Giants RB Danny Ware Enjoys Bye Week, Gets Arrested For Standing In Traffic Drunk

Some people are taking the Georgia loss to Alabama this weekend a little harder than others, including one Super Bowl champ.

New York Giants running back Danny Ware was arrested at 2:24 a.m. Sunday morning while doing what we all do when we're drunk and with a girl -- standing in the middle of oncoming traffic just chatting away. The Athens-Banner Herald reported (via The Star-Ledger) that both Ware and 24-year-old Jennifer Henderson were charged with pedestrian under the influence and pedestrian in the roadway.

Ware and a 24-year-old Dallas woman attracted a police officer's attention at about 2:25 a.m. Sunday at East Clayton Street near North Jackson Street because they seemed oblivious to traffic that had to steer around them as they stood in the street talking, according to police.

Ware admitted that he'd been drinking, and a breath test showed he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.152 grams, police said.

I guess all of this leads to just one simple question. What did the guy do after the Giants beat the Patriots? Scottsdale has a lot of streets you can stand in while talking to people. I prefer Sandalwood Drive.
