TITANS ASSISTANT CECIL ARRESTED by Michael David Smith
The Associated Press is reporting that Tennessee Titans defensive backs coach Chuck Cecil was arrested and charged with drunken driving Saturday night.
Per the AP, Metro Nashville police stopped Cecil for driving 42 mph in a 30-mph zone Saturday night. A police report said Cecil smelled of alcohol and had red, watery eyes. The report said Cecil was unsteady through several sobriety tests, including stumbling when trying to turn. He put his arms out three times for balance during a one-legged stand and put his foot down after 14 seconds.
The report said Cecil refused a blood alcohol test even after being told of the state's implied consent law.
Cecil appeared before a night court officer just before midnight and was on the sideline 12 hours later when the Titans lost to the Colts.
Cecil played seven seasons in the NFL, his last with the then-Houston Oilers in 1995, when his current boss, Jeff Fisher, was his head coach. Cecil is best known to most fans for a Sports Illustrated cover that showed him with blood dripping down the bridge of his nose and referred to him as "too vicious for the NFL."
