If he is guilty, then he should be suspended for a year.

It's getting so pathetic that it's starting to become funny.

under Goodell's new plan, you don't have to be found guilty to warrant a suspension

in other words, this guy is getting suspended, esp. since it's his 2nd run-in w/ the law

Maybe ESPN should just put up a sticky with the title "another bengal arrested." Maybe a counter or something. I wonder if Vegas has odds on the "next bengal busted."

Pathetic.

 

[dozin_theknick]

I bet he gets released. The Bengals are really in a corner. They need to make a statement because they are becoming a joke.....literally.

A Bengal getting arrested. Seriously, Goodell needs to step in. This is a embarrassment to the league. I'd tell Mike Brown he needs to figure this out or they start losing draft picks.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

the funniest part is the article saying the Bengals went 4 months w/o a player being arrested, like somehow that was an accomplishment

sad

 

[thomas_22]

Wow seriously how hard can it be to stay out of trouble

 

[gazmc_06]

I can't get over this, they should just change their name to te Convicts

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

This is one of those times where you just shake your head in amazement.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Did this really happen?

Guess it is good we draft chracter players.........

He's not very famous and this won't get national news, so he'll probably be treated differently by Roger "Double Standard" Goodell.

When so many players from the same team keep get in so much trouble in a year or more, it's hard not to believe their is a lack of direction starting from the very top of the Bengal organization & particularly including the coaching staff. Have the Bengal organization done anything? Or have they just shrugged it off, etc. This team has become a joke and a disgrace and frankly I hope the Commish (since it obvious the Bengals themselves can't/won't do anything) takes very strong action. Frankly, I'm not sure punishing those individual players will be enough but frankly this latest incident (and it's his 2nd run-in with the law) warrants a 1 year suspension. The Commish's actions against Pacman & another Bengal, possible action against Tank Johnson & probably 1-3 other players who might not have been made public apparently hasn't gotten Bengal attention. If the Bengal organization is as inept as they appear to be, sure hope Commish meets with Bengal team for a heart to heart talk & a walk to the woodshed. I don't know if so many Bengal players had problems even before they were drafted or not, but something must be done. Has anyone even heard of any response from NFL front office since this latest Bengal incident.

You know what really ticks me off. If this were the Cowboys, their would be a national outcry by the media, Congress would investigate and there'd be calls for Jones to sell the Cowboys.

Maybe the Bengals don't care what their players do in their personal time when they're off duty or "off the clock." My employer doesn't care. Most employers don't.

OGT, do you really think that is a defensible arguement?
In this day and age? What you do on your own time= do you really think that is defensible?

You can't be serious. What companies/employers wouldn't cringe when they see their employee in a police blotter with their company's name mentioned?

With my company, if I behaved like this Bengal player, I would lose my clearance, lose my position and it would be matter of time before getting a severance check.

Go commit a crime and see just how your employer acts, they will drop you in a heart beat.

A high profile organization like a NFL team does care how their players handle themselves off the field.

No, they wouldn't. Many (probably most) don't.

How old are you and what type of profession are you in?

If you are a teen working for McDonalds, I could see your ratinale, but if not, I don't think you know much about corporate world and their sensitivity of employee related negative press.

OGT, I am really beginning to think that you do not live in the real world at all.
