Not at the table Karlos Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) I can't say that I'm surprised. I hope the report that a child was shot isn't true. If it is prayers going up for a quick recovery. Can't wait for Bengals fans to start making excuses for him.

Gregg Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 As punishment Burrow, Chase, Higgins, Boyd, and Mixon should be suspended for the entire 2023 season. Same for the HC who is pretty good.

H2o Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Said it from day one, this guy shouldn't be in the league. Ray Rice was blackballed for knocking his wife out, but Mixon gets drafted and rewarded with millions of dollars. Now his wonderful persona rears it's head again in the last few weeks. Charges that were "dropped" for menacing, like we were shocked to hear that happened. Now this, a juvenile gets shot in his home. These things aren't just coincidence. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I don't understand why these players act this way.

Alphadawg7 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 There are conflicting reports on whether or not Mixon was actually involved. If he is, then he will be done in the league forever and will be facing jail time. So I could see how people close to him might be trying to cover for his sorry ass. This is going to be interesting to see how it unfolds. There is a cell video on Twitter that claims it was outside his house where you can’t see him (it’s night and too dark) but cell phone picks up the gun shot sounds and it was like 10 gunshots. If that is a legit video, firing 10 shots at an unarmed minor and striking him in the leg is going to result in some significant jail time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 The issue with Mixon’s video knocking that girl out is that it was while he was in college. NFL currently can’t discipline players that did something prior to being employed by the NFL. Tyreek Hill was another guy who saw his draft stock fall but still got drafted despite beating up his pregnant girlfriend. Not saying I agree with the rule, because I don’t. But until that rule changes, which I doubt the collective bargaining agreement would allow that change, it’s just the sad fact of the NFL. Teams could choose to just not draft or sign them, but sadly there is always going to be teams that will take the chance when it’s a talented prospect. Which is why POS like Mixon and Hill still get drafted. If the NFL is intent on giving kids a second chance to grow from their mistakes, then a better way to handle this would be to strip them of their NFL eligibility for at least a year (or even 2 years) where they have to do things like reform classes and complete them before they can apply for eligibility again. And even then, they would not be allowed back in the draft and would have to enter the supplemental draft or get signed as an UDFA. This gives kids a chance to learn from their mistakes still while also making the path to the NFL much harder and longer for those who screw up to where they need to earn it. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
