Shawne Merriman apparently OD's at a club

[Guest]

Former San Diego Chargers Pro Bowl linebacker Shawne Merriman was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital Sunday night for what is being loosely described as a "medical emergency."

Details are scant, but the Los Angeles Times is reporting that Merriman overdosed on some combination of drugs and alcohol.

As Deadspin points out, Merriman has been active on Twitter this morning, about four hours after he was taken to the hospital.

According to the report in the Times, Merriman was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Sunday around 9:30 p.m. after partying at Hollywood club The Colony.

Merriman announced his retirement from the NFL in March.

All down hill for Merriman after getting busted for steroids and his breakup with Tia Tequila.

Merriman is the poster boy of why borderline athletes should take steroids. Superstar on them mediocrity off them. He added millions to his bank account for an investment of thousands.

It would have been hard for him to do the Lights Out dance after he passed out...

These two have him beat:





Without steroids, Arnold and The Rock are never Hollywood super stars and Arnold is never the governor of California.

Plenty of professional athletes have taken steroids and succeeded at their sport, few have dominated multiple arenas like Arnold and the Rock.

Who could forget that legendary moment when Arnold out deadlifted his opponent during that key political debate on education reform?

His marrying into the Kennedy family had more to do with it

Doubtful, unless you think any politician who married into the Kennedy family was going to get elected.

His persona had more to do with it. How you want to even try to argue that is beyond me and not worth my time.

Without marrying into that family he likely doesn't pursue a career in politics

Without steroids he is never famous and never marries into that family.

I win.
