TMZ has learned that veteran sportscaster Jim Lampley was arrested this evening outside of San Diego, CA on felony charges of domestic abuse.

Police tell TMZ that Lampley, probably best known for his work on HBO boxing, posted his $35,000 bail and is awaiting his release from the Vista Jail in San Diego. He faces one felony count of domestic abuse / corporal injury, as well as two misdemeanor counts of violating a restraining order and preventing a witness from testifying.

Sources say that because of previous complaints, Lampley was arrested by an investigative team at his girlfriend's home in Encinitas, CA.

Lampley was once married to anchorwoman Bree Walker.

Scumbag....though he is kinda hot.

Weird that abusers reported by the media tend to be somehow related to the sports industry. Tawny Kittan, that Phillies pitcher last summer, this dude, so on.

It's not that exposed in other fields so much as sports. Is it the aggression?

Abuse cuts across all social and economic boundaries, including occupation.

But yes, I think the competitiveness and aggression of sports has something to do with the mentality that using your fists to settle problems is OK.
