Arrest / Fine / Suspension Thread

I'll just wait for all the facts to come out. I'll agree this does seem out of character for Chad, but I can't say that I know Chad Johnson well enough to know how he acts outside of the spotlight. Some people are night & day when the camera's on or when they're around a bunch of people.

Extremely true. I still think it was a heated fight with two idiots lunging forward at the same time.

Denver Jury finds LB D.J Williams Guilty of drunk driving charges from a 2010 arrest.They convicted him of driving while impaired and driving without his headlights on.This was Williams' second drunk driving conviction as he also pleaded guilty to it in 2005. This could carry a jail sentence of 10 days and up to one year.

I feel bad for Chad... but his wife had every right to be angry. I hope another team gives him a chance.

So apparently the Cowboys have a set of rules for Dez Bryant, and by now everyone knows my stance(including Arnie) on these arrests so when I say this, I did not have anything to do with these rules nor did I contact Jerry Jones and tell him what rules to have. It just seems he agrees with me.

A nightly midnight curfew. No strip clubs. An approved list of night clubs. A rotating three-man security team. While a team has limited ability to take action if a player gets into trouble away from work, there’s nothing in the CBA that allows a team to impose such proactive measures.

Then there’s the fact that having a full-time security detail could give rise to salary-cap issues, given that folks providing security won’t be doing it for free. (We’ve contacted the league for its position on this specific aspect of the Rules of 88.)

One of our players did have an incident this summer

Has des Bryant even been arrested for incidents at club or while drunk? Can't remember hearing things

[Ed_Reed20]

He hasn't. Still, his immaturity and irresponsibility have been well-documented. The rules are really in place to protect him from himself.

[FerrariFan87]

Pac-Man Jones had similar rules and ended up starting a fight with one of his own security guards lol... these guys always seem to find a way to do something stupid regardless of the safeguards in place.

Thank you, Dallas, for trading up in front of us!!

I don't understand why they can't go out and party like the rest of us

[cursona pirate]

What is he!? A child? Does not make sense.

[Purple Punishment]

All of these NFL players really erk me. All the talent and money they make and they can't keep themselves on the straight and narrow. I mean you know you make millions of dollars and all you have to do is live like a normal person yet they lack the common sense to do so. If i was in Dez Bryant's shoes, I would get wrapped up in football and ignore everything else.

This is very different. Dez has been a repeat offender who is constantly in the news for all the wrong reasons. This is just one case in which a midnight curfew is understandable for a grown man.

[The Raven]

I think this is the rare occasion where a grown man has lost his privilege to party. He just screwed up to many times.

[YYZ66]

I got Dez on my fantasy team. Told someone at work yesterday that I'll keep him until he gets suspended.

[JO_75]

Another receiver who's last name is Bryant got arrested. Antonio Bryant was arrested this past Tuesday for domestic battery by strangulation, domestic violence, and culpable negligence. Apparently he strangled the mother of his child.

I love it how its always "the mother of his child". Whatever happen to getting married and then having kids? With the same person. Forever. And then grandkids.

Turner arrested for DUI hours this morning hours after the Falcons beat Denver. SMH. I guess he was drinking because he came to the realization that he's getting old and can't do it anymore. Piss me off especially because I was forced to stick it out with him in fantasy football. Ugghhhhh.

what is the usual suspension for this? anyone remember? is it two games - As I have Jacquizz in one of my leagues, ha. But on a serious note I dont think if he is suspended it is that much of a detriment to the Falcons and it may even be a good thing as I think Rodgers will thrive once he gets the chance (ala Andre Brown). Rough though.

The incident happened almost a week ago. Turner isn't in danger of being suspended.

Oh boy... Suh is possibly in trouble again. Apparently Suh side swept a guys car, left the scene and proceeded to yell at the other driver at a stoplight. The guy, Steve Vines called police who told him to go to the team's facility and wait for them in which when Suh saw him at the facilty told the guy to leave and was "advising" him to leave.

This is his second time in less than a year that Suh has been involved in a traffic incident.

Vines says he called Dearborn, Michigan police, who told him to go to the team’s practice facility and wait for them to arrive. So that’s what Vines did.

“That’s when [suh] said, ‘I advise you to leave, now,’” Vines said. “And I said, ‘I’m not going anywhere. I talked to the police.’ [He said], ‘I don’t care what they said. You need to get out of here.’ And then he said, ‘I’m advising you to leave, now.’”

We have another arrest....... this time Steeler Rookie NT Alameda Taamu was arrested for drunk driving.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/10/14/steelers-rookie-alameda-taamu-arrested-for-drunk-driving/

[Cville-Raven]

hahaha Pitt, who's the thugs now?

[MissK528]

Just read the report of everything Ta'amu is being charged with...

15 COUNTS. FIFTEEN. In one evening. From one night of drinking. How do you even do that?

I really hope COPS was filming in Pittsburgh at the time. What is it with drunk people and the need to take off their clothes anyway?

[poedacrow]

Well he's an "ex-steeler" but there's this;

http://www.bloomberg...ictment-1-.html

Dr Rydze was in the pokey as of Friday. Not sure if this cast a pall on the Steeler's organization, but it'd be interesting to see what if, anything comes of this.

[JO_75]

Suh has now received his 4th traffic violation within one year.

FOX 2 in Detroit is reporting that Suh was ticketed in Lathrup Village, Michigan, on November 15 for failure to use due care and caution.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/11/27/another-traffic-incident-for-ndamukong-suh/

I wonder if Suh gave the cop a low blow and then stomped on him after he gave him the ticket.

[MissK528]

How does Suh still have a license?

[BMORElegacy]

How does Suh still have a license?

How does he even fit in a car.

In all seriousness, Suh is quickly becoming Albert Haynesworth 2.0.
