2012-13 NFL Pro Bowl Week: A Sad Period in Football

This thread sucks, but not as much as the next one is going to

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Leroy Hill was arrested after police say he assaulted his girlfriend and kept her in his home against her will.

According to a release from the Issaquah Police Department on Wednesday morning, Hill was arrested on investigation of unlawful imprisonment-domestic violence and third-degree assault-domestic violence. According to King County Jail records, Hill was booked into the Seattle correctional facility early Wednesday afternoon.

Both charges are felonies in Washington state. It's at least the fourth time Hill, 30, has been arrested and the second time he's been accused of domestic violence.

Police said they responded to Hill's home around 4 p.m. Tuesday. A 26-year-old said she had been assaulted several times and was kept in Hill's home against her will. The women told police that Hill blocked the doorway and took her cellphone. She was able to escape the home when Hill used the bathroom, police said.

She was treated at a hospital and released. A Seahawks spokesman said the team is aware of the situation.

Hill played last season on a one-year contract with the Seahawks. He played in 13 games, starting 12, and recorded 47 tackles and 1½ sacks. Hill is one of two players still on the Seahawks roster from their lone Super Bowl appearance when they lost to Pittsburgh. He's played all eight NFL seasons with the Seahawks and has started 89 of 97 games in his Seattle career.

Hill is scheduled to become a free agent this offseason.

For much of his career, off-field problems have followed Hill. He was arrested less than a year ago for marijuana possession in Atlanta, but the charge was later dismissed. His first arrest came in 2009 in Georgia for marijuana possession where he was sentenced to 12 months of probation.

Then in April 2010, Hill was arrested by Issaquah police on a fourth-degree assault-domestic violence charge. Hill avoided trial on that charge after agreeing to a stipulated order of continuance that required him to avoid legal troubles for 18 months and complete a one-year, state-certified domestic violence treatment program.

Issaquah prosecutor Lynn Moberly said Wednesday that Hill's previous domestic violence case had closed and the latest arrest has no influence on his previous deal.

Hill was suspended by the NFL for two games during the 2010 season.

Just when you thought the Ravens staked their claim as the media failures of the Superbowl

Chris Culliver responds to questions and says an openly gay team mate would not be welcome on the 49ers and that no one on their team is gay and if they are they better pack their bags

Fucking lol. A black guy takling about who should and shuoldnt be allowed to play sports.

[Melena]

Culliver is a fucking idiot. Niners already spoke out against him. Hopefully they hit him in the wallet as well.

Funny to think back that this is the same team that put out the first video for this considering Cullivers fuck up

It's like bal and sf went head to head with dumb ass shit to say on media day and then sf ran away with it

[Headspace]

GENO hit enough incentives in his rookie contract to bump his salary from 575k to 1.4mil. Such a bargain still but almost tripling your salary is nuts lol

[noblemountain]

I love incentive contracts...good for everyone involved.

Word is that Philly is going to hire Dennis Dixon from Raven's practice squad after the Super Bowl. Not shocking really.
