Terrible and concerning news
Bad stuff. Would say we’re cursed but this is sadly quite common.
After a year of “Wow, character concerns were the only reason he fell to 26” it finally bites us in the ass. God damnit.

Less than ideal. Matt Ryan’s first test of culture.
It really is so frustrating to see things like this from people who have everything to lose 😕

WPLG Local Ten:
DORAL, Fla. — NFL star linebacker James Pearce Jr. was arrested Saturday after fleeing a domestic dispute and crashing his vehicle during a police chase, according to Doral Police Chief Edwin Lopez.
Officers were initially dispatched to DPD headquarters for a reported dispute between a male and female.
Police said Pearce, 23, fled the scene and later crashed at Northwest 103rd Avenue and 66th Street before being placed in handcuffs.
Lopez confirmed with Local 10 News that the woman in the dispute was WNBA star Rickea Jackson.
Jail records show Pearce is facing charges two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and one count each of aggravated stalking and fleeing or eluding police with lights or siren.
Pearce was booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, with his bond yet to be set.
He was picked in the first round by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2025 NFL Draft, and the runner-up for Defensive rookie of the year.
Pearce had 10.5 sacks during his rookie year, the most by a Falcons rookie since Micah Parsons (Dallas Cowboys) in 2021.
Local 10 News has requested his arrest report from DPD, and no other information was immediately released.
What an idiot. Will never get why these guys have a 1% chance and actually make it then proceed to do this
Always blows my mind how guys who should be set for life can do shit like this to ruin it for themselves.
Aldon smith reincarnated unfortunately
WE LITERALLY JUST GOT A PASS RUSH MAN WTF
Went to high school with the guy…this doesn’t surprise me
Didn’t Tyreek Hill beat his girlfriend and threatened her kid or something?
