In an interview for an upcoming issue of The Sporting News, NBA enigma Ron Artest admitted to drinking during games while with the Chicago Bulls. In the interview, Artest said, "I used to drink Hennessy … at halftime...I (kept it) in my locker. I'd just walk to the liquor store (near the stadium) and get it." Artest also addressed his time with the Bulls, saying:

"It was all my fault. The first team, in Chicago, I was a head case. I worked really hard but still had this ghetto thing in me that I could not get out. … I could've stayed at Indiana my whole career, but I said I wanted to be traded. I was getting more stable, but I was still unstable and I was a bad teammate. They had to get rid of me."

Well, that's good of him to accept responsibility but "was a head case?" [h/t NQTC]
