EATING DIRT
@dhasickestt

Welcome to "What the HELL are are you doing?!" -- starring LSU RB Derrius Guice ... who nearly flipped an ATV trying to pull off a 4-wheeled trick and almost CRUSHED himself in the process.

If you didn't know, Guice is an absolute stud (he led the SEC in rushing last year, even while LSU had this other guy), a legit Heisman candidate, and a surefire 1st-rounder in the NFL draft next year.

That, of course, could all change if he were to do anything stupid ... LIKE HURTING HIMSELF ON A FREAKIN' ATV ... something that almost happened in a video Guice posted to his own Instagram account!

The stupid machine flips, almost crushing DG and his passenger, but luckily it didn't -- meaning he'll be ready to go against Mississippi State on Saturday, LSU's first SEC game of the year.

Guice assured his fans that "everything is fine" -- adding, "Before y'all start commenting BS. Let me have my fun. I won't get hurt so shhh."

Derrius, from an LSU fan (hi, it's Van) ... CUT THE CRAP NOW!

LaVar Ball I'm Making My Own $1,500 Shoe ... The LaVar-iccis!

Published | Updated

Better start saving up, BBB fans -- LaVar Ball says he's designing his own signature shoe ... and they're gonna cost $1,500. AT LEAST!!

LaVar dropped the bombshell during a live Q&A on Sunday -- when a fan asked the Big Baller dad when he was droppin' his own pair of kicks.

LaVar doesn't have a release date yet -- but says the shoes will be called "The LaVar-iccis" ... and are gonna cost MORE THAN TRIPLE Lonzo Ball's $495 ZO2s (and almost 4x LaMelo Ball's $395 MB1s).

Why so much?

"Cause I’m gonna design 'em and they gonna be flyyy ... my bad, they gonna be baller-ized!"

Is he for real on the price tag? At this point, we wouldn't put it past him.

Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield Unnecessarily Apologizes ... For OSU Flag Planting

Published | Updated

Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield says he's soooo sorry for sticking the OU flag on the Ohio State logo after beating the Buckeyes on Saturday ... saying his emotions got the best of him.

Mayfield's Sooners put the smack down on OSU in a 31-16 victory at The Horseshoe -- and bitter Ohio State fans are saying the flag move was straight up disrespectful (shoulda won then, huh).

Now, Mayfield is apologizing for the move -- saying, "I didn't mean for it to be disrespectful" ... adding, "I got caught up in an emotional win."

Mayfield says the gloating should have been saved for the locker room and the utter display of dominance should not have gone down in the middle of the field.

Is he right? No. That was awesome.

NOT MY AREA OF CONCERN

Tom Brady says he doesn't have any sort of relationship with Colin Kaepernick -- explaining, "I've never really had a conversation with him."

The New England Patriots QB called in to WEEI radio on Monday and was asked if he's been paying attention to the Kaepernick saga -- and the ongoing national anthem demonstrations around the league.

Brady says he doesn't give Kaepernick much thought because his attention "goes a lot of places" at this time of the year ... and he's too busy to think about Colin.

Tom was also pressed on if he was proud that his teammates don't sit or take a knee during the anthem -- to which he explained, "I don't really pay attention to that."

As far as Tom's non-relationship with Colin -- Kaepernick went to bat for Tom back in 2015 during the Deflategate scandal ... saying, "No football in the world is going to help you win by 38! Let it go and let Tom be great!"

Kid Rock Kaepernick Is Unemployed Because He Sucks ... Not Over Protest

Published | Updated

Colin Kaepernick is NOT being blackballed by the NFL, he's unemployed because he's not a good quarterback -- so says Kid Rock.

The rock star has been blasting Kaepernick at his concerts for a while -- pissed off over his national anthem protest.

But after his latest shot at Kaep, Kid decided to clarify his stance on the QB.

"To be clear -- F*ck ANYONE who takes a knee or sits during our national anthem," Kid Rock said in a Facebook post.

"Pretty sure if Russell Wilson or Tom Brady were doing it they would have no problem finding a job playing for any team they wanted in the NFL! So cut the bullsh*t!"

Kid Rock has been under fire for using the Confederate flag at his shows. Some people have straight up called him racist -- but Kid says he's not.

In fact, he wrote, "I LOVE BLACK PEOPLE!!"

Steph Curry Free Kaepernick ... He 'Shook Up the World'

Published | Updated

Steph Curry is disgusted that Colin Kaepernick is still in the unemployment line ... and he's got a message for all the NFL teams refusing to sign him -- FREE KAEP.

Steph was in attendance for the 49ers vs. Panthers game at Levi's Stadium ... and shared a photo of the field with a #FreeKaep caption.

This statement comes a day after Curry spoke about Kaep deserving an NFL roster spot ... adding that his national anthem protests "shook up the world ... for the better."

