Matt39 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Just to play Devil's advocate, why are we bringing in a "known idiot" in the first place? Braylon is a decent WR1 who was brought in to be a weapon for Sanchez. Now that we have Holmes too, lets hope he stays out of trouble so we can unload Edwards at the end of the season. Rex falls in love with talent first, character second. I think he's learning pretty fast though, you cant have too many idiots on one team. They got rid of Kerry because of it.

Jetsfan80 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I could not agree more. Some of you are crazy! Once he scores a TD and makes a crazy catch next week this will be and should be forgotten. We knew that Braylon AND Santonio were NOT getting new contracts at the end of 2010. So if Santonio plays like the stud he is and stays out of trouble, who do you think gets let go? It was always going to be a "whoever plays the good soldier AND produces gets the contract" situation between Edwards and Holmes. This could help make that decision easy.

Boozer76 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 No one said he was an "eagle scout" and let's not jump to conclusions with "we never would've heard about it crap" and could've, would've because of what happened with the Suzy Kolper BS... BE is a POS...Namath never was when it came to the TEAM. It's not that the DUI's happened and no one heard about it. It's that they really weren't that frowned upon nor enforced back then. If Namath was pulled over for drunk driving in his era he would have been told to sleep it off in the backseat at the very worst. Hell my father, who was born in 1955, used to tell me tons of stories about him getting pulled over drunk when he was in his late teens/early 20's and never got a ticket. One time a cop had him park it on the shoulder of the Verrrazzano bridge and sleep it off. The cops threw his keys in the front seat while he was sleeping. My grandfather crashed over a guard rail and flipped his car while drunk in his day. He went to sleep in the upside down car and was found a couple hours later. When the cops woke him up he had to convince them he was even driving (they didn't believe him because he was sleeping across the roof of the back seat). Even still he never got a ticket. Point is while I agree what Braylon did was childish and selfish, you can't compare the standards that players are held to today to the old days. It's a much diffwerent world, and a much different NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I'm saying man! A "KNOWN IDIOT"...what exactly makes him a "KNOWN IDIOT"? That he beat up Lebrons little friend who you know was most likely talking sh*t too. Doesnt make sense...he's been nothing but a great player here, few drops here and there but that happens. Known idiot makes no sense, hope he's back on the field scoring TD's soon so all the "known idiots" jumping all over this guy can move on from this, cause you know you will.

What's hilarious about them? Its the truth. .16 to one person is completely different than another. And to most adult males, .16 isnt stupid drunk. Accusing the guy of being a murderer because he made a mistake and underestimated how tipsy he was...is just that, a mistake. He could have stopped drinking two hours earlier, tried to recover and then drive. No one knows the details. He deserves to be punished by the team, and then allowed to play the following week.

Thats fine if it makes it easier. But the truth of the matter is he makes us a better team now, this year. From what I hear, including Steve Weatherford today on 1050 saying he has been a great teammate and a hard worker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty drunk dude. .16 is the same universally, it's the amount of drinks it takes to get there that varies. .16 isn't oops I crapped my pants-wasted but it's still enough to hurt someone else on the road.

These are the same people who will be jumping out of their seats when he's catching fade routes in the enzone and doing the dougie on opposing teams CB's haha Or the 40+'s with no sense of humor who cry a river when he gets a 15 yd penalty.

According to New York law, if you blow over a .08 you are drunk. Yes, I realize that and he deserves to be punished, which he will. Its the overreaction to Rex having zero control over the team because ONE player makes a stupid decision to drive after some drinks was what I take issue with. Also, Braylon didnt hurt anyone other than himself, so lets no pretend that he did. What could have happened didnt happen luckily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I've been saying, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. A DWI counts as a violation if a Cleveland judge says it counts. We have someone on this board who knows Ohio law fairly well and I'm about to start posting Macho Man videos if he doesn't tell us what's the norm here. The fact that it was in a different state probably isn't going to matter from a decisional standpoint, only a jurisdictional one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Driving drunk is illegal in all 50 states. Isn't that enough to say that its wrong, or do we really need to get into a moral/ethical debate about it? Its stupid and irresponsible, especially when we're talking about a millionaire athlete who can BUY a limo company if he wants. No, he didn't kill anybody, but is that where we're drawing the line these days? I haven't killed anybody but I generally think I'm a bad person (along with most people). Either he's dumb or proud and neither are good attributes. Yuck, can't believe I'm agreeing with TX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
