Randall Cunningham's young son dies in tragic accident!!!

Terrible news for former NFL quarterback Randall Cunningham and his family — Cunningham's 2-year-old son Christian drowned Tuesday afternoon in a hot tub in the backyard of Cunningham's Nevada home. Las Vegas Police Lieutenant Dennis Flynn has been quoted as saying that it was an accident. According to initial reports, Cunningham was not at home Tuesday afternoon when the child was found, and that an unnamed woman tried to resuscitate the child after finding him at about 4:30 p.m. She called 911 at 4:45, and the child was taken to St. Rose Dominican Hospital, Siena campus, where he passed away.

Cunningham, 47, is an ordained minister in Las Vegas. According to a family friend who talked with ABC News, when the news broke, about 100 people came to the Cunningham home to sing, pray, and grieve with the family. Cunningham is the pastor of a church he founded called Remnant Ministries. He has performed baptisms in that same hot tub, according to reports. From ABC:

"We were there for support," said [a] church member, who asked not to be identified by name. "It's about being a church family and supporting the family ... I just can't imagine going through a tragedy like this without having a church family there for you."

The family friend also described Christian Cunningham to an ABC News reporter.

"He was always active and running around, smiling and giving everybody hugs and jumping on their laps. He was so full of life. He was not only the Cunningham child, he was also the church's child. He trusted everybody."

Police spokespeople have told news sources that there is an open investigation into the child's death, though no foul play or neglect is assumed. It appears to be a horrible, random accident.

More friends and family will gather at Cunningham's church Thursday to show support.

Cunningham, who passed for 29,979 yards and 207 touchdowns in his 16-year NFL career from 1985 to 2001, made four Pro Bowls and is considered the prototype of the modern mobile quarterback. He played for the Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens. He took his son onto the field last year (pictured above) when he was inducted into the Eagles Hall of Fame at a halftime ceremony.

Cunningham and his wife, Felicity, have three other children: Randall II, Vashti and Grace.

Cuban: Nowitzki not leaving Mavericks

By Mark J. Miller

Dirk Nowitzki(notes) can opt out of his contract this summer and join the teeming masses of talented NBA players that will be wandering America's streets looking for new, highly lucrative deals.

But Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, never one to shy away from expressing his opinion, says that he thinks Nowitzki is going to stick around for next season, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Cuban apparently spent some time with Nowitzki and some other players this past weekend so you figure he must have some idea what he's talking about.

"We had a good talk," Cuban told the paper. "He knows our priority is to keep him and win a championship, which is his goal as well. I'm optimistic things will work out."

Bosh gives signs he's leaving Toronto

By Mark J. Miller

Chris Bosh(notes) will be one of the big-name free agents available on July 1 and unlike Dwyane Wade(notes) and LeBron James(notes), it is fully expected that he won't be re-signing with the Toronto Raptors.

According to the Toronto Star, Bosh has been giving off a lot of signs recently that he's soon to be history in Toronto. He apparently made some changes on his Twitter account, eliminating Toronto as his location and making it "Everywhere." And he took off a part in his biography that identified him as the captain of the Raptors.

Plus, he was sitting courtside in Southern California Tuesday night for the Los Angeles Lakers-Utah Jazz playoff standoff and tweeted, "Sitting here watching the games wishing I was playing. I wonder if that MVP trophy is heavy?"

Say goodbye to Bosh, Toronto.

Pacman deal coming today?

By Mark J. Miller

The Cincinnati Bengals is doing everything it can to get the man they call Pacman, Adam Jones(notes), signed to its roster but a few things still needed to be worked out as of last night, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The two sides apparently spent the day yesterday trying to hammer out actually how the deal would be structured. The main sticking point was supposedly what the incentive-based bonuses and the personal-conduct clause would say in the contract.

A final decision on whether the team can work out a deal for the cornerback is supposedly expected today.

Dwyane Wade: 'Foreplay' Lawsuit Is Total BS

Dwyane Wade claims he's "saddened" and "shocked" by a new lawsuit filed by his estranged wife -- in which she claims the NBA star is damaging their children by engaging in "sexual foreplay" with his new girlfriend in public.



The woman behind the lawsuit is Siohvaughn Wade -- the mother of Dwyane's two sons. Siohvaughn just filed a new lawsuit, on behalf of the two minor children (an 8-year-old and a 2-year-old) -- claiming Wade has engaged in "extreme and outrageous conduct" with his new GF Gabrielle Union in front of Wade's two children.

But Wade tells TMZ, "I am shocked that Siohvaughn Wade has brought this baseless and meritless lawsuit in the name of our children against Gabrielle Union."

Wade adds, "I am deeply saddened and disappointed that Siohvaughn has used our sons once again as pawns and is now lashing out at Gabrielle, who is an innocent party. It is clear that this is a desperate attempt to retaliate against me for seeking sole custody of our children and requesting that the court have her undergo a psychiatric examination."

Wade concludes, "My primary concern is my children and actions such as this only inflame the situation and are harmful to their well being.”

UPDATE: TMZ just spoke with a rep for Gabrielle Union who also rejects Siohvaughn's claims -- and apologizes to the court system for having to deal "with erroneous claims when there are real victims who should be receiving the legal attention they need."

Derrick Coleman feels the blues of being broke!! What's next? Wife on Basketball Wives??!!

Former National Basketball Association No. 1 draft-pick Derrick Coleman who filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection last month, says he owes his creditors nearly $4.7 million.

