Shit for Brains

Two former Florida State football players have been charged with stealing electronic equipment worth approximately $1,700 from the home of a current FSU player. One of those charged, Fred Rouse, was a top wide receiver prospect who was kicked off the team last year for unspecified idiocy. So, OK, he could be hard up.

But the other criminal mastermind behind this caper, linebacker A.J. Nicholson, was selected in the 5th round of this year's NFL draft by the Cincinnati Bengals. The league minimum salary in the NFL is about $250,000 per year. This guy just threw away a job that pays a quarter mil a year -- to start -- in order to swipe two portable stereos, a DVD player and a pair of headphones. Which he would then have to split with Rouse. And he cut himself in the process. Genius.
