Jerome Mathis Allegedly Chokes Pregnant Girlfriend

Jerome Mathis is a professional football player and I'm sure some ladies would sell their souls to get a chance to lick his sweat ... but I'm also pretty convinced this is not the way for the Texans receiver/kickoff returner to score in the love department: He's been charged with assault for allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend. Yep ... that's not sexy:

"She reported that [Mathis] came home verbally aggressive toward her and left the residence, then came back a few minutes later demanding his car [cell phone] charger," [Patrol Capt. Richard] Foreman said. "He became angry while he looked for the charger, and when she gave it to him, he pushed her down on the bed and began choking her while putting all of his body weight on her."

Um, can you say anger management? Imagine what would've happened if he had lost the actual cell phone. This isn't the Texan's first run-in with the law. (Really? You don't say!) Before last season, he stated that he was maturing, but after a citation in December for letting his pit bull loose to terrorize his neighborhood (and it happened again in January), plus this recent choking incident ... I'll blindly bet he failed that maturity initiative. Just a hunch.
