News: Joseph Randle facing discipline by NFL for violating personal conduct policy

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Even so, he met with the league in the summer and they are only just now deciding to punish him?

Luckily the guy is little more than a scrub but I agree the timing is suspicious.

Nobody knows about CM. 8 carries will do that.

Yup.

You need to give him 25-30 carries per game.

Bad timing for Randle, he's already in the doghouse at Valley Ranch and now his past catches up with him. I do have an issue with the league taking it's sweet time in investigating the issues, but that is not a knock on the legitimacy of the allegations.

He'll get two weeks unpaid vacation and allows his back/rib injury to heel. *shrug*

 

[StylisticS]

Why are people shocked. I thought many knew this was going to happen.

This.

Screw criticizing timing. Had he been a good boy back in February, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

As Woody's Girl pointed out, this goes back to the incident at the hotel in Wichita. Took the NFL awhile to complete its investigation, but the suspension relates to weapons and conduct. Thankfully, it doesnt relate to domestic violence.

They're two separate issues. Both can be criticized.

Yes, this might actually be good timing in a way. We're carrying an extra back, McFadden earned a shot at being the lead back and most of us want to see more of Michael to see what he can do.

Please, league, force the Cowboys to have to sit Randle for a couple of games.

This dude is a clown... Take off that Jersey son you don't deserve to wear it. Yo C-Mike you want a new #?

Might as well tell Greg Hardy to do the same.

Because apparently the NFL now thinks that having firearms is a personal conduct problem. Unless it was illegally owned or he was waving it around (I honestly don't know, I didn't look too much into the case and it was awhile ago)?

For those that have Randle on their fantasy teams...


pfffft.

Anything for choir boy.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Why now? The NFL sure is slow with its investigations. They can say they were doing their due diligence, but the timing is suspicious.

Also, I wonder if Randle already knew this when he "disappeared" yesterday.

 

[Kevinicus]

How is that a defense of Randle?

I said you can criticize Randle's behavior/problems, but at the same time you can look at how the league handles things and criticize that too.

Anything for an agenda.

Average talent & not deserving of the silver spoon the team continues to feed him with.

 

[Daillest88]

we need a pro at his postion, McFadden is a good character guy and showed some toughness against the giants. was robbed of the pass TD I think him and cmike are the perfect duo mix in rod smith. peace out Randle. you have had way to many chances.

Putting two and two together from a few articles I've read (if they're accurate...never know anymore), it looks like he did know and that, more than anything, prompted him to leave early. I know it's easy for me to sit here behind a keyboard and criticize, but I just don't get these guys that react poorly to stressful situations. He took a bad situation and made it worse, IMO.

 

[Gadfly22]

Well, this announcement helps make sense of the bolting from VR and the unnamed "other" upset that was behind the tantrum. Randle got demoted AND got the news about the league investigation, maybe within hours of each other. That convergence of bad news doesn't excuse his temporary disappearance, but it does help explain it better.

Good gosh Joey

LOL at the sig. If that is @BrAinPaiNt don't let him see it.
