Mark Konkol of the Chicago Sun-Times writes:

A Cook County judge has issued an arrest warrant for Allan Rose, whose brother is NBA MVP Derrick Rose.

The warrant was issued after Allan Rose, 26, did not appear in court on Tuesday — the same day the Bulls beat the Hawks to take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. He was to be in court to face misdemeanor reckless conduct charges stemming from his arrest last month in the North Pullman neighborhood. Allan Rose attended the Bulls game at the United Center on Tuesday.

All indications say the older Rose just missed his date at the courthouse but was around to watch his younger bother help carry the Bulls to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since the Michael Jordan era.

Whatever his excuse is for missing his court date for reckless conduct, this is not the right time for him to be bringing bad publicity to the Rose name.

Allan Rose has also pleased guilty to felony drug charges in the past.

Jay Mariotti Faces Felony Stalking, Domestic Violence and Assault Charges

Forget about getting his sportswriting career back on track, Jay Marrioti, a former personality on ESPN's "Around the Horn" is a long way from rebuilding this career.

The former Chicago Sun-Times writer, continues on his downward spiral after news surfaced that he supposedly continues to harass a former girlfriend.

The Los Angeles Times writes:

Former ESPN sports personality Jay Mariotti has been charged with three felonies -– stalking, domestic violence and assault -– after he confronted his ex-girlfriend the same day a court ordered him to stay away from her, prosecutors said.

He pleaded not guilty Wednesday to the charges: stalking, corporal injury on a spouse or domestic partner, and assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury. He was also charged with two misdemeanor counts of disobeying a court order. If convicted, he faces up to five years in state prison. His next court date is June 1 before Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz.

Back in his hey dey, Mariotti was very critical and unforgiving of the athletes he used to cover.  Now it's only fitting that he be given the same kind of treatment for these new charges.

Although Mariotti's lawyer contends that the charges are baseless, this isn't the first time something like this has happened for Mariotti.  He once pleaded no contest for misdemeanor domestic violence, for allegedly pulling a chunk of hair out.

If any of these charges are true, Mariotti may as well call his career as a sports journalist over.  Well, actually it probably already is.

Malori Wampler Cries Foul and Wants to Be Rehired

Trouble is brewing for the Indianapolis Colts after former cheerleader Malori Wampler has filed a lawsuit against the team, claiming that she was discriminated against when she was let go in the middle of the season.

MUST READ: The 25 Most Popular Sports Hotties on the Internet

The IndyStar writes:

Malori Wampler, 27, Indianapolis, was fired last November when a fan sent in pictures that showed her posing in what resembled a painted-on bikini. Her private parts were covered.

Her attorney claims she didn’t violate any of the Colts’ rules of conduct for cheerleaders, which forbid them from committing “any act that will or may create notoriety,” because the photos were taken before the Colts hired her.

Wampler, who is Indonesian, says the Colts discriminated against her based on her gender and ethnicity because other cheerleaders — as well as Colts players, who must follow similar rules of conduct — have committed acts that created “notoriety” but were allowed to keep their jobs.

Even though the Colts contend that her claims have "no merit" it's looking like there could be some truth to her allegations.

Wampler did pose for "Playboy" but it was before her time with the Colts and she didn't exactly pose nude, she was wearing body paint during her pictorials.

It will be interesting how this case turns out.  If a judge does rule in Wampler's favor, it could potentially cost the Colts a pretty penny in damages.

Definitely much more than the $100 per game, they were paying her while she was a cheerleader.

Kym Johnson Takes Bad Spill During "Dancing with the Stars" Rehearsals

The chances of Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward to win "Dancing with the Stars" has taken a serious setback on Friday when news circulated that his dance partner Kym Johnson suffered an injury during rehearsals for the show, per TMZ.

MUST READ: The 25 Most Popular Sports Hotties on the Internet

No details about the extent of her injury was released except that it was described as a "nasty spill."  Johnson's rep told TMZ that she was taken a Los Angeles are hospital for "precautionary measures to assure she is OK."

