Former third-round offensive tackle Wayne Hunter, a three-year veteran released by the Seattle Seahawks last week after being charged for his alleged role in a fracas at a sports bar, has been claimed on waivers by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
A player whose career was marked by disappointment on and off the field, Hunter was jettisoned by the Seahawks after being charged with fourth-degree assault and third-degree malicious mischief stemming from a May 13 incident. Hunter faces a Wednesday arraignment in Renton, Wash., on the charges.
The incident, in which Hunter is alleged to have slammed a customer at the bar into a shuffleboard table, is the latest in a string of off-field problems for the once-promising offensive lineman. Seahawks officials have cautioned Hunter in the past that another misstep might jeopardize his career.

Those shuffleboard bars can get rough. It's why I stopped going on cruises.

ReplyDeleteHow did The Len-ster find that out? Must've had someone local write that for him. God forbid he do any research.
Shuffleboard rocks in bars; alas, I don't believe I have one local. Shamrock Tavern in Parkland has (or possibly had) one, great bar for those in the Tacoma area, and its basically accross the street from PLU which has some pretty girls who go into the bar, and Foxes, which has some pretty strippers who I think go into Denny's after 2.
