Athletes and the law thread

[SG_Player1974]

Maybe we'll meet some day and you can show me what a man you are.

Sounds to me like I would just need to send a woman to take care of it.

Suspended is different than being dismissed from the team. I bet he'll be back soon in time for the first game.

who said anything about other than suspended?

The Rutger's 5

You have to wonder who is vetting these athletes. Time to raise the academic standards for athletes.

Five Rutgers football players have been suspended from the team after one was charged in a home invasion and four others were charged with assaulting a group of people.

Ruhann Peele, Nadir Barnwell, Razohnn Gross and Delon Stephenson were charged with aggravated assault, riot and conspiracy to commit a riot for a fight that left a man with a broken jaw.

Andre Boggs was charged in two home invasion robberies in April and May 2015. Former Rutgers player Tejay Johnson was charged in those cases as well.

Texas HS footballers blindside ref

IMO they should be charged with assault.

The two defensive backs from John Jay High School, sophomore Victor Rojas and senior Mike Moreno have been suspended and could face criminal charges after one hit referee Robert Watts from behind and the other subsequently speared him with his helmet during a game at Marble Falls.

Video shows Watts, who was watching the play from behind the defensive line, getting leveled from behind by a first player, causing Watts' head to snap back. The other player then is seen lowering his helmet and piling into Watts after he had fallen down.

Both Rojas and Moreno were suspended indefinitely from the team and from school. The Marble Falls police said in a statement Monday that no arrests have been made, but the department is conducting an investigation.

Johnnie football

I guess rehab didn't work out too well.

Crowley said Manziel hit her and pushed her head against the glass while driving. She also told police that she feared for her life at one point.She told police she did not want to press charges and later posted on social media that she and Manziel were fine. Manziel also posted on social media, saying the argument looked worse than it was.
A witness reported that Manziel passed her car on the highway's shoulder at a high rate of speed then crossed several lanes to exit the highway. As he did, Crowley tried to leave the moving car, and Manziel pulled her back in.
The witness said Manziel was "flying" on the highway. Another witness said Crowley told her Manziel had hit her.

Al Davis would be disappointed

5 arrests since 2012. That has to lead the league. 2015 isn't over yet, so maybe there is still time to add to the total.

Oakland Raiders linebacker Aldon Smith has been suspended for one year without pay under the NFL's substance-abuse policy, the league said Tuesday.

In September, Smith, 25, pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor counts of hit-and-run, drunken driving and vandalism, charges that stem from an alleged Aug. 6 incident.

In a separate incident, Smith was arrested April 13, 2014, at Los Angeles International Airport. Police said Smith was randomly selected for a secondary screening, became uncooperative with the process and told a TSA agent he had a bomb. No charges were filed.

During the 2014 season, Smith received a nine-game suspension for what the league called violations of its policies on substance abuse and personal conduct. Smith spent a month in treatment during the 2013 season.

This is from an article from 2014

San Francisco 49ers outside linebacker Aldon Smith was at a higher risk of getting into off-field trouble in the NFL than other college prospects, according to a pre-draft psychological profile

Maybe we should put the NFL in charge of gun control.

 

[Grumpy]

This guy showed glimpses of his real nature in college. He dragged his girlfriend around by the hair. His coach enabled his violent behavior.



Then the sport team owner/managers overlook character flaws when a person is capable of playing. Good on the teams that declined to draft this guy.



So his life spirals out of control. He's out of football but not done wrecking havoc on society.



And while in prison he creates his ultimate masterpiece.


Larry needs a new cellmate

I'm sure Larry is just some misunderstood youth that needs a little love and maybe some midnight basketball to get his life back on track.

Honestly the signs where all there. People chose to ignore those signs since he had some potential as a ball player. If they took young Mr. Phillips out back and let him do the Spandau ballet there would be no great loss and an end to his mayhem.

Dead and gone, suicide in his cell.

Don't taze me bro

Speeding & pot isn't a good combo, no matter what team you play for.

Alabama footballers arrested

Stolen guns & drugs. Felony charges. How long before they are kicked off the team? 1 guy is a starter the other a bench warmer. It will be interesting to see how the ended up with a stolen gun. I'm guessing they didn't even know the gun was there. They might take Cris Carter's advice and let 1 of their friends be the fall guy.

This is the coach's statement:

We all have a responsibility and obligation to represent the university, ourselves and our family in a first-class way. Obviously, we're a little disappointed that better choices and decisions weren't made here, but until we get the facts, we don't really have much else to say about it.

Alabama Crimson Tide football players Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones were arrested Tuesday morning in their hometown of West Monroe, Louisiana, on possession of a controlled substance and weapons charges

Darren Collison - Domestic Violence

Another NBAer smacking some bytch around. The season just ended so he is in spring training form. Expect severer beatings in a few weeks as he shakes off the rust. Good thing he earned $16 million on his last contract to bail himself out.

Authorities say Sacramento Kings guard Darren Collison was arrested Monday on a domestic violence charge after deputies responded to a report of a woman being assaulted inside a Northern California home.

A Tennessee jury found former Vanderbilt University football player Brandon Vandenburg guilty Saturday in the sexual assault of an unconscious female student, said Stephanie Mosley, a court officer with presiding Judge Monte D. Watkins.

Vandenburg was accused of taking the woman, whom he was dating, into a dorm room on the Nashville campus in June 2013, where three teammates sexually assaulted her.

X-Detroit Lion shot during break in

And he forgot to put on clothes.

Additional officers arrived on the scene and when they searched the area they found the suspect in a fountain in the back yard. He was completely naked and suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to the hospital where he remained as of Thursday. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

Authorities later identified the suspect as Stanley Wilson II of Portland. Wilson played cornerback for the Detroit Lions for three seasons, starting in 2005, after also playing football for Stanford University. However, Wilson’s career as a professional football player faded following an injury in 2008.

Judge ignores prosecutor's recommendation sentence of 9 years and he gets 18 years & $20K fine.

Former NFL star Darren Sharper has been sentenced to 18 years in prison in a case where he was accused of drugging and raping as many as 16 women in four states.Judge Jane Triche Milazzo sentenced Sharper on Thursday. He had pleaded guilty or no-contest to charges arising from the allegations of drugging and raping women in federal court in New Orleans, and state courts in Louisiana, Arizona, California and Nevada.
Prosecutors suggested a nine-year prison term for Sharper under a multijurisdictional plea deal, but Milazzo rejected it as too lenient in June. The sentence was 15 months short of the maximum. He was also fined $20,000.

Way to stay classy Mr. Hardy.

Bucs cut tight end Sefarian-Jenkins for 2nd DUI last Friday, but he was signed by the NY Jets yesterday.....He was arrested after partying all night, and just two hours before he was to report for practice. He never displayed any kind of smarts during his two years here, either on or off the field.
