Time to reset the arrest-o-meter….
“Congradulations, you won!”
When’s the days without an arrest meeting getting reset? First Haynesworth, now Macklin, still 4 days without an arrest?
Heard of him, can’t for the life of me remember him in a Chiefs uni.
Shame, seems like a good guy.
Macklin runs a foundation named 27 Reasons (27 is his college and professional number) which aids underprivileged kids in Arizona and Virginia.
What’s up with the professional atheletes from the Newport News area. Is it in the water??
keep it up and a combine ??? may be “WHERE ARE YOU FROM?”.

I’m from Newport News, so I can answer your question. Newport News was once a great place to live until section 8 housing came along and with that, thugs and scum. Even the police are mostly scum.
What’s wrong with the pro athletes from Newport News? The same thing that’s wrong with most of the section 8 youth. Stupidity.
i concur
