HBO sportscaster Jim Lampley plead no contest today, to the charge of violating a restraining order on New Year's Eve, when cops responded to an altercation at his ex-fiancee's San Diego apartment.
Lampley was sentenced to three months probation and community service.
San Diego police arrested Lampley on January 2, after an alleged night of drinking and pot smoking. Candice Sanders later claimed he threw her against the wall of her apartment.

Jerk should be doing Jail time. Guess its ok to beat up a woman out there, even if just the first time. That fucker is like Ryan ONeal, walking around life pissed off and feeling entitled and when anyone, even those close to them remotely threaten that entitelment, they cant control themselves. Probably something learned from his Daddy. Hope he hasnt passed it on. The Abuser should bow out and head for a quiet retirement sans women and loved ones nearby.

Lampley was given three years probation, not months. In addition to 40 hours of public community service, Lampley must also attend Domestic Violence Counseling for 52 weeks.

Give Mr. Lampley a break. This man has had a very distinguished career. He has conducted himself with great professionalism. Tried very hard to salvage his marriage with Brie Walker, whom he showed great respect for.
His misjudgement here comes from this. Yes, Candice is a very attractive young woman. However, to date she has accomplished little. A marriage to a man who did not want to do what is natural with her? Now an older man who she clearly could not function with on an intellectual level becomes her prey! So Mr. Lampley becomes the victim of the human ego. A young woman who is used to being talked at and not to. She hopefully will mature and very hopefully Mr. Lampley will realize that he needs a more mature/intellectual partner.
Many thanks to ESPN and HBO for standing behind him. Good luck Jim. Learn from this and go on. You are too good not to.
