    Story
    Former NFL safety Darren Sharper, along with a second suspect, allegedly admitted to witnesses that they did ? two women while in New Orleans this past September, according to reports on Wednesday.

    Sharper is currently being held in Los Angeles, Calif., on two counts of ? and is accused of ? nine women and drugging 11 in five states.

    According to TMZ, which obtained a copy of the arrest warrant application for suspect Eric Nunez, the application states that a witness said Sharper and Nunez admitted having non-consensual sex with the women.

    "Through further investigation by the detectives it was learned that Nunez and Sharper admitted to other known witnesses that he and Sharper had vaginal and/or oral sex with victims #1 and #2 without their knowledge or permission."

    Sharper played in the NFL from 1997 to 2010, primarily with the Green Bay Packers.

    He faces a hearing on Friday to determine whether he will be extradited to New Orleans after officials issued an arrest warrant in two ? cases.

    Sharper turned himself in to Los Angeles officials last week after the warrant in New Orleans was issued.

    Or just buy them an apple martini. But I think that's the whole point with dude; he likes passed out ? . Honestly sounds like lightweight necrophilia to me. Dude has SERIOUS psychological issues.

    This.

    Some dudes just have fetishes. And sometimes it's some sick ? .

    It's kinda like telling a game hunter or fisherman that hunts, kills, and eats it --- "you coulda just went to the grocery store or a restaurant."

    Not justifying it - just how he gets down.

    It's all good tho. He'll end up in Angola or San Quentin and somebody will knock his ass out and do something strange to him too.

    I'm not a doctor but to me a mental disorder suggests he is not aware of what he is doing. The fact that he is drugging these women suggests that he is well aware of what he is doing. Deceitfulness is a form of dishonesty. Dishonesty is a form of guilt. A person with a mental disorder will not feel any guilt because he does not know that he is doing something wrong. Sharper is just a ? sick bastard.

    Ex-Packer teammates stunned by Darren Sharper case

    Green Bay — This sight of Darren Sharper is painful. The Darren Sharper in an orange prison suit — accused of sick, demented crimes — isn't the one former teammates remember.

    LeRoy Butler knew him as one of his "best friends," who treated women like royalty.

    Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila knew him as a jokester, a teammate who once snuck a worm into his helmet on the sideline.

    Antonio Freeman played video games with Sharper. Tyrone Williams talked about the stock market with him. Coaches vow he was a tireless worker.

    They never saw him as a serial ? . And, if guilty, that may become the former Green Bay Packers safety's ultimate legacy.

    "I never, ever could have imagined seeing what has allegedly happened with Darren Sharper," said Williams, his voice spiking. "I never would have seen this coming. It's mind-boggling."

    If all the allegations are true, at some point this multimillionaire with the multimillion-watt smile took an awful turn.

    Investigators say Sharper slipped sedatives into women's drinks, rendering them unconscious, at which point he'd ? them. When Los Angeles police arrested Sharper on Jan. 17 on suspicion of October and January rapes, they found 20 Ambien pills in his possession. Since then, he has been charged in Los Angeles with two rapes and five drug counts, indicted for two more rapes in Arizona and is under investigation in Florida, Louisiana and Nevada.

    The 38-year-old Sharper has pleaded not guilty and remains jailed in Los Angeles. He has a hearing Tuesday. He faces a life sentence.

    No incidents have been alleged in Wisconsin, the site of his first eight pro seasons. This is where he grew from a raw, mistake-prone rookie in 1997 to an all-pro. Teammates didn't see signs. Some have theories of how a player who supposedly had it all — money, women, a Super Bowl, a gig at NFL Network — could break so bad.

    But pure shock, above all, is the prevailing emotion.

    "Either way, this is going to go down as one of the worst things in NFL history," said Williams, a teammate for six seasons. "I can't think of anything to this magnitude."

    The defensive backs
    Friends. Mentors. The ones with Sharper daily in Green Bay didn't detect a thing. Both Butler and Williams studied film with him, practiced, hung out and...nothing.

    They saw Sharper around women, too.

    Drugging? ? ? The safety who took Sharper under his wing as a rookie is in shock.

    "This guy was like the chivalry days where you'd lay down a jacket so they could walk over the puddle," Butler said. "He was always very respectful. All my kids liked him, and I have four daughters. They knew him. They thought very highly of him."

    They're not defending. Not judging. They're in disbelief.

    Soon after that initial January arrest, Butler called those closest to Sharper. Everyone with Green Bay roots, Butler said, "is shocked." The two of them hung out "quite a bit," too. They kept in touch right up to Sharper's departure in 2005. Until then, Butler saw no shadow of a predator.

    "Girls would throw themselves at him," Butler said. "He had no problem getting women at all. Good-looking guy. Great player. Possible Hall of Famer. He had lots of money. He had great parents — fantastic parents. This was a guy nobody would expect this kind of stuff from."

