Another NFL Player Arrested For Doing Something Stupid

Backups Gone Wild

Yet another NFL player was arrested yesterday for doing something really stupid in the off season. This is the 34th NFL player to get in trouble with the law in the month of April. Agent Drew Rosenhaus spoke to media this morning representing his client. "My client did something really stupid, and got arrested... I'm not going to say what he did or who else he was with, which were also all my clients, but it was really stupid. Next question."

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made a written statement about the level of crime rates among NFL players. "I am very displeased with all the dumb things these professionals do in the off season but we can't control what they do in their personal lives, no matter how boneheaded it may be. Currently we are working on a new discipline system in the new CBA to control these players during the off season. I think if we rewarded the players for behaving they would stop, maybe a bonus check for a clean record for a year or a trip to Dairy Queen for the rookies."

In the last 3 weeks alone, there have been twice as many arrest than usual. Many experts say the increase in arrest is due to the boredom the NFL work stoppage has created. Just last week Arizona Cardinals kicker Jay Feely was arrested for loitering in front of University of Phoenix Stadium. "I just didn't know what to do with myself..." Jay said after leaving the police station. "I wanted to go into work but they didn't let me... so I got bored."
