Anthony Spencer to be disciplined by league

[bbgun]

WG posted a link saying that the league, not the team can dole out punishments for drinking crimes

Well there goes my "put yourself on probation" scheme.

Well there goes my "put yourself on probation" scheme.

no worries, I thought the same thing when I 1st heard Jerry say that he was waiting on the league to do something

 

[CF74]

Wasn't there a resisting arrest charge?

 

[Ren]

I'd like to see a list.

of the top of my head right now

Marshawn Lynch for his little hit and run last year, Kareem McKenzie DUI, Matt Jones for his drug adventures last offseason

 

[Yeagermeister]

Jerry should learn from the Pacman debacle and discipline Spencer himself. If he waits for the league to take action, he may not like the results.

Jerry wanted the draft pick. :laugh2:

 

[Doomsday]

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

I agree, there are tons of players who did much worse and didnt get suspended.

for drunk and disorderly conduct according to Jerry Jones

don't know if this has been posted yet

Good... :clap2:

 

[joseephuss]

The NFL was going to suspend Pacman no matter what Jerry did. Jerry did the right thing. In fact Pacman did not deserve a one game suspension by team standards. He did deserve it by his probation standards he agreed to with the NFL. I bet if Jerry had suspended Pacman that the league still also would have suspended Pacman.

looks like Ellis is staying for sure now.

And he never was going anywhere. They aren't going to go short on the most important position on the team except maybe QB and I can argue that. Besides last year Ellis was better anyway.

:bang2:

I'm not falling for that HANSEN!!!

 

[jobberone]

I think it was better for Jerry to wait on this one. I don't know all the circumstances of the arrest. Could have been a few words to the wrong cop or he could deserve a lot worse than a game or so. I was hoping he didn't deserve a suspension but oh well.

lol

that guy in your sig, Vinnie Jones, I saw him on TruTV assault a guy in a bar, in a hallway by the bathroom

You sure? Cause I got some Mike's Hard Lemonade in my trunk.

He doesnt deserve to be suspended if this is all he's ever done. Many other guys have done worse and have received no punishment at all.

Knowing the bias of the league office, he'll get 4-6 games or something ridiculous like that. Anything other than a fine (again, if this is all he's ever done) is b/s.

Santonio Holmes - busted with pot
Jamal Williams - DUI
Lance Briggs - DUI and filing a false police report
Kevin Faulk - busted with pot
James Harrison - domestic violence

none have been suspended

I think there is something to the Cowboy paronia

 

[dcfanatic]

Doubt that.

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

I agree.

 

[WoodysGirl]

Santonio Holmes - busted with pot

legal process ongoing. Waived preliminary hearing 02/26/09 - http://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...fbn-steelers-holmes-marijuana,0,4463788.story

per the article - The penalty is up to 30 days probation and a $500 fine, he said. Coach Mike Tomlin deactivated Holmes for a game following the traffic stop.

Jamal Williams - DUI

Just arrested 02/09 - legal process ongoing

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/chargers/2009-02-03-williams-arrested_N.htm?csp=34

Lance Briggs - DUI and filing a false police report

doesn't look like he was suspended, but fined.

from ESPN Article - Although coach Lovie Smith has said the team will not discipline Briggs, the league is looking into the incident.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2994880

Kevin Faulk - busted with pot

suspended 08 season opener - Link

James Harrison - domestic violence

charges dropped, no discipline merited.

none have been suspended

see above

Anthony Spencer was arrested in January. You guys should know the wheels of justice churn slowly.

 

[DBOY3141]

Here's the problem I have with Goodell, he has always stated he will take action to clean up the image of the league. Who cares if they are guility or not. Bottom line we all know how the legal system works, if you have money you will not be punished as ordinary citiizens would. So Harrison's wife/girlfriends drops the charges, what a surprise. The league still looks like a bunch of thugs/criminals in the eyes of many people.

If arrested and charged you should be suspended.

Pacman has never been found guility of anything yet he has missed 20 something games and he should have because he makes the league look bad.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Sounds like a fine or 1 game suspension coming up for Spencer, what a dope.

:bang2:

 

[Vintage]

Too bad he didn't play for Pittsburgh for New England.

Agreed.

Its a shame he doesn't play for Pitt and Woodley doesn't play for us.
