(CNN) -

Even though he's being held in California, retired NFL star Darren Sharper was denied bail Thursday by a judge in Phoenix, Arizona, a spokesman for the Maricopa County Attorney's office said. Sharper, a five-time Pro Bowl player, faces five counts of drugging and raping three women in Scottsdale, Ariz., in November.

I never heard about this before. I remember talk some years ago about whether or not it would be a good idea to try to sign Sharper when he was a FA. If the allegations are true, Sharper is a seriously sick and twisted, demented human being. I seriously cannot fathom why a guy of his stature would do something like that. He likely had women falling at his feet just on the account of him being who he was. It really makes no sense.

 

If this has been previously posted and discussed, I must have missed it. My apologies.