    Take the trip to Miami, for example. Butler once flew to Sharper's new South Beach condo for a calendar photo shoot. Walking down the beach, women were "gawking" over Sharper, Butler said. The average-looking friends, the ones who were hit-or-miss with the ladies, would hang around Sharper because of the women he attracted.

    Women waited for Sharper everywhere, Butler said.

    "At the gym. Outside. He was just a nice guy," Butler said. "Everybody liked him."

    Players rarely partied in Green Bay. It's Green Bay. The nightlife was even more benign then. If they wanted to have a few beers, they made the 115-mile drive south to Milwaukee, where Sharper often held parties of his own. They were a "big deal" to attend, Freeman said.

    But nobody was passing out, the former teammates said. There was no shadiness to it. One law enforcement officer in Green Bay during Sharper's years — 1997 to 2004 — said he never heard of any trouble in town.

    Williams, like Butler, considered Sharper a close friend. Humble. Focused. Smart. These are the words he uses, repeatedly, to describe the Sharper he knew. They went out together in Wisconsin and Miami, too. When the Chicago Bears played the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl, Williams attended one of Sharper's parties in New Orleans.

    "He'd go out, have drinks, take them to dinner," Williams said. "I never saw him disrespect women like that. I just never saw it happen."

    The two of them didn't carry typical 21- and 22-year-old conversation. They reviewed the stock market. They poked fun at a teammate for his falling stock in Krispy Kreme. Bragging about his education from William & Mary, Sharper discussed "saving money," about "being a business guy."

    Always "high-level conversation," Williams said.

    So many players crumble after retirement. They succumb to depression, to drug addiction, to serious health problems. Sharper seemed to be the exception. He lived a charmed life with that 2009 Super Bowl ring, the 63 career interceptions and a cozy seat on the NFL Network set.

    Yet was there an undercurrent nobody saw? A dark turn at some point?

    "It's pitch dark," Butler said. "It's almost like a place no guy should ever go, you know?"

    The coaches
    So the ones in charge at 1265 Lombardi Ave. had to see a sign, right? Someone accused of ? had to carry an air of selfishness, of entitlement, had to exude some prima donna stench.

    The Sharper coaches remember was, again, the exact opposite.

    Kurt Schottenheimer was his position coach that final season in Green Bay. And player always beat coach to the film room, to the practice field.

    "It was easy to have a really good relationship with him," Schottenheimer said. "He was all about football. It was easy to get on the same page as him. He worked hard in all aspects of preparation, film work and on-the-field work. He was the first one on the field, the last one to leave.

    "You could walk into the defensive back room any time — day or night — and you wouldn't be surprised if he was in there looking at film."

    Sharper's first position coach in Green Bay (Bob Valesente) and his last (Schottenheimer) paint the same picture. While they didn't see Sharper at the bars, they did see how he responded to success and failure.

    After Green Bay's back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, Sharper was the goat in the 1998 NFC wild-card classic at San Francisco. Terrell Owens found just enough room inside the safety to catch a 25-yard touchdown pass with 3 seconds left. The loss, the play, effectively slammed a title window shut. Sharper was burned often those first two seasons. "Terrible," Williams puts it nicely.

    All along, Valesente vows, Sharper was all business. Valesente had zero problems with Sharper his two years with him.

    "Just a real honest, hard-working guy. He fulfilled all of his responsibilities on a daily basis. No problems whatsoever."

    By Year 4, Sharper was a ticking turnover. Schottenheimer coached both Sharper (2004) and Charles Woodson (2006-'08) in Green Bay. One a safety, one a cornerback, the two were strikingly similar.

    The reason Sharper had nine-interception seasons with three teams was professionalism, Schottenheimer said. Preparation. He watched film on his own, constantly, and earned a license to roam.

    Many times, Sharper was supposed to cover a deep half in Cover 2 and "all of a sudden," Schottenheimer said, he's picking off a pass at a linebacker's depth.

    "And I'm thinking, 'What the heck is he doing?'" Schottenheimer said. "The head coach, Mike Sherman, looked at me and said, 'That's Darren, Coach. He sees stuff that the rest of us don't see.'"

    Yet soon, all of this could become trivial. Inconsequential. The charges against Sharper reflect evil.

    Evil the coaches never saw.

    "He was the kind of guy," Schottenheimer said, "you'd bring home to dinner any time."

    The star
    Freeman can't take his mind off the alleged victims. Recharging his memory, he can't recall anything suspicious about those Milwaukee parties.

    "You didn't hear about any drink slipping or anything," Freeman said. "I don't remember anybody falling asleep or passing out in our presence."

    Freeman was more apt to hunker down and play Madden on Playstation after practice. As a person, Freeman does remember Sharper as a "college kid" with a "college mentality." He was cocky — "very cocky, very full of himself." He can't say Sharper was this kind of guy, a ? , or that he isn't. He wants the facts to play out in court.

