Dee4Life1893 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 In 20 years time history will look back on these suspensions and laugh. It really does seem the league wants these kids to turn their brains into mush for 10+ years while having zero fun. I understand screwing the nut for the season but they have the best part of 6 months that they should be allowed to have some fun within reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BishyTON Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 It's also legal in 2 states that has NFL teams That doesn't matter. Plenty of stuff on the banned list is legal. If you want to play the sport then you have to abide by the rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the full discussion. The debate wasnt that it was against the rules, it was over lichtie's point that he felt someone should face a year or lifetime ban for smoking weed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both banned substances so the punishment should be doled out for each. Whether a lifetime ban is appropriate for a second offence is arguable though. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is cheating and one is, at worst, giving yourself a disadvantage. I understand they should be penalised but a game or two ban seems plenty for recreation drugs, performance enhancers is much more serious 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strichener Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) On a more serious note, an absolutely shocking decision by the Colts to exercise the 5th year option on Luck. So unexpected that I had to read the article 82 times until is manage to sink in. Gives Andrew $16m injury guarantee in 2016. GO COLTS.

Panama Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Troy Polomalu announces his retirement. Hall of Fame in 5 years? Good move. He wasn't playing at the speed and wasn't as effective as he used to be. Best to go out before any more injuries and while still close to your best. A shoe-in for the Hall first time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelmen Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 never thought they would comes back with Murder 1, suppose the evidence saying he had the gun in his hand in the house was enough. on to the next trial of murdering 2 people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yank Mike Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 never thought they would comes back with Murder 1, suppose the evidence saying he had the gun in his hand in the house was enough. on to the next trial of murdering 2 people. His lawyers admitted that he was at the scene of the murder in closing arguments. For an acquittal the jury would have to believe that Hernandez didn't know the shooting was going to happen but then invited the shooters back to his house. Aso, the cameras showed him acting like nothing strange had happened. I feel bad for his kid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bad for his kid. i thought they would have come back with murder 2(or whatever the alternative was) being part of the scheme but murder 1 is the jury saying he did the shooting. don't think there was any chance of an acquittal especially after his defense team admitted he was there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Listening to Dan Wetzel who covered it for Yahoo sports, didn't seem much doubt in the jury's mind. The defence case was riddled with clear lies and Robert Kraft's testimony seems to have been a clincher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yank Mike Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I was fairly surprised that murder 1 carries a mandatory life without parole sentence in Massachusetts, but looking up the penalties by state it appears to be that way more often than not. My state's minimum sentence for murder 1 is 15 years. Mississippi, Montana, Nevada have the most lenient minimums for the top murder charge at 10 years. Of course those states all have the death penalty as the highest option available so you're really rolling the dice when killing someone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_punishments_for_murder_in_the_United_States Edited April 17, 2015 by Yank Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
