Is Shawne Merriman gonna have to choke a bitch?


By no means am I misogynist or do I call women bitches, but I thought this title is hilarious referencing this infamous skit, where the normally mild-mannered Wayne Brady terrorizes Dave Chappelle and say the all too quoted line, "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?" to one of his prostitutes. Any ways, Shawne "Lights Out" Merriman is in the news again, this time it's off the field shenanigans. Tila Nguyen,better known as Teila Tequila an MTV reality-show/internet celebrity, is accusing Merriman of physically assaulting her.

Merriman was arrested early Sunday after Tequila accused him of choking and throwing her while she was at his suburban San Diego home. Tequila signed a citizen's arrest warrant accusing Merriman of battery and false imprisonment.

Merriman and his attorneys are claiming that his actions were in defense of Mrs. Nguyen, stating that he was preventing her from leaving her home because she was intoxicated. Needless to say, I don't think it would be that hard to restrain a girl who you have 177 pounds on without choking her (Nguyen: 93 lbs., Merriman: 270, enough said). This sounds like a lot of he said, she said stories with two celebrities thrown in the mix.

Merriman is generally know for his on field antics such as convulsing after every tackle or hard hit he delivers. I don't know if this is a celebration or a side effect of steroid use. Merriman missed the 2008-09 season due to a torn ligament in his knee and reconstructive surgery, he has 39.5 sacks through 3 seasons as well as reaching the Pro Bowl all 3 years.
