What is it these days with football players and firearms? Is the NRA trying to recruit future replacements for Charlton Heston or something?
First, there’s Redskins safety Sean Taylor, who now faces 46 years in prison on gun charges, which will no doubt be reduced to about 46 hours of community service because, y’know, he plays football. Then there’s Maurice Clarett, who’s not even in the NFL and waving a gun around like he is.
Now Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry in getting into the act. A traffic cop in Orlando spotted Henry pulling a Luger on some people he decided he didn’t like, and the cop arrested him on all manner of felony charges. Oh, by the way, that Luger was reported as stolen. Oops.
Between this and Chad Johnson allegedly beating up coaches, Bengals’ head coach Marvin Lewis may be starting to wonder if his receiving corps has the same crazy virus that’s infected Ron Artest for the last few years…
