Kudos to NFL players for having the discipline to stay out of jail for the first 47 days of the year.
Yea, last year it took all over 3 hours until Derrant Williams died, so this is really a marked improvement.

I think he's already there. Already a fringe player, then put on IR in the beginning of the season. Then shows up 3 days before the SB to be with the team and gets arrested for extreme DUI. I don't even know what you have to do to be charged with "extreme DUI". It doesn't get any better than that. He's Awasome!
And this is exactly why the Eagles have a policy that injured players can't travel with the team.
Injured players have nothing to do but drink and drive?

Its getting funnier every day seeing this shtein ,but how the NFL continues to maintain this bright image among athletes in America, while the NBA is ranked the lowest out of all the major sports. The only reason for the NBA ranking is because its race driven, and thats sad. Maybe its the fact that NFL players faces are covered up by their helmets and we cant see them every week, as in NBA players and MLB you can. There is no way after reading column by column of arrest almost every day (the kind of arrests for that matter) that the NFL can still rank so high. Unbelievable
Anyway you look at it, the NFL is truly covered in scumbags
The NFL also has 3 times as many players as the NBA.

I think 12 on an NBA roster
That means that for roughly every NBA player who gets arrested, could get 4 from the NFL and the percentages would be about the same. Naturally the NFL is going to have a higher number of people who get into trouble......they have more population. You gotta look at the percentages instead of just #'s alone.

Former Titans WR Tyrone Calico was arrested early Wednesday on charges of DUI and violation of the "implied consent" law.
He was stopped at 2:30AM for weaving and later freed on bond. The 2003 second-round pick tried out for the Giants in '06, but is likely done in the NFL.
I remember when that guy came out in the draft. There was some guy from Tennessee on the EMB that was obsessed with him or friends with him or some shtein and thought he'd be the next T.O.
he was pretty good until Roy Williams destroyed his knees on a horsecollar

QuoteMORE TROUBLE FOR BENGALS
Posted by Mike Florio on April 3, 2008, 3:11 p.m.
In addition to the Monday altercation (allegedly) that got receiver Chris Henry cuffed by the cops and then cut by the Bengals, there's another incident that could land Henry and two guys still employed by the team in hot water.
According to WLWT-TV, Henry and running back Chris Perry and defensive tackle Domata Peko were at a club called "BANG" in Cincinnati, where they allegedly caused an early-morning ruckus last Sunday.
The club issued the following statement on Thursday: "On March 30 around 1 a.m., there were incidents involving members of the Cincinnati Bengals Football team at BANG Nightclub. Chris Henry, Chris Perry and Domata Peko were escorted out by police at the close of the club. Charges have not been filed, pending the settlement of punitive damages."
A league source tells us that the players have refused to pay anything to "BANG," and that charges will indeed be pursued.
That said, we're troubled by the appearance that the folks at "BANG" apparently tried to squeeze some money out of Henry and company by holding over their heads the possibility of filing charges. It's not much different than what those guys in Little Rock tried to pull several weeks ago with Darren McFadden. The far better approach for the victim of an alleged crime is to get the cops involved before trying to squeeze any money out of the alleged perps.
Regardless, Perry and Peko could be the next members of the team that wears tiger stripes to be sporting prison stripes in due time.
The new Bengal uni's are awesome:

The victim, Michael Gianatassio, was treated at a hospital and released. Mauia was charged with battery and released on $1,000 bond, the Broward County Sheriff's Office said.
According to witnesses, Gianatassio and his girlfriend were walking by when Mauia asked Gianatassio what he was looking at. Gianatassio replied he wasn't looking at anyone, then was punched by the 270-pound Mauia, the sheriff's office said.
Mauia fled, but a witness took a photo of his vehicle, which allowed the sheriff's office to track him down. A witness identified him as the person who punched Gianatassio, the sheriff's office said. After being booked at the county jail, Mauia was released.

Bengals linebacker Ahmad Brooks has been accused of punching a Florence woman in the left eye.
Brooks, who lives in Union, has been summoned to appear June 6 in Boone District Court to answer to the charge of misdemeanor assault, punishable by up to a year in the jail.
Destiny Rosich gave a sworn statement Wednesday that Brooks was arguing outside her neighbor's home on April 9 in the 7600 block of Banklick Street. She said her children were outside playing and began to cry because Brooks and the neighbor were about to start a fistfight.
Brooks told the neighbor that he was going to "split his head open," Rosich wrote in her statement.
That when she "nicely approached" Brooks and asked him to stop and "take it somewhere else," according to the statement.
"He then pulled back his fist and struck (punched) me in the left eye," Rosich wrote. "I then fell and blacked out."
When Rosich gained consciousness, she grabbed her children, ran inside her home, called 911 and was taken to an area emergency room.
Rosich's attorney, Gary Franke of Cincinnati, said he had no comment at this time.
Florence police spokesman John McDermond confirmed that officers responded to the scene after the fight. He said the incident is considered a fourth-degree assault and that officers have to witness it to make an arrest.

