From NFL to No-Fly Zone: The Wild Tale of Gosder Cherilus Goes Off the Rails!

Former NFL star Gosder Cherilus makes headlines, but this time it's not for football! Find out why a Delta flight had to turn around mid-air!

In a bizarre incident that sounds more like a comedic sketch than real life, former NFL offensive lineman Gosder Cherilus found himself at the center of a scandal on a recent Delta Air Lines flight. The 35-year-old, who once dazzled fans as a first-round draft pick for the Detroit Lions, reportedly got himself into serious trouble by allegedly urinating on a fellow passenger mid-flight. Sitting safe and sound in the cabin of a flight headed to Dublin, one can only imagine the shock of passengers witnessing such liberties taken above the clouds!

As if we needed more drama, this wasn’t a case of simply being unruly. Cherilus faced accusations of not only being overly friendly with the in-flight lavatory but also allegedly striking another passenger. Witnesses described the flight as taking a swift and chaotic turn when the aircraft had to circle back to Boston Logan International Airport due to the actions of the NFL star, who seemingly forgot that travel etiquette applies to everyone, even big men on campus.

They say, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" but it looks like Cherilus might have missed that memo while flying over the Atlantic. Two handcuffs were needed to restrain the former Boston College standout, whose journey from the football field to the flight aisle has turned into a cautionary tale for all would-be rowdy passengers out there. And they say don’t mix alcohol with high altitudes—clearly, someone didn’t get the memo!

As this story continues to develop, the football world might be quite surprised at how quickly a celebrated athletic career can take a nosedive. Cherilus’ antics have not only landed him on the wrong side of the law but also seem destined to go down in history as one of the more absurd moments in air travel. In fact, there are reports that this flight was filled with tourists heading to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime Dublin adventure—hopefully, they saved some room for the unexpected thrills!

Let’s not forget that this isn’t the first time a famous athlete has found themselves in hot water while traveling. In 2016, former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel made headlines after being escorted off a flight for being intoxicated. And now, as for Gosder Cherilus, the NFL may want to reconsider expanding their rules about behavior to address those in transit off the field as well. Otherwise, who knows what flying stories will emerge next?
