Brian Williams Will Let You Have Sex With His Girlfriend

After getting pulled over by police for driving erratically in 2006, Jacksonville Jaguars defensive back Brian Williams used a rather unique method to try and convince the police officer to let him go. Indeed, rather than apologizing for his poor driving or telling the officer that he’d start being more cautious on the roads, Williams offered Officer E.E. Bridges the opportunity to have sex with his girlfriend if the officer would spare him from a DUI arrest:

Jaguars defensive back Brian Williams went off on a sexual, racist and profane rant aimed at Jacksonville police during his 2006 drunken driving arrest, according to recently obtained documents from his ongoing prosecution.

Notes taken by Officer E.E. Bridges shortly after the arrest reflect Williams profanely threatening sex acts with the officer’s wife and daughter and later called Bridges, who is white, a “honky” coupled with a sexual epithet. Williams, who is black, also said the officer arrested him because he was jealous of his date and that Williams was “an [n-word]” in a Bentley, according to the officer’s notes.

“Almost every other rant was racial,” Bridges wrote in the handwritten report. “Loud and yelling throughout ride to jail.”

Williams also offered to let Bridges have sex with his date “if you let me go,” according to the officer’s notes.

Well, that’s certainly an inventive way to get out of a DUI (what an inspirational display of generosity!), although it didn’t seem to be terribly effective for Williams — he was arrested and pleaded guilty to charges. After receiving a six-month probation sentence and suspended license, he recently withdrew this plea, and will now face a retrial for the incident.

My question: Why didn’t this story get the attention that Matt Leinart’s recent off-field shenanigans did? A picture of Leinart holding a beer bong while a female drank from the opposite end got TONS of attention from the mainstream media, but this Williams story barely made a blip on the radar. I realize that Leinart is a helluva lot more famous than Williams, so any “controversy” surrounding him will thus attract more attention. But still, isn’t it a little weird that a story involving an NFL player’s drunken driving, racial slurs, and various sexual offers/threats didn’t receive more interest from the media?

You know what, though? There’s a bright side to every story. And in this case, we can be happy that Jerry Jones just found the perfect new defensive back to pursue for his squad.
