Shaun Rogers Speaks: "Truly Remorseful"

((HT: WOIO-TV Cleveland))

Cleveland Browns nose tackle Shaun Rogers says he didn't mean to take a handgun into an airport and apologizes to his family, his team and his fans...

In that order...

Rogers was charged Friday with a fourth-degree felony- carrying a concealed weapon- then posted bond and was released from jail.

Authorities say he carried a .45-caliber Kimber semiautomatic with eight rounds in the chamber with his carry-on luggage while attempting to board a plane at Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport.

Rogers told reporters that it was an accident and that it's "not something I would do."

He spent the night in jail after his arrest Thursday. Rogers attorney says he plans to plead not guilty...

Of course... but if Rogers didn't carry a concealed weapon, whose luggage was it and when was the gun ((not Rogers')) that was in the luggage in question...???

Even if it was his gun...

The HQ anticipates a plea deal of some description...
Here's Rogers outside the courthouse explaining his actions...

Browns Player has a Temper Tantrum

We kind of thought that the Cleveland Browns might be one of those teams that had a bit of tension around them going into week 3, and we now have that confirmed. Apparently early Friday afternoon. Someone tried to play a prank on Browns Rookie Cornerback Coye Francies. In theory, not a big issue because rookies get hazed in NFL Locker rooms all of the time. However this time, Francies was not real happy about it. So not happy about it, that he tried to take it out on the guys who emptied a Gatorade cooler...on his head.

Francies threw ice at a few guys an allegedly threw a punch at one of his teammates as well. He was restrained and escorted out of the room by the rather large Shaun Rogers. This happened during open locker room time and yes, there were lots of reporters who saw the whole thing. In the grand scheme of things, probably not a huge deal, but since like all of the beat writers and reporters were there, it is no doubt, front page news in the city by the Lake.
