26CornerBlitz Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 @RapSheet #Giants K Josh Brown has been suspended for the first game of the 2016 season for violating the @NFL's personal conduct policy. Didn't know Brown was getting a game for DV: @DDuggan21 Suspended Giants kicker Josh Brown was arrested on domestic violence charge in 2015, per @JamesKratch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) What's interesting is that no one can point to a police report, 911 call, arrest report, anything. This should be public record somewhere. For all we know, the "DI" could be him shouting at his woman in a mall. Not to make light of DV at all, but you used to need some kind of proof to suspend someone. Googled this and all I can find are anonymous reports of allegations rumored to be occurring supposably high up in the NFL. Not one hit for "Police respond to DV incident involving Manny Lawson".

YoloinOhio Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Here it is @bytimgraham Public records show Manny Lawson was arrested for disorderly conduct/domestic violence on 2/17/2014 in Scottsdale, AZ. Story to come. Records show charges were dismissed by the city attorney on 11/17/2014, perhaps after completion of a program. Can we still blame Rex? Marrone ran a loose ship yo.

Beerball Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm guessing you are right then, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Manny Lawson is either lying or Graham's source is skewing the facts though. Lawson clearly stated the only thing that happened was his injury. "Oh yeeaaaah, that incident!" won't cut it. PFT said it occurred last season, so, everyone is telling the truth even as they are, potentially, lying through their teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) PFT said it occurred last season, so, everyone is telling the truth even as they are, potentially, lying through their teeth.two seasons ago. And dismissed. They are going to suspend him 2.5 years later. Alrighty. @bytimgraham Additional records show Manny Lawson entered a plea deal end entered into a diversion program. Interesting - this was prior to the new DV policy. So likely the reason for 1 game vs 6. But wtf took so long?

Captain_Quint Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 two seasons ago. And dismissed. They are going to suspend him 2.5 years later.

YoloinOhio Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 PFT said last offseason.the incident occurred February 2014 though Or... @bytimgraham Not trying to be cryptic, but this particular incident might not be what he's being investigated for.

Beerball Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 the incident occurred February 2014 though If Graham has the correct information then yes, that is correct. The link I posted says last season. That may be correct or incorrect. In a day or two we will potentially know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Updated PFT story @profootballtalk Report: Lawson was arrested for domestic violence in 2014, charges later dropped http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/08/17/records-show-lawson-was-arrested-for-domestic-violence-in-14-charges-later-dropped/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 If he was going to be suspended for that, it would have been during the 2015 season. And according to Graham's twitter feed, the charges were later dropped by the city attorney, and someone tweeted that that means they weren't criminal charges.

Freddie's Dead Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 So they're going to suspend Manny ex post facto when the charges were dropped? C'mon man. You didn't suspend Marshawn for his DUI after his charges were dropped. The NFL is really being absurd here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proof is in the pudding. Now i bet you're expecting me to provide the proof after saying that but this is where i have to let you know that i saw an opportunity to say "the proof is in the pudding" and i took it because I've always wanted to say it and never did before. I still don't know what the hell it means. If it's pudding, then aren't the ingredients all mixed together? How can you get the proof out of it? Is it like taking the lactose out of milk?

John from Riverside Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Doesnt it seem a really weak reason to try to give Manny ANY type of suspension? Charges dropped It was 2 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Wouldn't this be retrospective? If it's the 2014 incident? Seems a bit odd. Wouldn't they have to suspend every player before then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm scanning through this thread and sounds like no one has a definitive answer to whether the 2014 incident is the cause for the possible suspension. Maybe the reason Manny is stating we're working through it is if it was before the new policy, maybe they are negotiating behind closed doors with the NFL to just pay a fine or something. Who knows?
