GLENDALE, Ariz. – If it comes to it, the oft-proclaimed "America's Toughest Sheriff" says he has a pair of pink underwear, a bologna sandwich and a spot in a dirty old prison tent for Tom Brady, Eli Manning or, most certainly, Paris Hilton.
Maricopa County – which includes much of metropolitan Phoenix – is host to the Super Bowl, one of the nation's most decadent party weekends where, sometimes, celebrities and even athletes find themselves on the wrong side of the law.
Around here the law means Joe Arpaio, the tough talking, tougher-ruling sheriff who would like nothing better than to make an example out of a high-profile criminal and give them the kind of treatment you might expect in what used to be the wild, wild West.
So for the football player who might get into a bar fight or the starlet who might drive drunk, consider yourself warned.

he should have run for President
Could you imagine....No more Club Fed Prisons...ha ha ha
The media would try to discredit him by showing him being too tough on criminals and his poll numbers would go up every time.
NFL PING
His methods are punitive. They are meant to be so.
I expect that his jurisdiction is a fairly peaceful place.
“he should have run for President.”
At least he’s endorsed the only good candidate left: Romney.
I like Joe Arpaio & wish we had more men like him.
While I like what Arpaio does, Maricopa county has an above-average violent crime rate for an urban county in the Southwest.
“Joe Arpaio, the tough talking, tougher-ruling sheriff who would like nothing better than to make an example out of a high-profile criminal.....”
For a long while, I considered this guy to be a great American. Then I started reading more and after getting a better understanding of this guys true nature, I consider him to be a fascist in hiding. To “love” to arrest people seems to me to be an indicator of something very UNAmerican.
*********************************
“There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers.”
