No thanks.

Anyone that was mad about Peters kneeling should be completely against acquiring this piece of shit.

Wait a second: The NFL hired a 66 year old woman, who's also a paraplegic, as security for a Super Bowl?

That's a lawsuit just waiting to happen.

Traded last week and indicted today? That's some serious serendipity, bad karma or sly work from the Seahags front office. Jeff Lurie is chocking down some nitroglycerin tabs about now... Not good news for a team that's dead last in cap space and just lost a guy that's counting $6,650,000 against the cap...and was supposed to be a cornerstone in their defense. Not to mention they gave up their 5th rounder and WR Marcus Johnson. (Compensatoin too small for Bennett? :hmmm: )

Eagles defensive end Michael Bennett was indicted by a grand jury today in Houston on a felony charge of injury of the elderly, stemming from an incident at last year’s Super Bowl.

Bennett, who played for the Seahawks at the time and was attending the Patriots-Falcons Super Bowl as a spectator while his brother Martellus Bennett played for the Patriots, is accused of rushing the field after the game and pushing a 66-year-old paraplegic woman who was working at the stadium.

According to the indictment, Bennett was told he couldn’t access the field from the place where he was trying to gain entry, and instead of complying he pushed the woman aside, injuring her.

There is no word on the nature of the woman’s injuries, and there has been no explanation about why it took 13 months for charges to be brought.

It is unclear whether the Seahawks and Eagles knew about the incident when Bennett was traded from Seattle to Philadelphia last week.

The NFL could discipline Bennett under the league’s personal conduct policy, regardless of the outcome of the criminal case.

I wonder if JJ Watt had been the guy who did this if he'd have an indictment for his arrest today....?

when reached for comment, Bennett claimed he himself was pushed by a Grey Alien, which cause him to fall into the paralyzed woman.

Wasn't he up for Man of The Year?

They're not bringing felony charges because he just kind bumped her or some shit, he had to have been pretty rough... with a handicapped old woman

Maybe. When lawsuits are filed 14 months after the fact, there's always doubt as to what happened.

I would assume that they have the incident on camera.

If not, it could be difficult to prove in court.

No video, word of a multi-millionaire vs. word of an off duty cop and paraplegic "security" woman.

This should end well.

This is the same guy who tried to smear the Las Vegas PD by claiming they roughed him up for no good reason, then the video came out showing him to be a flat out liar... I wouldnt put anything past him

(btw, not to derail things but check the panda express thread and tell me if LA still has Dollar Bowl if you would)

Oh, I totally agree. This is going to be a mess for Bennett and most likely, the city of a Houston.

I just don’t understand why the stadium management/NFL officials would sign off on a 66 year old female paraplegic as security.

Yeah, its hard to understand the calculus they were using to hire that woman as 'security', most likely just a form a charity to help people like her make a little money... but maybe ticket taker would've been more appropriate

The Bennett getting arrested thing really needs it's own thread. This is a mega-story that will probably dominate NFL news for awhile.
