This guy is what is referred to as a "heavyweight." And a "moron."
Police said a man was arrested on Monday for his 22nd drunken driving offense—and his blood-alcohol content tested almost five times higher than New Mexico’s legal limit. State Police Lt. Eric Garcia said an officer pulled up to a car parked along a highway and found a 51-year-old man on the ground near his vehicle.“He was coherent,” Garcia said. “He showed signs of slurred speech, as might be normal for any DWI arrest, which led the officer to believe he might be driving under the influence.”
Garcia said the suspect had to be taken by ambulance to Christus St. Vincent hospital in Santa Fe, where a blood-alcohol analysis showed a content level of .393 percent. New Mexico’s limit for presumed intoxication is .08 percent.
Police said records showed the man has been arrested five times in New Mexico and at least 16 times elsewhere.

Chad Ochocinco adds "Kicker" to his resume
The Bengals issued halftime quotes and this is what Chad Ochocinco had to say about his successful extra point (he kicked because Shayne Graham is being held out with a groin injury):"'Esteban' Ochocinco is back. The most interesting footballer in the world. Everyone has to remember, I've always said that soccer is my No. 1 sport. I think Ronaldinho would be proud of me right now."

Family Uno game goes horribly wrong
An Orem man whose luck ran out in a game of UNO was arrested for aggravated assault after police say he smacked a 64-year-old woman and then threatened her husband with a large kitchen knife.The 58-year-old man, who had been drinking, was playing cards in his home about 10:30 p.m. on Saturday with his 47-year-old nephew and the nephew's wife near 400 East and 1800 South.
He became agitated and smacked the woman on the back of the head. When his nephew told him to stop, the man reached up to do it again, said Orem police Lt. Gary Downey.
The couple decided to leave and gathered their belongings. The man grabbed his nephew's arm and punched him, Downey said. The nephew pushed the man, and the two continued fighting.

Royce Gracie probably didn't train like this...
A 22-year-old man who was allegedly “begging for a fight,” Tuesday night got one — and a trip to the Kitsap County jail. “Rocks began to rain down,” on five people gathered behind the TJ Maxx Store sometime around 7:40 p.m., according to Kitsap County Sheriff’s reports.
The 22-year-old man emerged as the thrower and told the group, who ranged in age from 15 to 50, that he was preparing for the Ultimate Fighting Championship and “he needed to practice getting knocked out so he could prepare,” deputies wrote.
Though the group asked the man to leave, he allegedly “sucker punched,” a 21-year-old and a fight broke out. The 22-year-old eventually pulled a pocket knife, deputies wrote, and swung it at the 21-year-old before he lost control of the weapon.
The 22-year-old told a deputy investigating the incident that he’d never been in a fight before.

Is this luckier than a penny? Also, thanks Florida.
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, Fla. -- Indian River County deputies are trying to figure out who left $1 million worth of cocaine just lying around. On Saturday morning, eyewitnesses saw a suspicious looking burlap sack in Sebastian Inlet and called police. Inside the bag they found approximately 60-pounds of cocaine.Deputies have not been able to link the sack to a suspect.
Authorities want the public to be aware that handling these types of products is not only against the law, but extremely dangerous. The Indian River County Sheriff's Office encourages anyone that comes across illegal drugs or unknown packages to contact the local law enforcement or the United States Coast Guard.

Isn't sleeping with this woman punishment enough?
A married man who planned a motel tryst with one of his several lovers was instead ambushed by four women including his wife. Donessa Davis was lured into a room by Therese Ziemann where he agreed to a bondage session, but once he was securely tied up she, her sister Michelle Belliveau, Wendy Sewell, and wife Tracy Hood-Davis attacked him.
The women's plot unfolded last Thursday at the Lakeview Motel near the scenic shores of Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin.
Ziemann struck the man in the face, and used glue to attach his penis to his stomach.
He started screaming and the women ran off worried that he could get loose and hurt them, but took his wallet, car and phone.
Ziemann told police she met the man online, fell in love and paid for a room at the motel for the past two months. She said she gave him about 3,000 dollars.

One of the great American hockey players hangs up the skates...
Jeremy Roenick, choking up throughout his farewell speech, leaves the game as one of four Americans who scored at least 500 goals. He finished with 513. "This is a great day for me," Roenick said. "I had the greatest career I could possibly imagine. My body can't do it any more even though my head and my passion are still in the game. I know, truly in my heart, it's time to leave the game."
Roenick also had 703 assists in 1,363 regular-season games with the Chicago Blackhawks, Phoenix Coyotes, Philadelphia Flyers, Los Angeles Kings and Sharks.
Roenick had 53 goals and 69 assists in 154 games with the Blackhawks, Coyotes, Flyers and Sharks in the playoffs. His six goals in Game 7s is tied for second all time.

