Per JLC/RI & PFT: Cody Glenn Says He Lied About The Reason For His Suspension(Merged)

[Rocky52Mc]

Ok, before you go crazy, it's Cody Glenn.

Let's try to keep the "Another draft pick down the drain" comments to ourselves. I think this kid does have some personal issues though.

Washington Redskins fifth round linebacker Cody Glenn acknowledged that he wasn’t telling the truth during interviews about the reasons behind his three-game suspension during his final season at Nebraska.

Glenn initially told reporters that cover the Redskins that he was punished for selling tickets, but is still declining to specify the real reason why he was suspended.

According to an Associated Press report, Glenn admitted that he made up the story to get reporters to stop querying him about why he was punished.

“It was me being dumb, just trying to have people leave me alone,” Glenn said. “It’s something I said that I probably shouldn’t have, looking at it now. … So many people kept asking me about it, everywhere I go That was the rumor out there, so I just said, ‘OK, yeah, I sold tickets.’ …

“It was just so people would kind of leave me alone, just to get them an answer, for people who had to have an answer. And to have people constantly nagging in my ear about ‘What did you do?’ blah, blah, blah. I got tired of that. That’s all that is. I didn’t mean to confuse anyone.”

I'm not really sure how much potential he has, but this isn't the way to start your career. All he had to say was "That was in the past and I want to focus on the future." But instead, he lied about it.

[RammsteinSkins]

BUST!

I just hope that he can get it straightened out either way.

[TheGoodBits]

Am I blind or does this still not tell us why he was actually suspended?

[spjunkies]

"No comment" would be perfect in that situation.

"Glenn initially told reporters that cover the Redskins that he was punished for selling tickets, but is still declining to specify the real reason why he was suspended."

[Spade]

hmm, must have been bad.

Oh gotcha. I missed "still" and thought that was talking about at first. Can we get a little honesty now then?

[saeed1982]

Give this guy a shot man what the heck. Sean Taylor got in trouble in the past, but turned his life around so people deserve 2nd chances in life.

[Stophovr6]

I hope it's not gambling.

[Dead Money]

We've officially passed the Bengals... Good thing Al Davis is still alive to make us look better than we are at evaluating talent.

[PCS]

We all learn by doing. Sometimes neither is all that easy. Especially when we're young.

[mnb123]

who cares he is on the team now.

dwelling on this thing is not going to get anyone anywhere.

[J-bomb]

He is only supposed to be special teams help, looks like Ronnie Palmer your window just got a little bigger!

[saeed1982]

I agree. Anyone can judge, but as long as he can play I think we will be ok. Fletcher and Zorn will not put with problems

[Sweet Sassy Molassy]

hmm, must have been bad.

Little do we (actually) know, every new neighborhood he moves into he has to introduce himself to his neighbors as required by law.

Yeah the state of Nebraska doesn't take kindly to people who rape 10 week old kittens.

Actually, the Bengals outdid themselves by drafting even more guys with character questions. Nobody's catching them any time soon, and we're not even a remote comparison.

[redman]

What if he dropped them off afterwards at a hospital?

[TheGoodBits]

What if he dropped them off afterwards at a hospital?

That's why he wasn't suspended for the whole season.

[SkinsGuy]

In the end, this doesn't really matter.

I would think that the Redskins know the real story of why he was suspended before they drafted him by talking to his coaches.

If they know and weren't worried about it, I'm cool with it.

He lied to the media to get off his back... excuse me... the paparazzi...

so, it's ok, let him talk to Zorn...

[wilco_holland]

Palmer soundz promising,

Ronnie Palmer, Arizona

Height: 6-3. Weight: 245.

Projected 40 Time: 4.72.

Projected Round (2009): 7-FA.

12/7/08: Ronnie Palmer has 70 tackles on the year for Arizona.

2007: A play-maker who has a habit of picking off passes. Really seems to care about winning, unlike a few other players on both the collegiate and professional levels.

UDFA out of Arizona, playmaker, MLB, Redskins......sounds familiar

[dirtfreak]

everybody has done something at some point were not perfect

We're nowhere close to the Bengals. They picked up Andre Smith and some other guy with a criminal record. The Bengals seem to completely ignore character.
