This from the Detroit Free Press and the Saginaw News
"Charles Rogers, the former Michigan State standout receiver and Lions draft bust, has been in Oakland County Jail since Wednesday on $100,000 bond.
According to Novi police chief David Molloy, Rogers was arrested Sept. 12 in Novi, where he once lived, after calling 9-1-1 regarding an incident involving him and a woman. Rogers was charged with assault and battery and later pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of trespassing and was sentenced to probation, Molloy said.
Rogers violated probation by allegedly taking unauthorized leave from partial confinement and testing positive for narcotics, the Oakland Press reported, citing court records. He is to appear in court at 9 a.m. Monday.
An arbitrator ruled in October that Rogers must repay the Lions $8.5 million because he defaulted on his contract when he served a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy in 2005.
Rogers, a prep star from Saginaw, starred at wide receiver for the Spartans, and the Lions drafted him second overall in 2003. But after he struggled with injuries and other issues, the Lions cut him before the 2006 season. He has been out of the NFL since."
WHAT is up with all these NFL guys right now??? {as an aside, OJ is REALLY going to jail for a bunch o' years} What is the risk factor for all this stupidity?? Being a Sparty? Having way too much money too early? Is it their socioeconomic status as kids that then pervades their thinking as adults?? Why don't we see these kind of stories about non-white players? I'm not being funny right now---I'm really really wondering WTF.......

You know it's too bad that players do this especially when they are from the Big Ten. From Larry Johnson to Plaxico Burress and now this. It's a shame...
