NFL investigates ex-Gator's sex tape
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Another videotape of Brandon Spikes is making the rounds, and it's not good news for the former Florida Gator.
Spikes, you may recall, was caught on tape last year trying to gouge the eyes of Georgia tailback Washaun Ealey. Gators coach Urban Meyer suspended him for the first half of the Vanderbilt game, saying Spikes was retaliating after getting his eye poked earlier against the Bulldogs.
Now a sexually explicit tape of Spikes and a woman has surfaced. The NFL is investigating based on the league's personal conduct policy.
The agent for Spikes, a Patriots rookie, told ESPNBoston.com it's an embarrassing situation.
"It was something that occurred before he became an NFL draftee and a New England Patriot," agent Terry Watson said. "I think for anyone it would be an embarrassing situation. Brandon has shown to many people the kind of person he is before and after being drafted in the second round. He's hoping to put this behind him and looks forward to having a great football season."
Over three preseason games, Spikes ranks third on New England with 17 tackles.
