Raunchy Chauncey!

In the wake of a miserable Game 4 comes this...

It consistently amazes us how people once charges with major crimes can beat bad raps. We've seen it before our very eyes with guys like R. Kelly, Kobe and Marv Albert. But one person we didn't realize this tag applied to was the Pistons' own Chauncey Billups.

Here is an excerpt from an article in the Boston Herald in 2000, right after Chauncey Billups was a member of the Celtics.

Here is a link to the article but beware, it isn't free...

If you would like even more information, here is a copy of the lawsuit.

Note (and a correction from earlier): the Michael Irvin they mention is NOT the Dallas Cowboys' WR, although this guy sure sounds like The Playmaker to us....

Celtics captain Antoine Walker claims he lost lucrative endorsements after a woman wrongfully accused him of letting his friend and teammates rape her at his Waltham condo. In recently unsealed court documents, Walker also sues his former teammates, Chauncey Billups and Ron Mercer, arguing if he is found liable for the alleged Nov. 9, 1997 assault, they should be forced to reimburse him.

The papers, made public by Judge Richard Stearns at the Herald's request, also reveal lurid new details of the unnamed woman's charges against the players and Walker's roommate, Michael Irvin.Walker knew the men were "pulling a train" on the woman - that is, lining up for sex with her, the woman alleged in her civil suit. He, the complaint alleges, appeared in Irvin's room dressed only in gym shorts, and saw the group - the woman with three men "laughing and joking around about having sex" with her.Irvin asked Walker, "Don't you want some?" the woman alleges. Walker replied, "I just got through with someone in the next room," she charges.

Stay away from anyone named Michael Irvin...
