I thought it was Arlington? But yeah dont f with FFC, just like state troopers theyre not pulling you over to give you a warning, youre getting a ticket and theyre going to look to see if theres anything else they can get you for.

If it was Fairfax maybe Merriweather will be lucky and get the same judge that tried ST for dui

Having said that, I would much rather see Jackson playing DB than Merriweather for one very simple reason:

Jackson is much better at covering receivers than Merriweather and in the end, that is the most important thing that a DB has to do.

I'm well aware, I guess I should have put a smiley face on my post.

What will the cost of his arrest be- fine/ suspended? Its hard to overlook the negative said about him when all we have to smile is about is he once was a Pro Bowler when he came into the league. Talented but a liability to show up when needed.
Wouldn't be surprised to see the team reach for a safety or CB on Saturday. Good luck with that.

What is the deal with these guys? It is like more and more of these younger guys don't appreciate the opportunity given to them, making primo mullah for playing a game. To be honest, I think that is part of it. These guys know they are way overpaid for what they do and maybe feel guilty or something to the point of doing self destructive garbage. To jeopardize your career driving drunk is just mind boggling on its own merits.

Only real decent DB left is Jenkins and he has way more issues than Meriweather.
