Former NBA All-Star Allen Iverson spouted this tired clich? after a cop pulled over his Lamborghini in Atlanta last week for a traffic violation, CNN reports.
Although he owned the vehicle in question, Iverson, 35, was a passenger at the time. The driver, identified as Antwuan Cilsby in the police report obtained by CNN, was unable to provide documentation for the grey Lamborghini. After being told he couldn't leave until the investigation was complete, Iverson reportedly became "irate" and the officer called for backup.
Although the incident began as a minor traffic violation, as Cilsby allegedly failed to properly signal, upon scanning the car's identification number police found it to have tags that expired in 2009. Iverson then launched into an expletive filled tirade when told that his Lamborghini would be towed.
According to the police report, Iverson said, "take the vehicle, I have 10 more." He continued to say, "police don't have anything else (expletive) to do except (expletive) with me."
The officer said Iverson then, "went on and on about who he was" for 20 minutes.
The cops towed the vehicle, and cited Cilsby for the traffic violation and expired tags.
CNN says that, according to the police report, Iverson later came back and apologized for disrespecting the police
The question of where Jared Allen has been all season was answered fairly early in the game as Allen got his first pick of the season off of Aaron Rodgers.
Allen is known more for his pass rushing than his interceptions, but he's only had one sack this year.
Allen had 14.5 sacks the last two seasons and 15.5 sacks in 2007, so his production definitely is down this year. He has 73 career sacks coming into tonight's game.
Allen is a Superstar on the Vikings defense, known as much for his mullet and cookbook as he is for his play on the field.
With Rodgers beinga a mobile quarterback, it's going to be hard for Allen to increase his sack total tonight, but there's still more than half a season for Allen to bump up his numbers, and at age 28, he still has plenty of productive years left.
Since most of the pregame focused on Favre, Allen's presence wasn't really addressed and how much of an impact he can have on an offense when he is putting the pressure on.
The comparison between Allen and the Packers young star Clay Matthews is a great one to make as both guys leave it all out on the field when they play.
