Given how much grief the Green Bay Packers have brought the
Chicago Bears over the years, it's never a sad day when they suffer misfortunes. Aaron Rodgers going down with his collarbone injury was a minor holiday for many. Sure it's never fun to see someone get hurt but it's impossible to deny emotions. That said, there is no reason to feel bad about their young wide receiver, Trevor Davis.
Other than maybe feeling sorry for the fact he's an idiot. That much became true when he got himself arrested at LAX airport in Los Angeles. So what was the reason? Smuggling drugs? Domestic violence? Possession of a firearm? Nope and nope. Turns out Davis forgot the #1 rule of post-9/11 airports.
Do not, under any circumstances, mention explosives or bomb in earshot of employees.
It's the taboo word of this era for obvious reasons. Apparently, Davis forgot that memo. According to
TMZ Sports, the wide receiver made the highly questionable judgment to crack a bomb joke in front of a ticket attendant. What happened next was fairly predictable, and more than a little hilarious.
Green Bay Packers receiver arrested for LAX "explosives" joke
"Green Bay Packers wide receiver Trevor Davis was arrested at LAX on Sunday morning after cops say he joked about smuggling a bomb into the airport ... TMZ Sports has learned...
...Law enforcement sources tell us the 24-year-old -- a 5th round draft pick out of Cal in 2016 -- was at the Hawaiian Airlines ticket counter with a female companion to check into a flight when the attendant asked the usual security questions about their luggage.
Instead of playing it straight -- we're told Davis turned to the other woman and said, "Did you remember to pack the explosives?"
She apparently said, "No" and tried to get him to stop. He then said, "Just kidding" -- but it was too late."
If nothing else the Packers have remained entertaining for Bears fans this off-season. Not only did they failed to lure free agents Kyle Fuller and Allen Robinson north, now one of their own players raises questions about how in the world he was ever drafted by a supposedly superior organization.
Of course, the Bears have a rich history of idiots as well, so one can't judge too much. Then again plenty of Packers fans had no issue laughing at them in those days. So in the interest of fairness, no guilt should be felt about getting maximum enjoyment out of this.
