Vince Young. (Getty Images)The sports world is rife with tales of fiscal mismanagement, but this might just set a new mark: a former financial adviser for Vince Young testfied that the former quarterback took out a seven-figure, high-interest loan during the 2011 lockout in part because Young wanted to throw a $300,000 birthday party for himself.

The revelation came amid depositions for a case in which Young is challenging a $1.7 million judgment against him by Pro Player Funding LLC. Pro Player is a boutique lender which specializes in lending to professional athletes. Young had borrowed $1.9 million at 20 percent interest in May 2011.

According to Ronnie Peoples, president and CEO of Peoples Financial Service, Young had already paid for the party and sought the loan from Pro Player, with Peoples' assistance.

However, Young's attorney, Trey Dolezal, said Peoples' recollections were inaccurate or incorrect. "I have no idea what he's talking about with the birthday

OJ Simpson during his sentencing in 2008. (Getty Images)Here's a Super Bowl party you're probably pretty glad you didn't get an invitation to: according to the New York Post, O.J. Simpson threw a Super Bowl party in his cell at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada.

Simpson's cell is only 80 square feet, but he still has his own television. (Hope it's a flat-screen.) The Post quoted Simpson's friend Norman Pardo as saying, "If you have the money, you can buy a TV at the inmate store and put it in your cell."

And as you can imagine, a guy with a television in prison is a popular fellow — "the Godfather of the prison," as Pardo said. The Super Bowl party was apparently quite the must-watch event, and hey, good for O.J.

We're not going to make jokes about which teams or players he was pulling for, because sometimes you let the easy (and potentially libelous) ones go right by. But we'll bet you can guess.

Simpson, age 65, is currently serving a 33-year sentence for a September 2007 armed robbery in Las Vegas. He will be in prison until at

Lindsey Vonn boards Tiger Woods' plane. (Via TMZ)Man, it's tough being a global celebrity. You do a friend a favor by sending them a plane, as friends do, and all of a sudden the press is all over it, making a big deal. Can't a multimillionaire get a little peace?

By now you've probably heard that Tiger Woods allegedly sent his plane to help Lindsey Vonn get home following her injury during the world championships in Austria. TMZ snapped Vonn boarding the plane, and other outlets, including the Swiss tabloid-eseque newspaper Blick (as cited by Ski Racing Magazine) also reported that the plane was Woods'. While planes are indeed trackable and identifiable by their tail numbers, Woods' plane is private and therefore does not register its travels, and as you can see above, there's no plane number visible in that photo.

Woods and Vonn have been the subject of plenty of rumors; Woods' story you know, and Vonn finalized her divorce in January. So there you go. However, Woods has made no public statement on the matter, and Vonn actually

What happens in Tallahassee apparently doesn't stay in Tallahassee. The Arizona Cardinals' Darnell Dockett and sportscaster/coach Chris Rix, former Florida State University teammates who've followed separate paths since their days in burgundy and gold, exchanged a few heated words on Twitter this week about their shared history.

It started with Rix appearing on Jay Mohr's radio show Mohr Sports. In the interview (audio here), Rix opened the door to Dockett's history, and Mohr followed up. Here, via SB Nation, is a transcription of what happened next:

Rix: I was surprised AJ [McCarron] would come back. He's a humble, quiet guy. He's got the girl. He's got the ring. I wouldn't think he would need to do that. But I give him a little credit for standing up for himself. But there were all these jokes about Darnell and what his preference was in college, if I might, because there was a few incidents of him

Kaitlyn Collins. (Via Green Bay Packers)As amazing as the Internet is — it's why we have this job, and why you're reading this article, after all — every so often we're reminded that sometimes all it does is give people the opportunity to be idiots on a worldwide scale.

Kaitlyn Collins is a former Green Bay Packers cheerleader. She's also a real live human being with thoughts and feelings and emotions, something that didn't occur to commenters on the Chicago Bears Fan Facebook page.

On Monday night, that page ran a photo of Collins with the caption “Like If You Agree The Packers Have The Worst Cheerleaders In The NFL!”

The Bears fan page is a popular place, with 86,000-plus likes. You know the Bears-Packers rivalry runs deep, and thus, the comments got vicious in a hurry. In response, Collins made the following video, calling out not just the page but several commenters by name:

That video, a silent spool of signs, is well worth watching. "Cyberbullying" may seem like a media concoction or an overreaction, but to the people

While the NFL has plenty of quarterbacks indelibly associated with a single city — Brady, Brees, Ryan, Rodgers, the lil' Manning — receivers tend to be a more wandering lot. And in all sports, the flow of players and money runs away from small-market teams. So when one sticks around for his entire career, it's meaningful to both player and city.

Donald Driver retired last month after 14 years as a Green Bay Packer, and because he didn't dance or win a Super Bowl on his way out, he didn't receive a tenth of the attention of fellow retiree Ray Lewis. But he had a similarly outsize impact on his community, as the video above shows.

[Michael Silver: Young stars found spotlight during NFL season]

Driver is leaving Green Bay — sorry, folks, but it's cold there — to return to his home state of Texas, but before he did, he stopped by the home of 78-year-old fan Angie LeRoy. She'd decorated her house to honor Driver's retirement, and who should show up at her doorstep but Driver himself?

Jevon Kearse, the former NFL All-Pro who retired three years ago, is now in foreclosure on a $5.25 million loan on his Pompano Beach, Fla. home.

Kearse played 11 seasons for the Titans and Eagles from 1999 to 2009. He bought a 6,000-square-foot home in Pompano Beach for $6.05 million in 2004, and signed a $5.25 million mortgage two years later.

However, that loan is in foreclosure. Deutsche Bank filed suit on the mortgage on Dec. 19. The IRS has also filed a tax lien against Kearse for $432,015 over his 2010 income.

Jevon Kearse's home.After leaving the University of Florida, where he acquired the nickname "The Freak," Kearse signed with the Tennessee Titans and became one of their signature players. He was the defensive Rookie of the Year in 1999, the year Tennessee reached the Super Bowl.

In 2004, the year he purchased the house, Kearse signed with the Eagles, inking a $65 million, eight-year contract which included a $16 million signing bonus. But the Eagles cut him loose three years early, waiving

Via @bdeoffYou've got to be a special kind of fan (and have a special kind of spouse) to get a football-themed cake past the gatekeepers of your wedding, but apparently a Twitter user named @bdeoff has just such a friend.

Behold the J.J. Watt wedding cake. That's a masterwork of culinary art, and bravo to the bride for allowing such an eyecatching object within three miles of her on her wedding day. Where do you even start to cut into that thing? Would you have the guts to take a cake knife to that helmet? We've seen what Watt can do to quarterbacks ... and we've seen enough reality shows to know that might just be an elaborate goof and the real Watt is hidden within.

That last idea is probably not true, alas. So far, there's been no response from Watt.

The cake is the creation of Who Made The Cake?, a Houston cake decorator with plenty of experience in this area. Last year, according to owner Nadine Moon, the company created a six-foot-tall Texans player cake. And how much did something like
