I love that Lenny Kravitz song, and it seemed like an appropriate title for this blog.
But before I get to the cabbies and athletes mixing it up, what's the deal with the Raiders?
We've known for years that everyone associated with that team is a pyscho. This includes the fans, all the way up to the owner, Mr. Al Davis.
Well, their head coach, Tom Cable, was accused of punching defensive assistant Randy Hanson in the face, breaking his jaw. They tried to deny everything, even though a few people associated with the team mentioned the story. Now, it turns out, the coach actually choked him and threatened his life as well.
That's a lot different than the report they initially issued, which stated that the assistant coach got hurt by falling out of a chair. I guess they were reading from the abusive husband handbook instead of the team playbook.
That story would top the cabbie stories, except for the fact that it involved the Raiders.
But Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib found a unique way to get out of football practice. He punched a taxi driver and was jailed on battery charges and resisting arrest.
He's only a second year pro, but has had his share of problems. Last year during a rookie symposium, he had a fight with a fellow teammate. He also had another confrontation with a teammate this offseason.
I think the NFL should start getting tough and just issue a statement that any player involved in any scuffle, even if the police drop the charges like they do with Charger players all the time, they should get an automatic year suspension. Upon a second offense, throw them out of the league.
Anyway, cab drivers aren't having much luck with athletes these days.
A star forward for the Chicago Blackhaws just pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges that he beat up a cabbie over a fare in early August.
Patrick Kane was with his cousin, and he's lucky the charges of second-degree robbery were dropped. That was a felony.
Because after his "altercation" he walked away without paying the driver.
And what did the fight stem from? Well, Kane wanted the 20 cents in change. The cab driver said he didn't have the 20 cents, and an argument led into punches being thrown, and the guys walking away without paying for the ride at all.
So, Lenny Kravitz and Danny Glover complain about how hard it is for African-Americans to get cabs to stop for them.
Pretty soon, cab drivers will avoid anyone with a sports bag, too.
