Toney by all accounts is much smarter than he looks and acts, and he hasn't gotten into any legal trouble since beating in the NFL, so I might have to go with him. [Reply]

It's all a bunch of horseshit.
It's just completely stupid that people care, dude is not your friend. It sucks that he'll get suspended but as long as he's back for the end of the year and the playoffs, oh well. [Reply]

It just proves the draft is somewhat of a crap shoot. Some guys can grow up, and can handle the fame. And some simply cannot
Travis was very immature when he first came into the league. He's def come a long way.
However, Rice just entered the league. So that's an unfair comparison. Give him some time. People make mistakes. We don't know if Travis never drove drunk in his drinking days, he may have just never got caught.
This assault charge doesn't seem too bad. Plenty of players have done worse and still had successful careers. Let's wait and see what happens w Rice but hopefully these are just immaturity and he will grow out of it. [Reply]

This kind of shit happens every single day in college and gets swept under the rug. Consistently... [Reply]

It is my understanding that we didn't get rid of Hunt for the criminal acts, we got rid of him for lying about it to Clark Hunt. If so, as long as Rashee is straight with the Chiefs about what happened, he could be kept in the hopes that he can be rehabilitated (I hope). [Reply]

No the lesson to be learned from Kareem hunt is that despite major scrutiny and claiming he was going through anger management, he lied, went to public drunk ragers and kept getting into fights. He went to Cleveland where he shockingly got into another damn fight. How are people ignoring this? Kareem had major anger issues that never went away. The browns picked him up for peanuts and Dorsey pissed off a lot of people in the league for it. Unsurprisingly the same organization that traded the moon for a rapist
And just like Kareem hunt, rashee is a guy who should have a shred of common sense to lay low. And instead despite the harshest of NFL penalties staring at him he goes out drinking (and potentially causing problems).
How the hell is the lesson in this that the chiefs should just brush this shit off versus recognizing both of these guys were given a second chance and completely blew it (allegedly). [Reply]

Because at the end of this, no one will care? [Reply]
Am I on my own here or is it not surprising that an NFL player would start fights or punch a guy? Hs the overton window moved so much that football players starting fights is now some horrible crime?
Didn't T0dd C0llins use to start fights with bouncers at bars like every year at training camp? [Reply]

Most guys who run as violent as Kareem Hunt does have anger issues. You got to take the good w the bad sometimes.
Some of you want to watch a violent sport then expect all these guys to be perfect off the field. That's never gonna happen.
At the end of the day - this is football not ballerina dancing. I think the league understands that which is why they usually don't come down too harshly on a lot of these guys.
Long as Rice learns from these two incidents he should be fine.. [Reply]
