"Parts of the man's body were transferred to the hospital with him."
That's not a sentence you see very often.

"We were in the center ring the whole night,'' longtime Davidson coach Bob McKillop said. ''We were not on the ropes. We were not on the mat. We were in the center ring slugging away, and we just ran out of time.''
I have a friend at work that bashes football all the time. He likes the NBA (not college basketball really, but somewhat) and soccer, but hates football. He's been saying it's all about football players and NBA players never get arrested for murder or things that bad.
I've been trying to think of basketball players charged with murder, attempted murder, or something along the lines of what Sandusky did. I'm terrible at this sort of thing though. I really can only remember three sports criminals off the top of my head- OJ Simpson, Rae Carruth, and now Aaron Hernandez. Anyone got NBA players for similar? I'm sure they're out there. How about soccer players?
I like football (not so much the NFL as college, but still). So he thinks he's winning the argument. I'm sure some smart people on here can help me out. Or maybe not. Maybe he's right. I just bet there's more that I'm not thinking of....

Baylor guy's name was Dotson. He murdered Dennehy. First name was Patrick, I think.
In the NBA, Bison Dele was murdered. Jayson Williams, not the guy who appeared to get high at halftime during the Marshall at Davidson game, but the big guy was charged with something. I don't remember the details but I think his driver was killed with Williams' shotgun. And didn't Javaris Crittenton get charged with murder?

"Here’s what is the elephant in the room. Travis had a bag before. Now everyone has a bag. The Travis Ford recruiting prowess was greatly exaggerated."---SLU fan explaining how NIL took away Ford's recruiting edge
Jayson Williams was a former St. John's player who had a long NBA career and was moving into broadcasting when a limo driver was shot and killed at a party at his home. Williams sucked several attendees into a complicated scheme to make it appear the driver shot himself. Jayson Williams eventually accepted responsibility.
A former James Madison player, Jason Miskiri, was a guest at the party. Miskiri played one game in the NBA, I think.
Jay Williams, the Duke grad/commentator, was Jason Williams, but became "Jay" to differentiate himself from all the other Jason/Jayson Williamses.
The Dennehey/Dotson killing exposed the rot in the Baylor basketball program and ruined Dave Bliss's reputation.

The Jayson Williams homicide case moved up and down from the trial courts to the NJ Supremes several times over a number of years, so it got considerable state-wide press coverage. Mr. Williams hired a limo, with driver, to party with his large group of friends in NYC before they all returned to his mansion in north jersey for more partying. Mr. Williams graciously invited the limo driver to join the festivities inside the home.
At one point, Mr. Williams asked this driver to come with him into the master bedroom - to examine a particularly fine rifle. When Mr. Williams shouldered the weapon and pointed it at this fellow, it discharged a bullet that killed the gentleman. At which time, the elaborate cover-up commenced. Seems sad that I do not even remember the name of the deceased.
