Re: Thread for NFL players in trouble with the law

I would expand the last part to playing anywhere not just OSU. Cris Carter said what vets have been telling rookies since the turn of time. It's not a new thing. Hell he said this a year ago and we are just bringing it up now...listening to Scott Zolak the last couple of days on his Boston talk radio show he has this isn't something new that he was told this by guys when he entered the league in 1991.

I'm pretty sure that was just a shot at anyone from OSU, lol.

Guessing you're a Michigan or Michigan State fan, ImTellinTim? I forgot about OSU and thought you were going to say the Vikings.

Agree to disagree, I suppose. I just can't understand the thought process that this is good advice to give young people.

Will Justin Blackman or Josh Gordon ever play in the league again?

Re: Thread for NFL players in trouble with the law

Gordon maybe, Blackmon doesn't seem interested last I read, failed to be reinstated. Gordon TBD, but he's helping Pryor become a WR apparently.

Blackmon couldn't reapply because of his arrest last year. He may have been able to reapply in June or July, but don't know for sure. Based on his size in pictures, it doesn't look like he is coming back.

So he is probably done for the year, even if he pleads out. I wonder who told them he did it and how much evidence they have for the rape. Since he groped an unconscious woman, hard to prove unless there was a witness. Look for him to plead for lesser charges, it is only a misdemeanor, if he witnessed the rape.

Can't believe these players.

Re: Thread for NFL players in trouble with the law

Per PFT.com...

In a statement released after the announcement of a one-game suspension on Thursday, Broncos safety T.J. Ward said that he takes “full responsibility” for the 2014 incident at a Denver strip club that led to the suspension and that he’s “willing to accept the consequences” of his actions.
That doesn’t mean Ward is thrilled about the league’s decision. Through a plea arrangement that called for him to do community service, the misdemeanor assault and disturbing the peace charges against Ward for allegedly throwing a mug at a bartender were dropped and that doesn’t sit right with the safety.
“I feel it’s really unfair,” Ward said, via the Denver Post. “I’m getting punished for being accused of doing something. Not doing something, but being accused. And I’ve got to pay the consequences.”
When Ward was asked why he thinks he was suspended, he invoked the name of the Patriots quarterback whose suspension was thrown out by Judge Richard Berman earlier on Thursday.
“My last name’s not Brady,” Ward said.
There are myriad differences between the two cases and Ward’s not the first player to be suspended without being convicted of a crime, but dropping Tom Brady’s name into the conversation is an easy way to build on the stiff rebuke of the way NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wields his power that Berman issued earlier in the day.
It doesn’t look like this case is headed to federal court, so the Broncos will probably just have to play without Ward for the opening week of the season. It probably won’t be the last time we’re reminded of the eroded confidence in Goodell and the NFL’s disciplinary policies as a result of their handling of the Brady suspension, though.

Shut up TJ. If that's how you really feel take them to court like Tom Terrific did.