The ex-Syracuse University standout and 1991 NBA Rookie of the Year earned tens of millions during a 15-year playing career but listed assets of just $1 million in papers filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Detroit, Coleman’s hometown.

Coleman’s desire to invest in the Detroit area after his playing career ended contributed to his financial problems, Coleman’s bankruptcy attorney Mark B. Berke said Friday.

Among Coleman’s ventures is a struggling Detroit development called Coleman’s Corner, an attempt to revive one of the city’s most downtrodden neighborhoods. Coleman defaulted on loans related to the mall last year.

“Mr. Coleman was focused on investing in various communities throughout the city of Detroit by developing real estate, creating jobs and revitalizing business opportunities,” Berke said. “Due to the state of the economy, including the decline in the real estate market, Mr. Coleman’s investments could not be sustained.”

Colemen’s other business interests include ownership stakes in the Hilton Garden Suites hotel in downtown Detroit, a Tim Hortons Inc. doughnut shop franchise and Hungry Howie’s Pizza store, according to court papers.

Coleman filed for Chapter 7 protection in March but only recently provided details of his assets and debts. The Chapter 7 filing indicates that the onetime New Jersey Nets forward intends to liquidate his assets in order to pay back creditors.

Among Coleman’s largest debts is $1.3 million owed to Comerica Bank in connection with a lawsuit and a $1 million loan on property in Michigan from Thornburg Mortgage Home Loans.

Coleman also owes Detroit mayor and fellow Syracuse legend David Bing $50,000 from a loan granted last year.

Among the assets that could be available for creditors is an eclectic mix of automobiles: a 1957 Buick convertible, worth $20,000; a 1970 Chevrolet Nova, worth $5,000; and a 1997 Bentley convertible, valued at $50,000.

Coleman also listed two Seadoo watercraft, his $90,000 NBA pension and two chinchilla fur coa

SMH!!

WTF?? Rape? A Minor? LT you can not be serious???

If this does not sound like a scene from the movie "Taken". Mike Tyson, "Big" Ben Roethlisberger, now Lawrence Taylor. The man who authorities say set up football star Lawrence Taylor with a 16-year-old runaway has been charged with sex trafficking of a child.

Rasheed Davis was charged in a criminal complaint filed Friday in Manhattan federal court.

The complaint referred to the 51-year-old Taylor as “Client-1.” It said he told police officers in Ramapo, N.Y., that he engaged in sex acts with a woman in a hotel room Wednesday before paying her $300 in cash. You mean to tell me a rich Hall of Famer has to pay $300 for sex, that does not sound right. It said “Client-1” told them he took a car service from Newark, N.J., to the hotel.

Taylor was charged Thursday with third-degree rape and patronizing a prostitute. His lawyer, Arthur Aidala, has denied the charges, saying Taylor did not have sex with the girl and did not rape her.

Instead of Any Giving Sunday Look like there will be Any Giving Everyday for Taylor who is looking at massive jail time for this case!! Keep your head up bro!! A damn shame if you ask me!!

"3 Seasons and Bust" Russell Done In Oakland!!

Former top overall pick in the 2007 draft has been released from the Oakland Raiders that lead to the debate of who is the biggest bust in NFL history. Personally I believe it is Russell!!! This guy had all the opportunities to become a decent star in the league and never capitalized. Lets not get started on the money, paying for $39 for a player that never prospered will be a hard one for Al Davis to swallow, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

The bust list includes: Ryan Leaf, Akili Smith, Andre Ware, David Carr and so on. With the news of this release Russell has climb top rank to this list.

Two weeks after acquiring quarterback Jason Campbell from Washington, the Raiders released Russell. At 24, his NFL career is at a crossroads, and whether he’ll even get an offer from another club is problematic.

Russell won only seven of his 25 starts as the Raiders extended an NFL-worst streak to seven straight seasons with at least 11 losses. He completed just 52.1 percent of his passes in his career with 18 touchdowns, 23 interceptions, 15 lost fumbles and a passer rating of 65.2.

That means Russell has been paid more than $5 million per win, more than $2 million per touchdown pass and more than $100,000 per completion.

The best thing for Russell is to hope they bring the Arena League back into play because he was pure garbage on the real field. He may see a second chance with the Lions or Rams; a team that has no problem with any risk, but his days as a NFL starter is over. Thank you LSU for producing this bust in a working man's league!!!!!

"DUECE IS THAT YOU??" FIGHTING WITH A COLLEGE KID!!!

According to MediaTakeOut.com just learned that former New Orleans Saints starting running back Deuce Mcallister got into some kinda Rumble in the jungle last night.

Here is what popped off, according to one of MediaTakeOut.com spies. Duece was at a Mississippi club being hosted by a local DJ. At some point in the night, the DJ began arguing with a female clubber.

Then, Deuce runs up on dude, gives him a quick TWO PIECE & a biscuit and takes his mic from him. After that happened, all HECK broke loose. Duece's boys started fighting with the DJs . . . and a riot nearly popped off. Police had to come by and restore order.

Here's more from our snitch:

Honestly, Deuce has got to be about 50 (lol) and this was definitely a college event & for him to step in was unnecessary. He is a celebrity/socialite, he should conduct himself accordingly!

The reason the entire beef started was because [Deuce's company] owed [the local DJ] some money from a party, that they never paid him for . . . Well Deuce's car lots that he owned DID go out of business. . . . maybe he's FLAT BROKE or just Flat!!!
