There's never a shortage of unintelligent acts in any given week of the football season, and in this new Friday feature, we will try to provide a roundup of the dumbest behavior that we have seen or read about -- on and off the field. So without further ado, here is today's list, in order of dumb-ness.

1. Danny Ware, Giants: Recent college graduates sometimes like to go back to visit their old school, to catch up with old friends and professors, and perhaps even brag about the success they are having in life. Danny Ware has a Super Bowl championship ring to show off when he goes back to Athens, Ga., but getting really, really drunk appears to have been the main reason he went back there last weekend. Ware was arrested early Sunday morning, during the Giants' bye week, after the Georgia Bulldogs' loss to Alabama, and charged with being a pedestrian under the influence and a pedestrian in the roadway. The police say that he and a woman were standing in the middle of a street talking, oblivious to traffic that was swerving to avoid hitting them. If that's true, it's a good thing that the police intervened, because Ware, whose mugshot showed him with Georgia Bulldog logos painted onto his cheeks (instead of the Kellie Pickler logo you see at right), would be even less likely to crack the Giants starting lineup were he to be drilled by a car.

2. Chad Ocho Cinco/Johnson, Bengals: Chad What's His Name has not let his horrendous performance on the field thus far hurt his appetite for making outrageous comments. He basically guaranteed that he would score a touchdown this weekend at Dallas (even though he might have Ryan Fitzpatrick, and not Carson Palmer, trying to get him the ball), and stated that he would then kiss one of the Cowboys' star logos to show his "respect" for the franchise. Then he went on to talk about how he would actually rather be playing for Dallas than this crummy Bengals team: "if I was in Dallas, they would have to change all of our damn games to pay-per-view because you need to pay to see that [beep]." Raise your hand if you want to pay extra to see a guy who averages three catches for 29 yards per game, as Ocho Cinco has this year.

3. Terrell Owens, Cowboys: His remarks about not getting the ball enough during the Cowboys' 26-24 loss to the Redskins were surely blown way, way out of context. Surely this is not a sign of some impending crisis with the NFL's most talented team -- although they'd better watch out if they don't start winning again. But doesn't Owens know by now that everything he says is going to be blown out of context? His teammates, who are no doubt tired of answering questions about Owens, probably hope that he learns this lesson soon.

4. Vernon Davis, 49ers: The 49ers tight end, who has been nothing special since San Francisco drafted him in the first round with high hopes in 2006, came up screaming and wildly gesticulating at his own sideline after making a catch in the fourth quarter of San Francisco's loss to New Orleans. Davis wanted more balls thrown in his direction, but this was not the way to get it done; he was promptly yanked from the game by head coach Mike Nolan.

5. Tommie Harris, Bears: The Chicago defensive lineman blew off a treatment session for his injured knee, and earned himself a one-week suspension.
