Raiders' Louis Murphy arrested with unauthorized Viagra

Players don't seem to know how to handle themselves during an NFL lockout.

Oakland Raider's wide receiver Louis Murphy was arrested Sunday for carrying a bottle of unauthorized Viagra. Police in Gainesville, Fla. attempted to pull Murphy over after hearing blaring music from his car. Murphy decided not to pull over and then resisted arrest when they tried to detain him.

Murphy allowed the police to search his vehicle and in there they found a bottle of Viagra with the label torn off because, get this, “because he did not want his girlfriend to know he had a prescription for it,” officer Thomas Harrison said.

This is yet another Oakland Raider to be arrested this off-season (RB Michael Bush was another) and yet another player. It's also one of the most unique arrests I've ever heard coming from a player in the NFL. He was arrested for possession of Viagra without a valid prescription along with resisting arrest.

I feel like there are a bunch of jokes that could be made here, but I think the story alone pretty much speaks for itself.

    He's an NFL player and he needs boner medicine ? And he drove around with it ?

    Several years ago, when I found out the games were fixed, I lost respect for the NFL.

    Sure, I enjoy sports (ok, maybe not quite as much as the spectator+ sport we're all into!) but while I'm not a big-guy, & 60 yr. old, my little guy doesn't need a Viagra to get his attention!

    He probably needs the viagra because he is taking other performance enhancing supplements.

    Agreed willyo! So, to rephrase Dudester's question, "he's an NFL player and THEREFORE needs boner medicine!"

    Now as to why he drove around with it ...
