  • Keyshawn Johnson Arrested For Domestic Violence

    Former USC and NFL star Keyshawn Johnson was arrested early Monday morning in Calabasas, Calif. on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic battery.

    According to police, Keyshawn was involved in a fight with his girlfriend of seven years when things allegedly got physical. One source claims the two were arguing about getting married.

    Sources told TMZ the former wide receiver claims he never physically struck his girlfriend, but does admit to grabbing her phone and smashing it on the ground.

    Apparently, it was not Johnson’s girlfriend who called police, but another person who became concerned during the argument.

    Johnson, who is currently an NFL analyst on ESPN, was formally arrested and charged for misdemeanor domestic battery.

    Johnson, 41, was released after posting $20,000 in bail.

    Things seemed to have cooled off. The couple were out and about after the incident at a nearby AT&T store – one would guess it’s to buy a new cell phone.

    After starring at USC, Johnson was the No. 1 pick in the 1996 draft by the New York Jets. He played in the NFL for 11 years with the New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers.

    Isn’t it ironic that Johnson once called the police when Justin Bieber disturbed the Calabasas neighborhood a few months back?

    He almost came to blows with Bieber’s bodyguards over Bieber’s speeding through the neighborhood while small children were outside playing.

    Johnson tweeted his joy when he heard Bieber was arrested in January for speeding in Miami.

  • Keyshawn Johnson Celebrates Ex-Neighbor Justin Bieber’s Arrest

    There are a lot of people pleased by the fact that pop singer Justin Bieber didn’t just slide through the cracks with his latest run-in with the law. However, one man opted to personally share his relief with the world.

    Former New York Jets wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson couldn’t be more relieved that the 19-year-old was finally arrested for his reckless antics.

    While his personal stance may seem a bit cruel to some of the devoted “Beliebers,” there’s a reason for his lack of sympathy toward the “Beauty and the Beat” singer.

    For those who don’t know, Johnson and Bieber were actually neighbors in the upscale gated community in Calabasas, Calif where the singer resides. However, that was until the 3-time Pro Bowl star recently sold the home to reality TV couple Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick.

    A number of media outlets, notably Yahoo! OMG, have also reported that the troubled singer was one of the reasons Johnson opted from the gated community, as the two haven’t exactly gotten along well as neighbors.

    Now, with Bieber’s latest arrest in Miami, which was ironically for speeding, Johnson couldn’t be more pleased given he also accused the singer of speeding at one time.

    The ESPN analyst took to Twitter with his feelings about the singer’s latest run-in with the law.

    One notable dispute between Johnson and Bieber that garnered public attention took place on Memorial Day last year. Johnson actually confronted Bieber whom he accused of speeding in his Ferrari through the residential area while his small children were outside playing.

    He even went so far as to drive over to Bieber’s home and personally confront him. The dispute basically went unresolved as their opposition didn’t end there. However, Johnson did make an attempt to reach out to Bieber after his home was raided by police, but to no avail. Unfortunately, Johnson’s efforts were rebuffed.

  • Mike Ditka Fell Asleep During Sunday NFL Countdown [Video]

    Despite the fact that the crew was reporting on one of the most meaningful Sundays of the season, and the final week of the NFL’s regular season, Mike Ditka was somehow able to fall asleep during the ESPN broadcast.

    Mike Ditka was not able to hold it together long enough to finish the broadcast of Sunday NFL countdown before dozing off.

    During the segment, he fell asleep, and was woken up by former wide receiver and fellow commentator, Keyshawn Johnson, when he gave the veteran commentator a nudge to wake him up.

    Perhaps he has just been too active lately, and the 74-year-old was simply trying to get some rest. In a big moment for the former player and coach, his jersey was retired by the Chicago Bears in a touching ceremony on December 9th at Solider Field.

    He was nudged by Keyshawn Johnson, who was able to wake him, after being asked about the Chicago Bears game multiple times. As the legendary coach for the Chicago Bears, one would think that Mike Ditka would have some things to say about the game.

    Unfortunately, he fell asleep when the commentating team started talking about the game between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears. In any case, Mike Ditka’s Bears were not able to get the job done, and lost to the Green Bay Packers, a game that sent them to the playoffs with the help of Aaron Rodgers and his return to the field.

    Luckily, Keyshawn Johnson was there to help out, but what could have caused Mike Ditka to fall asleep on the show? Should it be any concern for ESPN on his ability as a commentator, or was he simply tired?
