TheDoyler23 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I believe the phrase "When in Rome..." applies pretty well, here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM916 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 He's not the only one they suspended this week. Now, I can't say I never took an oppurtunity and threw it away or at least messed it up pretty bad but at least I know better than to drive drunk or do drugs, especially if I were in an organization that could test me at any time.

ouvan59 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Man i love it how Godell is trying to crack down! This would have been a suspension under Tagliabue as well. This is for substance abuse not personal conduct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Goodell and his evil empire strikes again. I think DUI's shouldn't be one of the strikes against a player. if it is, it shouldn't warrant a 4 game suspension IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think the league should be light and condone driving drunk and putting everyone else's life in danger when you are either too lazy or too stupid to call a cab or limo...i mean these guys are millionaires they cant pay 20 bucks for a cab?? and because of they dont care my family's lives should be in danger?? they should crack down hard on them ...maybe missing a 1/4 of a years pay he will call a cab next time.

I'm not condoning drinking and driving. My father is an alcoholic and I can't stand the whole it's a disease crap. I just don't think the punishment fits the crime so to speak. Drugs are illegal, so are steroids and shooting poeple. DUI is illegal also and very dangerous, but at the same time, I just don't think it's equal to the other things. It's just my humble opinion. Take it or leave it. I'm not gonna argue my point any longer. Goodell won't change the rules so my point is moot anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishOrange15 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Welcome to DA RAAAAAAIDAS!!! According to Sirius, the Raiders knew that this suspension was coming when they signed him. Take that for what you will. YAKUZA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
