In a breaking story, [Chiefs LB Mike Vrabel was arrested for theft at an Indiana casino.](http://www.weei.com/sports/boston/this-just-in/2191101/report-ex-pat-vrabel-arrested-theft) No other details yet, but I did NOT see that coming.

PFT has more info: [Vrabel's arrest arose from eight bottles of beer - NBC Sports](http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/04/vrabels-arrest-arose-from-eight-bottles-of-beer/)

Supposedly he grabbed 8 bottles of beer from a fridge at a deli. Much ado about nothing.

This is what happens when you don’t get a sweet TV broadcast deal in place to tide you over \* before\* the NFL locks you out.
