<p>West is not allowed to visit the President&#8217;s home because he is still on probation following weapons charges he pleaded guilty to in 2010. &#8220;That&#8217;s what happens when you make bad decisions in your life. You can&#8217;t go to the White House,&#8221; said West.</p>
<p>West, who was born in D.C., wasn&#8217;t too upset about being left out of the trip, however. He said, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been there 100 times in my lifetime. I live right around the corner.&#8221;</p>

The New York Rangers won the battle on the ice, but for a couple Rangers fans that victory wasn&#8217;t enough to stave off some angry Philly fans.</p>
<p>Neal Auricchio was one of the victims of the beating. The 30-year-old off-duty cop and decorated war vet was hospitalized with a concussion. Auricchio earned a Purple Heart in Iraq before returning for a second tour of duty.</p>
<p>The brawl happened outside a restaurant near Citizens Bank Park. Three men in Flyers jerseys assaulted two men in Rangers jerseys. Philadelphia police are <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq4PLa253WI&amp;list=UUFNSXVFsx1uJ_2fcsQprxWw&amp;index=1&amp;feature=plcp" target="_blank">seeking the public&#8217;s help</a> in identifying the men responsible for the horrible beating.</p>

Hurd was charged with one count of conspiring to posses cocaine with the intent to distribute it. He appeared in court last night and will remain in custody until his attorney can arrange bond.</p>
<p>Hurd told the undercover agent he and another individual distributed about four kilograms of cocaine weekly in the Chicago area. He was meeting with the undercover agent because his normal supplier hadn&#8217;t been able to meet his needs.</p>
<p>What makes the story all the more interesting is the <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/MattSpiegel670/status/147378542064320512" target="_blank">report from 670 The Score</a> that a number of NFL players received drugs from Hurd.</p>
<p>Hurd&#8217;s three-year contract with the Bears had a maximum value of $5.15 million. He received a $1.35 million signing bonus.</p>

<p>Syracuse University head basketball coach Bernie Fine is under investigation by the Onondaga County District Attorney and the Secret Service after allegations he sexually molested at least three boys. Two are former Syracuse ball boys who say they were sexually molested for a decade-long period from the 1970s to the early 1990s. The latest victim to come forward claims he was molested nine years ago.</p>
<p>Perhaps the most shocking piece of evidence in the information given to the public is a recorded conversation between one of the alleged victims and Fines&#8217; wife, Laurie. Laurie says on the tape she knew about everything that went on between the ball boy and her husband. She also said she didn&#8217;t think he was the only victim. &#8220;Bernie has issues, maybe that he&#8217;s not aware of, but he has issues. &#8230;  And you trusted somebody you shouldn&#8217;t have trusted &#8230; &#8221; said Mrs. Fine.</p>
<p>Fine was fired by Syracuse this weekend.</p>

<p>Things have gone from bad to worst for Ramirez who was arrested on Monday night at his home in Florida on charges of domestic violence.

<p>Crittenton, who was a first-round pick for the Lakers traded to Memphis in the <a href="http://www.queenofsports.com/?s=pau+gasol" target="_blank">Pau Gasol</a> deal, is best known for his time spent with the Washington Wizards. Crittenton was involved in the infamous locker-room gun incident involving <a href="http://www.queenofsports.com/?s=gilbert+arenas" target="_blank">Gilbert Arenas</a> in 2009. The two drew guns on each other in the locker-room after a dispute about gambling debts.</p>
<p>The FBI released &#8220;Wanted&#8221; posters Monday for Crittenton, and later his attorney released a statement that his client was innocent but would be heading to Atlanta to &#8220;clear his name.&#8221; Authorities caught him at the airport in Southern California and apprehended him.</p>
<p>The  23-year-old mother who died in surgery for a gunshot wound to the leg was <a href="http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/family-mourns-as-nba-1150038.html?cxtype=rss_news" target="_blank">reportedly</a> going to to be proposed to by her longtime boyfriend on the same night she was shot. Such senseless violence is so disheartening, and we hope whoever is guilty is brought to justice.</p>