Beer, by any means necessary
With a revoked license because of a previous drunken-driving conviction, Dennis Cretton shouldn't drive.But authorities in southwestern Illinois say that didn't stop the 49-year-old Belleville-area man from drunkenly driving up to a gas station for more beer -- on his yellow riding lawnmower.
Cretton has been charged with felony aggravated driving under the influence after neighbors reported he was weaving in and out of traffic on his lawnmower Friday night.
When deputies tried to stop him, authorities say Bretton drove the mower into his home's front yard, his 12-pack of Milwaukee's Best spilling onto the ground along the way.
Cretton is free on $10,000 bond. Calls to his home went unanswered Tuesday.
Patriotic or disrespectful?
A California dad is refusing to take down the tattered and torn American flag that's been flying on his lawn in Fresno for almost a year, despite complaints from neighbors on his military-heavy block and from a national veterans group that says he's mistreating the Stars and Stripes.Even passersby have phoned Louis Haros, demanding that he take down his weather-beaten flag immediately.
But Haros, a Vietnam veteran, told his son last September that he'd wave that flag until he comes home from Iraq.
And a promise is a promise.
"I made a promise to him that it won't come down until he's home," Haros told FOXNews.com on Tuesday. "Well, it's still there. I feel if I bring it down and something happens to him … I don't know."

Andre the Giant: World's greatest drinker
While it can be argued that a miniscule handful of professional wrestlers matched Andre’s in-ring achievements, no other wrestler ever matched his exploits as a drunkard. In fact, no other human has ever matched Andre as a drinker. He is the zenith. He is the Mount Everest of inebriation.As far as great drunkards go, there is Andre the Giant, and then there is everyone else.
First, consider the number 7,000. It’s an important number, and a rather scary one considering its context, which is this—it has been estimated that Andre the Giant drank 7,000 calories worth of booze every day. The figure doesn’t include food. Just booze.
When ill health forced Andre to largely quit wrestling in the late ‘80s, he accepted the role of Fezzik in Rob Reiner’s movie The Princess Bride. Everyone on the set loved the big man, with the possible exception of Reiner himself. Ever the sociable fellow, he kept fellow cast members Mandy Patinkin and Carey Elwes out night after night, drinking and otherwise goofing around. As a result, they often showed up on set still loaded or suffering from the sort of hangovers that make death seem a pleasant alternative. Reiner tried to get Andre to leave the actors alone, but Andre could only be Andre, and the other cast members continued to pay the price.
His bar bill for the month-long stay?
Just a shade over $40,000.

Melky hits for the cycle!
The moment his fly ball sailed over Jermaine Dye's head, there was no way Melky Cabrera was settling for a double.Needing a triple to complete the cycle, Cabrera lowered his head and ran as hard as he could, beating the throw to third to make history.
"After I got the double, home run and base hit, I knew the triple would do it," Cabrera said through an interpreter. "When the ball went over Jermaine Dye's head, I knew I had a chance. I started running even harder. I was thinking triple."
It was just the 15th cycle in Yankees history, and the first since Tony Fernandez did it on Sept. 3, 1995, against the A's in the Bronx. The last Yankee to record a cycle on the road was Joe DiMaggio, who did it in 1948, also in Chicago.

Have a bar in your home for $20!
For the 30 percent of beer drinkers who say they prefer draft beer to bottled or canned, MillerCoors LLC has a home solution. The Chicago-based company recently debuted the "Home Draft" -- a $20, 1½-gallon box of its biggest brands -- Miller Lite and Coors Light -- that fits upright in a refrigerator and stays fresh for 30 days.
The nation's second-largest brewer began testing the draft-beer system -- designed to be consumed periodically, rather than for one-time use -- in a half-dozen cities.
The new product, in a recyclable container, costs about 15 percent more than an 18-pack of the same beer, according to the company, and is among new products and package innovation coming from beer companies battling for market share in a crowded industry that has seen slowing sales.

"No positive spin is possible. Admit mistake."
Government officials knew the Air Force One flyover of the Statue of Liberty would scare the bejabbers out of New Yorkers, but went ahead with it anyway and quickly realized their bigtime blunder.A barrage of e-mails between officials right after the flight made public Friday showed a flurry of second guessing, finger-pointing, attempts at damage control - even comparisons between them and The Three Stooges.
