[Bob Sacamano]

for drunk and disorderly conduct according to Jerry Jones

don't know if this has been posted yet

I guess this is from his arrest a couple of months ago, or whenever it was?

I figured that there was a 1 or 2 game suspension coming for him.

 

[Doomsday101]

I just hope he learns from this and it does not happen again. He has a chance to have a nice career making very good money the choice is his

 

[Rampage]

looks like Ellis is staying for sure now.

I can't even begin to list all the players who's gotten away with worse without any action taken by the league in the last 2 years alone.

If Spencer gets suspended over this then something is seriously wrong with the NFL

 

[Bonecrusher#31]

He might just get a fine.....


Nevermind that statement he is a Cowboy.

Could just be a fine. It isn't deserving of 2 games. Maybe not even 1.

Substance abuse violation (alcohol-related arrests) falls under league review.

It's only right.

I expect a big fine since he's not a repeat offender...we think.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Yeah I guess it could just be a fine this time since the league, to our knowledge, has never had to get on him before for any violations. We'll see.

didn't the Giants have a DUI on their o-line this season McKenzie IIRC, Did the league even do anything with him?

they probably bought him a case of beer.

...meanwhile, Donte Stallworth continues to attend offseason workouts with the Browns!

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Is Spencer going to be kept out of offseason workouts?

Kareem's DUI occurred towards the end of the season, maybe he hasn't resolved the legal issues yet. Anyway, this is per PFT.

Under the CBA, the league and not the teams have the right to impose discipline for violations of the substance-abuse policy, which includes alcohol and drug offenses. (That said, there’s language in Paragraph 11 of the Standard Player Contract that permits a player to be cut if he ”has engaged in personal conduct reasonably judged by Club to adversely affect or reflect on Club.” Lesser forms of discipline, however, apparently aren’t allowed.) After the legal process is resolved (and if McKenzie is convicted of or pleads guilty to the charges), he’ll be subject to a fine or a suspension from the league office.

Maybe Spencer's case is being resolved soon. Anywho, I don't anticipate this will affect Spencer's on-field duties.

Doubt that.

He'll get a fine -- I doubt very much a first offender gets suspended.

Has Stallworth been charged?

 

[jterrell]

I expected all along for him to get punished.

It will likely be a single game.

 

[jterrell]

Has Stallworth been charged?

He will undoubtedly miss some games when charges are handed out and the case gets settled.

Spencer is much farther along in his legal process than Stallworth.
