Former Lion Charles Rogers busted for DWI

[joseephuss]

He was interviewed a few weeks ago on ESPN's Outside the Lines. He was trying to get in shape in order to try a comeback. I did not think he came across that well during the interview. He still seemed like the same immature guy he always was. A couple of days later I heard an ESPN analyst(maybe Mortenson) say they thought it was a red flag that Rogers talked about going out having some drinks. The guy already had road blocks to overcome to get reinstated into the league. This is not going to help.

Police: Ex-Detroit Lions receiver Rogers arrested for driving drunk

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (CP) – 1 hour ago

NOVI, Mich. — Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Charles Rogers has been arrested on a drunken-driving charge.

Police say the 28-year-old Rogers was arrested Wednesday afternoon after he refused a Breathalyzer test. Results of a blood test are pending.

Rogers was arraigned Thursday on charges of operating while intoxicated and operating without a valid license. He was ordered held on US$50,000 bail and didn't have a lawyer on record with the court. A pre-trial conference is set for Monday.

The second overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft served a 30-day jail sentence, with credit for 15 days, earlier this year instead of staying in an intensive counselling program after violating probation in a domestic violence case.

yea he's done. really, really sad.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I really felt like he was an amazing talent coming into the league. Freakish talent.

The only thing amazing is how he pissed away all that potential.

 

[Big Dakota]

Sounds about right.

 

[ArmyCowboy]

Looks like he's going to be joing the Lawrence Phillips/Rae Carruth/Dan Villa crew pretty soon.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

anyone remember that amazing catch he had on the sidelines while at Michigan State? I can't find it anywhere on youtube

 

[AJOHNS12]

Yeah, I saw that interview and you're right, that did not do him any justice! He's an idiot and he doesn't deserve to be in the NFL!!!

Such a waste of talent. He could be as good as any receiver in the NFL.

 

[Joe Realist]

I love the ad for local DWI attorneys after last post. LMAO

Even if he did clean up his act, he is not the athlete he was when he came into the league. The injuries he suffered early in his career really took a toll on his body. They said he ran a 4.8 forty only a couple of years after being drafted.

I agree. I was talking about when he first came in the league he had the chance to be as good as anyone.
