Hunting Waskly Wabbit: Maurice Clarett's Fall from Grace

Though not an on-field incident, there was Maurice Clarett, he of (the) Ohio State fame.

He of getting bounced out of OSU fame. Clocked as slow as molasses in a pre-draft workout time in the 40. Went in the third round to the Broncos, whereupon he insisted the strength and conditioning coach be fired. The Broncos dumped Clarett after one year.

Not long after, he's arrested for armed robbery in an alley. A few precious days before his trial, he's pulled over in his car, with an armament worthy of overtaking a small nation, just two or three streets away from the home of a witness against him. He gets maced by the police, hence the Elmer Fudd look in news photos.

Here's the funniest moment: Clarrett's lawyer makes a straight-faced statement to the effect of "We don't believe he had any ill intentions"!
