Shawn Merriman Arrested

For choking Tila Tequila of all people. If her song "I Love You" is to be believed Shawn Merriman is a dead man. Anyway this is the first time I'm glad to see that the Redskins drafted Carlos Rogers instead of Merriman. As far as the Chargers are concerned it's looking like drafting Larry English wasn't such a bad idea after all.

On a separate note I'm starting to get tired of seeing all these NFL players thinking it's ok to assault women. If this continues I think the NFL should consider handing out lifetime bands. The only problem with that though is what happens when a guy assaults another guy because at that point it can be looked at as a weird form of sexism.

Chargers' Merriman arrested for alleged assault on MTV star -- Union-Tribune Newsblog (http://weblog.signonsandiego.com/news/breaking/2009/09/chargers_merriman_arrested_for.html)

Edit: Nothing to see here move along. I am the best article reader ever and I never make mistakes.

At first I thought you were saying he was choking the tequila out of somebody. :confused: I'm as surprised he's dating her as I am about the charges. Tila Tequila......really? But yeah, these guys need to get a grip. No pun intended.

Just so you know, the 2nd article is not about the same Shawn Merriman, unless he is 46 years old.

If convicted of mail fraud, Merriman, 46, could face a maximum of 20 years in federal prison and a fine of as much as $250,000, as well as asset forfeiture and restitution.

Not much to say about the 1st article, I imagine he will be out for a good while if Goodell has anything to say on it. The question is when it will be ruled on.

wow. talk about a falling star. wonder how he'd have turned out if Gibbs had drafted him and been his mentor from the start...

Lmao, someone didn't read that article.

Shawn, next time you feel like strangling another MTV reality show star, I got a couple of suggestions... http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g15/Turd_Cutter/spencer_pratt300.jpg

I wonder if the warden will let him tweet from prison?

Oh s**t...:laughing2

After looking at her song, he may claim self defense (j/k)

I think one article said since it was his first offense?? Maybe criminal offense, but hasn't he been constantly in trouble with the NFL?

So Tony Romo is not the only choker in the NFL...
