NFLer asks cops to ‘take a s–t,’ gets arrested for DUI, loses job

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins was arrested Friday morning on suspicion of driving while under the influence — and was promptly cut by the team later in the day.

According to a release from the Florida Highway Patrol, a trooper was traveling in his cruiser when he saw Seferian-Jenkins enter southbound Interstate 275 going between 75 and 80 miles per hour. The release says the football player’s vehicle then cut off the trooper’s cruiser and began weaving back and forth.

Dashcam footage of the traffic stop, published by TMZ, shows officers talking to Seferian-Jenkins as if they are going to let him off with a warning — before he begins conversing with them in slurred speech.

“I just want to go home to my quarterback’s house, where we’re meeting, about to watch ‘American Horror Story,’ Episode 2,” Seferian-Jenkins said, perhaps revealing a late-night TV sesh at Jameis Winston’s place.

The same is true for star players compared to the fringe players. Especially when it comes to "team rules".

And that's beyond the other things that he admits he did.