Despite making about $2.5 million since 2005 as a member of the Bengals, Chris Henry is so broke he wants taxpayers to pay for a record of his trial. "He's broke," said Perry Ancona, the former wide receiver's attorney said Tuesday, July 8. "He doesn't have any money to pay for a transcript." Henry signed a five-year, $6 million contract after being drafted in 2005. He received about $1 million to sign plus an average of just over $500,000 for the first three years. He was to be paid $520,000 this year, but the team released him after his arrest.
what a joke of an excuse for a human being. Gotta blame the team also for not explaining how to squirrell away money, the Eagles have Harold Carmichael to break down to rookies and players the way to live off what you've made thru investments and such.
Athletes are smart.
so are hedge fund managers and ceo's...lobbyists and presidents
If your assertion is that everyone is an idiot, then I agree.

While its nice that the Eagles have someone to teach the rookies about money management, I don't see how this is a teams responability. I don't think anyone here ever had their first employer sit down and say "Now that you are making money, don't go spending it all on hookers and blow. You really should get yourself a Roth IRA"

If you ask me, the only reason anyone does anything is because it benefits them. How people define something as benfitting them or not varies wildly.
Example: I think paying taxes, in theory anyway, benefits the country and by extension me. Others believe that paying taxes leads to massive mismanagement of monies and ultimately results in nothing good. Both are valid points of view.
But trying to chastise someone by saying that they only 'do the right thing' if it benefits them is retarded since that's the motivation behind every decision that everyone makes.

i dont know why...maybe ask sun...he may be able to tell you why i just donated a couple hundred bucks in his wifes name to breast cancer research
That's great. Are you saying that you don't get any benefit out of breast cancer research? You're not a martyr, dude. Advancing medical research benefts everyone. It benefits the greater good, which you are a part of. We're basically saying the same thing only you're being naive about it. I'm saying doing the right thing nearly always benefits you in some way. You're saying that doing the right thing has no impact on your life, positive or negative, which is ridiculous.
The NFL would benefit greatly from treating its players better or giving them more real-world training and opportunities to branch out beyond football. Their reputation would improve, their players would live longer, better lives and the unbelieveable level of cynicism surrounding professional football by the fans could be quelled by simply encouraging its players to be constructive members of society. it isn't charity, and we shouldn't look at it as such. It directly benefits the league to treat its players better. Jesus.

im not going to calculate the 12 degrees of seperation of how breast cancer research might one day directly help me because the chances it will are almost nill and that kind of thinking often doesnt come into my thought process when giving my time or money to causes
but thats neither here nor there the fact is you didnt say people doing good things always benefits them...you said people only do good things if they believe it will benefit them...thats a huge difference and it is also a fantasic mixture of cynicism ignorance and naivete
and you missed the whole point anyway...the money for breast cancer is not the issue...i give a good amount of money to numerous different charities and i could have donated directly to one of hundreds of breast cancer research organizations in this situation...but i donated to this particular person because it will help her reach a personal goal and she is married to a friend...how exactly does that benefit anyone but her
because Sun got anal with the wifey because his friend helped him out
It benefits you because it strengthens your relationship with your friend.
Whatever. Please continue to believe that you do good things out of the goodness of your heart and for no other reason and that you don't benefit from them in any way. It makes you feel better about yourself (again, benefitting you) and so it's probably better that way.

(AP) - Fayetteville police say Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Matt Jones was arrested early Thursday on a felony drug charge after officers found him in a parked car, cutting up what was suspected to be cocaine.
A police report says officers approached the car and found Jones inside, using a credit card to chop up a white substance. Police say an officer drew his handgun after Jones did not immediately show his hands.
Police say they found a jar with possible marijuana residue inside the car and a plastic bag of what was likely cocaine. Officers say Jones admitted he had cocaine.

QuoteREPORT: TONY ZENDEJAS JAILED FOR RAPE
Posted by Michael David Smith on July 10, 2008, 1:42 p.m.
TMZ.com is reporting that former NFL kicker Tony Zendejas is in jail on rape charges.
According to the report, prosecutors say that in January, Zendejas gave a woman a drink at the bar he owns, and that the drink made her groggy. Prosecutors say the victim woke up at a motel down the street and called the police, saying she had been raped.
Zendejas was arrested this morning and is still in jail. His bail has been set at $260,000. If convicted of felony rape, Zendejas faces up to 15 years in prison.
Zendejas started his pro kicking career with the Los Angeles Express of the USFL, and he then played for the Houston Oilers, Los Angeles Rams, Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers.

