Unfortunately 99% of the people that watch it won't care about a back story and he'll be guilty in the eyes of the public. I do care about the circumstances. I was speaking from a place of some ignorance. That was my fault. I will check out the video when I got home. I do think this incident deserves a suspension, I just am not sure about it warranting an end to his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hit another adult male in a street fight. It's a completely different thing. i sure hope so---a number of times. Intrinsically, I fully support hitting people. But one should be very fussy about reasons used to justify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 44 minutes ago, Unbias said: 3 things to unpack here. 1 - The video is bad. He's punching a guy while it appears his girl is grabbing at his shirt. The guy stands up wobbly, then gets punched, turns as stiff as a board, then falls to ground. After that it's unclear, but seems like Montae does some ground and pound over the unconscious person. Watch the video. Unfortunately 99% of the people that watch it won't care about a back story and he'll be guilty in the eyes of the public. I mean... he IS guilty. There’s a video of him beating the crap out of another human. Hitting a woman is different... yes. But hitting another human is a bad business decision when you’re in the spotlight. He may have been “set up” where he was forced to defend himself, but then it comes back to knowing where you are and who you are and limiting exposure to those things. Maybe the guy deserved it. Maybe he didn’t. But he needs to be more self aware. Im on the fence for discipline. If that was a woman his career would be over. Granted, this isn’t the same thing... but he went way, way, way overboard here. Way overboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the discipline is going to depend on the circumstances and the injuries to that guy he pummeled into unconsciousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoDus84 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Placed on the NFI (not ****ing intelligent) list. He'll get suspended, but since this wasn't a domestic violence situation, he'll serve a 4 game suspension most likely and be back to backing up our starter next season.

Looks like he has a hell of a left cross. I don't know about MMA, because it looked like Nicholson was utilizing a lot of Tag Team tactics, by flinging people off of himself, so maybe WWE might be a better fit.

RandyHolt Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Even if he is a victim he cannot be judge jury and executioner. My prediction - 8 games. 6 from Mara, and maybe the team adds a game or 2 in a PR stunt since he doesn't play anyways. That was an impressive punch, and even more so - how the dude stiffened up like a redwood, all before timber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 You know what's super ironic, is his scouting report repeatedly warned he wasn't "aggressive" enough to play in the NFL. Actual exact quotes from his combine profile, almost comical, when you compare to his actions on the street : How's this first one, regarding his "hitting" : "Rarely imposes his will as a hitter." " He just doesn't have the aggressiveness you need to play this game on this level." -- AFC national scout " Has had self-described confidence issues. "" Ducks head into tackles and doesn't consistently square up his targets causing excessive missed tackles. " " Looks unsure of his responsibilities at times " "could have a hard time sticking in the league unless he finds more confidence and aggression." http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/montae-nicholson?id=2558133 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 That scouting report. coupled with the latest news, points to needing to drink before games. Seriously it can't be worse than what he did already. Beer. I like beer. It's not just for breakfast anymore. Nor is it just for us fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hope there's a plan here, and no, cutting him is not a plan. People already ready to set someone on fire for something they said or did these days to get ahead of the popular opinion instead of considering what's best for the people involved.

joeken24 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Two dudes got in a fight. One was drunk, not sure about the other. They had a disagreement and settled it. Hell, they probably could have talked it through (in this soft ass politically correct culture we live in), but sometimes that **** don't work. Who knows what was said or even what was done. Hell, the girls was even fighting. That **** must have been volatile as ****! Bottom line...they're both grown ass men. One got his ass beat. End of story. I ****ing hate social media. Meantime, Tom Wilson is glorified for knocking Jamie Oleksiak the **** out earlier tonight. And oh BTW, he had to sit in the penalty box. https://t.co/L3EaWFbBBT All you screaming for Montae to be traded or cut, be a ****in' man damnit!!!

SprintBomb Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Honestly, this kind of behavior from players in the NFL has slowly been making me less interested in following the league. It's embarrassing to see these players act this way. This isn't happening in the NHL or MLB, at least to this degree. I quit watching NBA 25 years ago because of similar childish behavior from entitled overpaid adult babies. On 12/18/2018 at 5:12 PM, Spaceman Spiff said: I just don't get it. I mean, maybe it's cause I'm in my 30s and had a good upbringing but I've always kept an eye on what's to lose by poor decision making. I'm not saying I've never made bad decisions, we all have, but I certainly haven't done anything that'd risk my career. I've also never had as much to lose as an NFL football player has. High salaries, endorsements, fame, legacy, etc. If I were in Montae Nicholson's shoes, I'd be walking such a straight line because I'd be aware that I'm EXPENDABLE. I don't think this incident sounds like it's going to cost him too much but it's certainly not going to be a strike in the positive column for him if the Skins draft a safety next year and he finds himself on the bubble. It's not like he's an Ed Reed or a Sean Taylor where the talent is undeniable and he's viewed as a centerpiece of the team. So when some asshole at a traffic light rolls up and starts honking the horn...I mean, what thoughts go through your head? It's obviously not "I'm a safety for the Redskins, I'm gonna stay above it and not flip out and hit this dude..." I guess maybe that's too much to ask for but I can't really relate. Like you said, you had a good upbringing. To many of these young men grew up without a positive male role model. Then they become entitled because they can throw and catch a ball. Then they have millions of dollars dropped in their laps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayAction Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I guess we will find out eventually. if the other guy threw a punch first then Montae will avoid jail time. But if Montae just started throwing punches in a road rage incident....well this is Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
