Already 2nd arrest during Shannahan's short tenure as coach.

As much as people hate PFT (including me), we sure do post a lot of their stories. Well here's the actual story from NBC 4.

Meh. He and Rinehart both arrested this offseason. Who really cares. Two guys who probably shouldn't be on the team anyway.

That's what I'm saying.

re: Updated: Byron Westbrook Acquitted of DUI Charges
 

I've never understood Westbrook's value to the team beyond "pretends to be his brother during the week two times a year to help the defense prepare for a guy who may or not play anyway because of a concussion"

LOL. I just sat down to type that exact same thing.

By the way, were you drunk when you wrote the thread title? ;)

Ditto. I know I mentioned him in another thread in regards to being one of our CB's we would have for next yr but in past yrs I have railed against him wondering what the team see's in him as to why we keep him? 3 year practice squad member does not always mean we are loaded at talent at that position. It just means he sucks worse then the others.

re: Updated: Byron Westbrook Acquitted of DUI Charges
 

A player that needs trouble the least. It never ceases' to amaze me how athletes can continue to get arrested for DUI. One would think they would eventually learn from each others experience. I guess that's not the case.

He played pretty well as gunner on teams this year. He was always down there as the ball was coming down.

re: Updated: Byron Westbrook Acquitted of DUI Charges
 

That reminds me. Does McCoy have a brother because we're probably going to need someone else to impersonate the Eagles starting running back.

re: Updated: Byron Westbrook Acquitted of DUI Charges
 

and.......... cut.

I might of had a few beers after work

re: Updated: Byron Westbrook Acquitted of DUI Charges
 

His time as a Redskin will very soon come to an end. Not that he did anything for this club worth talking about. Scrub.

BYE

You can fix it when the laughs fade away.

I think I'll just fix it now

"
A Charles County sheriff's deputy arrested Washington Redskins cornerback Byron Westbrook on suspicion of drunken driving early Friday.
The deputy pulled Westbrook over on Route 5 near Lakewood Place in Waldorf, Md., just before 2 a.m. after observing the car Westbrook was driving switching lanes several times, authorities said. When Westbrook opened the window, the deputy smelled what he believed to be alcohol."

Charles county Maryland becuase of it's correlation to PG county and Washington DC has stepped up Police patrols and the area from which he was drinving is exactly where the Police sit every night.I know becuase I live in Waldorf.

re: Updated: Byron Westbrook Acquitted of DUI Charges
 

Yep, that's what the article from a week ago said.

re: Updated: Byron Westbrook Acquitted of DUI Charges
 

What is really surprising about the article is that Westbrook drives a Mercedes. Either his brother bought it for him or football players simply make too much money.

re: Updated: Byron Westbrook Acquitted of DUI Charges
 

Ahhh just cause he drives a Benz doesn't mean he has got alot of cash.

Used ones don't hold thier value to well and can be picked up at a reasonable price. As a car guy, they aren't exactly the greatest cars in the world either and are purchased more as a status symbol than because of performance.

Sorry to get off on a tangent. Good to see he got off I suppose.

re: Updated: Byron Westbrook Acquitted of DUI Charges
 

He was out drinking because he realized he will be getting cut after training camp.

Well it all boils down to access. There are some on here who appear to work for networks in some form or fashion. They seem to have good inside info. But to the simpletons, such as myself, who don't want to pay a website for inside info... where do you go?

Yes PFT is not the best and it does seem like its the "Enquirer" of sports info but there is two obvious things
1- Its free!
2- Its updated frequently
3- They atleast have some truth to the stories, usually its the meat and potatoes, but they might not have the full story. and sometimes they have a no hitter just like all the other media outlets.

What good are frequent updates when they're from "unnamed sources"?

re: Updated: Byron Westbrook Acquitted of DUI Charges
 

PFT is great at collecting links, I don't always care for the commentary they attach to the stories and some of their rumors are sketchy at times.

re: Updated: Byron Westbrook Acquitted of DUI Charges
 

Also, at this time of year there is not a whole lot of anything happening so PFT gives us fans something to laugh at and talk about.

re: Updated: Byron Westbrook Acquitted of DUI Charges
 

Didn't want to start a new thread. This could have gone in the drunk thread as well I suppose but...

re: Updated: Byron Westbrook Acquitted of DUI Charges
 

Big surprise. An idiot player being completely irresponsible and putting other peoples lives in danger so he can go to the club and show everyone how hood he is. Sucks he didn't drive off a cliff.

Who are you talking about?

re: Updated: Byron Westbrook Acquitted of DUI Charges
 

Well, given the thread title, Westbrook. But the last sentence also applies to ANYONE that gets a DUI, player or just plain ol citizen.

Re: Updated: Byron Westbrook Acquitted of DUI Charges
 

Ok, so I've updated the thread title so people know that he's been acquitted of the charges
