Buccaneers running back Lionel Gates (who?) was arrested and put in jail for punching a pregnant woman in the face (what?!) and pushing her into a wall.
Gates kicked in the front door of Peggie Lavender's apartment Thursday night, destroyed two televisions and two doors, put a hole in the bedroom wall and assaulted her, a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office report said. He was arrested later at his apartment in the same complex.
Gates was charged with burglary of a dwelling, aggravated battery of a pregnant woman and criminal mischief.
Holy crap this guy is the Incredible Hulk. This is terrific news for the Bucs. I mean, if he doesn't go to jail during the season. They've got themselves a real hard-nose player with a mean streak.
Meanwhile, Tom Brady saw this story and said "Hmmm… punching a pregnant woman, eh? Note to self…"
NOTE: It's pretty hard to find pictures of pregnant women getting punched. 289 photoshop is forthcoming. 289's got other stuff going on. Bummer.

Now THIS is sexy news. It got my pants tight.
Peggie Lavender. Really? I suppose Peggie Purple was taken. Are we to assume she’s preggers by somebody else? Is that what made Whatshisname so mad?
289 does not believe in punching pregnant woman*. Donkey punching lucky woman maybe.
*Has been “asked” by his mother to clean up the yard in exchange for free rent and emptying the fridge and liquor cabinet so no time for PS.
Oh and, Yes and Beer.
*instead will find the perfect picture online and pass it along because he is the man.
Awesome picture.
Some 7th round backup’s backup’s backup now is committing burglary and assault? What a sad state of affairs. This kind of thing used to never be tolerated. He would have been given his pink slip and his ass kicking, and would have been out the door. Now he’ll go to “counseling” and be under suspension (in July), and be back to playing football, conveniently, by August. Its too bad that sports star no longer means “role model”. (Sorry, I’m just waking up from a 28 year old nap.)
Classy behavior all around w/ this story.
This site has walked the line a lot- if you had posted a picture of a pregnant women getting punched, that would have been the final straw: I would have had to make withleater.com my homepage.
Zac, thanks for leading the reader one way and then….BOOM! Going the other way. Also, I’d nut all over the pregnant chick’s tummy (the one in the picture, not Peggie Lavender).
@hardawayhatesyou: Cause she can’t get MORE pregnant, right?
This is just the next evolution to Pac Man’s ‘Make It Rain’ that’s sweeping the NFL. Lionel calls his version ‘Make It Hurricane’.
@Cinnamon Girl: Do you think fear of pregnancy is the only reason guys blow love juice on their mates?
