The days without an arrest meter needs to be set back to zero again.
And once again, an Atlanta Falcon is the one in trouble.
Falcons receiver Eric Weems was arrested on November 16 and charged with a DUI. He was out of jail the next day, and scored a touchdown against the Giants the following Sunday.
Weems’ teammate Jonathan Babineaux was arrested last week for felony marijuana possession, and was found to have lied to police repeatedly. Then he lied to the public.
The latest Falcons arrest happened a month ago, but the team apparently didn’t know until Tuesday.
“We became aware of Eric’s situation on Tuesday morning,” coach Mike
Smith said. “We don’t like these kinds of incidents and
we’re disappointed.”
UPDATE: Weems has released a statement: “Unfortunately, I was involved in an incident on November 17, 2009. I am embarrassed about the situation and I sincerely apologize to the entire Atlanta Falcons organization and our great fans.”

I don’t think you can actually reset the meter because this was a month ago. Maybe you guys should be up on things.

Well maybe if you had the STANDINGS in Turd Watch, we could see the Birds are the new Bengals, otherwise its just an endless list of dumb jocks…
The Standings was the whole point of TurdWatch.

AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwww……. Eric Weems is a pretty good kick returner, sorta like Adam Jennings but with talent…….He has apologized so we including the NFL can all forget this incident ever happened…….Eric Weems is ready to bust out on his returns & a touchdown in this next 3 games is on it’s way…….
Arthur Blank condones the turds. It will only get worse for this dirty franchise.
Oh well, at least he has an instant fanbase in that city,
They were just doing the “Dirty Bird” and got a little carried away.
In the jail cell, the tiny jail cell, a Falcon sleeps tonight.
A-weems away, a weems away…
