As usual some fans say it's no big deal.

They say it happens all the time so it's ok to happen.

They say it's not like he killed anyone so it's ok.

They say it's not like he was supposed to be practicing so he's allowed to be out drinking and then throwing punches at bouncers because he's too intoxicated and doesn't want the party to end.

They say whatever they need to say in order to downplay this is as a non-event and that it doesn't mean anything at all so they are in some way being a 'good fan'.

Yet I wonder if Jerry Jones and the NFL feel the same way?

I wonder if this means he has to have meetings now with the NFL about the incident? I wonder if it now means he has to be put into the NFL's alcohol treatment program in order to appease them? I wonder if he's now 'on the radar' for potential idiots in Dallas next season who will see him out and think he's the perfect target for a quick scam?

I wonder if Anthony Spencer is sitting at home today just brushing this off as 'nothing' or if he's talking to his lawyers and wondering about all the stuff I mentioned above?

You don't think Jerry Jones would rather this not happen as he is trying to get this team back into the public's eye in some positive manner?

Some people can't wrap their mind around the scope of these things and how it has an affect on a multitude of things that will happen in the next few weeks and months.

Wake up folks, it shines a bad light on the Cowboys, period piont blank!!!

Anthony Spencer arrested

Calvin Watkins E-mail News tips

Second-year outside linebacker Anthony Spencer was arrested at 3 a.m. Sunday morning for public intoxication and disorderly conduct in Indianapolis.

Calls to Spencer and his agent Roosevelt Barnes were not returned.

More details from the Spencer arrest. Off-duty cops told Spencer and his friend Matthew Millhouse to leave the club and were told no. When Spencer was told he was going to get arrested, he said, "who cares, go ahead."

Spencer used profanity toward police officers as he awaited for a transport wagon to take him to the station house.

Cowboys officials were not available for comment. Spencer's arrest now subjects him to the NFL's conduct policy where he could get suspended or fined.

Matthew Millhouse, who is described as Spencer's agent, is not. He's a friend. Roosevelt Barnes is Spencer's agent.

He deserves to be suspended. This is unacceptable. Dallas needs to take fast action.

The amazing thing is Sphinxer is described as a former Purdue player and very later on we learn his on this team called the Dallas Cowboys.

What homers. Whereever this is from.

LOL

*sigh*

Anyone else, outside of a few players, just kinda fed up with this particular Dallas Cowboy roster?

I've never seen so much arrogance from a group that has accomplished exactly nothing.

I was telling a buddy of mine at the end of the season that I suspected Spencer as being one of the players on our team that could be a problem.

Not necessarily a trouble maker in the lockerroom, just not a hard worker and one of those guys not willing to pay the price to be a champion.

The way he responded to getting treatment earlier in training camp and then in the middle of the season always bugged me. He just didn't seem very motivated to get healthy and by now he should be a full time starter.

This incident really concerns me, because I've got a feeling Spencer is one of those guys on our team that is in it for the $$ and doesn't play for the love of the game.

I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect I'm not.


Maybe because, no matter how good he played, he knew he would have to take a back-seat to Greg Ellis and his whining...

Can't get healthy, how you gonna get on the field? Then he turns in 1.5 sacks?

Any reason for him not playing is all his own.

He was playing run situations, not passing downs. Even wade pointed out that he was the best one on the field in the Giants game. He was taken out on 3rd downs for Greg Ellis in obvious passing situations. It was absurd for that to even happen, considering Spencer's bread-and-butter is getting off the line of scrimmage incredibly quick. He had amazing stats for tackles behind the LOS hi senior year in college. Spencer has never been known as a person taht doesn't dedicate himself.

Greg Ellis needs to be gone.. The organization needs to stop being wish-washy and play Spencer as much as they can...

I would agree big time with your point khiladi EXCEPT that the guy can't stay healthy, isn't dedicated to getting himself healthy, AND just got arrested for public intox. He can't be trusted: plain and simple.

Leave him alone. Its a rite of passage, a bar room brawl. He's young and monied and big kids sometimes get in trouble.

He'll do better now that Wade has promised to do better.

But if it's Tony Romo playing golf with his gf's father - what a bum!

:rolleyes:

Interestingly enough, sarcasm does not work against police officers. Go figure.

Cut Terrell Owens, Jerry.


If you cut the iselfish player, the players might fear getting arrested.

It's one thing to be intoxicated in public; it's another to get arrested as a result of it.
