Darren Sharper arrested in L.A.

Post by PurpleMustReign »

Saw it on ESPN.
Former Pro Bowl safety Darren Sharper has been arrested in Los Angeles on a felony charge, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Sharper, 38, was arrested and booked Friday afternoon before being released on a $200,000 bond.

It was not clear what Sharper has been charged with.

A five-time Pro Bowler, Sharper has worked as an analyst for the NFL Network since retiring in 2010.

The NFL Network announced in a statement that Sharper has been suspended without pay, effective immediately.

Sharper played 14 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints, recording 63 career interceptions.
The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." ‪#‎SKOL2018

He does seem like the rapin type. Oh wait, I mean narcissistic, he seems like the narcissistic type. I already know how it went down. She said "no", and he said, "come on baby, I'm Darren Sharper. Look at my suit". Then in his mind he was like, "she'll thank me afterward, I'm Darren Sharper". Yeah that's totally how it went down. Later when Rapelisberger was reached for comment he said, "No way! That's totally what happened to me too brah. And she like didn't thank me or nothin either. Then I was all like, do you know who I am? #### be crazy".

The truth is sick sometimes. Oh did I say sometimes? Because I meant all the time. "Damn nature, you scary". Anyone watch Family Guy? No? That's too bad.

So sometime and overtime are 1 word, but part time and all time have to be 2 words? Or is all-time with a hyphen? Seriously who decides these things? When does this compound word committee hold it's meetings? Oh they don't? Ahhh ok, I think I see the problem.

I was wondering why he hasn't been on the Gangster Joke NFL channel lately. He should have studied English a little more in school. Terrible analyst repeating the same old catch phrases over and over. Sad these guys make such big money and can't talk or think. That's what happens when you take basket weaving, home economics and archery all thru college

I think I know what's going on here ... it seems like athletes are either being accused of rape or they have 7 kids with 7 different women these days. Women are preying on these poor innocent athletes. The real victims. These predatory women are really after that baby momma money, but then when they don't get knocked up they go after the consolation prize, hush money or a settlement. Which usually follows a rape accusation.

Jesus, Darren.

Darren Sharper - DB - Free Agent

Ex-NFL S Darren Sharper has been charged with drugging and raping two women in Los Angeles.

These are felony charges. Sharper, 38, is accused of raping two women whom he had invited back to his hotel room. He reportedly gave them liquid shots containing Ambien and morphine, causing them to pass out. One woman woke up while Sharper was assaulting her, while the other woke up naked hours later. It's been requested that bail be set at $10 million because Sharper is being investigated for rapes in L.A., New Orleans, Nevada and Arizona.

My god. WTF Darren. He seemed like the last person you would expect to do this. This is very bizarre.

I think he'll learn a little somethin' somethin' about rape in prison.

Has he been working for NFL Network lately (not lately lately, but lately)? Or where have I seen him?

Has he made any statements about this?

He was suspended indefinitely from NFLN. No statements. He's ####.
