Twitter: David Irving Tweet' Suspension increase?

[Direwolf63]

It could also be that the Cowboys has implemented in keeping this players in check aren't working. Sure these people are adults and grownups. But they have never tasted success in their entire life before and now they have all this money and freedom - they just don't know what to do with it.

A little guidance and support from the team can help. The players don't know all the rules that handed out to them. Thats were the Cowboys FO need to communicate with them better.

At some point, these idiots need to take some personal responsibility.

The team cannot hold every players hands 24 hours a day.

I'm going to take the (possibly foolish half-full) other side and say he's just complaining about having to go to counseling and has to because that clause is the sword hanging over his head.

Please don't prove me wrong Mr. Irving.

 

[Stash]

Why do you say that? Not saying that it did happen. I'm saying the Cowboys FO and his agents are responsible to getting the word out to him about stuff.

Do you work for the Cowboys FO?

Where's his responsibility? Is he a child who gets dropped off at the field?

Is he incapable of being talked to and directly responsible for his career?

 

[ConstantReboot]

He and his agent have primary responsibility here. Not the Cowboys FO. Remember, I believe the front offices aren't even initially notified of drug infractions, the players and agent are notified first. I seem to recall up here in Philly when Lane Johnson got his letter he failed a test, the Eagles FO wasn't even aware of it yet.

Cowboys FO IS responsible if they want to portray a "RKG" type of atmosphere. Otherwise, they need to stop playing the public relationship game about RKG players.

For some reason their seems to be a disconnect with suspensions and the ability to communicate the rules. If thats the case the NFL, NFLPA, agents and even the owners ALL need to get their act together. Its not only the players that need to know all this stuff. I for one want to just play football and not worry about crap.

Wasn't his suspension for taking a performance enhancing supplement/drug/something banned?
Part of the suspension requires speaking to a counselor over a suspension for not knowing what drug the league is going to test you for?

Recreational drugs I can see it...but the league just looks like they are bullying guys who could actually not be guilty of anything more than not knowing 100% what's in the supplement they are taking.

Seems stupid for both Irving and the league.

I think you are right buy Irving's choice of the work "will" instead of "can" makes it sound like he has been informed of an increase. I just find it impossible to believe that him, his agent, and the team could ever allow that to happen. It's inconceivable to me.

 

[LucaBrasi]

There's a reason a guy with his type of ability was available to be plucked off a practice squad.

 

[jday]

Here we go again...

Please tell me he is not that stupid. Seriously?

Granted, the suspension was ticky tack to begin with. But the very nature of his appeal being overruled should have told him that they are just looking for reasons now to suspend Cowboys players. Why would you help them in their fairly obvious pursuit?

There's no greater insult in life than when stupid people can point and laugh at you. In the above reenactment of David Irving's decision making, David is the dead guy.

This just reads like excuse making for Irving if he indeed did screw up.

Here we go again...

It doesn't say his suspension has been increased....maybe he is just upset because he has to talk to a counselor when he doesn't really have a problem and doesn't have anything to talk about.

 

[ConstantReboot]

Where's his responsibility? Is he a child who gets dropped off at the field?

Is he incapable of being talked to and directly responsible for his career?

He's responsibility is to play football. If that is what it takes to keep players out of travel install curfews and have them get picked up at the bus.

Players aren't smart. They aren't responsible. All they know in life is football. So things handed down to them from the NFL is not clear. Too much legalize crap and jargon.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Zeke's punishment includes having to meet with a counselor, so it wouldn't be surprising if that is part of other suspensions.

 

[RoboQB]

I'm going to guess he also doesn't roll down his window when pulled over by the police either.

It's simple. You're caught. Now do their little dance and try not to make it worse. Smh

These players get that guidance. Counseling is part of that whole guidance thing. It's up to them to take it to heart. Being poor, lack of success is no excuse for stupidity. I was poor my whole life, when I was young and a good part of my young adulthood. Not saying I didn't do stupid stuff along the way but I never used poor as an excuse for stupid.

Doesn't matter. You go anyway.

LOL no excuses. But for the richest franchise in pro sports, I'm amazed and bewildered that they have nothing to show for when dealing with football player's personal issues.

They just throw them into the football field and expect them to act like gentlemen. Of course it ain't happening and it hasn't worked for as long as there was pro football.

 

[ilykdrama]

There is probably more facts surrounding this.

But if part of his suspension was seeing a counselor, I am not sure how anyone can lay this at the feet of the NFL at this point. It seems like it's a pretty standard part of any drug suspension.

That's what I'm infuriated with. It was probably a league mandated, "counseling meeting." That's it. If he didn't go to that, I hope they cut him. I'm tired of this **** with players.

Yeah I hope you're right.

Please don't prove me wrong Mr. Irving.

thats how i interpreted it. pretty sure if he had been suspended longer, he wouldn't have been the one to reveal that.

 

[superonyx]

Do we know that he isn't?

Is this him venting or announcing a suspension?
