Williams has been the best front 7 guy over the past 6 weeks. Let’s hope this is a big nothing.
As I understand it (but don't live in Texas so the law could be different) a court can issue a misdemeanor arrest warrant for certain crimes such as reckless driving. Basically, the police likely have determined that Williams was at fault in the accident (after the fact) due to his negligence (reckless driving) and as such a warrant is issued so they can serve him the citation.

Like I said let us hope it’s a nothing. Pay the fine. walk away.

team always with the distractions smh
Yup. I remember @America's Cowboy jumping up and down when I was saying. Great another kid with issues in the second round. And look. Playoff week and he causes a distraction.

I still wish we went Jermaine Johnson, Trevor Jones, Tolbert and Salyer. And i stand by that. This defense would be unstoppable.

Athletes are generally stupid, egotistical morons. Give them a little cash and some get stupid real quick.

He's lucky his speeding/reckless driving didn't cause serious injury or even kill someone.
Are you an athlete?

The police in cities like Plano, Frisco, and Flower Mound - cities that are rich with low crime rates - are the biggest *****es in the world. It's all the little dweebs that were picked on in high school, but couldn't hang being a real cop in a city with real crime.
As someone who lives in Frisco, I can assure you these are the roughest neighborhoods in America

I saw a person walking their dog this morning, and after she picked up her dog's waste, she put it in the wrong bin.

Absolutely brutal

Where ya'll live must be much more hardnose, because around here you don't get court dates for traffic tickets.
Court dates are often for challenging the ticket if you want. You are given the option of paying the fine or attending the scheduled court date to fight the ticket.

To stereotype athletes in one lump is pompous. Like all of his other posts trashing players and fans here.

Maybe it's different over in Plano but to do that here you show up to traffic court, no "court date" is set, other than they hold traffic court on certain days. You show up, wait your turn, talk to the judge. But you only do that if you want to plead not guilty and it is AFTER you are issued the ticket.. Otherwise you just pay the fine.He hasn't even had a chance to do that, unless there is something we don't know.

It's basically the same thing. Who knows how Plano works but up here, instead of generic court dates for traffic violations, the cop just puts a specific court date on the ticket.

We see it with athletes for 1 simple reason, they are in the spotlight. How many young men go out and do stupid crap every day of the week but they are no body and no one cares. It is dumb and foolish I will not argue that
