jetfuel Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'm not one of those people who assumes guilt just because of an accusation or because the newspaper makes it seem that way, but I did want to share this. Somebody must have cursed the Bengals about 5 years ago or so. Bengals LB Brooks accused of punching woman Associated Press Updated: May 2, 2008, 1:49 AM ET BURLINGTON, Ky. -- A woman has accused Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Ahmad Brooks of punching her in the face last month. Brooks was ordered to appear June 6 in Boone District Court on a complaint filed this week by Destiny Rosich. Based on the complaint, prosecutors charged Brooks with fourth-degree assault, a misdemeanor that carries up to a year in prison. Rosich's complaint said Brooks got into a loud disagreement with one of her neighbors in nearby Florence on April 9. When she tried to intervene, Brooks punched her in the left eye, temporarily knocking her unconscious, the complaint said. Police were called to the scene but didn't witness the alleged altercation. Rosich was told she could file a complaint. A Bengals spokesman said the team had no comment because of the preliminary nature of the case. Brooks missed most of last season with torn groin muscles. The Bengals took him in the 2006 supplemental draft, shortly before linebacker Odell Thurman began serving an NFL suspension that would last for two seasons. Brooks played three seasons at Virginia before being kicked off the team. Last month, the Bengals released receiver Chris Henry after he was arrested for the fifth time. Henry was one of 10 Bengals players arrested during a 14-month span from 2006-07. Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press This story is from ESPN.com's automated news wire.

BroadwayJ667 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I guess that answers the question of who was the next bengal to get in trouble so are the bengals hypocrites? are they going to follow their self imposed zero tolerance policy and cut him or sweep him under the rug?

jetfuel Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 and people complain about being a jets fan. at least they've won a superbowl, what has cinci done, hopes dreams and 923 arrests over the last 4 years In all fairness, in this case, Brooks has NOT been arrested. A complaint was filed. Being that the police were on the scene and they did NOT arrest him makes me believe that there is a good chance this is bunk. That said, his rep aint so hot. I'm holding off judgement but I would hate to be a Bengals fan the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSJets Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 The problem is that since it's the Bengals, people automatically assume guilt. If this happened to a player on just about any other team, most would be willing to wait until there is more to the story. But since it involves a Bengal, people assume the worst. Granted, they brought this on themselves by bringing in so many scumbag players, but I'm holding out hope that this guy didn't do this. If they're not careful the entire team will consist of Carson Palmer and a bunch of choirboys after they cut everyone else. IMO, Marvin Lewis needs to go. I know the HC can't control his players all of the time, especially off the field, but it just seems like he has no control at all. That needs to change, and they need to get someone in there that can mold the team as both football players and young men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJDidIt Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Are Brooks and Justin Miller related? Isn't it a shame when players break the law. Remember when that quarterback named marino used illegal cocaine in the 1980's. That' just wrong. I think he speaks out today about the need for drug testing. So not only does he break the law. he is even worse...a complete hypocrite! What a proud dolphin tradition following in the footsteps of that bitter old cheat Don 'let it rain' Shula!

I'll tell you this one more time, Marino was never busted doing blow. The rumors you speak of are just that... Rumors. There is nothing to substantiate your claim of Marinos' drug use. Besides the guy retired almost 10 years ago... Let it go dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your trash talk is boring me. I'm still waiting for my link. I'm in awe that you linked Marino with Henry Hill. That's some imagination you have there OJDidit. Don't you think that IF Marino was doing blow (and that's a big if) he would have had a pretty easy time of finding it in Miami, instead of going through the North East mafia, as you claim.

A well known user of large quantities of cocaine in the pittsburgh area probably could have gotten his supply from another dealer who was willing to take on Henry Hill's group and their enforcers. I'm sure they wouldn't mind competition in their main distribution city. Grow up man and take the wax out of your ears. BTW, don't tell me you think your team will win in week one do you? haha. I'm flying to vegas and i'm gonna make more in 3 hours on the jets ML than you fish fans make in 3 months. bwaahahaha. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is people like you who will keep the point spread/money line reasonable by throwing away your money on the dolphins side. Thanks again buddy!
