According to TMZ, sources revealed the state trooper was hostile and ordered Jackson to perform a sobriety test–at 9:00 in the morning no less!  Sources also said that Jackson kept his cool and followed every instruction given to him:

The trooper finally let Jackson go without a ticket and he made it to his charity event, The DeSean Jackson Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer, created in 2009 after Jackson’s father passed away from the disease in 2009.

By JIM VERTUNO, AP Sports Writer –

GEORGETOWN, Texas (AP) — Tim Tebow drew a crowd of about 15,000 to an outdoor Easter church service Sunday, telling the gathering it’s important to be outspoken about faith while admonishing athletes about not being better role models.

“In Christianity, it’s the Pope and Tebow right now,” pastor Joe Champion he said. “We didn’t have enough room to handle the Pope.”

Tebow — devout Christian, backup NFL quarterback and cultural phenomenon — has a flock of admirers drawn as much to his religious leanings as his Heisman Trophy skills.

He told them he welcomed the attention on his convictions as well as the “Tebowing” prayer pose he often strikes on the field because it puts his faith and prayer in the public conversation.

“It’s being talking about,” he said. “That’s exciting.”

Some at the “Easter on the Hill” morning service under sunny skies drove more 100 miles to hear Tebow speak. The service took on the feeling of a rock concert with more than a 100 school buses shuttling people to the sprawling megachurch campus from local shopping centers and the nearby college.

The service was peppered with lively Christian rock songs and Tebow hit the large stage to cheers from those who could see him while others toward the back of the crowd watched on massive video screens. Tebow sat for a 20-minute interview with Champion to talk about his faith and the role it plays in his public life.

“It’s OK to be outspoken about your faith,” Tebow said.

He also took a shot at professional athletes who insist they are not role models.

“Yes you are. You’re just not a good one,” Tebow said.

Champion asked Tebow what he thought needed to change culturally in America.

“First and foremost is what this country was based on: one nation under God. The more that we can get back to that,” Tebow said to applause.

Although church officials had said they typically get their biggest crowds on Easter, Tebow was clearly the big draw Sunday. Several hundred started heading toward the exits after Tebow spoke, not waiting for Champion’s main Sunday sermon so they could avoid the 80-degree heat and beat the traffic.

Some couldn’t wait for the official 8 a.m. opening to the church grounds and showed up hours early.

As a result, the coach of the New Orleans Saints, Sean Payton, has been suspended for an entire year without pay and the former defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams, has been suspended indefinitely. On top of the suspensions the organization has been fined $500,000 and will lose their second round draft picks for 2012 and 2013.

“We are all accountable and responsible for player health and safety and the integrity of the game,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement announcing the punishments. “We will not tolerate conduct or a culture that undermines those priorities. No one is above the game or the rules that govern it.”

According to Chris Mortensen’s tweet, coach Joe Philbin and Manning met for approximately six hours in Indianapolis, as the Dolphins try to jump into the race to land the star quarterback cut by the Colts last week.

Manning has already had visits with the Broncos and Cardinals, who have been reported to be the frontrunners, and will meet with Tennessee Titans officials soon to discuss the possibility of a return to the state of Tennessee where he starred in college.

During Madonna’s Super Bowl halftime performance, featured guest M.I.A. decided to tell the cameraman he was #1. The NFL promptly apologized for the snafu, blaming M.I.A., of course, and the NFL, reports the Hollywood Reporter.

“The NFL hired the talent and produced the halftime show,” NBC said in a statement. “Our system was late to obscure the inappropriate gesture and we apologize to our viewers.”

In turn, the NFL blamed NBC.

“There was a failure in NBC’s delay system. The obscene gesture in the performance was completely inappropriate, very disappointing, and we apologize to our fans.”

Who needs to get all the blame is M.I.A., who is no doubt now being proclaimed by mainstream media outlets as the epitome of Hip-Hop.

There were no disciplinary reasons from the move, the Patriots wanted to make room on the roster for Defensive End Alex Silvestro.

To his credit, Underwood was a class act in his reaction to the move, stating on his Twitter page that he was still cheering for The Patriots.

“Good Luck To The New England Organization, The Coaches, & All My Teammates… #PatsNation,” he wrote. “THANK YOU Everyone For Your Support & Sympathy. Im Fine, This Will Only Make Me Stronger…Tough Times Never Last But Tough Ppl Do #TeamWood.”

Underwood was third on the New England depth chart behind Chad Ochocinco and had three catches for 30 yards on the season.
