Dolphins Defensive End Derrick Shelby Is Looking Real Good In His Mugshot From This Weekend

FORT LAUDERDALE — Rising Miami Dolphins star Derrick Shelby was arrested yesterday after a disturbance at a Fort Lauderdale nightclub — and the mug shot might end up on the top 10 of NFL mug shots. Undrafted third-year defensive end Shelby, 25, was involved in an early morning fight at Off The Hookah in the Himmarshee Village bar district, and his booking photo shows he didn’t come out of the kerfuffle unscathed. Fort Lauderdale cops say Shelby caused the fight with bouncers at the Middle Eastern-themed club about 2 a.m.

We’re told bouncers then uniformed police officers ordered Shelby to leave, and the free-for-all erupted after he refused, according to police. Shelby was charged with resisting arrest and trespassing, records show. The Dolphins are in their bye week and are not playing today. Despite the fact that Shelby is a reserve player and unusually skinny for a defensive end, his toughness has caused Head Coach Joe Philbin to increase Shelby’s playing time. He has six tackles and two sacks so far this season.

I want to laugh at Derrick Shelby. That eye. The bloody lip. The entire face screaming I’m so blacked out and have no clue where the fuck I am right now. But I can’t. Why? Because it’s Monday Morning and you may not look as bad as Derrick Shelby does in this picture but I bet you don’t feel much better. That’s all I see. I see that face and I think, yup, that’s the perfect Monday Morning I want to die face. Derrick Shelby looks exactly how I feel. I bet he has the price is right sad trombone permanently playing in his head. Just as sad as sad gets.
