THINKS THE EAGLES STOLE ONE
Merriman was arrested after Tequila signed a citizen's arrest warrant accusing Merriman of battery and false imprisonment. Both are felonies.
Dumanis decided yesterday not to charge Merriman after her office spent 3 days reviewing reports from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
"After a thorough review of the investigation into the Sept. 6, 2009 incident at the Poway home of Shawne Merriman, our office has determined there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any crime was committed," Dumanis said in a statement. "This case is now closed."
Dumanis' statement was released moments after the Chargers concluded practice. Informed by reporters that he wouldn't be charged, Merriman said he couldn't comment until after he'd spoken with his lawyers.
The Chargers are preparing for their season opener Monday night at Oakland. It will be Merriman's first knee surgery after the 2008 season opener.
* Saying he wanted to keep a competitive advantage, Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini this week refused to publicly announce his starting quarterback for tomorrow's opener against visiting Minnesota. However, all indications are that Brady Quinn will start, not Derek Anderson.
* New England quarterback Tom Brady is confirming that he and model Gisele Bundchen are expecting a baby. Brady confirmed in a television interview scheduled to air tomorrow that Bundchen is pregnant. He also has a child with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
* A federal appeals court in Minneapolis cleared the way for Vikings defensive tackles Pat Williams and Kevin Williams to play all season, despite the NFL's attempts to suspend them for violating the league's anti-doping policy.
* Denver receiver Brandon Marshall declined to comment about his return from a team-imposed suspension, culminating his week of public silence on the matter. Marshall, who was reinstated Sunday after a 9-day suspension for conduct detrimental to the team, could be subject to a fine for failing to make himself available to reporters at least once during the week of practice.
