Do You Know Who I Am? - Legedu Naanee

This Photo Released By Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Shows San Diego Union -Tribune:  Chargers wide receiverLegedu Naanee was arrested in Indianapolis early Saturday and charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest, a run-in that likely sealed his fate with the team that drafted him in 2007.
According to police, Naanee came across an active crime scene at about 3:20 a.m. and was told he would have to turn around or go in another direction. Naanee, who according to police had a “strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on or about his breath or person,” asked the officer why he was being “such an (expletive).”
The police officer said after several attempts to get Naanee to leave the scene failed, he told Naanee he was under arrest. Naanee “actively began to pull away” and the officer used pepper spray but Naanee continued to resist.
Eventually he was handcuffed and as he was being walked to the police car, Naanee said, according to police, “Do you know who I am? I am an NFL player and I’m going to sue your ass.

An unfortunate triple-whammy for Legedu Naanee.  His WIA resulted in being arrested, pepper sprayed, and likely cut from his team.  Without a job, I'm not sure many people will know who he is.

Do You Know Who I Am? - Miguel Cabrera

Miguel Cabrera (MUG SHOT): Tigers Slugger Arrested for DUI(CBS/AP) Miguel Cabrera was arrested in Florida on suspicion of drunk driving, and police have released a mug shot featuring a smiling Cabrera.
According to the police, a St. Lucie County sheriff's deputy arrested the 27-year-old Wednesday night shortly after 11:00 p.m. Cabrera's car was on the side of the road with smoke coming from the engine of his vehicle.
Police said the Tigers slugger smelled of alcohol, was slurring his speech and took a swig from a bottle of Scotch in front of a deputy. According to the report, Cabrera's attitude was cocky, combative, argumentative and belligerent. His eyes were said to be bloodshot, watery and glassy and his face was flushed.
Police said Cabrera repeatedly refused to cooperate, saying, "Do you know who I am? You don't know anything about my problems."

"Cocky, combative, argumentative and belligerent."  I can't think of four better words to kick-off this blog with.  They really say it all.  What better way to be when interacting with someone who is about to throw you in jail.  And yet, WIA is still a the top of the list as a go-to line.
