Poll: Which Athlete's Mugshot Do You Like Best?
Mugshots are the new flair for athletes and there isn’t a person more ambitious to be photographed like a lunatic than Roger Clemens. In light of Clemens’ impending doom, i.e. future mugshot he’s most certainly to take once Congress cans his ass for perjury and using the word “misremember” during those infamous hearings, we thought compiling a list of the five most interesting mugshots—one from each major sport, and yes, wrestling is totally a major sport—would be a fitting tribute to the Rocket. You think a Debbie Clemens/Roger Clemens mugshot is possible? Get that senorita in front of Congress and let’s find out!
The mugshot poll after the jump.

What the hell is Sanders smiling at? And Andre has some mean chops. I wish I could grow out something like that.

I love the Andre the Giant pic; what is it that he did? Pummelled a photographer? The Deion Sanders felony is the best one, that’s why he is smiling.

Jim Leyritz, obvious choice ! he looks like the typical anglo that lives around the corner who loves chopping people up, but his real crime is being a typical athlete who drinks too much and gets in a car.

LOL. Fucking Neon. Leave it to him to smile for a mugshot. He probably did the endzone dance right after the flash went off, too.
