879...Windsor Ontario Window On Weird

Weird being Detroit.

Seriously, Detroit is a lot like Montreal in this respect. It is a city where the unthinkable happens on a regular basis.

Former mayor of Detroit Kwame Kirkpatrick comes to mind.

This week's weird comes from former Detroit Lions' running back Charles Rogers. He started his week by getting sued for 6.1 million by his former employers who want their bonus money back coz Mr. Rogers, a huge college star up the road at Michigan State, winner of the Fred Biletnikoff Trophy as best receiver in the country who was drafted second overall in 2003, sucked horribly as a professional football player, in part because he was high much of his short career. High enough to get suspended by the NFL three times for using recreational drugs.

Mr. Rogers mid week crisis happened at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon
when he was found by the suburban Novi, Michigan police passed out at the wheel of his in gear Benz. By the way, he was in the middle of making a left hand turn when he passed out.

He refused a breathalyser so the police took blood and this morning Drew and Mike on WRIF report that his blood alcohol content was .114.

You thought you had a bad week.
