What part of "They did more than any other team has done for the last 22 DUI's" can't you comprehend?
How about this. Should Raplisberger ever be allowed to play again. EVER? He didn't drink and drive you know.
I also love this absolutely false argument that no teams have ever benched a player for a dui or other felony arrest /charge before. Newsflash: Players have been benched by teams for DUIs before. For example, Jack Del Rio had the backbone and the balls to bench guys for a dui and for other similar types of criminal bs.
You got that shit 100% right. Because of Hard knocks and the hype on this team, they got a microscope put on their asses that no other team in NFL history had to deal with. Braylon was an idiot and compounded that factor, but the Jets stood up and made a ballsy ass move that no one, as of yet, has called out and respected. These media cunts better get the jist of what exactly happened this week,.. because it was unprecedented in this league. The Jets set an example...and no one gives a fuck.
Can you possibly give an example? Edit: Let me add, cutting someone that wasn't making the team anyway does not count.
Dungy's full of shit. He is pro Michael Vick and never ever questioned Marvin Harrison or ever thought of benching him for his allegations.

DUI is not a felony. the guy gets his day in court. his just punishment will come from that. should you get penalized at work for a DUI? chances are your employer would never even know.
But the reality is that no team deactivates a key player in his first game after a DUI arrest. As Peter King pointed out during our Stanford-Notre Dame halftime stint on Saturday (the video is pasted below), the Dolphins didn't do it to running back Ronnie Brown, who was arrested in the offseason. Two years ago, the Giants didn't do it to tackle Kareem McKenzie.

Doesn't make it right, but they did something. I'm done with this shit now.
Why are you talking about suspensions? Thats covered by the NFL substance abuse policy. I am talking about benching a player. Other teams have benched players for various criminal charges and stupidity such as a DUI. The Jets simply choose not to do so here. IF they were honest about it that would be better than what the Jets did - pretend to do something by doing something totally meaningless. A complete load of garbage.
