A Deadspin story, the language is NSFW.


Unfortunately for Denney, his night did not end there. He called a friend to come pick him up, but a few hours later police spotted him getting into his truck and driving it out of a parking lot. When he was pulled over once again, he tried the big-timer routine on the cops:

According to police, Denney said "he was a Boston Red Sox player and he didn't care [sic] he had money and made more money than we would ever see." When handcuffed, the report said, Denney said "he would be out in no time because of who he played for and that he made three million a year."


:laugh:




*Likely not the real reason he fell in the draft, just proof that some people do really stupid things. Especially when they are drunk.

Yeah, I was assuming he slipped in the draft because he was in his sixties.

Good thing he wasn't drafted for brains...he'd still be a free agent
