More Packers Legal News: Underwood's Case Resolved

by Brandon on Mar 29, 2011 1:00 PM CDT in Green Bay Packers Analysis

It's been a busy week for the Green Bay Packers's police blotter. First DE Johnny Jolly was reacquainted with Houston law enforcement, and CB Brandon Underwood's prostitution case was resolved with a no-contest plea.

Underwood's story was a much bigger deal last year when CB Sam Shields was off the radar, and the Packers were trying to figure out who would be the nickel back. Now I'm wondering if Underwood can even make the team in 2011. He has to prove to them this offseason that he deserves a roster spot. If he can't show that he's valuable on special teams, and he's better in pass coverage than CB Jarrett Bush, then they should move on.

His future depends a lot on the April NFL draft. If they draft a couple cornerbacks, then that's probably the end for him, but they could use him on special teams if they stand pat in the secondary. I expect he's been on the active roster too long to be eligible for the practice squad either.

Read recently...

Underwood had been moved from CB to Safety at the end of last season and the Packers are looking to have him play Safety from now on… Sounded that way at least. He along w/ Collins, Peprah, Burnett at safety that would give us good depth. Leaves us lite at CB tho…

Really?

I’ve never really thought of him as being big enough to be a safety. I mean, he has the height, but he’s kind of on the lanky side. Do you remember where you read that?

I put the team on my back!!!!!

Js or GBPG I think, not sure...

It was in season I think… He played safety at Cincinnati in college. Seems better at CB, don’t know what they have planned next year for him, but sounded permanent.

So Underwood pleaded to.....

one count of prostitution non-marital sexual intercourse

So it would have been ok if the prostitute was his wife?
Or, its ok to pay your wife for sex but not someone else?

Woman: “Hey baby, you lookin’ for a good time?”
Man: “Always looking for a good time. How much?”
W: “Depends what you… wait, Sweetie, is that you?”
M: “Holy crap! What the… what, are you turning tricks now? I should’ve known.”
W: “Well, how about you, you big hypocrite? How long have you been getting whores?!”
M: “Longer than I knew, apparently.”
W: “Oh, I don’t have to listen to this!”

Pimp: “Hey, you gonna’ buy something or are you gonna’ tie up my merchandise? Time is money buddy, and you’re gonna’ pay for takin’ my girl’s time like this.”
M: " ‘Your girl?’ …this’s my wife!"
P: “I don’t care if she’s your kindergarten teacher. You gonna’ pay up or not?”
M: “Let me get this straight… I’m going to pay you and you’re going to let me be with my wife?”
P: “Yep. C-note gets you the whole night.”
M: “Um… well, I guess I could… if that’s all right with you, honey.”
W: “Well, I suppose, I mean, if you WANT to…”
