Also on Monday, the Dolphins suspended Shelby indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team

More PSAs on the horizon, I sense.

Just how serious could this be if bail was only $100?

Andrea Peyser has a somewhat related column in today's New York Post about double standards. I don't know what happened with this latest incident but this column is worthy of a read.

Yet another renowned athlete has been hit with charges of domestic violence — allegedly pummeling two relatives, leaving a 17-year-old boy bleeding from a cut on his ear and a woman’s cheekbone swollen and purple. But while beleaguered officials of the NFL have made belated attempts to stop the violence — exiling players accused or convicted of using their hands for reasons unrelated to a playing field — this sports figure continues to smack a ball around.

Miami's personnel department obviously continuing to do a stellar job.

"Shelby appeared intoxicated and began photographing and taping the off-duty officer, Lauren Collins, who requested backup assistance."

Don't you know who I am?

Well, at least he was touching females and not males! Give him a medal for being hetero! ;-)

He was drunk, when he is sober {not too often} he likes the bois. S/off {maybe}

Maybe he was just feeling the material like George.

In a related story, the government of Italy arrested every male citizen between the ages of 15-70. Only clergy were excluded, but that’s because they’re the subject of a very different investigation.

Looks like Derrick got a little "treatment" from the security guards & cops:

That's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Here ya go:

Shelby appeared intoxicated and began photographing and taping the off-duty officer, Lauren Collins, who requested backup assistance. When other officers arrived, Shelby refused to cooperate and continued to struggle, according to Collins.

A Taser was fired three times at Shelby before he was taken into custody, Collins wrote in her report.

He was evaluated at Broward Health Medical Center before being taken to jail, from which he was released about 10:30 a.m. Saturday after posting a $100 bond.