    But Freeman was a star himself. He saw the potential pitfalls.

    So when Freeman heard about Sharper's associate in these alleged rapes, he connected dots. Erik Nunez, a server at Morton's Steakhouse in New Orleans who was accused along with Sharper, is the X-factor. Any star-status athlete can have his inner circle poisoned at any time. All it takes, Freeman says, is a friend of a friend.

    "Whoever he was running with," Freeman said, "they thought this (expletive) was cool, too. It wasn't just him. It was him and another dude, a young kid. Somebody thought this was fun. Somebody didn't look at this with the seriousness that it really is."

    The details are ugly. In one New Orleans police report obtained by multiple outlets, two alleged victims are described as impaired by a substance "to the degree that both do not recall the entirety of the sexual intercourse." The victims said they "awoke to a stupor" to find Sharper "completely nude" on top of them. The report also says Sharper and Nunez admitted to witnesses they had sex with the two victims without their knowledge.

    Freeman knows Sharper's brother, his parents and said they're all "candid" people.

    This college mentality must have turned bad when he ran across somebody, somewhere, somehow, Freeman says.

    "You might not know who these people are," Freeman said. "Their emphasis may be good. It may be discreet....But somebody came into contact with him along the way, told him this was cool and — with that same college mentality — it became an addiction."

    Freeman tried to stiff-arm these people out of his life. Initially, as a star, it's natural to welcome new faces into your entourage. You want your ego stroked. You want everybody to say, "Hey, I met Darren Sharper. Hey, I met Antonio Freeman," he said. And as Freeman adds, no athlete wants to go to Vegas, to the Bahamas alone.

    But who's in that circle? Who's the "yes" man? Who's brutally honest? Who's the designated driver? At the NFL's rookie symposium, Freeman tries to drill this point home.

    Invite the wrong person on that trip to Vegas and your world can change. Freeman can see a scenario in which this stock-market following student of the game took a "pitch dark" turn.

    For several minutes, Freeman tries to think like Sharper. Sex is an open market...in professional sports...in 2014. It's not that stars objectify women. He won't go there. But women are everywhere.

    Some players, Freeman said, treat it like "The Bachelor." A game.

    "If you're Tom Jennings, who's 26 and works at Sam's Club or whatever, yeah, it's a little harder," Freeman said. "This is like turning a corner. Wherever you go, they know you. There's opportunity.... It's a game now. And if I'm drugging them and I got away with it, and I have a friend of mine that I can call who's on the same page as mine and I can find some kind of value in this, yeah, now the addiction comes."

    Details will emerge. All players hope, pray, he's innocent. For now, this is not the Darren Sharper that Green Bay remembers.

    "If their story is true and it's proven," Freeman said, "it's a sad, sad day."

    The preacher
    Inside the Packers locker room, Gbaja-Biamila would spread the gospel daily. The team's all-time sacks leader would get eye rolls, cold shoulders, arguments. It all came from a place "of love," he repeats. Something like seeing a person walk into a building that has a bomb.

    "What kind of sick person would I be if I said, 'Bye! Continue going in there!'" Gbaja-Biamila said.

    Thinking back, Sharper did listen. But Gbaja-Biamila can't remember any engagement.

    "He listened," Gbaja-Biamila said. "He didn't agree or anything — he just listened."

    If Sharper was a kid his coach would bring home for dinner, if he was treating women with such grace...what on earth happened?

    Gbaja-Biamila says he won't judge Sharper. Yet often, he did see an emptiness in players.

    To him, such a horrid demise is not so far-fetched.

    "We're born sinners," he said. "It could happen to me. I could be where Darren Sharper is right now. That's why I try to stay close to Jesus Christ and follow his ways. It's not that hard. In this case, if it's true, he just got caught. There's people doing the same thing who just haven't gotten caught. They can put on the façade that everything is OK."

    Gbaja-Biamila is ashamed at how he once treated women himself, how he too often was driven by "? ," by "envy," by "coveting."

    In time, Gbaja-Biamila realized nothing was undercover. Today, he believes whatever a person does in the dark comes to the light.

    "If he gets out of this," Gbaja-Biamila said of Sharper, "I hope it's a wake-up call and he says, 'I can't keep living like this. I need to settle down. I need to get right with ? .' I hope that's what that leads to."

    Gbaja-Biamila pauses to find the text messages he sent to Sharper.

    Soon after the initial arrest, Gbaja-Biamila contacted his brother, Akbar, at the NFL Network for an updated phone number. He needed to contact Sharper ASAP. Gbaja-Biamila was depressed for three days. In mourning, "like a death," he said.

    His text to Sharper read, "I've been thinking about you. Praying for you."

    He repeats those words out loud, pausing again.

    Gbaja-Biamila never heard back. He's not sure if Sharper ever received his messages.
