Santonio Holmes and James Harrison why both never suspened?

[MDCowboy]

Forgive me for this long rant, but living here with these Steeler idiots is unbearable.

Stay strong brother, stay strong

classless what harrison was last night

 

[tyke1doe]

means the NFL in terms of punishment policy they treat a arrest and convition the same in terms of punishment...

they did not for Holmes or Harrison. why

I don't think that's right. There are plenty of cases where an NFL player is not suspended upon arrest. Maybe the team does it, but not the league.

And has been stated, Pacman had a specific agreement with the league that he would not visit strip clubs or be in any way involved in negative publicity. And he violated that agreement.

I'll tell you why Holmes and Harrison didn't get anything in way of suspension from the NFL...because the Steelers are a bunch of scumbags.

Anytime crap goes down with a player from any team it always makes the radio. I remember hearing about the Harrison disturbance earlier in the year and then it just "disappeared." Last nights beat down on Francisco by him must of been him having flashbacks of his roid rage on his girlfriend. And he should have been tossed.

I had not heard of the Holmes possession arrest, but that's pretty interesting they missed the Lebron chalk clap celebration in the end zone. Usually refs are all over that crap like a cheap suit.

Steelers always seem to get by on crap. Hell 53 Seahawks still have a police report on file for stolen jewelry from SB 40.

If Jerry wanted to, he could buy us a ring, and I think that if we are going to get any help from the zebras it will be next year or the year after in our new diggs.

Yet, someone like TO gets vilified for antics that are not illegal. Something is wrong with this equation in my book.

the sad thing is TO is getting vilified more by cowboy fans. im suprised nobody has said he was the shooter on the grassy knoll

BY the NFL

No one is mentioning this... Last link. his Arrest for weed this season? why didn't the commish come down on a multi time offender?

yet if this happened in Dallas he would have been banished forever..

Oh and something else that brushed under the rug..

OH check out what happened to James Harrsion earler this past summer...

yet something else invloving the steelers that gets brushed under the rug

I could give you guys more since I live here and hear about this stuff all the time...

yet NO ONE says a word about any of this?

discuss

I live in Green Bay. Same thing. Unreal the amount of stories that don't get attention and just get brushed under the rug as if they never happen. Things that higher profile players and their teams would get crucified for.

Lets just put it this way, Brett Favre, is not the national legend he is if half the stuff he's done ever got out. IMO he'd be viewed as one of the leagues all time bums, regardless of his play over the years.

The drugs and alcohol with him, we knew about it YEARS before it ever received national media attention. And only thereafter was he getting coverage for his "hero" move of kicking the bad habits. And too boot, this stuff is only the start of where his issues were.

Move on, a handful of players, mostly WRs over the years, and their known marijuana "associations". Nothing. Squat. Apparently the national media just doesn't care. Nor does/did the NFL.

And then you don't even want to know all the domestic abuse charges we've heard about over the years. Supposed "high-profile" players too. Yet, no high-profile exposure when instances like these came up.

That's because you are so "loyal" to a player that you can't seperate criticism from hatred.

It was Favre's TE best bud that should go down as the biggest Packer scumbag. Wasn't he the guy who was trying to nail his underaged baby sitter?

must got me confused with somebody else. im a TO fan but ive also said if he gets cut so what. theres always others wrs in th nfl.

i just dont buy the crap that 1 player can divide a team. ive just never seen anyone thats so connected with charities and the community be villified as such a bad person.

 

[cowboyjoe]

the refs are in the back pocket of the steelers, the giants and the patriots.

just look at their game and how they get away with things

Title of the thread should be "suspended"...
