Whiners meltdown continues

[TheDYVKX]

He's done. It's going to be at least a year or indefinite. He's a terrific player but he's an idiot.

 

[Athos]

Hit and Run?

Send his ass to jail. I feel embarrassed as an MU fan.

Secondly, goddamnit. These guys are making Mizzou look like crap. If our guys aren't terrible or average(Coffman, Daniel and so many others.), they're either drama hounds(Michael Sam) or huge assholes(Richardson and Smith) I wonder if that'll start negatively affecting future Mizzou draft picks.

J-Mac is a standup citizen AND super talented. Brad Smith is one of the only guys in NFL history to score in, I think, every conceivable way possible. Justin Smith never had legal issues.

It won't start affecting MU draft picks. Tons of other guys from other schools have done far worse and kids keep getting drafted from those schools.

Some people are mature when they are drafted. Some just aren't and never reach it.

Firstly, inb4 the move to the criminals thread.

Well, we've still got Maclin, Britt, Ealy, Gaines, Golden, Hood, Moore, and a nice handful of other players in the NFL. I suspect we still don't hold a candle to Miami for talented psychopaths coming out of our program.

Don't forget Otis Smith, he wasn't too shabby either. Too bad he had to and get Patriot stink all over him.

You and DCH reminded me of a lot of guys I had overlooked. Guess Mizzou isn't looking too bad after all.

This really is a sad story. This guy just can't get his head straight. I don't know why he can't learn his lesson. But he should lose some significant time. And being the last year of his contract, is it possible his career could be over? He's extremely talented, but is he worth the hassle to put up with a guy who can't stay on the field due to his own dumb decisions?

A friend of mine is a legit alcoholic... to the point where he needs to be medically restrained and overseen if he dries out, because otherwise the shock could kill him. I've seen alcoholism cost him everything in his life - his wife divorced him, taking their two kids; his company that he started had to fold while he was in prison for violence during a drunken rampage; he's living god-kn0ws-where with god-knows-who somewhere in another state.

Addiction is very real, and very powerful. I have no idea how one can defeat it. AA certainly doesn't help.

And let's not forget.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Ah, yes. I shall come together with my hands for him.

 

[Angry Ram]

George of the Jungle!!!! This was my first favorite live action movie!!!

This made my day!!!

 

[Memento]

And let's not forget.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

And Shane Ray.

 

[Moostache]

Unbelievable.

I think NFL suspension is the least of his problems now. He better be investing in some soap on a rope...in bulk.

 

[Billy Baroo]

Ha! Smith, Bowman and Reid were the only players left i was worried about. Scratch one off the list.

Which Smith? Justin retired. Bowman may never be the same.

 

[bwdenverram]

ALL i can say is WOW!!! he will be getting a nice 4-6 game suspension at least.

Hit and Run- It won't be a suspension, dude will be behind bars if it's true.

What a freaking moron.

 

[Billy Baroo]

And they supposedly were concerned with Robert Quinn's medicals in 2011??

 

[LosAngelesRams]

Which Smith? Justin retired. Bowman may never be the same.

Aldon, I know Justin retired. Bowman had alot of time to recover so well see.

 

[Ozoneranger]

One word: Uber.

My BIL, a huge Niner fan, expects the Niners to cut Smith. Then he's on his own, which is the last thing a young alcoholic needs at this point.

 

[dbrooks25]

Some guys just don't know when they're freakin' lucky!! All the talent in the world can't cure stupid. I would be more sympathetic if I knew that the NFL wasn't trying to coach players up in their rookie seasons as to how to run their lives, budget money, pick their friends, etc., and I'm sure the team itself is rife with advisers, psychologists, etc., to help give these guys every chance in the world of making it big.

Of course, I know that a couple of years being rich and privy to help might not always trump a lifetime in the hood, either. I sure wish it did, though.

Still, I had high hopes that this young man would have gotten his life under control. Darned shame that this is the result. At least if he gets a year's suspension I hope the Whiner powers-that-be make certain that he HAS to go to LOTS of classes in decision making and substance abuse. Of course, it probably won't be courses put on by the Whiners but by the California Penal System -- and that is a damned shame.

This just proves that he has a SERIOUS problem with alcohol. He has to be seriously addicted. It's stupid as hell that he he didn't go to the end of the Earth to get the help that he needed with his life and millions of dollars on the line.

 

[Akrasian]

Unbelievable.

He's 255 pounds of muscle, and used to dominating against huge muscular guys. I think he'd be one of the top guys in prison. No shower fears for him.

 

[Tron]

This train wreck of an offseason for the whiners just keep chugging along....is it bad that I am loving this? Hope this continues all season long for them!!

Don't get me wrong, hope Smith gets the helps he needs, but still doesn't excuse him of being a fucking huge moron.


* you guys forgot to add DGB to the list of fuck ups from mizzou
