Lions' assistant coach arrested for driving in the buff, among other things.: Giving the term "naked bootleg" a whole new meaning, Detroit Lions' assistant coach Joe Cullen has been arrested twice in the past two weeks, once for "driving on a public street without any clothes on."

What is it about the NFC North? I know we live in the frozen north, and summer is but a glimmer of time each year, but first "Love Boat" and now this, perhaps the "Norris" Division should be changed to the "NoRis(que)" Division.

Maybe he was trying to get climatized for those games in Green Bay and Chicago?

I'm sensing a little NFL hypocrisy here. If this were a player, a private treatment program would hardly be the only punishment he would be facing.

It's against the law to drive naked!?! Damn, I'd better cut it out.

The least he could've done was strap a sock on his johnson like Flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Then he could've just said that it was a fashion statement.

Where is this treatment center for nude drivers you speak of? It's called rehab. Some folks can't handle their liquor.

If you want to be invited to Fred Smoot's next party, you should ask first, Joe - then you can practice.

So when will they start drug testing the coaches?

So when will they start drug testing the coaches? Matt Millen ought to thank his lucky stars that they haven't started testing on GM's, because he must be doing some kind of drugs with the personnel moves he makes (and no I don't have a scientific study to back that up).

Um...He was trying to symbolize the rebirth of the Detroit Lions franchise...getting nekked like a newborn baby...um...yeah...

Detroit Lions assistant coach Joe Cullen has encountered legal trouble for, among other things, allegedly driving without clothes. One more reason not to play for the Detroit Lions.... but i'm sure the team was fired up after that one...

How irresponsible of Cullen. Some coaches just don't understand that whether they want to be or not, they are role models for their players and they set the standards for the players behavior. Cullen has to realize how stupid and objectionable his antics are, I mean come on man, ordering fried french fries and a hamburger during the season! That sort of eating habit belongs in the off-season. I bet his drink wasn't even diet!

Seriously, how, at the next meeting of the defensive line that he presides over, can the players not practically bust a gut laughing?
posted by mjkredliner at 11:15 AM on September 08, 2006
Forget the D-line, how about anyone in the entire free world. The next time Cullen is done being intimate with his girlfriend/boyfriend and he asks her/him," Was it good for you?" how can she/he not respond by saying "You should have biggie sized it". He should quit now and move to Nepal and save himself a lifetime worth of grief.

A message to Joe Cullen, paraphrasing Dean Wormer: "Fat, Drunk and Naked is no way to go through life, son". ps. FIRE MILLEN!
