Najeh Poop Davenport

I caught the late news the other night on WISH TV 8, the local CBS affiliate here in Indianapolis, and I swear I heard veteran sports reporter Chris Widlic refer to Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najeh Davenport as Najeh "Poop" Davenport. I think the airing was on Sat 1/5 since the Steelers-Jags game was earlier that day and it would make sense that he would be airing highlights of this game that night. I thought my ears were playing tricks on me so I even rewound the segment with my DVR and put captions on. Of course the dude doing the closed captioning had no idea what to type, so there was a long delay and then he just typed "Davenport", totally avoiding the attempt at spelling his first name or typing the word "poop". I wish I had a way of copying something from my DVR hard drive to my computer, but I just don't have the equipment to do it. Someone out there in the tubes of the internet must have it though.

For those of you who don't get the reference of "poop" in relation to Najeh Davenport, one needs only to do a google search with those words. To summarize the story, back in '02 he was a rookie with the Green Bay Packers and he managed to get into an occupied female dorm room at Barry University and popped a squat in a girl's laundry basket in her closet while she slept. He ended up agreeing to perform 100 hours of community service to get rid of the criminal charges and has been the butt of shit jokes ever since.

Back in December '07 Rich Eisen on the NFL Network made a less obvious inside joke when he said something to the effect of, "Roethlisberger dumps the pass to Davenport for a TD." Ah, gotta love the little inside jokes.

I remember back when I was a freshman living in Ross Hall at Butler University in '00 and someone pinched one off in the men's bathroom shower. I refused to use that shower the remainder of the semester and instead opted to use the showers one hall over. There are some real sick bastards out there.
