Haven't seen any arrests from active NFL players since the Antonio Brown saga ended. His breed of stupid must've tightened the screws on many to stay out of trouble
Geez, remember him briefly in St. Louis. Sounds like he needs to lay off the blow. Which shouldn't be hard in jail for the better part of his life.

Former Buffalo Bills lineman Justin Bannan has been arrested for attempted murder after he reportedly shot a woman in Boulder, Colorado on Wednesday, according to the Daily Camera.
Bannan allegedly shot a woman in the arm. The woman was transported to a local hospital and treated. Her injuries are not life threatening. Though Bannan knew the woman, Boulder police say the shooting was random. The two worked in the same building, though did not interact often.
The charges that Bannan, 40, faces include “attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault extreme indifference, first-degree assault with intent to cause serious bodily injury, and first-degree burglary,” police told the Daily Camera.
According to police, when they picked him up, Bannan said he didn’t mean to shoot the woman, and that he was hiding from the Russian mafia. Bannan was carrying two loaded handguns and a $20 bill that was coated in a white substance. That substance tested positive for cocaine, according to police.
Bannan attended the University of Colorado, and was selected in the fifth round of the 2002 NFL draft by the Bills. He went on to play 11 years in the NFL, also spending time with the Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions and St. Louis Rams.
Bannan remains in custody, and is scheduled to have a bond hearing Thursday.
Talk about a waste. What a POS.... I know this isn't new, but the plea deal saved his sorry ass from life in prison.

Ex-NFL player Kellen Winslow Jr. takes plea deal in rape case

VISTA, Calif. -- Former NFL player Kellen Winslow Jr. pleaded guilty Monday to raping an unconscious teen and sexual battery involving a 54-year-old hitchhiker.
Winslow entered the pleas as he was about to be retried on two rape allegations in San Diego County Superior Court.
In exchange for his plea, the court agreed to sentence him to between 12 and 18 years in prison. He had faced life in prison if convicted of rape on multiple counts in the retrial.
In June, a jury found him guilty of raping a homeless woman in Encinitas, north of San Diego. Jurors also convicted him of two misdemeanors -- indecent exposure and a lewd act in public -- involving two other women.
But that jury failed to agree on other charges, including the alleged rape of the hitchhiker and the rape of the unconscious teen in 2003. Under the plea deal, the attack on the hitchhiker was reduced to sexual battery.
The 36-year-old former tight end -- at one point one of the highest-paid in the NFL -- had previously pleaded not guilty to the undecided charges. His attorney, Gretchen von Helms, had said the sex was consensual.
Five women took the witness stand this summer, and three of them were expected to testify again.
Defense attorneys attacked the credibility of the five women and pointed out inconsistencies in their stories in the first trial.
The court had planned to allow the new jury to hear that Winslow was convicted of raping the homeless woman, who would have been among those testifying again.
Jurors would also have been told about the indecent exposure conviction, though that woman was not expected to take the stand.
Winslow, who played for Cleveland, Tampa Bay, New England and the New York Jets, earned more than $40 million over 10 seasons in the NFL. He is the son of Chargers Hall of Fame receiver Kellen Winslow, who was in the courtroom throughout the first trial.
The defendant did not testify at his first trial.
