NFL players behaving badly (hold your shock)

So we know this might send your world into upheaval, but try to stick with us for a minute: Both Jerramy Stevens AND Joey Porter have been making news for off-field incidents. Yeah, right, you say. Next thing you know, Don Lucia will be complaining about the Gophers’ regional draw. But read on:
From Normclarke.com: A National Football League player was cited for misdemeanor battery after he punched a league rival in the face Sunday night at a gaming table in the Palms, Las Vegas police said.
Linebacker Joey Porter, a longtime Pittsburgh Steeler who signed a five-year, $32 million deal with the Miami Dolphins this month, was cited for the brief fight he had with Levi Jones, an offensive tackle with the Cincinnati Bengals, in the casino about 6:55 p.m., Las Vegas police Lt. Kevin McMahill said.
“Apparently these two have a history with each other, a history of trash talking on the field,” McMahill said. Jones was treated by medical personnel at the scene, McMahill said.
Oh, but there’s more. Stevens? Well, you can read about him right here. Let’s just say he’s the kind of neighbor you hope you never have, unless he invites you to his parties.
They say bad news comes in threes. Fred Smoot, come out from hiding!
