I just got the WNST text about him getting arrested. First on the juice and now raging...suspend him 4 games to start the season.

Geez man. Maybe the juice caused the rage. Ah ha!! Nah I like Merriman, he's from here. What's up with all the choking lately, LOL?

It would change the Week 2 game a bit if he were on ice.

Me too, my friend!!!!

He scaresme a bit going after our boy Flak, though I think Oher and Gaither will step up to the test.

Merriman's expected defense? He was trying to stop her from driving

Posted by Mike Florio on September 6, 2009 5:48 PM ET

At some point in the not-too-distant future, look for Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman to articulate publicly his defense against the claim that he battered and falsely imprisoned Tila Tequila Nguyen early Sunday morning.

As we understand it, Merriman will indeed contend that she was intoxicated, and that he was trying to prevent her from driving in that condition, as she attempted to leave her home.

The situation raises an interesting point regarding the lengths to which someone can or should go to stop someone else from driving drunk. In this case, Merriman will claim that he did not cross the line, and the other persons who were at his home are expected to testify to that end.

So continue to stay tuned on this one. A statement of some sort is expected from Nguyen, and it's likely that Merriman will issue a public comment that articulates his defense to the charges in response to whatever she has to say about the situation.

Sounds like a little drunk drama queen chick trying to recapture the 15 minutes she had a few years ago.
