This has not been a good offseason for NFL players. Pretty much everyone in the league has gotten arrested it seems. And that includes Detroit Lions cornerback Aaron Berry, who was expected to contend for a starting job this year. Berry struck a plea deal on Friday on a DUI arrest from in late June. [...]
Tennessee Titans WR Kenny Britt has had his share of off-the-field issues in his young career. But apparently, none have scared him enough to stop doing stupid stuff. He’s at it again. According to a radio report from Nashville’s 104.5 FM The Zone, Britt was arrested for DUI last night while trying to drive a [...]
Marshawn Lynch of the Seattle Seahawks is a hell of an NFL running back. So, there has to be a reason why the Buffalo Bills didn’t want him anymore. And there are several, actually, and it’s stuff like this. Lynch was arrested on suspicion of DUI on Saturday in California. He was taken to jail [...]
You can’t make this stuff up. We mentioned yesterday that Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant was arrested on charges of misdemeanor domestic abuse. We didn’t have many details at that point. Now, we do. So what did he do? Hit his girlfriend? His wife? No…his mother. I mean…you have to be kidding me. And the [...]
And this is exactly why he slipped in the draft. Teams who were concerned about the off-field issues of Dez Bryant are looking much smarter about now. According to Mike Doocy, the Dallas Cowboys receiver was arrested and charged with misdemeanor domestic violence. “BREAKING-FOX 4 News reporting that Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant arrested in Desoto. [...]
Okay, so we don’t know all the details yet, but this can’t be good. Why do celebrities and athletes insist on still playing with guns? When does that end well? Denver Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil was arrested on Saturday night in Miami and charged with aggravated assault with a firearm. Yep, that’s a felony. [...]
Andy Reid is going to love this one. Philadelphia Eagles backup RB Dion Lewis was arrested early Saturday morning up in Albany after he and his brother got locked out of the Hampton Inn. The general manager says that the lobby gets locked after midnight so you need your hotel key to get in. Now, [...]
The NFL has had some serious off-the-field issues this offseason. Too many guys (all seemingly on the Detroit Lions) have had run-ins with the law. But, one of the few guys that you don’t hear about getting in trouble, actually did. Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson, according to Houston Chronicle columnist Jerome Solomon, was arrested [...]
We already know about the ongoing issues of Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Aqib Talib, who recently lucked out when very serious charges against him were dropped. Even still, because of his previous problems, he could be facing league discipline for bringing harm to the Shield. And now, another starting Bucs corner could be facing league [...]
It was only a day or so ago that I was reading an article about the high hopes of Detroit Lions CB Aaron Berry. He’s a bigger cornerback and has a chance to win a starting spot this year with the departure of Eric Wright. We don’t know exactly what it takes to win the [...]
We hear about celebrities and athletes rocking the party with DUI’s all the time, but this one is particularly good. Jacksonville Jaguars rookie WR Justin Blackmon was arrested at 3 AM Sunday morning for aggravated DUI in Oklahoma. For it to be an aggravated DUI, your BAC has to be north of 0.15. Oh, and [...]
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Oakland Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey has gotten himself into a bit of trouble. Specifically, he was charged Thursday with DUI after an incident last month.

The NFL career of Mikel Leshoure is off to a pretty terrible start. After being selected in the second round of the 2011 NFL draft by the Detroit Lions, he just can’t get things going. He missed all of last year with a torn Achilles tendon and things have just gotten worse. ESPN 96.1 is [...]
Two days ago, former San Diego Chargers QB Ryan Leaf posted bail so that he could walk amongst the free after he was arrested for burglary and drug possession. For Leaf, this was really rock bottom and he has decided to really clean himself up and….wait, what? Yep, it’s two days later and he was [...]
The Miami Dolphins aren’t in great shape these days. They still don’t have a quarterback and you have players out there like Ryan Clark claiming that “no one” wants to go there. That sucks. So, the Dolphins aren’t in position to be dealing with any extra issues. But now, they have to. LB Koa Misi [...]
In 1991, pitcher Brien Taylor was the first-overall pick of the New York Yankees. He had showed some promise in Double-A at one point, but never was able reach his full potential because of a poor life decision. He got into a fight and injured his pitching shoulder, and was never able to pitch the [...]
We hear about – and write about – athletes getting arrested for DUI’s all the time. It happens constantly, but we suppose it’s a little different when your job as an athlete is to, you know, drive. We don’t know exactly what happened, but John Wes Townley was arrested around 4:30 AM Tuesday morning after [...]
We mentioned back in November that, following his ACL tear, Denver Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno was starting to head towards bust status. It’s not just that he gets injured too much to be a reliable bell cow, but he hasn’t shown any flashes of “special” that one would expect to see from the 12th-overall pick [...]
Well isn’t this interesting? If this doesn’t shine even more light on the fact that MLB has no clue what it’s getting from player’s from foreign countries, I don’t know what does. First we had the Leo Nunez fake identity scandal, and now this. You know that pitcher on the Cleveland Indians, Fausto Carmona, that [...]
This wouldn’t be the first time that Chelsea’s John Terry pissed someone off and I can promise it won’t be the last. This time, he’s facing criminal charges over an alleged racist rant directed at QPR’s Anton Ferdinand. “I have today advised the Metropolitan Police Service that John Terry should be prosecuted for a racially [...]
Now things are getting interesting. As if an NFL player getting busted as a major Chicago drug kingpin isn’t interesting enough. Now, a law enforcement source tells 670 The Score in Chicago that police have a list of NFL players who bought drugs from recently arrested Chicago Bears WR Sam Hurd. Oh boy! And the [...]
It’s not rare for an athlete to get caught with drugs. It’s not rare for them to get caught doing drugs. But, having a dimebag of weed in your pocket at a club is not the same as what Chicago Bears WR Sam Hurd is charged with doing. Nope, Hurd has been arrested on federal [...]
Sure, we could have posted about Albert Pujols and the Angels giving him a $254 million contract. But, we saw this story and thought it was far more intriguing. Remember the Miami Marlins closer Leo Nunez who got in trouble for using a fake identity in September? Well, he was arrested in his native Dominican [...]
As you may or may not have heard, Oakland Raiders LB Rolando McClain was involved (allegedly) in a little incident down in Alabama this week. He was arrested after being accused of holding a gun to a dude’s head as the he begged him not to shoot, and then fired the gun just away from [...]
Remember former Arizona Cardinal, Miami Dolphin and San Diego Charger David Boston? He was a first-round pick out of Ohio State and a damn good player for several years.
