How does he even fit in a car.

In all seriousness, Suh is quickly becoming Albert Haynesworth 2.0.

Antonio Garay drives a Smart Car. I still want to see that happen. Video, not photos.

I'm actually kind of surprised that Haynesworth hasn't been arrested what with all the free time he has not actually being on any roster...

Dallas NT Josh Brent has been arrested for intoxication manslaughter after his teammate died in a crash in which Brent was driving. Not many details yet, story still developing.

OMG...they just broke into the Army-Navy game with this news. How horrible for EVERYONE related to them and the team.

[Moderator 2]

That is messed up ! Why don't these guys hire drivers?

[JO_75]

Even more further details... apparently Brent was speeding when his car hit a curb and flipped at least once.

According to Irving police spokesman John Argumaniz (via ESPNDallas.com), Brent was speeding when his vehicle hit a curb and flipped at least once. The accident happened around 2:20 a.m.

Brent had a prior DUI Arrest in 2009 when he was still in college.

In June 2009, he was sentenced to two years probation and 60 days in jail as part of a plea deal from a March 2009 DUI arrest in Champaign County, Illinois.

And it just gets even worse... apparently when cops arrived, Brent was pulling Brown from the car, which was on fire.

Brent signed a 4 year $1.839 Million contract in 2010, so your telling me that he didn't have the money to get a cab?

RIP to Jerry Brown. All we can do is pray and wait for justice to take its course...

[K-Dog]

This is a terrible tragedy.

If the drunk driving laws there are any thing like they are here he will get a smack on the wrist and sent on his way.

Also a tragedy.

I don't think so, because someone died, which makes it manslaughter. He's probably going to spend at least a decade in the slammer.

[Gordo52]

God bless everyone involved. Why, WHY can't you just call a cab?!

Very sad.

The award for the first off-season arrest goes to the Pittsburgh Steelers!

Steelers RB Chris Rainey was arrested this morning on one account of simple battery. Apparently Rainey and his girlfriend were arguing over.... a cell phone? Yes apparently an argument over a cell phone led to Rainey pulling her out of the car and slapping her across her face with an open hand.

According to a Gainesville Police spokesman, a 911 call was placed by witnesses who reported an argument between Gainey and his girlfriend, after she took his cell phone and got into his roommate’s car trying to get away from him.

According to the police report, witnesses said Rainey went to the passenger door of the car and pulled the woman out of the car, slapping her in the face. They both fell to the ground, then he chased her to try to get the phone back, grabbing her purse and causing both to fall again.

Time to start a new "2013 Off-Season Arrest Thread". This could be your first post.

Doesn't Rainey have a history of domestic violence?

Remember when Steeler fans listed him as a huge addition to the team? He is the textbook example of a hyped up scrub.

Yep. Stalking charge. Apparently he additionally sent a text message to a woman saying (and I'm substituting words we can't use here), "time to die female-dog."

[gabefergy]

Bye bye Rainey. Good luck finding another job in the NFL.

Pitt's 2012 draft class looking pretty bad right now. What's funny is right after the draft everyone was in love with it and everyone thought the Ravens draft was just average. Well looks like we had one of the best drafts in a while and Pitt just looks worse and worse.

What the hell is wrong with him. Dude has so much talent, but can't stop being involved with the police. Sad

Here's hoping we never see him again in the NFL! He didn't do something cute, like tax evasion. Domestic abuse is absolutely unacceptable!
