[quote=ethat001;919770]Blackmon was dumb & this was a bad way to start. However, he's about 20 years old and just got millions of dollars. We ALL KNOW they're going to parties. Maturity is something that comes with time and allows for mistakes along the way. I'd wait to see if this was a repetitive behavior before busting his chops.

An example of repetitive behavior = smoking pot after getting caught -- again and again...[/quote]

I don't know to what lengths you'd go to define repetitive, but this is his second DUI in less than two years, and this one is aggravated on top of that (aka his BAC had to meet a pretty high qualifier). Coincidence? Maybe. But he's certainly laying the foundation for the "repetitive" part of your argument. If this one doesn't qualify as repetitive surely the next one will.

Aggravated had to be .15 and he was .24, three times the legal limit. Sounds like someone needs a baby sitter. Sucks for the Jags. Just think about what a fire media storm it'd be around here if we had drafted him and he did that.

I'm guessing he wasn't aware of his prior offense.

2 DUI's in less than 2 years definitely = pure stupidity on Blackmon's part. Not a good way to start your NFL career. Someone call this guy a cab.

Re: Around the NFL...Offseason Style
 

In most states the second DUI had mandatory jail time.

Yeah that's my bad, I was confusing him with someone else.

Haha.. My bad, missed that part. Clearly this was then.. repetitive. Hope he learns, but clearly he has an issue at this point..

[quote]"I am making changes in my life so I can continue my career as a professional football player," Owens said in a statement released on his own website. "I have hired Jordan Woy as my new agent. It was important for me to hire someone who believes in my ability to help an NFL team and believes in me as a person."

Rosenhaus declined comment.[/quote]


Should we start the suicide watch soon?

Re: Around the NFL...Offseason Style
 

Rosenhaus is the best, he gets people jobs that otherwise probably wouldn't get a job, and T.O. has a problem with him? Sounds more like Rosenhaus dropped T.O. as a client cause T.O. is not living up to his billing. It's either T.O. is not working hard enough to stay in shape or his body is just wearing down. Either way Rosenhaus couldn't get T.O. to fix his issues and probably dropped him.

Re: Around the NFL...Offseason Style
 

I put this in the Redskins OTA's because people were probably closely watching that thread. I'll put it here as well though cause this is the rest of the league thread.

It's looking more and more like the end is nearing for Terrell Owens. He's had a magnificent HOF career. As far as Drew Rosenhaus, I've never heard agents dropping clients. usually it's the other way around. I wouldn't say Rosenhaus is the best in the business. I think Tom Condon would have something to say about that.

Ouch. Then again, with that type of coin, you don't need to be having sex with a 15 year old.

Interesting. I suppose that they are attempting to instill in the young Redskins players a winning attitude. Who better to do it than two players who have a combination of five Super Bowl rings.
