Germany's former national team goalkeeper Jens Lehmann was suspended by his team, Stuttgart, because the goalie was seen at Oktoberfest only hours after Stuttgart lost 2-0 to Cologne.
The club benched Lehmann because he didn’t tell the team he was going. Lehmann is 39-years old. He ...

The Los Angeles Lakers won a world championship in 2009 and promptly re-signed virtually their entire roster ... with one exception of course.
