Like this week hasn't been bad enough for sports already. It is being reported that on June 20, 2006, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jabar Gaffney was busted for unlawful possession of a weapon in New Jersey. This arrest occurred after a handgun was found in the glove compartment of Gaffney's vheicle.
Gaffney, who just signed with the Eagles this offseason after spending time with the Houston Texans, may have simply been getting use to life in the Philadelphia area. For example, the City of Philadelphia already has seen 226 murders this year. The murder rate has icnreased by roughly seven percent this year as to compared to 2005. Maybe ole Gaffney wanted some protection, since he also knows that Eagles fans are very angry. First, the anger stems from last year's debacle of a season. Second, the fact that the Eagles only brought in Gaffney to replace Terrell Owens is stirring the anger pot.
The good news here is that Gaffney is not a member of the Cincinnati Bengals! The bad news here is that Gaffney is a member of the Eagles, and this team, of all teams in the NFL, DOES NOT need distractions in training camp this year.
So as Eagles fans question whether this is the beginning of the end of another season, the rest of you should start humming the song Bad Boys, for yet another athlete has gone to the slammer this summer.

..what? I'm sorry, as bad as the Eagles are going to be next season, I don't think their fans are cold-blooded killers.
