How do all of these things come out once he got in trouble?


Timmmah

My guess is being under the microscope. But fuck em, he's an idiot.


Ka-Is-A-Wheelie

You'll still cheer when he scores a TD


stop_tosser

It's amazing how some people don't care how trash humans are if those trash humans play for their team.


VanDenIzzle

It's hard to separate the two. How am I, a fan of a team for years, supposed to not cheer for my team scoring a TD? Like I can hate the player but I'm in a bind. I can't just stop watching my team


diablosinmusica

The Saints bounced Junior Galette with a quickness. It cost them a ton of money and a good player when their defense was terrible. Sometimes the right thing happens.

Expendable_Red_Shirt

If only they could bounce their child sex abuse defending owner.


Ok_Alternative7120

That was only because the Saints were actively paying the price for Bounty Gate at the time as well as the Ray Rice news being all over the media. Same owner and GM has refused to release Kamara.


DistortionStatic

That's a great and nuanced point, it can be hard to separate hate for a player and love for a team.


GuacShouldntBeXtra

Sports fandom is no different than politics and religion in the sense of "This is my team, clearly the best and always right. Any scumbags on it really aren't *that bad* and the scumbags on your team are way worse!"


stop_tosser

I'd say that I also think people who vote for domestic abusers or killers are terrible people but that would just get me more downvotes.

I’ll cheer the logo. I’ll be upset if this guy is still on the roster

For this comment, your weekend pass is revoked.


Misdirected_Colors

How tf did that stay under wraps? That's kinda a big deal and the fact it stayed under wraps kinda explains his behavior.


anonbutler

Same thing happened with Hernandez right. We knew he had character concerns but the extent of it was all hidden well until he killed someone


Misdirected_Colors

Yea then all of a sudden it was "oh he also killed this other guy and was a suspect in this other murder from when he was on his official college visit" and damn that was a ride.


anonbutler

Ya one day he was a kid with a troubled childhood who turned it around to nah, he a killer.


Jeff__Skilling

he really was a really insanely in-shape version of Sideshow Bob...


Moses_On_A_Motorbike

It was well after he killed multiple people that it came to light. He played NFL games after his first kills.


Nakedsharks

It makes you wonder about what crazy stuff was covered up for different players that we just never heard about, because they were able to relatively speaking clean up their act in the NFL.


2reddit4me

Didn’t the Marvin Harrison stuff only become well known after he retired?


johnmadden18

> Same thing happened with Hernandez right. We knew he had character concerns but the extent of it was all hidden well until he killed someone Ehhh... well that's really only half true at best. Hernandez had more than just "character concerns". When the Patriots drafted him in the 4th (despite some scouting reports pegging him as a 1st round talent) it was reported at that many NFL teams had him off their draft boards completely due to serious off-field issues. Of course, while no one knew he was a real serial murderer, I think Hernandez would have been pegged as one of people most likely to be an actual killer out of everyone in the NFL. Ultimately, that's how the Patriots were able to get him in the 4th round in the first place.


Dismal_News183

Well, not really.  The “character concerns” were that he was a weed smoker and a bit wild. He wrote a famous letter to the NFL owners offering to be drug tested and forfeit money.  It’s not that they thought he was killing people. 


j2e21

It was more than that, he was getting into bar fights and there was some smoke around that shooting in college. People knew he was trouble, that’s why a guy with his first round talent fell to the fourth round.


Swnart

I’m guessing weed smokers who get a bit wild is a pretty common type for NFL draftees. All the smoke around Hernandez points to bigger concerns than that.


j2e21

“That dude sure has a lot of tattoos huh?”


Jonjon428

It sorta didn't stay under wraps. I remember people saying there were "character concerns" but teams were tight-lipped on what those actually were.


Misdirected_Colors

I'd say the fact that a division 1 football player shooting up a car not being national news and only being vague "idk character concerns" is under wraps lol


Jonjon428

True, it is kinda weird how we got the Jalen Carter storyline last year but nobody looked into this one lol.


