NFL:(Video) Tampa Bay Bucs Trade Eric Wright To 49ers
The season Eric Wright expected to have with the Bucs last season never happened the way he thought it would. Wright, who in 2011 while with the Detroit Lions, was regarded as one of the best defensive backs in the NFL. In 2012 in Tampa however, things never materialized the way he and the team thought it would after he got there. He only played in 10 games, missing 4 due to suspension from the NFL for violating league policy on performance enhancing substances. They had high hopes for him, and with the potential he has shown in the past, the hopes were well deserved. But when they traded for Darrelle Revis earlier this year it seems the Bucs were ready to move on without him. They traded him to the 49ers for a 2014 draft pick, but admitted they would of released him if they didn’t find a trade. Hopefully he will return to form with a fresh start.

NBA:(Photos) Dwyane Wade’s Ex-Wife Appears To Have Breakdown On A Chicago Street
Siohvaughn Funches-Wade has been through a lengthy, stressful back and forth court battle with her ex husband Dwyane Wade. It appears it is taking a serious toll on her. According to people close to her, ever since Wade was awarded full custody of the 2 sons the former couple had together, she has been extremely depressed. That is sad because regardless of what they were going through, she is still a mother. D-Wade pays her $25,000 a month in support and recently paid her a lump sum of $1 million dollars to finalize their divorce. I obviously do not personally know her, so I have no knowledge of what her intent was when she sat down in front of a building in Chicago with her handwritten signs, but from the looks of things she is not doing too well, not financially, but mentally. Hopefully she feels better soon. We have all been through bad breakups in the past, but there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Hit the jump to see the pics.
