I know some may not think this is a Jets topic, but I think it goes to everyone being on the Jets nuts, past the point of hypocracy...... Lets see if Dungy has anything to say about his buddy Raheem Morris's decision....or more important if Costas or someone with some balls on NBC even bring it up and put his @ss on the spot...... TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Williams didn't practice after his arrest on a driving under the influence charge early Friday, but coach Raheem Morris said the rookie, who leads the team in receiving this season, will travel to San Francisco and play Sunday against the 49ers. Williams, a fourth-round draft pick out of Syracuse, was arrested after Florida authorities spotted his black Escalade speeding and weaving in and out of traffic around 2:30 a.m. Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies said the 23-year-old's eyes were glassy and he smelled like alcohol when they pulled him over. According to a breathalyzer test, Williams had a .065 blood-alcohol level, which is below Florida's 0.08 percent legal limit. The receiver was released on $500 bond. Authorities can conduct a DUI investigation if they see signs of impairment and make an arrest regardless of blood-alcohol or urine tests, sheriff's spokesman Larry McKinnon said. Williams, who has started every game this season, also submitted to a urine test, but McKinnon said the toxicology results could take 4 to 6 weeks. "I'm very disappointed about the decision he made to be out late, and the worse decision he made to have a drink and drive," Morris said. The coach added that after "gathering all the facts," he made the decision to allow Williams to travel with the team late Friday. "He will be disciplined. But it won't have to do with playing time," Morris added. "We'll deal with it internally, like we always do." "I'm very pleased with his ability to be cooperative and not be disrespectful and make this thing even worse than it could be," Morris added. Williams, whose stock in April's draft plummeted because of questions about his character in college, leads the Bucs with 40 receptions for 627 yards and five touchdowns. He's first among NFL rookies in receiving yards, second in receptions and tied for first in receiving touchdowns. Williams was the 101st player selected in the draft. He might well have been picked earlier if not for an academic suspension in 2008 and another off-the-field situation that led to him leaving Syracuse with three games remaining in the 2009 season. The 6-foot-2, 212-pound receiver has quickly established himself as a go-to target for second-year Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman. Morris said Williams had been making progress toward leaving questions about his character behind, adding that he hopes the young player learns from his arrest. "It's disappointing because it was old news, and now you rehash and you've got to talk about it again," Morris said.
dot dot dot if you read what Dungy was saying, anyone who drives under the influence, which he was, should be suspended.
He wasn't legally drunk. .065 is literally like maybe 2 beers in an hour. in contrast braylon edwards was legally drunk and blew a .16. .16 is pretty fuckking wasted + he was driving around his teammates and others so Braylon bears extra responsibility for his stupidity. the 2 situations are somewhat different.
No, they aren't. Dungy was bitching because he was under the influence. Williams was under the influence. It dosen't really matter how much he had, what matters is that he was driving unsafe enough that the police pulled him over.
Dungy's logic suspends a .0004 BAC. No one gives a shit because this is not a high profile player on a high profile team. So it causes people to turn a blind eye to it. That causes me to tell the media to eat a dick. I hate the media.
The standard the Jets must adhere to regarding....well....everything > the standard other teams must adhere to
Sorry but I do not think Tony Dungy is an idiot. I think the man is close to Great American status. That is all.
Lol .065 is 3 beers for me in an hour. That is not drunk. The fact that he had to pay 500 dollars is absurd. In NY if you get pulled over and take a breathalyzer test and you have a .065 the cop says have a nice day.
LOL!! I'm not a troll as I understand the meaning of trolldom. In August 2007, President George W. Bush appointed Dungy a member of the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation.[32] The 25-member council represents leaders from government, business, entertainment, athletics and non-profit organizations committed to growing the spirit of service and civic participation. The two-year appointment requires attendance at two in-person meetings per year and quarterly phone conversations with assigned committees. After receiving the call from President Bush, Dungy remarked "It was something that was really hard to believe. Certainly, when you go into football coaching, you’re not expecting to get presidential appointments to anything."[32] In March 2009 President Barack Obama invited Dungy to join the Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.[33] He declined the invitation to join the council because of scheduling conflicts, as he could make only two of 2009's four council meetings, but agreed to be an informal adviser on fatherhood issues. (Wikipedia) Why would back-to-back Presidents appoint an idiot to serve?
Because name one person who isn't an idiot that would serve on the "faith-based partnerships" council.
I'm not even trying to be funny. I honestly believe Tony Dungy is a good man that serves his community well. I don't understand the Dungy hate around here because he is a role model to many. I guess haters are going to hate.
It's your entire shtick. You clearly don't come in here to talk football, nor do you take any discussion seriously. And you still haven't told us why you were asked to speak to a bunch of HS football players before a big game.
He gets hated on because he picks and chooses who to hate on. And moe often than not, it's the Jets. He dosen't like that we are brash and loud mouthed.
I've just been working under the assumption it was one of those "scared straight" things where they bring in prisoners.
