Browns’ Big Dawg Caged After DUI Arrest

Fans will go to all lengths to feel a connection with their sports heroes. They’ll wear jerseys, wait for autographs, get tattoos, name children after stars and much more. Somehow, I’m guessing John “Big Dawg” Thompson probably could’ve done without taking this particular slice out of Donte Stallworth’s life:↵↵⇥Thompson was arrested at 9:49 p.m. after his vehicle was seen weaving on Lorain Avenue at West 128th Street and did not have the headlights on, police said. ↵⇥↵⇥Police said he failed a field sobriety test and his Breathalyzer test was .12. The legal the legal limit is .08. ↵⇥

↵⇥↵⇥He was in Cleveland City Jail this morning.↵⇥

↵↵↵First, it’s important to note that although getting a DUI is incredibly boneheaded of Thompson, at least he managed not to kill anyone, unlike Stallworth. And second, is it the least shocking revelation of all time that someone who dresses this way might have enjoyed an extra cocktail or two in their day?↵

↵↵For what it’s worth, Thompson was part of a feature on the NFL’s biggest fans by Sporting News. (Check out the slideshow here.)↵
