Michael Irvin - stupid criminal excuses

I don't follow pro football, but I had to laugh at this

DALLAS (AP) -- Former Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin was charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia after Plano police officers searched his vehicle during a traffic stop.

Irvin, an ESPN analyst and semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, told The Associated Press late Sunday that the drug pipe found in his car belonged to a friend of 17 years who left a Houston rehab center and came to Irvin's house in Carrollton for Thanksgiving. Irvin wouldn't reveal his friend's name.

Of course, he wouldn't. It's amazing how many times I've seen the "no, officer, that's not my [pipe, dope, needle, weapon] in my car. It's my friend's" schtick.

That one is only outdone in the stupid department by the one offered when a bindle of meth is discovered in a pocket during a patdown:

But officer, these aren't my pants.

well, if he is innocent (as he says) I think he should take a drug test. Yeah, I know there wasn't any dope in the car, but who carries a pipe around without using it? If he's clean, it would be easier for me to believe him.
