Sports Blotter: Dead Duck

Meanwhile, across the state, University of Florida coach Urban Meyer caught his latest headache when wide receiver Frankie Hammond got busted for a DUI early last Sunday morning. Hammond was allegedly driving around with two open bottles of Crown Royal — one in the trunk and one in the back seat. Give Hammond the standard 25 points for DUI.

While Florida State has the juicier history and the more memorable nickname ("CrimiNoles"), Florida is rapidly becoming the arrest hub of the state, surpassing Miami as well. Hammond is reportedly the 28th Gator player to be arrested since Meyer took over the team in 2005.
