JinWPB Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 So where is the punnishmen, the outrage. One would think after the DUI manslaughter in Miami last year the NFL would be taking a much harder stand on players drunk driving. Oh, I forgot, it is the media darling J-E-R-K-S.

Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 (edited) The reason there is no league suspension is that it falls under the substance abuse policy until he is convicted. "If Edwards is convicted on his DUI charge, or pleads no contest, he likely will be subject to the league's personal conduct policy and face a possible suspension, a league source clarified late Monday. Edwards currently can only be disciplined under the league's substance abuse policy, in which he faces a maximum fine of $50,000 under terms of the collective bargaining agreement." http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/news/story?id=5598872 I believe the fine etc. under the substance policy is due to it being his first offense under that policy. Also, your subject line sucks. Edited October 2, 2010 by Ghost of Rob Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Innocent til proven guilt IMO That's not how it has been recently under the reign of King Roger. I think this is how it should be handled. If a player is found guilty then punish him. Seems simple and logical enough. The BS with Pig Ben for example is ridiculous.

NaPolian8693 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 There are lots of DUIs in the NFL every single season. No one gets suspended for them ever. Get a clue. 22 players have gotten DUIs since 2009 when Rex took over. Not one of them got suspended. Here is the number of arrests, per team, in the AFC East since January 2009, when Rex Ryan was named coach of the Jets: Miami: 6 Buffalo: 5 New England: 1 New York: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Goodell and his PCP are a joke. After the Stallworth incident, first-time DUI's should be dealt with more harshly, just like how he gave Lynch a harsher punishment for his gun incident after the Burress incident (although interestingly enough, and this goes back to Goddell being a joke, Shaun Rogers took a gun to an airport and didn't get punished).
