Josh, you rapscallious bugger!

Josh Howard! You wild thing!

You smoke weed! You drive too fast! You claim not to respect the national anthem when the viewing audience of millions aren't around to see your protest!

What kind of a crazy bastard are you?!?!?!? Is there no end to your rebellious ways? Will you shave a word into your head? Will you wear a hat at a provocative angle? Will you wear your shorts below your knee line? Will you flip off David Stern next time he turns his back to you? (Something which he may well do.) Will you go around calling Donyell Marshall, Donyell Darshall? Will you have sex with a woman of loose morals and labia and then never speak to her again? Will you? I bet you will. You're such a maverick. You don't play by the rules!!

Phewph! Where will it end??? You're just so, out there!!!

(Ha! Maverick! Get it?)



NB: The preceding message was liberally daubed in sarcasm.

Guess what Josh Howard got arrested for?

Go on, guess. You'll never guess.

Seriously, guess.

...Actually, no, it wasn't misdemeanour drug possession. It was street racing.

How unexpected!

Mavericks guard Josh Howard was arrested in Winston-Salem, N.C. Thursday night for street racing, according to police.

Howard is facing charges of speeding, reckless driving, and speed competition, according to myFOXdfw's sister station myFOXwghp.com.

The website says an officer spotted Howard driving a black Lexus with a passenger on the city's west side.

Howard was taken to the Forsyth County magistrate's office and released on a written promise to appear in court on Sept. 23.

Howard graduated from Wake Forest and has been pro for five years.

Didn't expect that.

Isn't 28 a bit old to be street racing, anyway?
