NFL wide receiver David Moore -- who just signed a contract with the Chicago Bears this offseason -- was arrested this month after he allegedly fell asleep in a Taco Bell drive-thru, TMZ Sports has learned.
According to the Gainesville Police Dept., officers found Moore asleep in the driver's seat of a 2018 Ford F250 at the local fast-food joint at around 11:18 PM on July 3.
Cops say they were able to make contact with Moore -- and claim he smelled of weed during questioning.
An ensuing search, police say, revealed he had "a package of THC edible candies along with three pistols" in his car. Moore was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and unlawful carrying of weapons.
Records show Moore was booked into Cooke County, Texas jail on July 4 ... on the weapon and drug charges. The records show he bonded out a short time later.
Moore -- who's from Gainesville, Texas -- was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the 7th round of the 2017 NFL Draft, and quickly became a reliable target for Russell Wilson.
In four seasons with the 'Hawks, he recorded 78 catches for 1,163 yards and 13 TDs.
He later went on to play for the Panthers, Raiders, Broncos and Packers -- before signing with Chicago in April.
Moore is now the third Bear to run into legal trouble this offseason -- receiver Byron Pringle was jailed in April, while linebacker Matt Adams was just arrested last month.
I don't know if it was pointed out on here or elsewhere, but the dude in front who no-look catches someone's thrown shirt and then starts twirling it was incredible.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
Does anyone remember the skit the rookie WR for the Browns did where he was impersonating Jarvis Landry on Hard Knocks? I don't think the dude made the team, but that was one of the funniest things I ever saw. "Contagious."
One of the reasons I enjoy "Building the Browns" is just watching players having some fun.
The way the media covers every microscopic thing that happens. And how serious they make everything sound.
These are still young guys who like to have fun and enjoy what they do.
Every HC must just love these sorts of moments.
In less than a couple of minutes a big powerful rookie with some simple beats, lame moves and a girly voice creates more togetherness and camaraderie then what some teams hardly get in a whole month of practice. The set up with rookie traditions can sometimes go either way but this time HC Dan Campbell was drawing a jackpot and the abrupt build up with a nervous young giant who was forced to perform outside his comfort zone was just like a perfect movie. From the end of the boring slide show to Campbell’s dry and concise “Hutch! Get up here and give us some f%#king song” until the crescendo when the whole group was cheering, dancing and singing together.
From a leadership perspective it’s a wonderful moment when everyone is on the top of the mountain and experience a few seconds of magic. Suddenly everything they do together make sense because nothing trumps when people become friends and find togetherness.

I think it's pretty awesome that Myles participates to the fullest in things he is really passionate about, rather than the typical "window dressing" type community stuff.
That's been news for a week or so. Farve got a million or so for speeches he never gave. Some politician(s) apparently paid him out of a fund for those in need. It's unclear rather he knew that's what the money was for or not. He has paid the money back but will not be cleared until they have the whole story. Mississippi good ole boy crap going to bite them in the butt.

Your feelings and opinions do not add up to facts.
I dunno, kind of seems like it's being made into a bigger deal than it is to me. The government re-allocates funds all the time. State funds paying for improvements at a state school doesn't seem that nefarious to me. Now if Brett was using the funds to pay for personal stuff that'd be a different story. The money had to come from somewhere in the budget, and where it came from wasn't really Favre's decision. The optics have been made bad, but what ill will there is should be directed more at the politicians to me. Definitely could have picked a better place to re-allocate the funds from.
You mess with the "Bull," you get the horns. Fiercely Independent.

Actually the only damning thing I can see as it related to Favre is that he knew he was getting paid for appearances he didn't make. Obviously that's not good but it's not as nefarious as they make it sound.

Of course they do. But there's a process for that. The governor can't just arbitrarily take funds for one purpose and do as he pleases with it. I think that's the biggest issue in all of this.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
Since his daughter plays volleyball there, I'm guessing he's a member of the Southern Miss Women's Volleyball booster club. Raising funds is what booster clubs do. Was it channeled through Favre or just at his behest? As far as I can tell, the money all went straight to USM. Even the Favre being paid for things (speeches/ads) he didn't do semi-separate story appear to have been paid to the school for the new volleyball facility fund rather than him directly.

Definitely kind of sketchy/questionable, but there was supposed to be a wellness clinic (and may actually be one) included in the new facility which allowed it to tap into the welfare bucket. Were these funds dedicated to the "welfare program," or were they discretionary funds to be used for state "welfare" projects? It's unclear with all the twisting that goes on in the media and the associated partisan wrangling to figure out what exactly went down.

I understand the point you're trying to make. If you're actually interested it has been in the news for quite some time now and I'm quite sure the details would be easy to find. But from reading both of our posts on the topic it appears neither of us see it as something serious enough to explore.

This is a touching story and it shows that there are some really good guys playing in the NFL. The bad stories get the attention most times. It's nice to see this story about the Bears' David Montgomery and a little boy w/a heart ailment.

Dude's leg overshadowed the fact that he was also a great athlete/player. I mean, I get it, his leg also made him GOAT. I doubt we'll ever see anyone better.
Just horrible to see this stuff continue. Prayers for the families, friends, and teammates of all those impacted by this brutal act.

