Vicente Padilla Shot Himself in the Leg, Joins Plaxico and Cheddar Bob in Highly Mockable Group
Baseball, Guns November 4th. 2009, 10:15am

Vicente Padilla, (far right, fighting Nick Swisher a few years ago), a baseball free agent-to-be, shot himself in the leg in Nicaragua Tuesday in what was called a “hunting accident.” Was it karma? The head-hunter shoots himself? Only 32, Padilla was a more-than-serviceable 4-0 with the Dodgers this season (including two impressive starts in the postseason), and figured to garner at least lukewarm interest on the market this winter.

Does anyone else think Vicente Padilla is batshit crazy?
November 4th, 2009 at 10:19 am
Smart not to do it in New York

Fuck Free World, 313.

I’d be curious to know what game he was hunting and the type of gun.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:21 am
Idiot move.

Don’t ever try to judge me dude / You don’t know what the fuck I’ve been through / But I know something about you / You went to Cranbrook – that’s a private school / What’s the matter, dog? / You’re embarrassed? / This guy’s a gangster? / His real name is Clarence / Now Clarence lives at home wit both parents / And Clarence parents have a real good marriage…

lol.
vincente padilla hunts the most dangerous game…MAN.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:24 am
i’m looking it up, but I can name three other guys from that movie without looking it up.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Gary Busey carried that movie
November 4th, 2009 at 10:27 am
Vicente Padilla was drunk. He’s drunk now. He was drunk when he beat the Cardinals in the NLDS. He’s drunk when he picks out his high priced Nicaraguan hooker. The man drinks, is what I’m saying to you, and an unfortunate side effect of that is eventually you’re gonna shoot yourself in the leg. Unless your British, because it’s hard to get a gun over there.

Loved Busey in Predator 2
November 4th, 2009 at 10:30 am
Remember the first Lethal Weapon, when Busey was a bad ass? What happened?
/Utah, gimme two

Mr. Joshua, right?

motorcycle accident, complete facial reconstruction, and then he went crazy with drugs.
would you like a shot at the title?
don’t mind if I do.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:31 am
John C. McGinley used to always be like the fourth baddie in shitty action movies. Remember when he beat the shit out of that old man in On Sacred Ground?
November 4th, 2009 at 10:32 am
*On Deadly Ground
The Seagal message got to me for a minute.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:33 am
Busey is one of the most underrated actors of all time
November 4th, 2009 at 10:33 am
Oh shit, F. Murray Abraham was in Surviving the Game, too? That Amadeus Oscar reeeeeeeeeeeally boosted his career. At least he wasn’t deaf and getting his ears boxed by William Hurt.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:34 am
He was good in that TV movie Intensity, where he got the lead. I also think he was a finalist to be Wolverine.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Irish hes the Joe Alexander of Acting.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:36 am
The world would be Jackman-less place if the Mission Impossible: II shooting schedule hadn’t ran long.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:36 am
Didn’t they cut that old man’s leg off with a pipe cutter?
/he was also awesome as Jack Rose, most thinly disguised analog ever
November 4th, 2009 at 10:36 am
@Bo- Skiles didn’t even put him in the game last night. what a shame. lol. I know the guy sucks, but the Vanilla Sky nickname is great
November 4th, 2009 at 10:38 am
busey carries every movie he is ever in
November 4th, 2009 at 10:39 am
Except Under Siege, Tommy Lee Jones owned that sucker. Erika Eleniak poppin out a ze cake didn’t hurt, either. And the part where Seagal just straight rips the guy’s throat out and he goes “Rah Lah!” as he dies.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:40 am
Don’t forget he was a Merc in The Rock
November 4th, 2009 at 10:40 am
grass is green, the sky is blue

wow. Casey Ryback disagrees

B Sanders is celebrating the pockmarked actor today. Tell us about Robert Davi next, and then Danny Aiello.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:42 am
gary busey was awesome in soldier.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:44 am
What, no Brad Pitt? Davi was the shit in Maniac Cop. Aiello is in one of the best movies of the 90’s, Leon (don’t know how to insert the accent).
“Just like fuckin’ Saigon, eh, Slick?”
“I was in junior high, dickhead.”

Gary Busey terrifies me. This is one of my favorite Gary Busey moments.

Robert Davi was also in the best HBO original movie ever.

Can Edward James Olmos get some love, Mr. Racistpants?
November 4th, 2009 at 10:50 am
Loved Edward James Olmos in the Menendez Brothers movie.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:50 am
Can Edward James Olmos get some love
If you could only reach these keeeeds.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:56 am
Surviving the game, good flick
November 4th, 2009 at 10:56 am
I remember watching a couple of episodes of “I’m with Busey”, and wondering how that man is functional in society. He’s either the greatest actor of all time, or mostly insane.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:59 am
cant he be both?
November 4th, 2009 at 11:00 am
look we all know that Gary Busey brings it whenever he steps onto a set…but im hard pressed to find a character that shows his range quite like Sgt. Drake Sabitch from Black Sheep
/hold your tongue wench
November 4th, 2009 at 11:00 am
I’d go with the latter, Staph. The guy is funking bonkers. That Family Guy video I linked to gets me every time.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Chris Farley truly left us too soon.
/Fuck David Spade
November 4th, 2009 at 11:15 am
Edward James Olmos
How many times did you guys watch Stand and Deliver in math classes? I think I saw that movie at least 350 times.
/slight exaggeration