“He definitely should be in the NFL," Steph told The Charlotte Observer.

"If you’ve been around the NFL, the top 64 quarterbacks, and he’s not one of them? Then I don’t know what game I’m watching."

As for Kaep ... the former Niners QB was social media silent on Sunday -- but his Know Your Rights Camp account posted messages urging fans to boycott the NFL.

NFL Appeals Ezekiel Elliott Injunction

Published | Updated

The NFL isn't giving up in the fight to punish Ezekiel Elliott -- the league has just filed court docs to appeal the preliminary injunction that had been awarded to the Dallas Cowboys running back last week.

The point of filing the appeal ... the league wants to enforce the 6-game suspension as soon as possible, ideally this season -- and the appeal is the best way to try and get that result.

So, what's next? The NFL will file more papers detailing why they think the judge who handed out the preliminary injunction got it wrong. Elliott will then respond to those arguments.

Eventually, a 3 judge panel will likely hear the appeal. The panel could reverse the decision which would give the NFL the power to enforce the suspension ASAP.

According to our lawyer (hey, he went to Harvard), it's possible the decision could be reached by the end of the season.

Adrien Broner I've Got Problems ... I Need Help

Published | Updated

Adrien Broner is making a public plea for help ... this after the boxer was seen in a frightening violent outburst on the streets of Las Vegas.

"I know I got problems I just want help," Broner posted on social media late Sunday night ... "Just need someone to talk too."

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Broner erupted while walking on the Vegas strip on Friday night -- forcefully shoving a woman before clocking a man in the face and knocking him out.

Broner says he can't get any of his friends to talk with him -- it seems like a message to Floyd Mayweather, who essentially took him under his wing the last time Broner needed help.

Ezekiel Elliott Wins Injunction 6-Game Suspension On Hold

Published | Updated

Big win for Ezekiel Elliott -- who was just granted a preliminary injunction from a federal judge in Texas ... which blocks the NFL from imposing his 6-game suspension ... at least for now.

What does it mean -- Zeke will likely play the entire NFL season without missing a single game.

The NFL Player's Association had filed the lawsuit on behalf of Elliott, claiming the Dallas Cowboys star did not get a fair hearing in front of the arbitrator in his appeal of the domestic violence punishment.

The judge agreed ... saying there was a "cloud of fundamental unfairness" in the proceedings. The judge didn't think it was fair for Elliott to be punished with that cloud looming.

The judge points out two "gross errors" in the arbitration -- which were the decision to not include the accuser, Tiffany Thompson, and NFL commish, Roger Goodell, as witnesses.

So, what happens next?

The NFL will likely file an emergency motion challenging the court's ruling. The chances the NFL wins that are slim.

Elliott and the NFLPA now have the green light to continue the legal fight to have the 6-game suspension voided altogether ... which is their ultimate goal.

That process could entail a huge, lengthy trial that could take months and months -- and until the case is settled and a judge rules on the validity of the suspension once and for all, Zeke gets to play.

Craig Carton I'm Not a Criminal ... I'm a Victim!!

Published | Updated

Craig Carton is adamant he's not the scumbag con artist he's being made out to be -- claiming he's an innocent victim who was set up by a group of very bad people.

But a rep for the sports radio star says he's NOT A BAD GUY -- the feds simply have a "gross misunderstanding of what happened."

A rep for Carton didn't provide too many details about his defense -- but would only say he's not going down without a fight.

“The government’s allegations against Craig Carton demonstrate a gross misunderstanding of what happened."

"Craig is a victim who was deceived, manipulated and used by individuals seeking to gather assets for their own fraudulent schemes."

The rep says Craig is a "good man" who is heavily involved in charity work to benefit children and police officers.

NFL's Josh Brown Gets Zeke Treatment 6 More Games for Domestic Abuse

Published | Updated

Talk about timing ... just days after Ezekiel Elliott had his 6-game suspension upheld, the NFL has circled back to Josh Brown -- banning the admitted domestic abuser 6 more games.

The veteran kicker sat out 1 game in 2016 ... after a lengthy investigation ultimately led to his release from the NY Giants.

The big difference from Zeke -- Brown has accepted his punishment, the NFL told Adam Schefter.

"We reopened the investigation based on new info ... concluded there was a violation of our personal conduct policy and imposed 6-game suspension which he accepted without appeal," the league said.

"Timing has nothing to do with Zeke ... made no sense to hold this until Zeke was complete.”

Brown -- who's currently UNEMPLOYED -- maintains that he never hit his wife ... after being arrested in May 2015 on suspicion of domestic assault. Charges were never filed.

As for Elliott ... the Dallas Cowboys superstar is hoping to hear from a U.S. District Court judge today in Texas. The RB -- who is slated to play in Week 1 -- is seeking a temporary restraining order so he can keep suiting up.
