Semin-hole
In a story that almost defies commentary, seven-foot Florida State basketball recruit Jon Kreft was arrested last week on drug-and-traffic charges after he was caught hiding marijuana in his car and cocaine in his rectum.
The outline of the case is as follows: Kreft was pulled over for a traffic stop. Officers observed him reaching under the seat of the car. He consented to a search, and the officers found marijuana under the seat. Kreft then volunteered to police that he had “something else” — at which point he bent over and spread his buttocks, and a baggie with 1.7 grams of coke fell out.
My question here is, who was doing the coke with Kreft? And did he or she know where he was keeping it?
Kreft, an up-and-coming prep star who just played in the prestigious Jordan Classic, may now lose his scholarship. When you’re too hot for Florida State, you know you have problems.
What about Bob?
The Phoenix has to give it up for Bob Reno, editor of the invaluable Badjocks.com column, who scored a nationwide scoop recently by publishing some outstanding photos of the Northwestern women’s-soccer-team initiation photos — note the lap dance/spit-swapping ritual. Reno’s site is unsurpassed in its efforts to publish exclusive pictures of athletes in compromising positions; nice to see him get some ink. Check out his photos of the Quinnipiac men’s-baseball team, the Catholic University women’s-lacrosse team (what is it about lacrosse this year?), and more, at badjocks.com.
