PEORIA, Ill. (AP) - Former NFL player and Fox Sports broadcaster Bill Maas was charged with drug possession and weapons charges following a roadside safety check.

The 45-year-old Maas and a passenger in his Hummer, Sarah J. Murphy, 27, were arrested late Friday by Illinois State Police. During the stop, police indicated Maas seemed nervous, and he agreed to a search of his vehicle.

Police found a .22-caliber revolver, 5 grams of suspected marijuana, 6 grams of suspected cocaine and 28 pills of Ecstasy. Maas and Murphy were charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana. Maas was also booked on a charge of unlawful use of a weapon.

"We didn't recognize him until about 5 p.m. this afternoon," Trooper Tony Halsey told the Journal Star of Peoria on Saturday.

2. What is it with republics and illegal drugs?

They seem to go hand in hand especially for those who are the RW voice boxes.

4. weasels

I see there's a brief report on the FoxNews website (but you have to do a search for it). Nowhere to be seen on the main pages, of course - but they do helpfully point out that "Arrest of Gore's Son Spotlights Prescription Drug Abuse"

6. He'll use the Gore's son did it too excuse!

I wouldn't recognize him either, never heard of him before this story!

8. He was a hell of a defensive tackle with the Chiefs

His color commentary? Not so good. Mostly just a lot of incoherent rambling and restating things that should be obvious to whoever is watching the game he's working. If he was high when he got pulled over, it would be hard to tell the difference.

9. I'm sure glad he was able to get all that contraband away from

that young lady and counsel her on accepting the straight and narrow conservative life..
