Several years ago, another Redskin player was involved in a road accident. His name escapes me now, but he wrapped his Benz around a tree. When the cops got to the wreck, the first thing out of this guys mouth was "I'm so and so, defensive back for the Washington Redskins". Talk about a rich, arrogant POS.
I know what you mean, but when faced with such a situation, you can't blame a person for trying. Don't you think that if a cop is ever stopped for a DUI that the first thing out of his mouth is that he is a cop?
Regardless, the fact that the story you mentioned was reported shows that the cops didn't give the guy a break because of his being an NFL player.
