Sports WTF-Teddy Dupay alleged rapist?

DONT FORGET TO UPDATE YOUR LINKS!!!  MY NEW HOME IS TOM BRADY IS MY BABY DADDY


One of my friends who still lives in Florida sent me a text message letting me know that a kid who we formally used to hang out with at The Swamp and have sessions with back in our college days and who also helped (greatly) the Gators reach the finals 2000, Teddy Dupay was charged with rape in Utah (If anyone has a link to a mugshot, please send it over).  Teddy continued his descent into exile on June 19, when he was arrested for allegedly raping his girlfriend of 2 years.  According to police reports, he raped his girlfriend on the floor of their hotel room and kicked her over 150 times and threatened her and her family if she ever said anything.  Teddy denied the allegations with the most moronic of all statements saying "It's not rape if you love someone".  Oh Jesus, take the wheel.  All was well for Teddy when as a sophomore was the first of Billy Donovan's recruits to join the Gators.  Once Teddy signed on so did power center Udonis Haslem, Brett Nelson, Matt Bonner and Mike Miller.  Teddy never made it a secret that although Donovan was a great coach/recruiter that things would never have turned out the way they did if he didn't end up going there.  Always the cocky little S.O.B, underrated and undersized he managed to be a great shooter and a prime player for the Gators to reach the finals in 2000.  The decline started after the University of Florida police announced that they were conduction an investigation into a possible connection between a student and a local bookmaker and that student we later found out was Teddy.  So of course after it was found out, the skeptics came out and began examining Florida’s performance against the betting line the last couple of games and games from the previous season.  The NCAA later charged with was supplying information to a friend who wagered on sports.  According to the criminal complaint, a former student who moved into the apartment Dupay shared with Haslem, admitted to placing 10 to 15 bets on pro and college basketball games, including some of Florida’s. The complaint named Dupay as an uncharged co-defendant, alleging he provided the former student with inside information on whether Florida could cover the spread, and then shared in some of the proceeds.  Through the findings that came about, Florida was forced to enforce the rules and Dupay was dismissed from the Gators before his senior season.  He maintains the NCAA told him the bets in question did not involve Florida basketball.  Fast forward to years after playing overseas ball and on the Nike tour.  Dupay stamped his exile ticket moving to Utah and started to working as a telemarketer (yea no joke).  Now this?!?  WTF!  I remember Teddy fondly (I know this isn’t a eulogy) as just another cocky athlete, trying hard to slay as many girls as he could and being very crass at it.  No, he didn’t get any goodies from me but I dated one of his friends so I got to hear all the stories.  It was sad to see his fall from grace, I remember when he was still playing he had said that he had hoped that Coach Donovan would one day give him a coaching position with the team and that he dreamed of playing in Madison Square Garden, now he’s facing at least 6 years in jail, word is his girlfriend “might” drop charges but who can tell at this point.  A hop, skip and a bad afterschool special later Teddy is looking at not much of a career left and a tarnished for life reputation.  WTF….


My mini Sports WTF moment would go to future baby daddy’s David Wright or Oliver Perez not being members of the All-Star team (only one Met made it).  WTF.  Granted David is still in the running for the fan selected spot but he won’t be taking the field.  I’m upset, yet at the same time I’m wondering if his seats will be by mine for the All Star game seeing we’re getting them from the same place…..still its good news disguised as bad news.

**Many of you have emailed me if Jr. is the "kid" I reference and no it's not.  Jr. is a friend, a total brother type who looks just like Ashton Kutcher and has endless stories of girls etc. and always provides me with endless banter.   And a few have asked more about him and his "slaying" ways and he has just emailed me quite a story from his holiday weekend, which after a few changes, I will post later (or tomorrow), pretty appropriate for Freaky Friday.**

I just wanted to post Lupe's song that I'm LOVING right now "Paris Tokyo".  Where is the guy that's going to be with me when I go to sleep in Paris and wake up in Tokyo.....please submit your applications before my birthday or before the All-Star game
