SAUERBRUN OUT IN DENVER
Well Broncos punter Todd Sauerbrun apparently failed his lie detector test.
Busted last week for allegedly assaulting a cab driver, the PFT All-Time, All-Turd punter has been cut by the Broncos.
Sauerbrun was also cut by the Broncos last year after serving a four-game suspension for violation of the policy against anabolic steroids and related substances. He eventually signed with the Patriots, and then won his freedom from a right of first refusal in his contract, based on a technicality. He promptly re-signed with Denver.
We mention the concept of the lie detector test with tongue only partially in cheek, because Broncos coach Mike Shanahan has admitted to using the device to "clear" a player who has been charged with wrongdoing. The fact that expressly or implicitly requiring a player to submit to the test and/or hinging his employment on the outcome of it likely is a violation of federal law hasn't stopped him.
UPDATE: We're told that Sauerbrun was not asked to take a lie detector test.
