NFL Turd Watch

NFL Turd Watch – An excellent feature of the website ProFootballTalk.com is the Turd Watch which tracks arrests and convictions of NFL players, coaches, and front office employees.

The NFL Turd Watch tracks all types of criminal activity by team and season by season usings a points system, with each new season starting right after the Super Bowl.

Thw NFL teams with the most “turds” last season were the Denver Broncos with 31 points and the Detroit Lions with 30.

According to ProFootballTalk.com, point scoring is tabulated like this:

The scoring system is simple. Seven points for a felony arrest, and seven for a conviction. Three points for a misdemeanor arrest, and three more for a conviction. If there are multiple charges, the points will stack.

For the purposes of the Turd Watch III scoring, a conviction includes a guilty plea, a plea of no contest, and the entry into a diversion program.

However, if the team cuts the player (or fires the employee) within seven days after an arrest, the points will be removed.

The website also provides a running list of all arrests involving NFL teams so you can track your favorite overpaid miscreants. Definitely worth checking out for any pro football fan.

And that’s the latest news on the NFL Turd Watch.
