The Raiders' Ray-Ray Armstrong Might Make The Dumb Athlete Hall Of Fame After Allegedly Taunting A Police Dog

By Matt Dolloff (@mattdolloff)

BOSTON (CBS) -- There are certain things that every human should understand not to do. Things that bring no benefits whatsoever and could only brew trouble. Taunting a police officer is one of those things - and you're an even bigger moron if you taunt a police dog.

Raiders linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong may be learning the hard way not to do such a pointless and obtuse thing, as he is reportedly under investigation for taunting a police dog in Pennsylvania (h/t Deadspin). The Raiders played in Pittsburgh over the weekend, so...there's that.

And this is apparently the dog that was taunted:

That'll land you in the back of a police cruiser 'round those parts, Ray-Ray. Deal with it.

Even if Armstrong just faux-growled at the K-9 in passing, there's just no need for it. And he reportedly pounded his shirtless chest and barked at him, so there's REALLY no need for this. America knows how police can overreact get carried away these days, so it's no shock that the police would have no patience for Armstrong's behavior. Mocking or taunting the police force has never worked out for anyone in real life.

I hope this is true so the Dumb Athlete Hall of Fame can enshrine a new member.
