What is it about me, my Vegas trips, and the truth coming out?

Last time around, it was the Rutgers situation, which is still brewing because it's obvious that someone the level of Chris Christie is going to have to step in and fire basically everybody involved in the athletic program, it seems.

Now we not only get Floyd Mayerweather creating a buzz around the Eastern Conference Finals and the Biogenesis situation exploding (which could involve 20 or more players!), AND Mr. Gee from Ohio State being forced out because he badmouthed the SEC and Notre Dame (rather than the "lesser persons" of college football like TCU, et al), but this little ditty from the SEC...

Varez Ward, formerly of Auburn, has been indicted for sports bribery - the crime of players actively attempting to shave points rather than letting the league do it for them.

On January 25, 2012, Ward is charged with attempting to throw the Auburn-Arkansas game.  He is charged with being in cahoots to ensure that Arkansas won the game, even though Arkansas was favored by 9 1/2 points.

Anyone, honestly, believe this doesn't go on far more often than anyone cares to admit?

And you can add two more to this...

Andros Townsend of Tottenham has been banned from all football activities for a month (with three more automatically to be added upon another offense) for breaking the Football Association's betting rules.  No one knows exactly HOW, but he was found afoul of betting on a game (even if not his own) in which athletes are not allowed to do.

And then there's the curious case of the soccer friendly between the USA and Germany on Sunday, celebrating 100 years of official National Team play in the United States.

The USA won against a clearly-B-level German squad four goals to three, and this was one of the four goals they scored.

You may draw your own conclusions.
