What are the stupidest things NFL players have ever done?

[CC.SD]

Lot of stupidity around this great league.

Ben won't stop getting accused of rape. Shaun Rogers bringing a loaded gun onto an airplane has got to be up there. Some guy a while back wanted a reporter to just leave him alone. Plaxico shot himself in the leg. What are the best of the best?

I'll just name some names and have people play "name that incident":

Michael Vick
Leonard Little
Donte' Stallworth
Onterrio Smith
Mark Chmura

...That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

[Hurricanes25]

Bill Gramática tearing his ACL while celebrating a pointless FG

That tops them all.

[AntoinCD]

As you said Plaxico accidently shot himself. That is one of the stupidest things Ive ever heard of.

Brandon Marshall slipping on a McDonalds bag and hurting his arm was pretty stupid too.

[CC.SD]

Lawrence Phillips existed too

[Splat]

Who was the QB that head butted the wall after a TD and gave his self a concussion?

That has to be near the top.

[BaLLiN]

what about that redskins QB who hit his head on the wall when celebrating a touchdown and strained his neck?

[A Perfect Score]

The Shaun Rogers thing just has me confused. Did he really think that in a post 9/11 world he was going to be able to bring a loaded handgun in his carry on bag? I didnt know there were people out there that stupid.

[BaLLiN]

Who was the QB that head bunted the wall after a TD and gave his self a concussion?

Remember when the Pats had a rb from Georgia that blew out a knee, i think it was, playing beach football in Hawaii.

To be fair, I don't think he was "trying" to get hit by two guys, I think he just was just diving for some extra yards. But still extremely hilarious and probably extremely dumb to not slide or even fall backwards instead of diving like that.

When I read this thread the 1st thing that instantly popped into my head was shooting yourself in the leg at a night club, so I've got to go with that. There are alot others, but that's a clear winner of stupidity for me.

[J-Mike88]

On the Field Stupid:

-Wrong way Jim Marshall is tough to beat if you're talking "stupid".
-Leon Lett, that was pretty stupid, but that rule is a little more detailed than knowing which direction to go.

Off the Field Stupid, past couple years
-Pac-Man
-Tank Johnson
-Plaxico accidentally shooting himself and basically ending his career coming off a Super Bowl
-An arrest warrant was issued for Dallas Cowboys fullback Deon Anderson, who is alleged to have pulled a gun during a dispute with restaurant staff.
-January 9th: Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch reportedly has been accused of stealing $20 from a police officer’s wife.
-New York Jets defensive end Shaun Ellis was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana, speeding and driving without insurance after being pulled over by police last weekend.
-Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Billings on cocaine trafficking charges.
-Tampa Bay Buccaneers reserve safety Donte Nicholson was tasered twice and arrested during a weekend scuffle in which he threatened police officers at the entrance of a St. Petersburg nightclub.
-Former Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson was ordered Monday to install an ignition-lock breath tester in his car after he was charged with drunken driving for the 5th time.
-Cleveland Browns defensive back Kenny Wright was arrested Thursday after police said he led them on a quarter-mile foot chase that began in the parking lot of the police station.

Yeah Quincy Carter ruined his career with his weed addiction. lol. Then he started doing some heavier stuff. One of the stupidest people on this planet. Troy Hambrick selling crack, he wasnt too bright either.

edit...I'd also add something in Hambrick's career. Dallas cut Emmitt loose, which meant Hambrick was going to be the guy. Instead of working out and gearing up for his first real shot as a starter, he just spent his off-season eating at his mother's house. Ballooning up to about 245 pounds. BP called him a whale the first time he saw him. Took Hambrick too long to get the weight off, and he was only a sporadic performer as a starter. He may not have been great if he was more prepared/conditioned, but the guy freaking blew it. He had a real chance and he just pissed it away.

It's always been about that ;)

Narcotics in general have been on the upswing in the past decade. Cocaine use is up slightly. Ecstasy is WAAAAY up. Heroin (and it's opiate based derivatives) is all the rage again, like it's like it's the 1990s.

That's all for the average person. Not to over-generalize, but a lot of professional football players are ******* junkies for their pain pills. But they're not bad because they're legal...never mind the fact that most pain pills are opiate based, effectively making them synthesized heroin.

Orlando Brown

http://i.cdn.turner.com/sivault/multimedia/photo_gallery/0812/history.december19/images/BROWNS_O%287%29.jpg

"He is known for an incident during a pro football game at home in Cleveland on December 19, 1999 against the Jacksonville Jaguars in which he was accidentally hit in the eye by a penalty marker weighted with BB's thrown by referee Jeff Triplette. Triplette immediately apologized to Brown, who was then tended to by the medical staff. A few minutes later, when play was about to resume, Brown was being taken to the locker room when he pushed past the trainers, ran out on the field and shoved Triplette, knocking him to the ground. Brown was ejected from the game and subsequently suspended by the NFL, although the suspension was lifted when his injury did not heal. The next year, Brown was cut from the Browns, and he sued the NFL for damages. Brown was forced to sit out three seasons because of the eye injury and settled with the NFL for a reported amount of $50 million."

Charles Rogers.

Charles Rogers owes the Lions six million dollars. How much of a fail is that? Bust out of the league and then owe six million dollars to the team that drafted you. I can guarantee he does not have that money.

[Ravens1991]

On the field Daren Stone for the Ravens thought it would be cool to body slam some steeler 10 yards out of bounds in the 4th quarter of the AFC title game. They were so far out of bounds the steeler was shoved into the ball boy!. We went from around the 40 to the 14 because Stone wanted to be mr tough guy since he got KTFO on the opening kickoff. That got the towels waving, Flacco had to call a time out then threw a INT the next play. Thanks a lot Daren, did Pitt give you a ring?

But Vick has the whole Ron Mexico Herpes thing, trying to sneak weed on a plane and then the whole running an illegal dog fighting syndicate that basically bankrupted him on a $100m contract. That is a truly special kind of stupid.

I think that was Atlanta's Eugene Robinson.

Has any NFL player ever had a day go from good to bad as this?

On the morning before Super Bowl XXXIII, Robinson was awarded the Bart Starr Award from the Christian group 'Athletes in Action' for his "high moral character". However, that very night he was arrested for offering an undercover female police officer posing as a prostitute $40 for oral sex. Robinson went on to play vs Denver but had an awful game.

The Minnesota Vikings Sex Boat Party Scandal

"An alleged sex party occurred on October 6, 2005 on Lake Minnetonka with seventeen key members of the Minnesota Vikings football team; including quarterback Daunte Culpepper, Fred Smoot, Mewelde Moore, Pat Williams, Bryant McKinnie, Nate Burleson, Ralph Brown, Troy Williamson, Travis Taylor, Kevin Williams, Jermaine Wiggins, Lance Johnstone, Moe Williams, Ken Irvin, and Willie Offord. Two boats were rented and some, but not all of the players performed sexual acts in front of crew members. Prostitutes from Atlanta and Florida were flown in for the party, in order to perform the sex acts. There were apparently ninety people on the two boats. An anonymous former player of the Minnesota Vikings claimed that this is not the first time that such an incident had happened."

Sadly his life has been in a downward spiral ever since including a 2005 incident when he was shot in a brawl with three police officers and charged with attempted murder.

Its even worse for Henry now. After the birth of twins in 2009, the number is at least eleven children from ten different women. Henry was arrested in March 2009 and charged with failing to pay $16,600 in child support. His lawyer estimated that he was obligated to pay at least $170,000 per year in child support payments.

In July 2009, Henry was sentenced to three years in federal prison for financing a cocaine trafficking operation.
