Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest day of an NFL player's career.

But that's exactly what happened to the Atlanta Falcons' Eugene Robinson in 1999...
Eugene was having a great season, and the Falcons were on course for their first ever Super Bowl.
The day before the big game, he received an award for his "outstanding character in the community".
Feeling jubilant, he headed out in Miami for a celebratory blowjob.

Feeling jubilant, he headed out in Miami for a celebratory blowjob.
After trawling the streets, he handed $40 to a lady in heavy make-up and fishnet tights.
But his boner vanished when she slapped a pair of handcuffs on his wrist. She was an undercover cop.
With the biggest game of his career hours away, Euge spent the night behind bars.

On the morning of the Super Bowl, his coaches woke to the news their star player was in jail for soliciting sex.
They bailed him out in time for the game, but the distracted Falcons lost.
They've still never won a Super Bowl.
Eugene later reflected: "I was a knucklehead".
