Didn't I hear he was in on one of the drug and rape situations his brother recently did?
Maybe he was bad after all ...
Darren Sharper and his brother, Jamie, were investigated for sexual misconduct in Miami Beach in 2011, according to a police report detailing allegations made by two women.
The case led to no charges, after a doctor's examination found no evidence of sexual battery, the document say.
But police released the report Thursday, as it confirmed that Darren Sharper is now the subject of a new sexual battery investigation in Miami Beach. The revelation raises to eight the number of ongoing investigations of sexual crimes in recent months involving the former New Orleans Saints star safety.
Miami Beach Police Detective Vivian Hernandez confirmed that police has opened a criminal probe involving Sharper. The investigation was prompted by a complaint made earlier this year, Hernandez said, but she said the department could not release any details because the investigation is ongoing.
The previous investigation of Sharper in Miami Beach was prompted by a March 18, 2011, incident involving two Georgia women who were in Miami on spring break, according to the report from that 2011 probe.
The report said the women had gone to Sharper's condo, where other men were also present, and fallen asleep on a couch. One of the women said she woke up around 6 a.m. to find either Sharper or his brother, Jamie, "behaving inappropriately by exposing his penis and attempting to bring it close to her face," the police report said.
The woman told the man to leave her alone, and the man did, the police narrative said. The woman told police she then fell asleep again and woke up shortly after to find the same man, either Darren or Jamie Sharper, "attempting to lift her dress."
At this point the woman awoke the other Georgia woman and they both noticed their underwear has been removed while they were asleep, the report said.
The Georgia women were taken to a rape treatment center, but a doctor's examination found no evidence of sexual battery, so the case was closed, according to the report.
Authorities say Sharper is a resident of Miami Beach.
Sharper is to be arraigned Thursday (Feb. 20) in Los Angeles on rape and drug charges involving two women in separate incidents. He's also under investigation in five other alleged rapes, including one in New Orleans, two in Arizona and two in Nevada.
Sharper's attorney in New Orleans has said her client did nothing wrong. His attorney in California has said Sharper will be exonerated of the charges there. Jamie Sharper could not be reached for comment.
I'm not all that concerned about how many are going out the door but why is there such a market for Texans defenders? Particularly guys that we're making no effort to keep?
I feel so bad for AJ we are in full rebuilding mode. If McNair thought we were retooling and contending he's wrong. We got a lot of holes to fill let alone improve at most positions.
If the coaching was so bad, maybe we don't need a whole new roster.

That's why I keep saying (And constantly get flamed for it) trade Dre now while he has some value.
And you deserve to get flamed for it.
Why? He deserves to play on a contender.
He deserves the contract he agreed to, there is no indication he wants to leave and the Texans will receive nothing near his value in trade. It makes zero sense.

He is on the wrong side of 30 and his contract just escalates going forward. Trade him now, appreciate what he gave and move on.
Its the circle of life Simba.

nucking futs
Yeah, that's the one way these little signings of dudes we don't give spit about do help assuming you care about getting a 7th round pick in 2015. My unofficial count for the Texans is 4 (Ninja I know not done yet, Sharpton, mays, Mitchell).
Browns sign Ben Tate.
Well the count is up to five.
May be Owen and Wade next....
Owen wouldn't count toward comp picks either.
As of this moment, Houston & St. Louis are the only two teams in the entire NFL that have not added even one player in free agency! I sure hope something happens next week. With no updates or communications from the front office, I'm starting to lose some of the excitement about the new regime.
Yea, yea, I know, I need to be patient. After all, we're only 35 days into free agency.
They are doing the right thing by not spending on this years FA's. They aren't close , have no QB and are in cap hell. Might as well take your lumps in year 1 clearing the cap while getting your new coach and QB some on the job training.
I don't expect any significant FA signings this season .... maybe a couple bargain guys like Joe Mays was last season. Capable NFL talent on the cheap.
I agree they shouldn't (and didn't have the money) have gone hog wild, but there were several very good RT's available. Even though the better ones would've cost a little more, they were in their 20's & O'Linemen can typically play at a high level into their mid thirties. That would've made signing a RT a good investment. No matter who we put at QB, they won't succeed if they can't stay upright.

That's how bad we suck. 7 of our FAs snatched up in the frenzy of the first wave of activity.
It's because of our crappy GM getting crappy players that crappy teams steal away with crappy money. We didn't have this problem with Casserly.

I'm hoping there is a missing sarcasm smilie for this post.
I figured the Casserly part made it obvious.
I caught that and figured that's how you meant it.........but that little bit of doubt left meI figured the Casserly part made it obvious.

Not 1 above avg player in the bunch. Several below avg guys who may or nay not make it out of TC.

Well you've collected a flock with your hyperbole. Smith, Mitchell and Tate are headed off to be starters. Smith and Mitchell are also both above average. Tate I would agree is average as a starter. In comparison to all the RBs in the NFL he is well above average.

You've got to remember that Steelb is gonna be filled with hate as long as McNair owns the Texans...
Wrong,
I don't hate the owner. I just question his will to win over his will to make $$$$. This is shown by the lack of accountability. Why should anybody be held accountable when the owner keeps cashing those checks?
Obviously 3, 1-1's in 11 yrs should make fans question the owners leadership and the direction the franchise is headed.
That only seems reasonable to me. To you I'm a hater.

Really, Smith is 32 yrs old and I can nae you 20 DE's I would take over him off of the top of my head.
Mitchell wasn't even a good NT. Did you take a look at PFF's stats on avg gain running between the tackles?
Ever wonder why Cushing struggles with injuries? Could it be that Mitchell cant keep OL off of Cushings knees?
Tate has the ability to be great, but he's.
1. Injury prone
2. Isn't good at catching the ball out of the backfield.
3. A fumbler
I hope Tate does well and he could be a steal for the Browns.

The most impressive part was that Mitchell managed to do this while not even being on the field for either play. Get that guy as far away from Houston as you can or Cushing may never play another down!

I don't think you're a hater, that's why I put up the
I do think you don't look at things objectively. Not many franchises have been to the SB in the first 12 years of their existence. I think Bob McNair is trying his best to provide this city with a winner. One that will win multiple super bowls. He's also having to learn. Thinking that he is in it only for the dollars is ludicrous. He wants to win as bad as you do. Unfortunately on the advice of people he trusted he made a bad decision on the two GM's he's hired. He did stick with both for too long, but turning them over too fast would be even worse. He's a hell of a lot better owner than Bud was
But you can keep on with your negativity, keeps things lively on here
