“Look at that little Meggett go!”

…all the way to jail.

Former Giants’ (and Patriots, and Jets) running back David Meggett was sentenced to 30 years in prison after he was convicted of criminal sexual conduct and burglary.

From the New York Daily News:

Meggett was convicted in a case involving an encounter with a college student in January 2009, according to the authorities. Meggett was a running back and a punt returner for 10 seasons in the N.F.L. He played six seasons with the Giants. In 1998, Meggett was arrested in Toronto after the authorities said he assaulted an escort worker. A trial on the assault charge ended with a hung jury in April 2000. Meggett later worked as parks and recreation director in Robersonville, N.C., but resigned four years ago after he was accused of sexually assaulting his former girlfriend.

I knew there was a reason I liked Eric Metcalf better.

Sounds like “little” David has some issues.
