PFT: Dallas one of five teams not listed on their Turd Watch

[WoodysGirl]

AND THEN THERE WERE FIVE

We've updated the Turd Watch standings to reflect two arrests in less than a week. And we noticed that, with the apprehension of Texans lineman Chester Pitts on charges of felony evading, there are only five teams that have yet to experience an arrest or guilty plea since we started Year One of the Turd Watch game on the Monday after Super Bowl XLI.

In the AFC, the only team that has yet to suffer such an indignity is the Patriots.

In the NFC, the Cowboys, Giants, Eagles, and Lions are clean, to date.
Is there a correlation between the absence of alleged crime and success on the field? The five teams with goose eggs in Turd Watch are a combined 42-18. That's a winning percentage of 70.​

Right, because spygate never happened.

So I guess coaches are not apart of the team?

The turd watch only tracks people who were arrested for law violations. Neither Bellicheat nor Wade Wilson faced criminal charges for what they did. Coaches, owners, players, training staff etc. count against the team on the Turd Watch if arrested.

I was referring to the lions coach that got arrested for going through a fast food's drive thru nude!

That was last season.

I guess that's why Jon Kitna did that on Halloween...coincidentally, the Lions are 1-4 since that time.

TURD WATCH OFFICIAL RULES

Everyone in the organization is eligible. Players, coaches, owners, front-office employees, etc. If the person works for the team and is arrested, the points will be assigned. The term "players" includes players on the roster, the practice squad, and any of the various "reserve" lists (with the exception of "reserve-retired"). The scoring system is simple. Seven points for a felony arrest. Three points for a misdemeanor arrest. One point for a conviction. If there are multiple charges, the points will stack, too.

For the purposes of the Turd Watch scoring, a conviction includes a guilty plea, a plea of no contest, and the entry into a diversion program.

not sure why the Lions coach wasn't recorded on this list....from the rules, it sounds like he should have

They didn't start counting until after last year's Super Bowl. Wasn't his arrest for what he did August 2006?
