Kazkal Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 STEVENS CATCHES CHARGESFree-agent tight end Jerramy Stevens has been charged with driving under the influence and possession of marijuana, according to the Arizona Republic. (Thanks to our pal Gregg Rosenthal at Rotoworld.com for pointing this one out to us.)Stevens was arrested early Tuesday morning after he was pulled over and admitted to drinking "four or five margaritas." He was busted for possession of marijuana after an officer found some of it in his back pocket.Per the arrest report, "As [stevens] exited the truck he dropped his cell phone and wallet on the ground, bent down to pick them up, then stutter-stepped as he started to walk in my direction."For an ordinary person, dropping a cell phone and/or a wallet could be evidence of impairment. In the case of Stevens, who has proven time and again that he has the hand-eye coordination of a guy with no hands and no eyes, the fact that he was (allegedly) drunk might have simply been a coincidence.It is Stevens' fifth brush with the law since 1998. His record includes: (1) allegedly breaking a man's jaw with a baseball bat; (2) allegedly drugging and raping a 19-year-old girl while in college; (3) allegedly driving his car into a retirement home and then fleeing the scene; (4) allegedly driving drunk in 2003 when police found two empty champagne bottles in his vehicle during a traffic stop.

HoosierCat Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Would fit right in, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hawks just signed Marcus Pollard, so it looks like Stevens is SOL in Seattle.Given that the charges mean he'll be worth about one nickel (plugged) on the FA market, I think his chances of ending up in stripes have to be pretty good...

HoosierCat Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Anyone who wanted Stevens in our offense doesn't understand football.Anyone who doesn't understand what a pass-catching threat at TE could do for our offense wasn't watching the playoffs last season.

HoosierCat Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 That's the thing... He can't catch....Actually, he can. He tends to get streaky with drops, tho. Presses too hard, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presses too hard, IMHO.That's a really nice way of saying he's a choker. I'd rather not have a choker on this team with all the other things we have going on. Reggie Kelly will do fine.Although you have to admit, PFT's line regarding Stevens dropping his wallet not being a sign of impairment for him was great.

HoosierCat Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I'd rather not have a choker on this team with all the other things we have going on."Other things?" Are you suggesting that something has happened so far in the offseason that ought to be of concern? Darn, I've been assured everything was roses and rainbows...Yeah, the PFT line was good. But really, tell me you'd be surprised if the Bengals signed him? Stevens promises to come cheap, and that seems to be about the only criteria our FO is looking at right now. Character? Well, if it's any consideration in FA, to date it appears to be a small one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agreen_112 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Another player busted for Marijo. Are you guys gonna start to believe what I say now? Marijuana is everywhere in professional sports, so before you go and knock a guy like Chris Henry or Jeremy Stevens for smoking weed, think about your own favorite player, I bet he smokes it too. CJ smokes, he's just smart enough not to get caught! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ smokes, he's just smart enough not to get caught!So true. I always argue with people bashing our players for smoking weed like the only people that do are the ones that get caught. I wouldn't doubt somewhere around half the league smoking weed.I've heard CJ smokes it as well, my friends have met him and they said he seemed high at the time. People are just too naiive I guess, I wish he didn't but it doesn't bother me because they all do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What constitutes that behavior?I don't really believe CJ drinks or smokes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Many players do smoke - can say that much. CJ? Who knows, and who cares. I don't care if any of them do, as long as it doesn't affect their performance or status.Half or most of these guys, aren't people you'd want your daughter dating - put it that way. They are not people I look up to off of the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got rid of one of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 BTW I would stay as far away from Stevens as possible in FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazkal Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I've heard CJ smokes it as well, my friends have met him and they said he seemed high at the time.I think chads one of those people who seems high but doesn't need pot to seem that way.Half or most of these guys, aren't people you'd want your daughter dating - put it that way. They are not people I look up to off of the field.I'd allow my daughter to date chad . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
