Very sad if he is indeed innocent. |

NFL Network seems to be consistent with this policy. They also suspended Warren Sapp before the Super Bowl in Miami for allegedly choking out his girlfriend. Edit: All posted elsewhere. Sorry I was late to the party... SFIAH |

Re: Reports: Ex-Saint Darren Sharper arrested on rape charges
![]() The woman told police she went to a "couple" of bars, where she consumed a "large amount of alcohol" on Sunday, Sept. 23. She said she met Sharper at one of the bars and he took her back to his apartment at 701 Tchoupitoulas St around 10 a.m., according to the report. There, he had sex with her without her consent, she told police. "The victim stated she did not consent to any sexual behavior," the report says. Woman says after meeting Darren Sharper at bar, he raped her at his CBD apartment: NOPD report | NOLA.com |
One thing I learned from drinking. You should always go Christmas caroling with a group. Oh, and always in mid-December.

There's a fine distinction that cannot be discerned from the situation. It's the fact that a drunk woman is incapacitated and therefore has lost the ability to consent.![]()
In short she probably said yes and then sobered up and started asking herself "what the heck happened?" Sharper has gotten himself into a tough spot if this is how it went down. SFIAH |
Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO
Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good. |

That's fine and all but what impeccable timing to file a civil suit. I'll stick with gold digger. |

I'm not giving commentary to the woman's motives. All I'm saying is that Sharper should have known better than to be found anywhere with a drunk woman that he had never met before. That's the fast track to being broke and in prison. SFIAH |
