Sometimes you just can't make this stuff up:

MIAMI -- Green Bay Packers fullback Najeh Davenport was arrested Monday, accused of breaking into a university dormitory and defecating in a woman's closet. ...

(No truth to the rumor he'll be traded to Cleveland).

Why on earth would ANYONE do that? Yeah, she's probably a bitch, but shitting on a woman's shoes is like pissing on a guy's stereo system!

My favorite quote is from Davenport’s attorney, Richard Sharpstein: "The truth will come out in the wash."

So when exactly are my Vikes signing this one???

Ironically enough as it is I actually went to high school with Najeh. We graduated together in 1997 from Miami Central Senior High and had classes together. We weren't bosom buddies but we were friends that spoke and conversated in passing. We also had mutual friends. When I first heard the story on the local news Monday night I was shocked to say the least. He wasn't one of those dumb jocks, he was actually smart and took honor and AP classes with me. I'm not saying that it didn't happen because we all know that athletes do stupid things at times, but this is very much not like him. Taking a crap into a laundry basket in the closet of someone you don't know on a college campus clear across the county from yours? That definitely nominates him for a membership in "Da Kid's Moron Van" (similar to Jim Rome's Celebrity Drunk Bus). What's next, breaking into someone's kitchen and ejaculating into the frying pan? You have got to be kidding me!!

Da Kid.
