If I’m a Houston Texas taxpayer, I’m livid at where my tax dollars are being spent. Talk about frivilous litigation! An off-duty cop, playing bouncer at a club has a “little-big-man” complex and picks a fight with a pro football player. Can’t help but wonder if this would happen if the player was Matt Schaub. Well done, Houston! Losers.

The age old prosecution practice. Don’t do anything and hope it’s a lesser story when they drop the case.

Translation; “Let us stall for time will we can find and pay off someone to say he was out of control and harrassing the police?”

The expenses incurred from flying across the country, his lawyer running up billable hours, the continued bad press about drunk and disorderly and resisting arrest, and the reduced potential for any endorsement money ought to prompt him to plea bargain and put this behind him.

Does he really believe bad press is better than no press?

How else can you explain this incident combined with the “Slave” comment during the work stoppage, the after hours Burger King incident, the over 100 mph on December Minnesota roads incident, and other behaviors?

With his 8 million a year counting against the salary cap he may one day soon will find himself cut if he keeps it up.

I hear say “Don’t Mess With Texas”. Now I know why. They get confused making up their own bullsh*t!

Could they not have done that without having him fly to TX?

Houston PD is still trying to figure out how to save face and get out of this. In the meantime, a lot more Houston taxpayer dollars down the drain.

I think there are some, not most but some, police that are like, “see that guy, he’s a pro football player let’s see if we can get him arrested.”

Hardin previously has said that he hopes prosecutors will drop the charges.
