Time Out - McMichael In (The slammer that is)

A brief Time Out from our Fantasy Football scoring analysis to report on yet another member of the NFL (National Felons League) arrested for allegedly (Miami fans, that means: "They think he done it but they ain't proved it yet.") hitting his wife.

Dolphins TE Randy McMichael supposedly gave his 22-year-old wife a bloody nose earlier this month. Mrs. M. has indicated that the contact happened accidentally while McMichael was throwing some of her personal belongings out of the car.

According to four witnesses, McMichael's efforts to clean out the car also included throwing Mrs. McMichael out of the vehicle. In fact, one witness stated that McMichael threw her away from the car "several times".

Opinion:

Will somebody please get the season started so that these brainless (despite having allegedly [there's that word again Miami Fans] attended college) hulks can find someone else to beat up. One of our headlines after the Super Bowl last February (after another NFL player was arrested for roughing up his wife) read "When you can't hit the guys any more...". It is just as valid now as it was then.

It takes a big man to hit a woman doesn't it Randy? If you really did do this, you should ask yourself "Who's next?" Here, I'll give you a little help. Go down to the orphanage or perhaps to the local senior citizens home. There you can find lots of helpless people, kids, old ladies in wheelchairs, and so on. They're about as able to defend themselves against an NFL player as someone like, oh say, maybe your wife.

Reports are that alcohol was involved (isn't it always). If the charges are proven to be correct, one thing is certain. McMichael won't miss a single game because of this and...Miami fans, so desperate for a winning season, won't care.

Oh, one more thing. This is the second time McMichael has been arrested for hitting his wife. The other? 13 months ago when he was initially charged with aggravated battery on a pregnant woman. Still think those old ladies in the wheelchairs are safe?
