Clearly the indoor arena teams like the Lions, vikings, and Cowboys are having the most arrests.

We all make mistakes. Hopefully he can learn from this episode and be a better man going forward.

So, basically they didn’t check the guy out at all. 5 minutes with an internet connection and and a subscription to a public records search service would have answered their questions.

It’s beyond ridiculous for Lions players. I feel sorry for the Lions fans and am glad it’s not my team.

There was no contract negotiation, He didn’t screw the team, just himself.

It’s pretty simple. It’s not that we now have a bunch of super-knucklehead players. It’s that they have always gotten away with these things in the past. Cops would let em go because of who they are. Prior to the explosion of the social media age nobody but the cop, the player and their closest friends knew. Now the knuckleheads have started tweeting to the world about getting let off with not so much as a warning. So with the entire world knowing, the cops started getting reprimanded for letting them off. What would you do if you were a cop and you knew that if you let a player go that there is a good chance he would tweet about it and your career would now be in jeopardy? Simple, you arrest them!

How do you not know your own player got arrested?!?! Seriously?!?! If the NFL can tell if a player calls a coach during this time. You would THINK they would be able to track if they got arrested or not.

This would explain his silence when the other young knuckleheads got caught this year. What’s going on with all these arrests and stupid players?

The Lions should “forget” to give Williams vital information about when to report etc, and then fine him for missing time. That would teach him a lesson.
Williams (and his agent) blatantly withheld information that would have affected contract negotiations, so go ahead and tell me how players get screwed…

The Lions were screwed by a player and this must stop.

“Is there anything we should know about you, Corey?”.
