Charles Rogers Arrested Again

Word came down yesterday that Charles Rogers got arrested again, but what happened to lead to the arrest was merely a rumor. For his sake I had hoped it wasn’t true, but sadly the AP confirmed it today in what can only be described as another embarrassing and disappointing action by Rogers.
Novi Deputy Chief Tom Lindberg said Wednesday that Rogers was arrested at the suburban Detroit restaurant Tuesday afternoon on a warrant for disobeying a sobriety court order. Lindberg says Rogers was visibly intoxicated Tuesday and was taken to a hospital.
A police source said Rogers was taken into custody at about 3:15 p.m. ET after employees were unable to rouse him and feared he may have had a heart attack, the Detroit News reported.
"We were called to the restaurant on a medical run and he was taken to Providence Park Hospital for observation," Lindberg said, according to the report. He did not disclose the nature of the medical problem.
I think we have an early nominee for facepalm (see below) of the year award. I mean, who gets so wasted that they pass out in a restaurant at 3:15 in the afternoon? I personally thought the whole story on ESPN last year about him getting his life turned around seemed like a bunch of BS, and this latest screw up by Rogers seems to go well beyond confirming that. Right now Rogers simply needs to worry about staying out of jail (he got sentenced to 93 days, by the way), so unlike the hopeful tone portrayed by Rogers in the ESPN piece, the only way he will be anywhere near an NFL game is if he buys a ticket. Even then, considering he still owes the Lions millions of dollars and doesn't seem anywhere near ready to pay up, that scenario doesn't seem likely, either.

How could a guy that has it all fall all the way to the bottom :P

The bottom is...
…where most of us mere mortals subside. This guy has dug a hole in the bottom and is working his way through to China!

Yes
The fact that it was in a Mexican Restaurant is really the topper. The visual of seeing a once promising NFL stud passed the F~<k out in a dimly lit restaurant with half a bowl of tortilla chips and salsa in front of him and sombreros hanging next to maracas on the wall behind him is keeping me very entertained today.
This may sound stupid, but with all his financial and legal troubles, how is it that he is even able to pay to eat/drink at a Taco Bell?

so sad
imagine if Millen picked up AJ or a defensive player… they both dug their graves… so sad.. what a waste… and he probably feels that way .. (why he is getting arrested) …
GO LIONS in 2010! the transformation starts now.. they have much to do.

I've said it before...
…I’ll say it again. Charles Rogers is an idiot…and doing an excellent job representing his Alma Mader!
I’ve gone from being excited he was going to be a Lion…
…to bummed that he got hurt when he looked so promising…
…to frustrated that he couldn’t stay healthy….
…to pissed that he couldn’t keep his act together…
…to apathetic that he kept getting in trouble…
…to sympathetic that they wouldn’t let him back in the league…
…to embarassed for being sympathetic…
…to entertained by his idiocy!
What a freakin moron!

Damn!
Friggin spelling police pulled me over again.
Appropriate this time though, since the general thesus of the post was how big of a dummy Chucky is.

Charles is like your most embarrassing relative/In-Law.
You know the kind….when you meet people and they say “Hey, aren’t you related to him?”
Then they relate his/her last drunken escapade/brush with the law/near death experience and you stand there and grind your teeth, make some half assed excuse, and slink away.
Unfortunately he will be forever part of the Lions family. That goes double for all you Sparties.

I have to agree with what someone said above....
……Im sure with the way he is acting and the way of his actions since he left the game…..that he feels like he himself wasted his own talents and cant get over it.
