After Kareem Hunt, I’ll never support releasing a guy unless his crime is really really bad.

The League doesn’t seem to want to kick guys out, so why should we reward some other team?

I think there would be a lot less sympathy for him.

And by sympathy I'm not talking about how you think the Chiefs should internally deal with it. Obviously it's going to be easier to cut ties with a bad player.

No one would care if Skyy did it because he sucks at football.

Yeah, I don't think the league punishment will be all that severe. Maybe he loses half the season though. We all know players have routinely received pretty light sentences for legal troubles too so I'd have my doubts that will be severe either.

1. We haven’t confirmed he was driving
2. We haven’t confirmed he was present
3. We haven’t confirmed anyone was drinking
4. We haven’t confirmed how fast they were going

BURY HIM

He wasn't released for his crimes. He lied to Clark Hunt and Reid when they asked for the honest truth about the events. He said he never left the room.

1. We're not friends.

2. No, this accident (if he was driving) is not close to physically assaulting another person. Difference in intent. Difference in actions. Stupid accidents are still stupid accidents and the level of blame and vitriol is different.

1 and 2, I never said he was, though I do think he was the guy in the Gray shorts. Nothing is confirmed there though.

3. You're a ****ing idiot if you think any of those guys were substantially drunk or high.

4. It wasn't 70.

Are we still friends?

Many of the morons who want to hang/bury the guy are the very ones who decry "cant the MEDIA wait for facts instead of racing to publish/tweet out misinformation"

But it's okay for them to do it.

I’m sorry I wasn’t refuting your take, I totally agree with you. It was a yes and to your take. I agree with you

Did I miss the proof that he was even there?

If the NFL office will not ban other teams from taking advantage, it makes zero sense for the Chiefs to be stuck holding the bag. The player doesn’t even face serious consequences, as we saw with Kareem Hunt.

Well we kind of know who we're dealing with here. Some guys are just boys being boys out for a bit of racin' and if they have guns in Texas it's their constitutional right.

And sometimes they are thugs who are a menace to society and obviously high and gangbangers and belong in prison.


I wonder what the difference is in reading the same situation those two very different ways.

Yes, and the evidence standard for Goodell's office (and the court of public opinion) is not the same as for criminal law. It's not that I want to bury the guy, but pretending there is nothing to worry about is unrealistic.
