During training camp, NFL players are rarely arrested, as players just have too much to do to have any time to get into trouble off the field.
But Vikings players had the day off Sunday, and quarterback Rhett Bomar took the time to get himself arrested.
Bomar was arrested early Sunday morning in Mankato, where the Vikings have camp, for third-degree drunken driving. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Bomar was taken to Blue Earth County Jail early Sunday and was released by Sunday evening.
The 26-year-old Bomar, whom the Vikings acquired from the Giants’ practice squad in December, was a long shot to make the roster even before he was arrested. He’s fourth on the quarterback depth chart behind Donovan McNabb, Christian Ponder and Joe Webb.
Bomar was Oklahoma’s starting quarterback in 2005 but was kicked off the team in 2006 for violating NCAA rules. He transferred to Sam Houston State, finished his college career there, and was drafted by the Giants in the fifth round of the 2009 NFL draft.
I still don’t see how he got in the NFL. He benched well and that’s about it. If he ever had any hope of playing it is now lost. You are a waste of breath and life. 6 rings. Follow the leader. Thanks for playing.
If I was a Viking, I’d drink heavily, too. I’d like to think I’d have enough common sense to take a cab home.
Who gets arrested for DWI during TRAINING CAMP? How is that even possible? Congrats, Rhett Bomar, people will know who you are after all.
Bryant McKinnie tweeted it best, “It’s been fun.”
Maybe he was drinking because he finally realized he had no shot of making the team…
Was Donovan buying him drinks, you know, just to be friendly and such?
Such a classless organization, what a joke. Oh wait, this article isn’t about the steelers.
Meh, he was out of a job anyway. This just speeds up his release.
Johnny Camparm got a DUI? Say it ain’t so!
Barely a splash on the radar screen for the Love Boat Vikings…
Such a waste
That is the 4th viking arrest this year of a player under contract.
Even when this site ran Turd Watch the vikings couldn’t win that (2nd place in Turd Watch points).
There’s always room on the bengals for you bomar
Kicked out of Oklahoma
DUI in Training camp.
Meth or some kind of white trash drug bust in the future.
Mike Brown just tweeted “sounds like a perfect replacement for Jordan Palmer”.
At least Koren Robinson wasn’t driving…
Todd Marinovich doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about….
What was your favorite Rhett Bomar moment?
hah 3rd degree drunk driver. That has got to trump being a 9th degree black belt. I mean, who wins head to head? My money’s on the drunk. Aint feelin’ no pain and don’t know when to quit.
once sooner trash, always sooner trash…was he driving his free ride from Big Red still?
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Bomar was taken to Blue Earth County Jail early Sunday and was released by Sunday evening.

That isn’t the only time he’ll be released this week.
Nice looking young man. I can easily see a McDonalds Asst Manager name tag on him in the future.
Does anyone know if Ray Rice tweeted about this? Or was my suspicion correct: he only cared before because it was someone from the Steelers.
another meaningless headline trying to smear the Vikings franchise, never had a chance to make roster yet you want to label him a Viking b4 final roster is done.
He just looks like a little punk.
Hope you enjoyed your time in the NFL… Bu-Bye.
whats up with all the judging??? what skeletons are you hiding in your closet?

I think it was when someone called into Dan Barreiro’s show a few months ago asking if he thought Rhett Bomar had a chance to be the starting quarterback, and Barreiro had never heard of him.

Good advice, cuz this year’s version of the vikes is going to be as much fun to watch as last year’s, and the final game of the year prior….
Damn I spoke too soon on the 14 days without an arrest. I couldnt believe it lasted that long.
Fat drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
Hope you had fun in the NFL while it lasted “Budweiser” Bomar.

Youre a packer fan, why would you watch A viking game, let alone all of them?
I was in error thinking that you were jimicos/ACS.
It makes so much more sense now. I was thinking he had slipped on his posting ability.
You’ve been a turd ever since you started posting on here. At least your consistently moronic. You have that going for you, which is nice.
With that, the Vikings training camp is officially underway.

…or maybe he thought the more “shots” he had the better shot he’d have of making the team! Either way, FAIL!!
