NFL Player Accused of Drugging, Impregnating Woman: Denver Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox has been charged with allegedly drugging and having sex with a woman who didn't know sex had occurred until she discovered later that she was pregnant. DNA tests confirm Cox is the father. Cox, a fifth round pick in 2010, has played one season with the team. "My client suffered a sexual assault by Perrish Cox," said her attorney, Craig Silverman,. "For her, this is an intensely painful, personal and private matter."

"Cox was arrested three days before the Broncos played a game at Arizona. He was fined $15,000 for missing a practice and meetings and pulled from the starting lineup for that game. He also played in the team's final three games, with one start, but has yet to face punishment from the league."

How in the world did the Broncos allow, or were allowed by the league, to play him after the arrest? Innocent until proven guilty, I know, but the team could have sat Cox with some injury BS. Not that it matters to them I'm sure but one more boulder on the NFL's pile of stupid.

NFL players have a hard time getting dates lately? Or, is consensual sex just not that much fun for these guys?

If a guy named Perrish Cox was destined to be arrested for something, his mother might be wishing she had named him Jay Walker.