Ward and Johnson are in the show's final four and have been viewed as a favorite to win the competition since the season started.

Although the news of the injury doesn't sound that serious, should Johnson be unable to compete with her injury, Ward will likely be paired with another professional dancer that has already been eliminated this season. 

The duo is only a week away from the making the finale and you can bet Johnson will do her best to be ready for next week's show.

Something tells me though that the dancing gods don't want Ward to take home the trophy.  Last week he was erroneously arrest by the L.A.P.D. for being inside a car that was report to be stolen.  But Ward shook it off and kept on dancing. 

We can expect him to do the same this week.

Vanessa Bryant May Turn Into Next Lakers Wife Reality TV Star

Kobe Bryant's wife Vanessa was blamed for the Lakers' untimely demise during the playoffs when they fell to the Dallas Mavericks in a four games.  But perhaps fans and critics got way too ahead of themselves in pointing the finger at Vanessa, who was once the reason for a tiff between Bryant and former teammate Karl Malone.

The Lakers fell apart int he playoffs because their perimeter defense was weak and the play of Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom was virtually non-existent.

She's innocent folks, we can't put the faults of the Lakers on her.  For now, at least.  There's word that Mrs. Bryant may be interested in following in the footsteps of fellow Laker wife Khloe Kardashian to film her own reality show.

From the OCWeekly:

Vanessa is now said to be shopping a reality show of her own, even though Kobe made it quite clear to KCAL's John Ireland recently that Black Mamba ain't into doing one. That might explain why he never pops up even in background shots of players practicing on Khloe and Lamar. The rumor-mongers counter Vanessa's saving tape of her man for her own televised gig.

Two words: Oh boy.

No more reality shows please!  Even if Kobe doesn't plan on becoming involved in a possible show for his wife, this could just turn into disaster.

If the Lakers prove to be just as disappointing next season, a Vanessa Bryant reality show will become an instant candidate as the scapegoat for the Lakers' futility.

Please no, say it ain't so.

The boob tube is only big enough for one Lakers wife, Khloe Kardashian.  Not two.

Good for you Troy.  You're a true leader and a great role model for the younger players in the league.

Oh, Sanchito.  You're not going to be winning any popularity contests anytime soon.

Danica Patrick Shows off Her Racecar and Asks Ibuprofen Use

NASCAR sensation Danica Patrick made a guest appearance on the hit daytime show "The Doctors" recently to touch a little be on racing, road safety and even some concerns about her health.

During one segment of the show, Patrick asked about her use of ibuprofen during her races. Patrick admitted that she takes it as a precaution before any inflammation even arises, which she was told was a mistake.

Tsk. tsk. tsk.

Dr. Travis Lane Stork told Danica that taking ibuprofen "too much" and "too long" could cause significant damage to her gastrointestinal track, among other conditions.

Patrick said she takes "up to nine" ibuprofen a day. 

Yikes.  Well, for a woman that's used to living life in the fast lane, we really didn't expect her to take just one or two ibuprofen tablets. 

Seriously though Danica, maybe it's time to slow down the ibuprofen use.  We'd rather be seeing more of you on the racetrack than hearing about you getting sick.

Bryan Stow Remains in Coma But Search for Attackers Step Up

The search continues for the two men who brutally beat San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow at a Dodgers parking lot on opening day. 

Since that tragic day, Stowe has remained in a coma, beaten to the brink of death and there's plenty of uncertainty to surrounding his recovery.  Today, billboard company Lamar Advertising Co. put up over 200 billboards in Los Angeles with sketches of the two men who beat up Stow and offered a $100,000 reward for any information that would lead to their arrest.

Los Angeles police detective P.J. Morris told the Santa Cruz Sun Sentinel:

I think it's a great thing that this company's doing this. I think it will certainly generate more people calling. Anything out there that can generate interest in the public, the better.

It was a very classy move by the billboard company, who plans to add another 100 signs in the next week.

What those two men did to Stowe was motivated by pure hate and lack of respect for the life of another human being. Hopefully someone step up with information because those two attackers need to be brought to justice
