While not quite the irascible animated cowboy, Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Shaun Rogers was loaded for bear as he got arrested at Cleveland's Hopkins International Airport yesterday for having a gun in his carry-on bag.
This has to be the worst April Fool's joke ever. It HAS to be a joke. Having a gun in your carry on luggage was illegal at least 20 years ago! Everyone with a functioning brain has the common-sense to know that going through airport security with as much as a razor-blade and a barber's razor, in a post Sept. 11th world, is going to be a problem... let alone a LOADED .45 handgun.
So you see, Roger's actions are so preposterous it all was supposed to be funny. No dumb-ass would walk up to airport security with a LOADED .45, and expect to not be troubled. Let alone a fellow with a multi-million dollar contract, bills, etc. Oh, and a large black man at that.
Therefore this has to be a joke.
Not funny Mr. Rogers. "Mr. Rogers." How are we now noticing that this far into today's run?
Let's assume, if only for a moment, that Rogers was not pulling a prank yesterday. Then we should wait to hear his side of the story. After all, who knows what kind of neighborhoods he had to navigate in order to reach the airport. We are talking about Cleveland ya know; it's Chester, PA with more people.
