As Tyndall Report pointed out when the Raiders' Marquis Cooper and the Lions' Corey Smith drowned in the Gulf of Mexico four weeks ago, ordinary local stories become nationally newsworthy when an NFL player is involved. So an argument over a policeman's inconsiderate traffic stop in Dallas qualified for coverage by NBC's Pete Williams and CBS' Mark Strassmann because the driver happened to be Houston Texans' running back Ryan Moats. Moats ran a red light in the early house of the morning while he was rushing to his mother-in-law's deathbed. When officer Robert Powell detained him for 15 minutes in the hospital parking lot, his demeanor was caught on audiotape: "I can screw you over. You know would rather not do that. Your attitude will dictate everything that happens and right now your attitude sucks."

By the time the traffic ticket was written, the patient was dead with Moats unable to say goodbye. Because Moats happened to be an NFL player, Powell's behavior was publicized and he has been suspended from duty.
