Charles Rogers is Smart

Former Detroit Lion and current Village Idiot Charles Rogers will be back in court soon after passing out in a Mexican restaurant in Novi after drinking too much. This is of course a violation of Charles' probation and if convicted, he will most likely face jail time.

This was a particularly great decision by Charles considering a few months earlier he was found by the Novi Fire Department passed out in his car with the engine running. Rogers failed sobriety tests and was arrested on suspicion of operating a vehicle while impaired and driving without a valid license.

Charles Rogers, Weed & Pain Killers, Oh My!

If you ever wondered how former Lions #2 overall pick Charles Rogers turned out to be such a bust, Jemelle Hill of ESPN got the answer from him: Construda. Construda AY-DAY.

In the sneak peek of the interview released by ESPN, Rogers tells Hill he smoked marijuana on a daily basis, then became addicted to painkillers after breaking his collarbone twice, in 2003 and 2004. Wow, weed AND painkillers? Just call him Ricky Favre.

In 2005, Rogers flunked his third drug test with the NFL, and was obligated to return $10 million of his $14.2 million signing bonus to the Lions. Rogers was cut by the Lions in 2006 and never played in the NFL again, going to jail last December for violating probation stemming from a domestic violence arrest. Watch this interview even casually, and it would appear as though Rogers is STILL baked.

Charles Rogers to CFL?

Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Charles Rogers might be headed to a football training camp soon... the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League.

According to Montreal general manager Jim Popp "there's about an 80-20 chance of him being at training camp, coming in and competing for a job,"... "It's not completed yet, but he can come in as a CFL rookie and we'll make an assessment of him, where he's at in his career and his life."

Rogers, after being released by the Lions in 2006, worked out for a few NFL teams, but was never signed.
