NFL Lockout: Crazy Days, Crazy Players
* Braylon Edwards wrecked his sports car in Belle Isle, Michigan early last Friday morning, losing control of his Audi and driving into a pylon. Surprisingly Edwards, who faces trial on a DWI charge stemming from a police stop last September, did not get a ticket. Apparently, the officer must have thrown it at him. Edwards can't catch a pass, but he Can catch a break.
* Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Darnell Dockett was stopped by police for speeding on Monday, and Dockett took to Twitter to report the incident as it unfolded. "I don't know why the police are always messing w/me," he tweeted, then demanded the cops get a warrant if they wanted to search his vehicle, followed later by an update saying he was let go. In total, three officers responded to the call, which resulted in neither a search nor a ticket for Dockett. It wasn't Dockett's first brush with incompetent buffoons — he's had a number of run-ins with the Cardinals defensive staff. Chalk it up to a victory for civil rights, and a loss for policemen who think they can mess with Darnell Dockett, who now will be known as the "140-Character Assassin."
* Chad Ochocinco said he will wrestle alligators, his latest stunt in an adventurous offseason that's seen him ride a bull and practice with a professional soccer team. Ochocinco acknowledged the danger of the stunt, saying he could lose and arm or a leg, which is entirely possible, because although alligators don't follow him on Twitter, the carnivorous reptiles will follow him in the wild.
* Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder, on the debut of his weekly radio talk show in Miami, hinted that he sold some of his jerseys while at the University of Florida, only to backtrack on ESPN on Tuesday, when he said he didn't sell any jerseys. Asked to explain his dubious statements, Crowder said his words should never have even been reported, since he was speaking on the condition of "ambiguity."
* Agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed that Terrell Owens did indeed have surgery to repair a torn ACL in April, and said that Owens has no intention to retire and will be ready to play in August. It has been rumored Owens hurt the knee while taping a segment for his VH1 reality show. Rosenhaus said that was not true, although it would have been perfectly understandable had Owens been injured mugging for the camera.
* Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt surrendered to police in Tennessee on two warrants alleging he gave inaccurate information on two separate drivers license applications. Britt is not the only Titans receiver to be accused of making false statements — Randy Moss told Jeff Fisher in November that he would be a productive addition to the team.
