Ezekiel Elliott is back in New York to see the Commissioner, and Kareem Hunt may not be far behind.

The Browns running back, who will miss the first eight games of the 2019 season due to a suspension arising from multiple prior incidents, was involved in an incident over the weekend. A Browns spokesman tells PFT that the team is aware of the incident, and that the team has spoken to Hunt about it. The Browns had no further comment at this time.

TMZ.com has video of Hunt speaking to police, following a Saturday night incident at a Cleveland bar. Hunt was not arrested or charged.

One report quotes the owner of the bar at which the incident happened, downplaying the incident as a “small argument” between Hunt and a friend.

An unnamed witness tells TMZ.com that Hunt was indeed involved in a “physical altercation” with another man, but that it wasn’t clear whether it was a fight or simply horseplay. Police can be heard on the video telling Hunt, “I saw him push you.”

When the Browns signed Hunt, they possibly placed him on some sort of a one-strike arrangement. Whether this incident crosses whatever line the team put in place for Hunt remains to be seen, since it depends on whether the Browns (if they placed Hunt on a one-strike arrangement) would regard any controversy whatsoever involving Hunt to be enough to get them to terminate his second chance.

Also, the browns smell like shit after this. Nfl front offices were already pissed that the browns picked kareem up before the punishment even sunk in.

Browns are starting to piss people off.

My problem with him is that despite knowing he was in trouble, he went day drinking in Ohio. Where he got into another fight. After he was under the microscope he was hosting vip parties in Vegas. Other people have an issue with him lying.

Now, he gets cut. Loses millions. The browns stick their neck out to him not for a second chance, but a third chance. And he's at a bar. Again.

I don't have a problem with him. But he has a huge problem and he doesn't seem to realize it. Some people mistakes. But most of the people you named have shown they learn from them. The issue isn't kareem making a mistake and getting into a fight... Sometimes shit happens. Going to a bar... That's something he can and should have controlled.

Why can't the man sit in a bar and have a drink without getting into a violent dispute with someone, to the point where the cops are being called, even if this time he didn't actually punch anyone? That is a pretty fair question to ask of any adult member of society.

Even if the Browns gave him a babysitter to follow him around and keep him out of bars, a person who has no control over their temper will find themselves in trouble one way or another.

He's already dealt with pretty severe consequences for his behavior, it's probably cost him millions already, and he hasn't changed these patterns. What will it take? Jail? The CFL?

It's not new. If Kareem hasn't figured out that him+public places+alcohol is the problem he probably won't until it's too late.

It's just how some people are. Booze makes them all ****ing stupid and aggro.

I think there's plenty of evidence that both of their issues stem from not being able to handle their booze.

Though I'm hardly convinced Tyreek did anything wrong in this case. In the college case, they were both drunk.

In the case of Hunt, everything happens when he's drinking. If he can't handle his booze, he needs to stop.

She was pregnant and drunk?

My guess is Kareem Hunt was near a bar fight and some idiots saw Hunt and then saw the fight and just connected the two.

I haven't heard of anything with tyreek having a drinking problem. In this case, wasn't he basically at home? Here's the issue I have with kareem. There are things you can control. Sometimes trouble finds you, but that's on you if you go out seeking trouble. It's possible kareem was at the bar and people were egging him on or harassing him. The thing he could control was... Don't go to the bar.

Hunt is an out of control moron....who hangs around other out of control morons.

Hey lets give him a 2nd chance but this time, let's put him back in the same place, around all his homeboys, near his college town where all of the nonsense happens....what could possibly go wrong?

Probably somrthing like that...Still, considering his situation, WTF is he doing anywhere near a bar in the first place???

The moment any shit started...I'd be out the back door.

If my friend was causing it...I'd be "dude, you're on your own. You know the story"

Seems like "situations" have a way of finding Hunt...Tom Waits calls it "selling wolf tickets"

Kareem should have a combined bodyguard/safety buddy who accompanies Hunt to bars as long as he acts like a normal, responsible 23 year-old.

But the second something starts to go down, guard/buddy says a "safe word" and Hunt has to immediately exit the place with him. If Hunt doesn't act immediately, THOOP! blow dart to the neck and Hunt is out like a light in 3 seconds, guard/buddy carries him out like a sack of yams from Costco.

It was mind numbing-stupidity.

I remember seeing mahomes in a post game on field interview where they had a guy yank him away from the cameras. Always wondered if he had somewhat of a "handler." even read once that his agent heavily advises him on how to conduct himself off the field.

Wouldn’t any individual wanting a Nickel, see Kareem out drinking and pick a fight with him? They know he’s rich, alcohol kicks his ass, and he has unresolved issues. Easy pickins

He's not rich. Not until he gets a new contract.
