Jeremy CluffIf you didn't know who Sean Murphy-Bunting was before, you might know now.
The NFL player, a cornerback for the Arizona Cardinals, is in the news after TMZ obtained video of him carrying what appears to be a passed out Bobbi Althoff out of a Nashville Bar.
TMZ reported: "Check out the footage, obtained by TMZ, showing Bobbi motionless early Monday morning as she's being physically carried out of the Barstool Sports Bar in Nashville. Folks who were there say the guy holding Bobbi in the video is NFL player Sean Murphy-Bunting, and both of their outfits match what they were wearing in a video Bobbi posted before their Sunday outing. First, Sean sits down on a set of stairs outside the bar with Bobbi in his arms, and then the Arizona Cardinals cornerback carries her with him into the back of a black SUV that pulls up to whisk them away. A source connected to the group out that night tells us Sean was being a good friend ... taking care of Bobbi to ensure she got home safely."
