The D-List: 2010 September Week 1

Florida State University - for suing a nearby Manatee County high school in Florida for using the Seminole name and imagery, such as the spear-emblazoned helmet and Indian profile emblem. You might be on the side of FSU if you’re all about trademarking, but this is particularly d-casey as Southeast High School has used the name for 51 years and has been a hotbed for FSU players over the years. Additionally, former FSU wide receiver Peter Warrick is now an assistant football coach at Southeast High and is set to be inducted into the FSU athletic hall of fame.

Julious Javone Threatts - Already on probation for burglary charges, 21 year old Julious had been posing as a 14 year old boy so he could play peewee football. Julious Threatts had been operating under the name Chad Jordan, “but there just was a lot of stuff that wasn't adding up, you know?" said Ray McCloud coach of the peewee team. Coach McCloud thought it was odd that he always kept his helmet on, as if he were hiding. He found it odd that he was being raised by his older brother, whom McCloud never saw. Most of all McCloud that it was odd that Threatts had a big tattoo across his left forearm that read “JULIOUS”. After McCloud did some digging he found Threatts’ Facebook page which listed his mother (who is alive and not dead as Threatts expressed) and stated that Threatts was a graduate of Leto High School. Threatts even went as far as trying to attend the middle school area to keep up his façade…this quickly fell through and he was arrested. He now faces charges of trespassing on school grounds, obstruction by a disguised person and violation of probation.

Marcus Jordan, Michael Jordan's son - Michael Jordan was recently in Las Vegas hosting a fantasy camp. His two sons were in Sin City with him, most notably his oldest son who recently tweeted that he dropped 35 grand at the night club the night before plus an additional 15 grand the previous day. This is a problem because he is 19 years old and everyone knows it. Now the Nevada gaming commission is investigating the issue. I can’t say that I wouldn’t do the same thing if I was Michael Jordan’s son, but this still makes him a d-case (not that he cares).

James J. Lee - For holding the Discovery building hostage for not doing enough to save the environment. He was also upset that the channel seemed to encourage human birth rather than population control. He demanded that "All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs' places, programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it." On a slightly ironic note, thanks to Lee there is now one less parasitic human on the Earth.

Dr. Dan Duffy - Dan is a chiropractor in Iowa. Well, he was a chiropractor in Iowa. During one session with a young lady he left the room in the middle of the session. When he returned he stood where the young woman could not see him, and she reportedly told police she heard him doing something in particular. Later, DNA swabs from her lower back matched that of Dr. Duffy. While chiropractors take a lot of heat for what some consider a “quack” profession, I have seen no scientific evidence that “DNA” is an acceptable treatment for lower back pain.
