Jason Kidd had an epically bad morning this week, said the New York Daily News. The recently signed New York Knicks point guard, 39, had reportedly been “pounding vodka” at a swanky club in East Hampton, N.Y. Kidd left the club reeking of alcohol, according to police, and crashed his SUV into a telephone pole at 60 mph. Authorities arrested him on drunk driving charges. After he was booked and released, Kidd was later rushed to the hospital because, sources say, he had a bad reaction to a sleeping pill he took to wind down.