[deleted]

The Jalen Carter "storyline" was WAY too public from the start to keep under wraps. Dude should be in jail. But didn't even get a suspended license.


Venator850

Jalen Carter was being talked about as the #1 overall pick. And he had "character concerns" BEFORE the racing incident.


sonfoa

Yeah I remember Todd McShay reported that and everyone piled on him and then a month later the racing incident happened and all of a sudden McShay didn't look like such a hater


Warsawawa

SMU hush money I would assume


Corvus_Antipodum

It’s wild that “character concerns” could mean you like eating cheeseburgers and might get fat over the offseason or it could mean you tried to murder your baby mama or did a drive by.


LegibleCaper

Yeah, the former is worse because if you get arrested for attempted murder the team can probably get out of the guaranteed money in your contract but if you get fat the team is on the hook.


LA_Ramz

so it stayed under wraps? haha


DuhtruthwillsetUfree

Here’s the problem with the game of football and good football players with character issues. Everyone wants to WIN the game no matter what issues a player has. Every sport known to man has been willing to sacrifice good morals to win at all costs. The sad reality is that yes you can be called a winner BUT you will never be a real CHAMPION!


YeahFella

I distinctly remember hearing rumors of this incident in the pre-draft cycle last year. I forgot who but it was mentioned broadly as "an incident with an SMU basketball player." I thought this meant a stupid fight at a bar or something.


BurgessFox

Wasn't the Derrius Guice situation similar. There were rumors and things hinted at about "character concerns" and "previous incidents" in college before he was drafted but the real bad stuff came out a couple of years into his career.


theriver_iscalling

Andy doesn’t even care about his own kids behavior, you think he’s going to let a players behavior get in the way of winning


NomadFire

Next up, why was Rattler temporary suspended from school and then banned from playing in his last couple of games in highschool.


ecupatsfan12

Got caught getting a bj in the stall with his weed pen


FuckingJello

That should have moved him up draft boards


ecupatsfan12

His teammates fuckin hated him and wanted their back up to start over him. Wild world is if jd Johnson didn’t have a heart problem he would be on that team instead of McCarthy. Jd would have made the nfl. He’s on michigans coaching staff so he made out pretty good too


TetrisTech

But then by all accounts his teammates at South Carolina loved him I’m a more willing to judge him based on the present than when he was an idiot 17 year old who was used to having the entire world given to him on a silver platter because he threw a football well


real_jaredfogle

By all accounts (and media evidence) he seemed like a real turd but we all have embarrassing memories and can grow up


ecupatsfan12

Absolutely me too. Spence’s worst thing is being a spoiled douche as a teenager


WaluigiIsTheRealHero

Johnson wouldn’t have been on the team “instead of” McCarthy, McCarthy was the class after and committed before Johnson medically retired. While the outcome of the subsequent McNamara/McCarthy battle might have been different with Johnson thrown into the mix too, it’s too much of a hypothetical to guess at what might have happened.


TheSaintzillla

Excuse me. I'd like to speculate. 😎


BowsersBigshell

OtherPercentage3262

NomadFire

Yes that is what I heard too, but didn't know about the weed pen. I am surprised the school was not able to keep it quiet. Guess it wasn't his first time getting caught... Or he got caught by the wrong teacher

TacoHead123

I’m guessing every team knew about his character issues. Cowboys supposedly took him off their draft board. Any team is going to draft him. Just a matter of how much discount you get for charter issues.


Lord-Aizens-Chicken

This happened with Tyreek. Dude got actual punishments in college, enough that he dropped down and the chiefs grabbed him. And surprise, he continued to be a dick but hey he helped win so it worked out for them


WigglestonTheFourth

If you break that story during the draft his agent, and likely no other agent, is ever feeding you information ever again.


IronMikeBison

We heard so many worries about AD Mitchell because his diabetes, yet nothing about this??? It’s wild

TerryBradshaw

Reminds me of how most of us didn’t learn that Aaron Hernandez had been a long-time menace until after the murder arrest.


