BillsFan4 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 It's a shame. He's sooo talented on the football field. I hope he gets his life together off the football field. Im guessing the 49ers will offer him whatever help he desires. Hope this was the wake up call he needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfod Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) That is to bad really. You really don't want to be 10 years down the road thinking about the life you could of had if you didn't get messed up over a woman and allegedly owning automatic rifles. Your in a position to have a better life then a lot of people and bank a lot of money. You don't need to get stupid over one woman. Stay calm and just go get some strange my dude. If I was talented enough to make that kind of bank I think I'd quit smoking pot. If I had a woman problem I'd just move on to all the tram that threw itself at me. Being in that position has to leave a dude with options. Edited February 12, 2018 by Lfod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been perfect for this D on talent alone and a great value at 27 if you just consider that. But, the red flags were too obvious to use a 1st rd pick. He had a shoulder injury too, and we were fresh off the Shaq Shoulder debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estro Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I remember watching highlight films of Ragland after we drafted him and noticing all the plays Foster was making. Then I watched this clip of film on ESPN and thought to myself.......Nah, wouldn't want this guy on my team. Dumb enough to smoke pot 2 weeks out from the combine that comes with the lame I drank too much to get to weight excuse. You know how else you can gain weight? Eat a **** load of steak and ice cream if you want to pack on a few lbs. The amount of water you have to drink to hgave a diluted sample is absurd. Also dude got in a fight with a nurse at the hospital....a fight that was so disrespectful they sent his ass packing...... Not surprised at all.

I thought assault rifles were perfectly legal to carry around openly these days. Maybe he had it under a blanket in a car, so he's charged with it being "concealed"? Edit: I looked it up and apparently in CA all sorts of semi-automatic weapons that are legal in neighboring states, are illegal without a special "dangerous weapons" permit.

I hope he has a good lawyer; Aldon Smith got off pretty lightly The saying goes hell hath no fury like a woman scourned. What started as a domestic abuse turned into suspicion of automatic weapons. At some point you have to walk away from a toxic relationship. That sweet girl at the start can turn into your worst enemy. If your in a relationship that can't be fixed when it goes bad, just leave before it gets ugly. I'm wildly speculating but I've been around long enough to know about people in relationships and when the girl had enough she turned the guy in for anything and everything. I'm not sure what the outcome is for this guy but he's getting attention in the wrong ways. If he makes it out semi decent he should probably lay low and just focus on milking that NFL money if still possible.

GreggTX Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I forgive a lot more than most when young people get into trouble with the law, but I draw the line at violence and not just against women and children. It's not ok to use violence against anyone for any reason other than self defense. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Foster is black and you used "they" twice to refer to whomever you're referring to suggests you're simply dealing in stereotypes. Do you believe that being involved in/tolerant of organized crime is part of the culture of Italians in NY/NJ, too? Maybe Foster's bad behavior stems from being raised in the southern football "culture" in which talented football players, white and black, are given passes for all their bad behavior. I'm sure it's a big shock when some pampered SEC players realize that being "on the team" doesn't exempt them from obeying the law.