This isn't actually "player news" but I didn't think it deserved its own thread and wasn't sure where to post it.....
Titans OC Todd Downing arrested after win over Packers
The Tennessee Titans cruised to a fairly easy win over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night, and one member of the team may have gone a bit overboard while celebrating the victory.
Titans offensive coordinator Todd Downing was arrested early Friday morning after the team returned to Nashville. Police records show that he was charged with driving under the influence and speeding.
Downing had a great game plan in Tennessee’s 27-17 win over the Packers. Green Bay has one of the better pass defenses in the NFL, but the Titans were able to exploit it with a good balance of Derrick Henry runs and play-action passes. Ryan Tannehill completed an efficient 22-of-27 passes for 333 yards, two touchdowns and one ill-advised interception in the fourth quarter.
Titans head coach Mike Vrabel promoted Downing to offensive coordinator last season after Arthur Smith was hired as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. Downing was previously Tennessee’s tight ends coach.
Seven Michigan State Football Players Charged After Tunnel Incident
Seven Michigan State football players are facing charges stemming from the Michigan Stadium tunnel incident last month.
After the Wolverines’ 29–7 win over the Spartans on Oct. 29, several videos surfaced showing numerous MSU players punching and kicking Michigan players Ja’Den McBurrows and Gemon Green in the infamous tunnel. Investigations were subsequently launched, including one by the University of Michigan Division of Public Safety and Security with the MSU Police Department and Michigan State Police.
That investigation was sent to the prosecutor’s office for review Nov. 12, and on Wednesday, Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s office announced the following individuals faced charges:
Khary Crump: One count of felonious assault
Itayvion Brown: One count of aggravated assault*
Angelo Grose: One count of aggravated assault*
Justin White: One count of aggravated assault*
Brandon Wright: One count of aggravated assault*
Zion Young: One count of aggravated assault*
Jacoby Windmon: One count of assault and battery*
*Categorized as a misdemeanor.
The Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s office reiterated in its press release of the charges that these are “merely allegations.”
After the incident, MSU coach Mel Tucker suspended eight players for their involvement: Crump, Windmon, Brown, Grose, Young, Brandon Wright, Justin Wright and Malcolm Jones. Crump, a sophomore, could be seen in one of the videos swinging his helmet reportedly towards Michigan’s Gemon Green. The defensive back suffered a concussion from the altercation.
Jones is the only MSU player, at this time, who is not facing charges but is suspended indefinitely, like the other seven.
“At the University of Michigan we appreciate the thoughtful, deliberate approach from the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office to this unfortunate incident,” Michigan President Santa J. Ono said in a statement to The Detroit News. “We also want to express our concern for all the players involved, especially those who were injured. The University of Michigan will continue to cooperate fully with any additional reviews of this matter.”
Coach Mel Tucker did condemn the actions of his players, saying in his press conference the Monday after the game, “We’re not here to make any excuses for the behaviors on Saturday. They are unacceptable. It is also very important to say we honor the traditions of the Big Ten Conference, including the Michigan–Michigan State rivalry game. We have a responsibility to uphold the values of this great university.
“We are deeply sorry to both universities, the conference, our fans, alumni, supporters and, of course, all of our student-athletes, past and present.”
The Big Ten is also conducting an investigation.
Los Angeles attorney David Diamond released a statement on Nov. 8, claiming a Michigan player triggered the altercations. Diamond, who is representing one of the MSU players allegedly involved in the altercations, did not name his client, and said, in part, at the time, “While we acknowledge wrongdoing by all parties, this is not an incident that warrants criminal charges being filed.
“We have seen similar behavior and even worse on the gridiron and suddenly because it happens in a tunnel, known for incompetent security and poor post-game management, there are calls for criminal charges. My client is a young man who responded to the situation before him.”
Odell Beckham Jr. taken off plane after health concern, initial refusal 4:12 PM ET
Odell Beckham Jr. was removed from a flight at Miami International Airport on Sunday after police say the free agent wide receiver was "in and out of consciousness" and refused to leave the airplane when asked.
According to a statement from the Miami-Dade Police Department, officers were called to the airport for a medical emergency after the flight crew expressed concern that Beckham was seriously ill.
"The flight crew was concerned for a passenger [Mr. Odell Beckham], as they tried to wake him to fasten his seat belt, he appeared to be coming in and out of consciousness, prior to their departure," the police statement said. "Fearing that Mr. Beckham was seriously ill, and that his condition would worsen through the expected 5 hour flight, the attendants called for police and fire rescue. Upon the officers arrival, the flight crew asked Mr. Beckham several times to exit the aircraft, which he refused."
Police said the airplane was evacuated and that Beckham ultimately got off the plane when asked by officers. Social media video appeared to show Beckham walking into the terminal with police officers. Editor's Picks
Beckham appeared to address the incident in a series of tweets Sunday morning, writing "Never in my life have I experienced what just happened to me... I've seen it alll.." and calling the situation "comedy hr."
American Airlines, which was operating the Miami-to-Los Angeles flight, also released a statement saying the plane returned to the gate due to "a customer failing to follow crew member instructions and refusing to fasten their seatbelt." The flight took off almost two hours after initially scheduled.
Police said Beckham made other arrangements after being removed from the flight. He was not arrested in the incident.
Beckham, who has not played this season while recovering from a torn ACL suffered in last season's Super Bowl, was expected to meet with teams this week ahead of a possible signing.
The Dallas Cowboys are believed to be the front-runners to sign Beckham, with the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers also in the mix.
