Jets' Robby Anderson says 'forever' night in jail changed his life

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Robby Anderson said the low point was the night he spent in jail. It was Jan. 19, and he had just been arrested for the second time in eight months -- salacious allegations that would become huge headlines in the New York tabloids. He spent 12 hours in the Broward County jail, not far from his home in Sunrise, Florida.

"It felt like forever," he told ESPN this week.

Anderson was coming off a breakout season as a wide receiver for the New York Jets, and he was wondering if he had blown his chance for a long, prosperous career.
