Just in case you’re wondering, I picked this article about a recently arrested NFL athlete over the more popular Mike Vrabel incident, as I found this one to be…well, funnier.

Oakland Raiders Louis Murphy refused to present identification and demanded to know why he was asked to pull over by police early Sunday morning.

Gainesville Police Officer Thomas Harrison said the Raiders receiver continued to refuse to show his ID, so he then attempted to place Murphy in handcuffs. It took three officers to put the 6’2″, 182 pound NFL player into custody, after he refused to put his hands behind his back. Officers then searched Louis Murphy’s Cadillac Escalade and found a “non-labeled prescription bottle containing 11 individual pills later to be identified as Viagra.” Murphy could not provide a prescription for it, and allegedly told the officer that he had peeled the label off of the bottle “because he did not want his girlfriend to know he had a prescription for it.”

First off, how about racial profiling? Murphy was later told he was pulled over for loud music, what a load of crap. But then to get arrested for boner pills? C’mon man. And when I say “C’mon Man” I mean it goes for the cop too.

Second, you need boner pills at 23 years old? Dude, I’m not going to ask why you are so ripped and yet your junk doesn’t work, but maybe it shouldn’t be such a big secret. Thirdly, it might have been better to keep the label on the bottle, that way you’re not driving around in an Escalade with a vial full of mysterious blue pills.

Lastly, why arrest the guy? He is obviously embarrassed. Like anybody wants to take a bunch of Viagra and then go wrestle the cops. Nevertheless, the lesson here is if you are likely to get pulled over by cops, and your junk doesn’t work, either have all your pills accounted for, or switch to a dick-pump!
