Stupid NFL player of the week…

NFL lineman Da’Quan Bowers flagged for gun at LaGuardia

A muscle-bound NFL lineman was busted at La Guardia Airport yesterday for packing a powerful .40-caliber handgun in a carry-on bag as he tried to board a flight, authorities said.

Da’Quan Bowers — a 6-foot-5, 290-pound defensive end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — allegedly admitted to having the weapon as he arrived at 11 a.m. at a US Airways ticket counter.

“Mr. Bowers was flagged for holding,” cracked one Port Authority cop. “It’s up to line judge [Queens DA] Richard Brown to determine what the penalty will be.”

…The 22-year-old second-year NFL player was trying to get onto a plane to North Carolina with gal pal Dana Rodgers, who lives in Raleigh, when the Smith & Wesson gun was uncovered in a black suitcase. A clip wrapped in clothing was also found, sources said.

Though the clip was not in the gun, the weapon is considered loaded under New York law because it was filled with bullets.

“The two of them were in the same bag — under the law it’s considered a loaded gun,” the source said.

What is more troubling is that he got away it this past weekend…

…The football player told investigators that he had carried the gun up to New York on a plane about three days ago and it had gone undetected, sources said.
