NFL: Merriman Arrested

According to beat writer Kevin Acee, this will be Shawne Merriman's last season with the Chargers.
Acee said this week's issue with Tila Tequila has no bearing on his status with the team. Merriman's contract is up at the end of the season and the Chargers weren't going to bring him back anyway. But Acee then speculates that Merriman could end up parting ways with the Chargers before this season is over, in part because general manager A.J. Smith is sick of dealing with Merriman's off-field issues.

The Chargers general manager has made it well known that he doesn't like the shenanigans Merriman brings with him. Every interview I've heard over the past year has made it sound like Merriman is done once his contract is up. The Chargers didn't sign Tucker to big dollars last year and draft English in the first round this year for nothing. They are planning for life after Merriman.
As much as I have tired of him, the reports coming out today sound like they support Merriman. We may never know for sure what happened, but the police said the woman was intoxicated and their was no evidence she had been harmed. They only made the arrest because they were required by law.

And I guess I should clarify, if the accusations are true then I hope Merriman is done in San Diego.
No feelings hurt. I just love it when people are so lazy as to fall back on some lame generalization about a whole group of people. I'm mean, choking hookers being non a big deal in California? That's just golden material right there.
