...Leon Lett vs. His Brain From showboat to goat: in the Super Bowl the defensive star's premature TD celebration cost his Dallas Cowboys a touchdown. On Thanksgiving the Cowboys lost to Miami because Lett couldn't keep his hands off a loose ball. This hotdog keeps ending up a wiener...

Bad news is nothing new to the Cowboys, who have already endured the drug suspensions of Irvin, defensive end Shante Carver and defensive tackle Leon Lett last year, or to the players in question. Irvin, arrested for drug possession last spring while in a motel room with an ex-teammate and two "self-employed models," is currently in the first year of a four-year probation sentence; Williams, who was once accused of sexual assault by a teenage...

...worse, though Don't let two bad apples spoil the lot. Well, defensive tackle Leon Lett is currently serving his third drug suspension. Erik Williams has been charged with more crimes than any current NFL player (including allegedly going statutory with a 14-year-old).
