Who's getting arrested tonight at the Super Bowl?
I have been trying to find a list but haven't been able to find one

There have been a remarkable number of personal meltdowns the night before the Super Bowl
by players in the game as well as out

In 1989 Bengals fullback Stanley Wilson said he forgot his playbook and went back to the hotel. He never showed back up and he was found in his hotel room in the midst of a full blown cocaine binge. He was observed later going out to get more.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Wilson_Sr.

In 1999 Falcons DB Eugene Robinson, a guy who all accounts was of "high moral character, was arrested the night before the game soliciting an undercover female cop for $70 worth of oral sex.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Robinson

The PAtriots Robert Edwards is a really weird story. He was playing in a rookie beach football game made for TV (ESPN I think). He blew out his knee so badly it almost had to amputated. He was never the same. He ended up in the Canadian Football League. They don't do the beach football game anymore.

In 2000 Raven's Linebacker Ray Lewis was clearly involved in a murder. Lewis wasn't playing in the game. He played and won the Super Bowl the next year.

In 2003 Raiders lineman Barrett Robbins disappeared for much of the week leading up to the game. He was on a variety of antidepressants and spent the game in a hospital with a bipolar condition and depression. In 2005 he was involved in a nightclub shooting and plead guilty but has since completely disappeared and is wanted.

There could be more. This was all I could remember. Apparently all week players say to each other "Don't be Stanley Wilson" pretty much anything they want is available.

1. I think I saw a beach football game
on WGN today.

I thought it was strange, but what do I know?

They widened Hwy 60 and took out everything on that side of the road a few years ago.

10. Robert Edwards knee injury occured a week after the Super Bowl during the Pro Bowl weekend...
Horrible injury. And yes, they never had a beach volleyball game again.

16. From what I'm reading in the Florida papers, things are very dull, no
"good" parties to speak of and no Class A guests are showing at the parties. I got this from my home page at www.my.att.net. They may still have the story up.
