hard time with the New York crowds. 

"He's going to have a hard time in New York," the NFC scout said. "Right now, he's coming off as a spoiled, pampered brat." 

According to an Yahoo Sports article, Smith spent most of his time on his phone calling/texting people during team meetings leading up to the draft, and when asked about his character Smith said that who he is and how he plays speaks for itself. 

Yeah... a real diva for you.

Tim Tebow Has Emerged Out Of Hiding In A Sadden State [PHOTO]

Days after Tim Tebow was released from the New York Jets, a photo has emerged of him in a sadden state. 

According to the Denver Post, who posted the photo on their Facebook page, Tebow is photographed in a parking lot [unknown where], as it appears he's either thinking hard, praying, or sadden over the fact that the Jets cut him. 

According to sources, Tebow has gone into hiding due to the fact that many NFL experts and fans around the country believe that Tebow is an NFL bust.

Also another reason why he's gone into hiding is because no NFL team wants to sign him to their team, a sign that he's a failure.

And we all know that Tebow doesn't like to fail at something, as best explain in the video [below].



Matt Cassel Claims That He Taught Tom Brady Everything He Knows

Somewhere in New England, fans of the New England Patriots are screaming BULLSH*T to the claim made by Minnesota Vikings quarterback Matt Cassel.

According to a report, Cassel claims that he "taught" Patriots legendary QB Tom Brady everything he knows. As Cassel spoke with the Vikings media, he spoke in a cool, calm, collective tone, "I taught Tom everything."

"I thought he really started to flourish after I got there. [Laughs] A lot of people don't understand much time we spent together. It's important to be together and be good teammates. And when you have a good [quarterback] room, it makes everybody better in the room. That's what it's all about."

Cassel should have stopped when the reporters started laughing [at him].

Mike Wallace Post Homophobic Tweet About Gay People [PICS]

NBA star Jason Collins became the first American professional athlete to declare that he's gay. Hours later, Miami Dolphins $60-million WR star Mike Wallace took to his Twitter page to post a homophobic message about all gay people.

Below, Wallace tweeted the following, "I'm not bashing anybody don't have anything against anyone I just don't understand it." Wallace then followed with another tweet, "All these beautiful women in the world and guys wanna mess with other guys SMH..."

Wallace later deleted the two tweets and then posted [below] an apology.

Surely the tweet will cost Wallace some major money.
