Saw it on ESPN.
The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018

Sharper, who played 14 seasons in the NFL with Green Bay, Minnesota and New Orleans, was arrested and booked Friday and released on $200,000 bail just before midnight. He faces a Feb. 14 court appearance.
LAPD said it is investigating Sharper in connection with two sexual assaults that occurred in October and earlier this month in the West Los Angeles area.
Re: Darren Sharper arrested in L.A.
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.Funkytown wrote:

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.

Re: Darren Sharper arrested in L.A.
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

Re: Darren Sharper arrested in L.A.
He'll get off like all the other athletes who were accused of rape.
Re: Darren Sharper arrested in L.A.
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.

Re: Darren Sharper arrested in L.A.
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?
