Vincent Jackson, famously pulled over the night before the Jets game (which the Chargers lost), has now been charged with 2 misdemeanors related to a suspended license.
We award points for people getting charged with stuff… and for “moving violations” and related items… the award is a whopping 35 points. Woo-hooo!
Non-deadly traffic violations are always fun when the culprits are NFL stars. Glad no one was hurt in this story. 35 Points to Jackson and Chargers owners.

Antrel Rolle seriously messed up his math on his own income, and somehow shorted the IRS $2.2 Million.
The IRS is the type of place where $2.2 Million deficits are noticed, and so they’ve come calling for their money. Can’t say that I blame them.
Rolle, however, is suing the IRS–not because of the money… he readily admits he owes that money–but apparently the IRS was mean to him about the whole thing. Seriously… part of the lawsuit is alleging they didn’t treat him in a courteous manner. Man, if that’s something you can sue over… I have a few...

The Vikings prematurely published a page on their website declaring they had won the game, prior to them actually playing the game. Oops.
As any sports fan worth his salt can tell you, that is a guarantee that you will lose. It’s up there with the Madden Curse in fame and certainty.
It wasn’t a PQE already, but I think that’s worthy of some points. It’s definitely stupid, and we feast on stupid events in the NFL.
So… 45 Points to Vikings owners.

However, with the Pro-Bowl coming up this week, expect some PQE’s to appear as the players all gather in Miami for some fun.

The young kicker for the New Orleans Saints, Garrett Hartley, kicked a huge game-winning field goal in overtime yesterday to help the Saints send the Vikings packing (great game!).
After the game, Hartley claimed he’d had a vision the night before of himself kicking the game winner… from the right hash at the 42-yard line. So vivid was his vision of the kick, that he couldn’t go back to sleep.
Unable to sleep, Hartley did what any of us would… he called his dad, at 2 in the morning, to tell him about it.
Then, he went out and kicked a game-winner from the right hash at the...

Darelle Revis, the Jets cornerback who is getting all kinds of love this season for, well, being awesome at his job, has called out Randy Moss as a slouch.
He actually said it last week, and I missed the story. But he was apparently asked about it again this week and stood by his remarks.
Randy Moss is definitely a slouch, so I’m not sure why there’s such a hub-bub about it–except that someone actually said it out loud.
Either way, our players here at Fantasy UnSports earn 30 points when one of their chosen NFLers calls out another team’s player or coach… so… 30...
