Point being many of us did stupid crap when we were in our early 20's, the bottom line is you either learn from it and grow or you're doomed to a life of suffering and misery. I sure hope and believe this was a wakeup call for Puka and if it wasn't you better believe things will only get worse for him. He already cost himself some money and doubts about his maturity.

Good example. More local and recent. Although Kupp wasn't the Playboy type like Puka and Derek. Was a family and religious man from the get-go. Maybe not a great example.

Hmm what's wrong with that lolz. Or are you just trying to say Kupp is kind of an outlier?
Actually, I'm pretty sure Puka was raised in a very religious home. But as we all know, kids who grow up in "religious" families don't always stay that way as adults & sometimes they try to get in everything they "missed out on" as teens. I wouldn't say his case is hopeless, but it's not trending in the "right" direction.
Lots of athletes have crazy lifestyles, and get by in the NFL without going completely off the rails; it's just that, as a team, we're heavily dependent on his contributions & his chances of avoiding a future suspension based on a bad headline or two don't look good.

Wait, do you think I'm slamming Kupp's way of life??? I'm just saying Derek Jeter is a better comparison to Puka Nacua than Kupp is/was. Kupp wasn't out on the town looking for trim.

I'll say this, Puka displaying poor judgement along with lack of maturity and Davante's age almost guarantees that the Rams will be going WR early in the draft and may even double down at the position.

McVays gonna want a new toy. I’d be shocked if they don’t use that R1 pick to get an offensive weapon (R1.13 pick, later R1 pick from trade down, trade for vet WR).

Heck, Cooper Kupp did it perfectly, and WAS Puka’s example.

Kupp is gone, and so is Aaron Donald. But Matthew Freakin' Stafford is still there and Puka should start learning from him. Stafford, like Donald and Kupp, are not only All-Pros in football but in life as well (at far as I know anyway).

I will say his luggage kind of bugs me. 4 suitcases is kind of crazy. If you're a guy you should have a backpack and one duffle tops.

Unless it's a business trip and you need a garment bag for suits. Now, you can have them as a carry on, however, if you fly on smaller jets because you are traveling to an isolated area, you have to check that because there is not enough room in the overhead compartment. Like on American Eagle for example.

Den is a Metrosexual! He starches his boxers and has 12 pairs of pleated Dockers in his closet, organized by color tone!

…Back to Puka. His lawyer’s letter is well and good. I am on Puka’s side and this all blowing over. But playing devils advocate with my non-law degree- a competing attorney could just produce another “eye-witness” saying Puka did make such anti-Semitic comments, (Though reprehensible, who even talks that way? Does that sound like anything someone actually says? Sounds totally made up, in order to get someone to pay you to not go public) and if Puka way passed out drunk, the attorney could say his recollection is not reliable, because he “blacked out”.

Puka needs to keep in mind, Stafford and McVay makes him great not the other way around.

I think this is partly true but I can't go all the way with you on this. Puka is a star in this league in his own right and would be on any team, IMO. Top 3 WR in Football
