February has already become a bad month for the NFL.
On the heels of one of the most exciting and pulse-pounding Super Bowls ever, the league has been faced with a number of arrests that are sure to leave the folks in the NFL's publicity department reeling.
First, it was announced this morning that Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle - who had already been arrested once before in Oct. 2014 for stealing cologne and underwear - has been arrested in Wichita, KS after police responded to a domestic violence call, according to a report from KAKE.com.
"Police said a 22-year-old woman reported she and Randle were arguing in a hotel room. Officers found marijuana in the room, and arrested Randle on a drug charge."
Randle was given a court date on the misdemeanor drug charge.
Indianapolis Colts linebacker D'Qwell Jackson was arrested for assault in the Washington D.C. area for allegedly punching a pizza delivery driver in the face and head over a parking spot, according to WJLA.com.
"The 31-year-old pizza delivery employee told police he said to Jackson that he was going to use the space momentarily, but Jackson allegedly got upset and told the driver to get the "expletive" out of his parking space before punching the driver in his face and on the back of his head."
There has been no comment from the team on Jackson's arrest.
Finally, Green Bay Packers defensive tackle, Letroy Guion, was arrested for possession of marijuana in his hometown of Starke, Florida, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.
"We are aware of a serious matter involving Letroy Guion," the Packers said in a statement, according to Demovsky. "We have not yet spoken to Letroy and we will have no further comment."
These three arrests, however, are not the first for the NFL this inauspicious month.
NFL Network analyst and Hall of Fame defensive tackle Warren Sapp was arrested for soliciting a prostitute and assault in Phoenix, Ariz. shortly after the Super Bowl, while Baltimore Ravens nose tackle Terrence Cody is to be indicted by a grand jury for charges of animal cruelty involving a dog and an alligator and drug possession.
Cody was released by the team and Sapp has since been fired by the league-owned network.
