Damon Arnette, former 2020 1st round pick for the Raiders, indicted on assault and firearm charges.
A Clark County grand jury has indicted former Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Damon Arnette after police said he lost his valet ticket at a Strip hotel and threatened a valet with a gun, documents said. On Jan. 28, 2022, Las Vegas Metro police arrested Arnette, 26, on charges of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, assault with a deadly weapon, and two drug charges. The Clark County District Attorney's Office dropped the case in July 2022. Last week, the grand jury indicted Arnette on the assault with a deadly weapon and firearm-related charges, records showed. Click To View Spoiler When the parking attendant asked Arnette for more information about his car to find it and confirm his identity, the former Raider reportedly said, 'Give me my [expletive] keys," police said. The parking attendant also said he heard the "sound of a gun cocking" and that he thought Arnette "was going to shoot him and his manager," the report said. In November 2021, the Raiders dropped Arnette after a video of Arnette went viral where he is seen brandishing a gun and threatening to kill someone."I guess he didn't know where his valet ticket was, he couldn't find it," a Metro police officer told the grand jury last month, according to transcripts. "They didn't want to give him his valet ticket and he got upset and produced a firearm and took the keys." Police later stopped Arnette at a gas station on Las Vegas Boulevard, believing the car was stolen, documents said. "I was able to see Mr. Arnette standing by the vehicle that he claimed was his and he was confrontational," an officer told the grand jury about Arnette's arrest. "And I saw him reach down into his waistband of his sweatpants and pull out what appeared to be a gun and place it into the driver's side door, which at that point was open." |

Brett Favre speaking on Jason Whitlock's "Fearless" podcast this week:
Regarding transgender restroom use: "To think that a young man who identifies as a girl, I don't understand it, just hear me out, can go into a girl's bathroom and use the restroom with girls, and for us to think that's OK, I think is wrong. I'm sorry. ... I just think some things we're allowing in this country are beyond belief Some of the thoughts and beliefs we're seeing are crazy." Regarding transgender women in sports and athletes being afraid so speak out against it: "I think maybe vast majority are afraid of what it'll do to their career. And it's not affecting them directly. Not yet, at least. Who knows where this country's going? It may affect them somewhere down the road. Is it too late? I don't know. It's scary." Regarding Trump: "I think our country was in better shape with him. I think Donald was a non-political president, and I liked that about him. Was he perfect? Absolutely not. Am I perfect? Absolutely not. I'm flawed just like the rest of 'em. We're all flawed. But I really felt like he had our country in a better place and really cared about our people in our country. Black, white, Hispanic, Asian - you name it. I think if you were an American citizen, he cared about you, first and foremost. I don't know if our current president has the same mentality." |

The Bowie Baysox (a minor league baseball team who play at Prince George's Stadium, ~10 miles from FedEx Field) will be celebrating the impending sale of the Commanders by having a "Washington Commanders Ownership Celebration" day Thursday night.
As part of the celebration, fans wearing Washington football gear may purchase half-price box seats. In addition, any fans with the first or last name Josh or Harris, and anyone wearing a Magic Johnson jersey, will receive a free general admission ticket. Baysox General Manager Brian Shallcross said his front office team had been discussing for several weeks ways to celebrate the sale, "We didn't want to do anything until that type of agreement was in place. We didn't want to jump the gun." Originally they discussed having a "Snyder Retirement Party", but "ultimately we decided we just didn't want to acknowledge Dan that much. We wanted the promotion to be positive and forward-looking. ... It's hard to find somebody that has positive things to say about the organization and the ownership, so we just thought it was the right time for a celebration." |

Twelve NFL officials have left this off-season. It is the most in a single off-season since 2013. It is also just the 2nd time in NFL history in which double digit officials have left in consecutive years.
More than 20 officials in the last two years? I'm sure that won't negatively impact the officiating at all. I wonder how many are retiring vs quitting/moving on/moving up. |

Quoted: Typically, they just vulture the collegiate officials. I would think that would provide a better-quality official then training a player from scratch. However, creating a program to help feed former players into collegiate level official positions where they could potentially come up does sound like an excellent idea. No fucking way in hell they would pay them vet minimum though. "It is estimated that the average NFL official makes about $205,000 a year."

No fucking way in hell they would pay them vet minimum though. "It is estimated that the average NFL official makes about $205,000 a year." Isn't vet min like 250k for guys who only lasted a few years in the league? Players already know a decent amount of the rules & how they're typically enforced. Obviously as a player they have a completely different perspective on those rules, but at least they know. Most of the players who wash out aren't going to make that kind of money elsewhere, and they get to stay around a game they likely love, so there is plenty of incentive there... |

Speaking of which, the idiocy displayed by that female ref (I think the first one ever) in the Redskins/Browns game remains one of those most absurd things I’ve ever seen from an NFL ref.
All refs make mistakes. Especially when trying to make judgments with less than a second to think about it. However, to run up to a pile to determine who has the ball, make a change of possession decision based on what you see, AND THE BALL ISN’T EVEN THERE is next level incompetence. Attached File |
