Spencer breaks our non-arrest record... arrested outside bar early Sun

[5Countem5]

Get it under control Jerry before it snowballs into something uncontrollable...

Get WHAT under control?

 

[Clove]

I'm not going to bash Spencer for messing up one time. Spencer, unlike Barbie, has been a positive addition to the team. He can't help it if he isn't playing on third down. Spencer plays the run very well. He's a strong, physical player. He has all the tools to play opposite of Ware, and the knee injury in the preseason hurt him and the Cowboys. Having him cover kicks after a knee scope was asking for the hamstring injury. That's on the trainers and coaches.

The Cowboys need to part ways with Greg Ellis and cut Barbie Carpenter. Cutting Barbie sends a message to the team. Cutting Ellis, a perpetual complainer, promotes Anthony Spencer. Spencer was having a great camp before the knee injury, and he takes Ellis' job if Phillips doesn't allow Ellis' whining to factor in.

Spencer should fire his agent, and he needs to be sat down and talked to about his behavior. The team is counting on him. They have invested a #1 pick in him. He's better than this. He needs to grow up.

You must not have been a Cowboys fan too long, you're too rational.

Get WHAT under control?

Disorderly conduct off the field... I think Calvin Hill has done an admirable job of mentoring these players and it would really stink for all of his hard work to go for naught. It can start with one and build from there if you don't address it. We don't have to know about the disciplinary action at all. It just needs to be addressed in some way, shape, or form internally.

It doesn't have to be anything major... The point should just be made to the "team" that this type of conduct off the field won't be tolerated.

 

[5Stars]

Did he? If so, mea culpa.

Yeah, Wade was like, "Sorry...but I'm gonna have to fine you. 100 dollars. Sorry, really, I'm sorry"!!!


It was a pathetic showing on Hard Knocks from the head coach!

100 dollars?

Wade did not even raise his voice to Spencer! It was like "ah shucks..."

Officially, Spencer's agent is Roosevelt Barnes...at least it was at the time of his signing.

3:13 -- Alex Obomese is the starting left outside linebacker, at least until Greg Ellis gets better or Anthony Spencer signs. For those unfamiliar with Obomese, he's an undrafted free agent whose 14 sacks rank sixth in UTEP history. He was a second-team All-District 17-5A selection at Houston Westbury High. Roosevelt Barnes, Spencer's agent, must be smiling.

You are probably making WAAAAAAYYYYYY too much of this...

 

[Everlastingxxx]

Great time to be a Cowboys fan...really.

It’s 3 am and Mr Cowboy feels he can buy the bar. The Egos on this group is amazing, what exactly has he done?

 

[Bleu Star]

Like I said.. It doesn't have to be anything major and can be taken care of internally. If Wade is to really be taken seriously with his new "tougher" stance he cannot let little things like this just slide by.

 

[5Countem5]

This reminds me of the time Eddie Belfour offered a Dallas PD Officer a BILLION dollars not to arrest him ...

It was these blurbs from Todd Archer that confused me:

"Go back to Hard Knocks in training camp when linebacker Anthony Spencer blew off a rehab assignment because the power in his place went out. Phillips said he would fine him, but the coach said it with all the power of a substitute teacher.

"Spencer needed to be jumped at that moment. And so did rookie tight end Martellus Bennett for his eyebrow-raising toward position coach John Garrett. Set a tone so the young players understand what is and isn't unacceptable. Phillips expects his players to be professional. What if they don't know what that means exactly?"

Most of these guys are just kids, they need mentors, they need a father type coach. We don't have that here..

 

[jobberone]

BFD. I'm a lot more worried about him being a disciplined football player, knowing and doing his assignments.

 

[28 Joker]

When did screaming and yelling ever win a football game?

Phillips let Spencer know he made a mistake and fined him.

"We'll, I'm going to fine you". Wade Phillips

Yeah. No big deal. Let's just dismiss the fact that he was kicking someone's *** while intoxicated and possibly jeopardizing his ability to "be a disciplined football player, knowing and doing his assignments". If he can't make it to the field because he's serving probation who's winning?

This is a minor issue in the grand scheme of things but this is also Wade's golden moment to enact some of that "change" he preached the days following that *** kicking we took from the beagles.

He wasn't arrested for assault so he obviously didn't kick someone's ***. Agenda. Yada yada yada. I hope you're more forgiving with your kids.

Exactely!

Anthony Spencer is 24 years old. He isn't a kid. He has DeMarcus Ware. If you can't follow his lead, there is no hope for you. When you hire a coach, you don't look for "daddy". You can warn them and talk to them until you are blue in the face, but it is up to them to behave. You can't hold their hands.

The young players don't need bad examples like Pacman and Tank for sure.

DeMarcus Ware
Terence Newman
Bradie James
Jay Ratlliff
Marcus Spears
Chris Canty
Anthony Henry


Those are the players on Spencer's side of the ball that know how to behave off the field and on it. He has plenty of players to model his behavior after.

 

[Bach]

Well, Jerry and Wade said there would be change.

I guess no mister nice guys.

So what do you think Jerry and Wade should do re: this incident?

Quoting you, but the question's to anybody.

 

[Bleu Star]

He wasn't arrested for assault so he obviously didn't kick someone's ***. Agenda. Yada yada yada. I hope you're more forgiving with your kids.

Police say Spencer then threw punches at bouncers, pounded on exit doors and shouted at bar staff. They say he and Millhouse also argued with police officers who told them to leave.

Leave my kids out of any discussion on this board. Thanks.

Now about Spencer, he may not have kicked anyone's *** but are you saying that conduct should go without a word being said internally from coach to player?
