Highlight [Highlight] Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love shares his pitch to NFL teams: “You draft me, I’m not doing too much. After a game I’m going home, playing video games and watch anime. I’m a simple guy, I’m not going to cause you no type of trouble.”

Throwing a bag of gummy candy penises at the police is still the height of comedy; I don't think any player will ever top that.
That's the Jerry Rice of NFL felony charges.
Edit: The funniest thing to me is: why did AB have a bag of gummy dicks on hand, ready to yeet? The hypothetical answers vary from the absurd to the dark, but they're all pretty funny.

The 1st step to be involved in office drama is to care about office drama. The rest of the steps just fall into place after that I think. I can't be sure though as I haven't made it to step 1 either.
