He needs to talk to Cris Carter, and watch "A Football Life: Reggie White and Jerome Brown" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome_Brown Jerome Brown lived a crazy life also, a very talented football player in his day.
Again, you can't punish somebody for not breaking the law. Stop with the gun already, that's like saying Sheldon carried a banana with him that day. It's his right, you can't punish him for having a gun, I don't care how the league looks at it. The weed thing is a gray area, but even if the league decides to punish him for that you can expect the NFLPA to go after them. If not then I'd expect Sheldon to somehow to go court and sue the NFL. And there was no "endangering the welfare of a child" like I said. Legally he'll have to worry about speeding, resisting arrest and running a red light. And the league won't have a case when it comes to the gun or the weed. You can't pin that on him. You can tell him to stay out of these situations where he's got people smoking weed around him, but you can't accuse him of smoking weed again and suspend him for that reason.
Congratulations! Your life is in order. I don't give two shits about you and your life. If you are happy with it, then keep it going, but mind your fucking business when it comes to the lives of others. It is not your burden or any of your business. You talk about you and what you were able to attain by a certain age. Be happy with you. No one wants to be you, but you, baby. Another thing. Why would anyone take the media word for word. Don't you know all newspapers sell sensationalism?
Stop jumping into the middle of the conversation. Not that I should have to spell it out to to you , but I will: 1) The league does not need a case to render discipline ( you can't punish somebody for breaking the law!) Yes they can. 2) The weed thing is gray, but considering he's already serving a suspension, it's "more probable than not" he was involved. If he wasn't he should be suspended for stupidity for being in those situations. And again, the league CAN suspend him for stupidity. 2) The league can render discipline under their personal conduct policy, without the player having been arrested or charged (see Roethlisberger) 3) Sheldon was arrested and charged however 4) How can you say there was no "endangering the welfare of a child" when reports say he was? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...ldon-richardson-charged-with-resisting-arrest Less than two weeks after the league announced a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, Jets defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson was charged with resisting arrest as well as endangering the welfare of a child in O'Fallon, Missouri. You are entitled to your opinions, but if you want to jump into my conversation mid-stream, please at least have some facts.
Im sorry but I have to say this …… http://nypost.com/2014/12/22/jets-richardson-upset-over-killings/ he was so upset about the ferguson situation - now look at the example he's setting out in the streets of missouri speeding and endangering lives, getting pulled over with a loaded handgun - and under the influence. I guess he wasn't that affected by the killings, not only are his actions a terrible example for young black men looking up to him - Getting pulled over in those circumstances could have resulted badly - ...and im not talking about racist cops with bad training and itchy trigger fingers - from initial observations even the most level headed, experienced, black cop would have been on edge…. putting cops in that position is not a smart thing to do - sheldon could have wound up in a terrible situation - Terrible judgment
He should team up with Jennry Mejia of the Mets and start a training center for schmuck athletes. They could call it "The Institute for Off-field Deportment" or I.O.D. for short.
Well for starters, he didn't kill anybody. And as for moral superiority? How about Br*dy & Bel*chick both abandoning the mothers of their children and your owner whose wife while still lukewarm in the casket takes up with a gold-digging tramp who's 40 years younger. Not to mention the high recidivism rate when it comes to cheating. Wicked swing and a miss Sparky. on-topic: Like it or not, as has been mentioned, you can't get anything near value in return for Richardson at the moment so kill any thoughts of trading him. Only thing now is to see when this guy can get back on the field. As a person, this guy's dead to me. I'm more concerned with how this impacts the Jets, the team. Brad, point taken and yes we've all pulled crazy stunts as 'yooths' but, loaded semi-automatic handguns?..and 143 mph with a 12-year old in the car? Sidebar: about the car: this guy (with no 'NFL' health guarantee) drops 240k on a Silver Spur during his rookie contract? Another short-sighted move. The guy should've continued his solid play, then cash in when his contract comes up and buy the big-boy Bentley, the Mulsanne. Bentley Silver Spur (Richardson's model): Bentley Mulsanne: or if he want to go gansta, wait until the 2016 launch of the Bentayga SUV and have it tricked out. What's up Missou? 2013: Sheldon 2014: a man and his wife 2014: Shane Ray
Apparently you missed the point - When you put others at risk, it is not somebody's personal business - driving 140 mph puts a lot of people at risk, hence we have laws. It seems you are in favor of a lawlessness and anarchy over having a civilized society. People dismiss this as immaturity or obtaining too much at an early age, I merely gave life experience as a FACT that you can have material wealth at a young age and not be a fucking MORON. I chose to sell my business and become a teacher as I care more about society and do something meaningful over a bunch of money.
He will end up in Jail. So long... Before that happens, perhaps he can do something productive like help us win a Championship.
Bzzzt .... if you're going to blame Rex for this, then you have to blame Belichick for Aaron Hernandez committing murder. You can't. Richardson (like Hernandez - and every other player in the league that commits a crime) is an adult that cannot be babysit by the team 24 hours a day. Not to mention, Rex isn't the Jets head coach and this didn't happen while he was the Jets head coach - if you want to blame the guy running the team, you need to blame Bowles (and the GM who's name I can't spell).
Fuck you Richardson.. I was looking forward to you tearing up the AFC east this season. Have a nice long vacation. Hopefully you figure your shit out at some point and GROW UP.
He didn't "beat the shit out of" his wife. He hit her once ... as she was running at him, angry and with a raised fist. That's self-defense and he has absolutely zero obligation to let her physically attack him without protecting himself, simply because she's a woman (or his girlfriend). The prosecutor knew he was not going to be able to get past the assertion of self-defense, and that's why the charges were dropped. This is many, many times worse than what happened in that elevator. Modern day society may think it's perfectly acceptable for a woman to act like an out-of-control physically abusive a-hole without repercussions (the end game of the feminist movement - we now treat women as being unable to control their behavior), but the actual law says something completely different. That is why Rice was suspended, but not prosecuted.
It's not defending him to note he did not crash the car. He might have insufficient regard for human life as I would see it, but it's a bit much to say he has none. The gun was legal. Your including it in your "indictment" shows you are going too far.
Just because the gun was legal doesn't really mean shit. I know several people that have conceal carry permits and none of them would drive a car with the loaded gun under the floor mat or seat of a car while driving - extremely poor judgement. The gun could easily slide into the back where a 12 year old was sitting. I would not call that responsible gun ownership. Let's get real here. The dude is a 350 pound monster, he doesn't really need the gun for self defense or anything.
