Wonder why the actual knockout punch was never shown to the public? You just see the aftermath. I gotta feeling things would be a little different if it was released.

True, especially him. But quick take away for everyone is absolutely never drive around with it, its number rule if you smoke. You are asking to get arrested. The smell is way too strong, police are way to smart in ways of busting people. His stupidity is off the charts dumb

Jacksonville traded up to draft Blaine Gabbert in 2011 and traded up to draft Blackmon in 2012. Never thought a team could make Vinny look good but Jacksonville is really trying hard.

As for Blackmon himself, he has ruined his career and cost himself millions of dollars. I really dont get it. He is a very good WR, he just needs to clean himself up.

Big fan of DJ Hayden coming out, but his career has been an injury disappointment so far.

Is there something about this Ray Rice deal that I'm missing? Such as, his girlfriend actually beat the crap out of him and he just got one lucky swing in on the way down? Because getting suspended 2 games for knocking his GF out when other players get suspended 4 games for smoking weed once and indefinite suspensions for being a "repeat offender" is just mind-numbingly stupid. WTF is the NFL trying to say? "For all you kids at home, we believe that punching women is a better form of entertainment than smoking weed?" I don't get it.

Exactly! Maybe he figured at this point, it doesn't matter. Some of these guys think they're bulletproof.

LOL! I actually had a Ravens fan argue with me one day that Vinny Cerrato had nothing to do with the Redskins woes, that he was actually a really good GM who had an eye for talent. Pointed to what he did with the 49ers. :saywhat:

Just to point out, if you get caught smoking weed once by the NFL, its not even reported. Anyone getting a suspension for weed has been caught twice.

Also, I understand the NFL suspending players for off field issues. But the courts need to be front and center when it comes to spousal abuse. When we are relying on the NFL (or any other professional sports league) to police America, we have lost our priorities. If the state of NJ sent ray Rice to jail for a year, would anyone be complaining about a 2 game suspension? The courts have got to do more when it comes to these things.

Editing to add: The NFL still has to follow the CBA when it comes to punishment. Can the NFL actually suspend Ray Rice for a year? I could be wrong, but I dont think they could even if they wanted to. The players union has a role in this as well.

Somebody got paid. Can't believe TMZ didn't hump the right leg to get a copy of that.

Fair enough. Still man, it's [I]weed[/I].

I really hadn't thought about that side of it, but if the NFLPA wouldn't agree to year-long or indefinite suspensions for a player like Rice who copped out of aggravated assault charges, why would they turn around and allow those long suspensions for something minor like smoking weed? I don't know... I think the NFL could have done more.