Grand jury to hear football player's case
By Ronica Shannon
Register News Writer
The bond for a suspended Eastern Kentucky University football player was lowered Wednesday from $200,000 to $20,000 cash or property, and his criminal case was handed up to a Madison County grand jury.
Davin Walker, 22, was arrested July 3 on robbery and fleeing and evading charges after an incident at the Richmond Wal-Mart.
"A physical altercation ensued, and a shopping cart overturned, tearing the tip off of a 69-year-old female customer's thumb," said Sgt. Willard Reardon, public information officer for the Richmond Police Department.
However, the woman's thumb tip was not completely severed, said arresting officer Cpl. Jake Adkins of the Richmond Police Department, who testified Wednesday in Walker's preliminary hearing in Madison District Court.
She has since received stitches and is recovering, he said.
"The lady told me that she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time," Adkins said. "She was walking into the store with a buggy (when the altercation occurred)."
Adkins testified that Walker was found on store surveillance tapes to be putting items into a backpack. He was confronted by two Wal-Mart employees, one a manager and the other a representative of loss prevention.
It appeared on the video that Walker lunged straight toward one of the men knocking him down, and then fleeing the scene, Adkins said.
Walker lost his shoes and backpack during his run, he said.
The backpack contained a cell phone battery charger, a box of douches and a bottle of feminine hygiene spray, Adkins said.
Walker was arrested by Richmond Police near Roy Kidd Stadium shortly before 2 p.m.
"What otherwise would have been a theft charge was elevated to first-degree robbery by the physical altercation," Reardon said.
Michael Eubanks, Walker's defense attorney, disagreed in court Wednesday.
"In this case, we have a theft," he said. "At the time of (the physical confrontation with the woman), the shoplifting already had occurred. What we have is shoplifting and an assault."
Eubanks said Walker did not have a weapon, therefore it should not be considered first-degree robbery.
"There's no evidence that Mr. Walker was trying to cause her any harm," Eubanks said. "He didn't say: 'I'm going to hurt you if you don't give me the battery charger.'"
County Attorney Marc Robbins stressed that someone who was not involved in the incident was hurt, and that justifies the first-degree robbery charge.
In the 2008 Criminal Law of Kentucky handbook, first-degree robbery is defined as: "... in the course of committing theft, he uses or threatens the immediate use of physical force upon another person with intent to accomplish the theft and when he: (a) causes physical injury to any person who is not a participant in the crime; or (b) is armed with a deadly weapon; or (c) uses or threatens the immediate use of a dangerous instrument upon any person who is not a participant in the crime."
Walker was a senior wide receiver from Miami, Fla. University spokesman Marc Whitt said Walker had been enrolled as a student for the spring 2008 semester.
Walker was suspended indefinitely Monday, July 7, by the EKU Department of Athletics.
He played in 11 games last season as a running back, receiver and kick returner. The 5-foot-10, 162-pound player was a Second-Team All-OVC selection in 2006 as a returner, and ranked 11th in the nation for kick return average.

QuoteBUCCANEERS' MATT MCCOY ARRESTED FOR DUI
Posted by Michael David Smith on October 18, 2008, 1:25 p.m.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Matt McCoy was arrested this morning on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence, the Tampa Tribune is reporting.
Per the report, McCoy was arrested at 4:11 a.m. less than 500 feet from his home. Police say McCoy swayed while standing, had glazed eyes and smelled of alcohol.
McCoy reportedly refused to take field sobriety tests and refused a breath test.
McCoy signed with the Buccaneers in March and has played three games this season. He has previously played for the Saints and Eagles.
We will reset our days without an arrest meter to zero, after it reached a whopping total of four.
500 feet from his house? Ha! Just like McCoy... always coming up just short.
He'll be doing 5-10 if he plays his DUI defense like he did the Eagles.
QuoteBUCS CUT MATT MCCOY
Posted by Michael David Smith on October 18, 2008, 4:20 p.m.
It was a costly DUI arrest for Matt McCoy.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced today that they have released McCoy, the linebacker who was arrested this morning on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence.
McCoy is the latest NFL player to learn a hard lesson: If you're a good player, you can get away with a certain level of off-field trouble. But if you're just a marginal player, as McCoy was, you'd better keep your nose clean.
The Bucs also announced that they have promoted wide receiver Brian Clark from the practice squad to the active roster.
I met McCoy and Gocong at the draft day party at the linc 2 years ago...McCoy was such a cocky unlikeable icehole. Needless to say I'm very happy at this recent turn of events.
Gocong was actually pretty cool
My McCoy story is when I'd have the sideline passes up at Lehigh I would watch as the maniac stalked the sidelines talking to himself.

QuotePolice stopped McCoy driving a 2008 BMW after seeing the vehicle heading west in the eastbound lanes of Gandy Boulevard, according to an arrest affidavit.

Driving down the wrong side of the street 500 feet from your house? THATS a bender.
PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Santonio Holmes will be charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession after a traffic stop in which police smelled burning marijuana and found marijuana-filled cigars in his car.
