DALLAS - A former Dallas Cowboys player, a current Indianapolis Colts player and a TCU player were arrested early Sunday morning at a downtown Dallas club. They have been identified as former Cowboys linebacker Stephen Hodge, Colts defensive end Jerry Hughes and TCU defensive tackle Cory Grant. The three athletes were taken into custody at The Bank nightclub, 1313 Main Street, for public intoxication at around 2:30 a.m.
Police say officers working nearby noticed a disturbance in the nearby nightclub and saw it continue outside on the sidewalk. The men were taken to the City Detention Center.
All three players attended Texas Christian University. Sunday [was] Hodge's 24th birthday. Hughes was drafted by the Colts in the first round of the NFL draft in 2010. Hodge was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 2009 but was injured his first two seasons and released by the team last November. He never appeared in a game. Grant is a senior at TCU who started all 13 games for the Horned Frogs last season and was named Second-team All-Mountain West Conference for the second year.
Can you believe these knuckleheads over at the Dallas Police Department? I mean, is this the type of amateurism we can expect in a post-Kunkle regime? This great city used to treat it's stars like stars, with the respect, dignity, and public intoxication dismissals one would expect. If you're a pro athlete / local college star and you can't get pounded and create a little disturbance at a Dallas ultra-lounge, what the hell is the point of putting in all those long hours in the weight room, listening to Patterson's bitching, and slaying TCU blondes?
