LOL Beebe. . . That's some seriously bad coaching right there. Good lord. You don't wanna punt? I get that. Tell your guy to roll out and heave the ball into the stands. Or, you know, teach him the actual rules. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 My eye actually started twitching when I read this: "Let's take the context of the word Panthers,'' [former Redskins QB Jay] Schroeder said. "It's an animal, but let's recall what happened in the 1960s with the militant groups (the Black Panthers). If you're going to take that context, you can take every word and look at it and decide what your own meaning is going to be.'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I certainly don't agree with him, but if your going to make that your argument, at least do it with a team name that might stick. Buffalo Bill Cody did his part to push the species to the brink of extinction, and Vikings, Raiders and Buccaneers are all illusions to violence committed upon weaker groups. The Cardinals were a blatant rip off of the baseball team. Not that I agree with any of that bullshit, but if your going to make the argument. . .

Had he not been an athlete, he'd be in jail. Rumblings say that the Vikings players want him back, if Heir Goddell takes him off the exempt list. I expect more fun things. Disagree, first time offenders for this type of thing usually just get probation or community service, athlete or not. Way too lazy to look up statistics but this random non-famous person was on the first page of a google search so he will have to do as an example. Parents generally don't get thrown in jail for going too far with corporal punishment as a first time offense unless the child was almost killed/had serious injuries, I see it in the local paper on a regular basis. The issue that AD has right now is that all this time, he was getting paid. If it had been a non-paid suspension, I'd say that he had done his time or close to it. But since he has been paid all this time he still needs a suspension, likely for the rest of the year. If this falls under the new domestic abuse suspension rule he should get six games anyway that would effectively end his season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Sheldon Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 His argument is going right over people's heads. Just like every pass he ever threw. Hard to be accurate when you're running for your life. He was sacked 124 times with the Raiders alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Why do you guys act like there is any legitimate logic behind any of these punishments? So what is the punishment going to be for, child abuse or being found guilty of a misdemeanor? If it is specifically child abuse, he should get 4 games(1st time offense), if it's misdemeanor he should get zero. This is the issue they are going to have, they can't possibly know the facts of a case that never went to trial. Is it going to be their policy going forward to punish players based on tmz reports? Suspending people for misdemeanors would open a can of worms that would be counterproductive to the entire disciplinary policy. My issue with all of these punishments from the beginning is that they have no logic behind them, they are/were just punishing players to get them away from the teams, not because the care about the players, victims, or the crimes.

What they were saying on ESPN last night is that they expect he'll just have to repay a bunch of the salary he got while suspended and that'll be the end of it.

Technico Support Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I thought of this thread yesterday at the Ravens game. I bought a bottled water and the person who served it to me at the concessions stand immediately opened it and threw the cap in the trash. I told her I needed the cap and she told me they had to throw them away due to "league rules." Can some of the more legally-minded among us please explain why the league might have rules against giving me the bottle cap? All I can think of is that a closed bottle makes a better projectile.

Death From Above Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 They do the same thing in the CFL with those beers that come with a cap on them since they switched to those the last couple years. I think it's a pretty universal stadium rule now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
