More Sports BITES have come in today! We just heard the Atlanta Braves Want Tim Tebow, Scott Hall 86’d for Calling bartender a bitch + Lawrence Taylor Clueless during DUI Arrest!!!
Flip and get another round of Sports BITES about Tim Tebow, Scott Hall + Lawrence Taylor…
CelebNSports247.com has learned that Tim Tebow showed off his impressive baseball skills for dozens of professional scouts and now the Atlanta Braves general manager John Coppolella confirmed that his team is interested.
It looks like former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow can possibly make a smooth transition from the NFL to the MLB if the Braves offers him a contract.
On Tuesday, Atlanta Braves general manager John Coppolella confirmed that his team is interested in signing the 29-year-old former NFL quarterback. And he insists it’s not a publicity stunt.
Coppolella told ESPN on Sunday:
“We are interested in Tim because of his potential as a baseball player, not as a gate attraction.”
“We have spoken with his representatives multiple times and all parties involved want this to be a pure baseball thing on every level.”
If the Braves were to end up signing Tebow, they’d give a signing bonus of less than $100,000 and assign him to the instructional league, which starts September 17. Depending on how he does there, he could then take part in the Arizona Fall League or the winter league, and possibly join one of the Braves’ minor league affiliates in the spring. However, he won’t get an invite to spring training.
Coppolella told MLB.com:
“There’s no risk. If it doesn’t work, we’ll be honest with Tim early, and we can move on. If it does work, it’s great for the Braves and it’s great for baseball.”
Next up, is hall of famer Lawrence Taylor, who was clueless when he allegedly crashed into a police car while drunk. Can you believe he wasn’t sure what county he was in at the time of the accident.
Maybe it was the impact? That does happen sometimes.
TM reports:
In the arrest report, Palm Beach County cops say they responded to a crash around 5:22 PM on Friday … where another officer said he had been hit by a silver sedan driven by LT.
The former Linebacker, Taylor was waiting on the scene … and cops say he had all the signs of a drunk person. He also stunk of cigars and booze, had bloodshot eyes and was unsteady of his feet.
When police asked him where he was, he responded “Broward”, which is a different county about an hour south of the crash scene. Cops also said they asked him how much he had to drink and he said “apparently too much.”
He was placed under arrest after failing field sobriety tests.
According to the report, Taylor told police he had just suffered an injury and felt like he was going to throw up, so cops called an ambulance and briefly took him to the hospital before booking him into the jail.
Cops say they took two breath samples five hours after the crash, which registered at .082 and .084.
He’s due in court at the end of the month.
Lastly, WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall, better known by his ring name Razor Ramon got himself 86’d of an airport bar over the weekend for being drunk and disorderly.
According to reports, Razor Ramon was slamming Coors Lights and shots of tequila at a T.G.I. Friday’s in the Atlanta airport on Saturday.
Apparently he had one too many when he started hitting on the bartender, but when she denied his advances he called her a bitch.
At that point the bartender’s dad, who apparently was also working at the bar, stepped in, and the manager called the cops. Watch the video provided by TMZ cameras. In the footage you can see when Ramon calls the bartender a bitch and the moment when cops arrive. [Edit much]? The police, the officers were able to calm the situation, and Hall left without further incident.
Watch:
Hall has a well-documented history of drug and alcohol abuse. He also has a history of high-profile arrests related to his substance abuse. They include one for assault in 2008, one for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in 2010, and one for domestic violence in 2012.
More recently Hall has claimed to have been sober since Diamond Dallas Page took him under his wing in 2013.
Sadly, Scott ‘Razor Ramon’ Hall has definitely fallen off the wagon.
