Up 'til last night, anyway. The man who brought the "Dirty Bird" to the Falcons is currently kicking it in an Atlanta-area jail after he was arrested late Saturday on a felony possession-of-cocaine charge and possession-of-marijuana charge, a misdemeanor. Anderson was apparently denied bail, which means he could be spending the weekend in lock-up. His first hearing is set for Monday morning.
ESPN, Anderson's current employer, is "pulling an A-Rod" for the time being.
"We just learned of this situation, and it is not appropriate for us to comment until we have more information," said George McNeilly, senior director of communications at ESPN, in a statement.I have no idea what to make of this, but if Anderson's legal team is looking for an airtight defense, there's always the pain and suffering that comes with prolonged exposure to Skip Bayless. There's a "there's not a jury in the country!" rant in there somewhere.

Not to make light of the situation, but I agree with you on the Skip Bayless point. He is by far the most annoying person on ESPN and that is saying alot. Everyone I speak with agrees. How does this guy stay on TV when everyone can not stand the guy. Talk about arrogant blow hards.

I love Skip Bayless. He is one of the most entertaining people on ESPN. I love how he slaughters big dummies like Jemele Hill,Stephen A Smith, and this dumb cokehead Anderson. Skip Bayless Forever! Racist black sportwriters never!

Skip is in the same category as Tim McCarver and Joe Buck....they don't know anything about sports..they just ramble on and people hate them...i guess that's why they are still on. I guess it doesn't matter how bad you are..you can keep your job if you are the best or the worst at it...you just can't be in the middle. I guess..cause these guys suck!

Skip is the man because he always takes the unpopular position and makes a good argument for it. People don't like him because he challenges conventional beleifs about sports and athletes and that makes most of espn's retarded audience very uncomfortable.

Jam has been known for doing this sort of thing throughout atlanta for the past 6 or 7 years. In fact, he is always hitting on young boys 15 years his junior. And they are always chubby, like this guy he had in the stall. The regular guys (radio hosts) have some weird stories about him at the cheetah, I cant wait to hear what they say in the morning.

Jamal was a great running back. that knee he blew out on that game with Dallas changed his life forever. We used to live right off Lawrenceville Suwanee near the Training camp and the last time i saw Jamal he was in front of us going into the Souvenier shop and he opened the door for me and my son--he was always a gentleman as far as i;m concerned. What's good for the Obama goose is good for the Jamal Gander also? we'll see.

I am a white male and it sometimes almost makes me laugh how some white guys mcan be so racist. Yeah a lot of black athletes do get arrested and busted with drugs, but that is because there are more black males in sports . DO you know how many young white lawyers and businessmen dip their noses in the white or smoke chronic? its just there are more cameras and attention on sports figures . Almost everyone with power and money end up using at one point or another. Its just if you get caught or not really....

How come some of you say these guys know nothing about sports? If you people are so smart why don't you put your name in to be an analyst. They say things that annoy me sometimes but thats the name of the game. Personally, I can't stand Chris Berman and his annoying "Whoop, Whoop, Whoop" either, but thats my opinion. He overdoes it. You can't please everybody. If you don't like them then turn them off.

SKIP DUMB-ASS HAS NOTHING ON THE 'BOMMER' TAKE THIS BIG MOUTH KNOW IT ALL AND PUT HIM IN THE SAME CELL AS JAMAL. JAMAL WILL CONFESS JUST TO GET AWAY ROM 'THE BOMMER'- IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THIS IS, JUST GOGGLE CHRIS BERMAN. THIS IS THE SINGLE MOST OBNOXIOUS MAN ON ESPN, OR FOR THAT MATTER ON T.V.
