    Former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell's legal predicament may have taken a positive turn today. A childhood friend of Russell's named Marcus Stevenson was handcuffed and likely to be charged with possession of a controlled substance after telling the judge that it was his codeine that was discovered during a police raid at Russell's house last month in Mobile, Ala., according to the Mobile Press-Register. "He was willing to step forward and tell the truth," Stevenson's lawyer, Greg Evans. Russell is stil facing a charge of possession of a controlled substance at this point. The judge has sent the case against Russell to a grand jury.

    I think only athletes and entertainers get special treatment. He's not an athlete anymore, so now they both go to jail.

    I'm surprised it took him this long to find someone to take the fall.
