Well Tyreek Hill's son had his arm snapped like a toothpick and the mother filed a complaint with the police.

Funny, dont see anything about that on TMZ:rolleyes:

Strange, very strange. I would bet the same group of fans who believed Zeke was innocent of anything want to crucify Crawford. Why is that? It's ok to hit a woman, pull down her top in a public place and expose her breasts and get into shenanigans in a bar but hit a bouncer and OMG Crawford is moron??! Strange world, very strange

Yes, but the rules are different for the NFL, a multi billion dollar industry that pays athletes large sums of money.

That's fine and I get that but you can't expect these young guys to be perfect. Making mistakes is just a part of growing up. It happens. I couldn't imagine how many more dumb decisions I would've made in my 20s had I had that kind of money thrown at me. Whew!

:laugh:

And there being consequences is also part of growing up. The consequences are why people grow up.

No, our fan base is the only one that makes a big deal of it and plays the “poor us” angle. If it’s a scrub no one cares, anyone more high profile than that then RG is out to get us and we’re getting screwed :rolleyes:

What is the deal with this gestapo arm of the NFL?

No charges filled. No arrests made. Criminal case closed.

But here comes the federal bureau of the NFL to request videos and investigate. Seriously?

I thought their business was football?

Meanwhile Robert Kraft still owns a franchise.
federal bureau of the NFL..........LOL I like that.

The funny thing is no one would know about it if they dont make a big deal about it.
To me the investigations and the suspensions hurt their image more than the acts themselves.
Then the announcers of the games go on and on about every suspension or off field acts, drawing even more attention to it.
It does get old.
They should keep it all in house, and fine the players large amounts not suspend them.

Watched TMZ last night and they were making him really look bad, sayin he was destroying everyone in the bar. He was going to get into trouble. The new video didn’t show anything about the cops. Looked like the bouncers were beating on him. But they did say that he came in and was being a jerk. Lol.not sure if it was new video on TV but showed everything pretty clear. Dude was a beast. Lol.

Plus, every time someone passes gas, there’s a camera crew, a presser, a Senate Subcommittee...

Then explain it. Why is Kraft getting off, when we all KNOW Jerry would be nailed to a cross? Why did Zeke get suspended for six games while worse offenses got less? Why 8+ games with no holding calls on opponents? Why game altering, subjective penalties on virtually every weekend? Yeah, every fan of every team cries about malfeasance when they lose, and yes, we are responsible for much of our own misfortune. But seriously, doesn’t the frequency of these strange coincidences give you pause?

Pretty sure he is gonna get at least a couple games suspension. THe fact he has a clean record up till now will keep it from being any longer.

Is Kraft getting off? Haven't heard that. He definitely needs to get some sort of punishment from the NFL....he has clearly made the brand look bad.

There were reports out the other day that prosecutors were backing off.

A billionaire owner tangled in a sleazy sex scandal is likely getting a pass, but a player in a nightclub shoving match will probably earn a suspension for “conduct unbecoming”? C’mon!

Money talks...

Really? How do you know Kraft is getting off? Because the law gave him a plea deal where he would have to admit he’s guilty? Did Kraft get off when Bellicheck was fined $500,000 or Tom Brady was suspended 6 games or the Pats lost a first round pick?

Did the NFL go after JJ for his pictures with his pants doen and girls old enough to be his granddaughters on their knees in front of him? They easily could have even though it wasn’t against the law.

Zeke got screwed, I’ve never denied that but they also could have gone after him for the St Patricks day incident or investigated the night club incident and got him kicked out of the league but they didn’t. Why?

Game altering subjective penalties? Do you watch every NFL game? Almost every team can point to one non call or penalty that cost them the game. People whine about the Dez non catch but never mention the Hitchens PI or the fact that the refs initially called it then picked the flags up or why Dez didn’t get flagged for running out on the field with his helmet off to argue with refs. The Lions fans have something to say about that.

Last years NO game was horribly officiated on both sides where both teams had game altering penalties or non calls. Had we lost, people like you would have picked apart every penalty and non call to use as an excuse as to why we lost and the NFL is biased against it’s biggest money maker and most popular team but instead there was a several page thread laughing about the Saints fans complaining about the officiating. Funny how that works, isn’t it?