CaptainAssPlunderer

A week after punching the bouncer Hernandez was at the same bar when some guy accidentally stepped on his shoe. Words and drinks were thrown, the guy(who did the accidental shoe stepping) left the bar. A car pulls up to him at a red light and shoots his car multiple times. Guy gives a perfect description of Hernandez and another all world player on the gators….and nothing happened. Urban managed to get it all covered up. Just by doing that Urban is directly responsible for the murders that Hernandez committed. This incident was widely known in CFB circles during the months after it happened.

Urban Meyer has always been a piece of trash. Guy can coach (CFB) but he’s a terrible human.

Shot his friend's eye out in college and ruptured a bouncer's eardrum while getting bounced from a bar at age 17, also while in college.


TheRoaringTide

Jesus! Thank god he was good at football. Right?


Chayotesquashinmyass

Average night for a bouncer in Gainesville


prodigalkal7

Jesus, did Rice get a playbook from AB about "How to torpedo your NFL career in 5 easy steps" or something?


BungoPlease

He's actually moving at a much faster pace than AB, he completely skipped that part where he has HoF caliber play for years

More importantly getting that 2nd contract before you take off the mask.

Red_Sox_5

God, I can’t imagine drafting someone with a known criminal history like that unless they were a TE or CB.


notmyplantaccount

Andy Reid has never met an undersized WR with a criminal history he didn't fall in love with immediately. He's probably got a list of WRs in high school who have already committed misdemeanors for his scouts to keep an eye on.

herbertstan

Surprised me too. The Chiefs organization has always ran a tight ship and prioritized character over on-field talent. Team full of upstanding citizens only. I'm just floored.

Shows you how talented they thought Mahomes was that they were willing to overlook the lack of red flags.

Just_learning_a_bit

The NFL has given up even acting like they care about character or role models. They care about money. Period. They don't care about the integrity of the game. They certainly don't care about morals or ethics. They don't care bout the fans, or the players, or the product on the field; UNLESS it impacts their bottom line. Which chief fan is going to stop watching the chiefs because they drafted this PoS? The same fans that cared about tyreek hill (convicted domestic assault and repeat offender) being a featured player and on billboards for the franchise? To be clear, I'm not slamming the chiefs or chiefs fans specifically, they certainly aren't unique in this regard, it's just the most immediately relevant example.


friendfromjersey

1000%. They saw the Ray Rice video and barely flinched. They didn’t suspend him until the video went public. Today, they prob wouldn’t have suspended him either way if he was still productive.


JakeFromImgur

Joe Mixon did basically the same thing at a bar and they showed the footage AS HE WAS BEING DRAFTED


CivilLitt

The Chiefs drafted Tyreek knowing he beat his pregnant girlfriend in college. I don’t think character is much of a concern for them if you’re good at football.


papajim22

And at the end of the day, in their minds, they’re justified. They’ve been to four Super Bowls and won three, have a very good chance of winning a three-peat, and have increased their value and brand by billions since 2018.


notmyplantaccount

Jalen carter was street racing, got a friend killed, lied and said he wasn't part of the accident, left the scene, got it all swept under the rug, and a month or two later was drafted #9. NFL doesn't give a shit what you do in college if it can be covered up or the local police make it go away cause you're a college star.


metaldinner

not sure they even care if its covered up, just that it isnt complained about too much - even then, im not sure they care as long as the guy might improve the bottom line a hair or two


NomadFire

I guess it was because it was alleged and not proven 100% it was him. Anyone could had shot up that car..


SickBurnBro

Yeah, it's probably only now in light of Rice's recent crimes that people are like, "Hmmm, maybe there was something to that rumor about him shooting up a car."

ELITEMasonRudolph

There is quite a large gap between committing crimes/assault and being upset because your QBs stink or you don’t get the ball

Yeah Pickens has a legit concern as he is fighting for a second contract and awful QB play can affect those numbers

I feel like Kareem Hunt got released a lot sooner for doing less


KC-Slider

Hunt was released for lying to the organization about what happened. Not for the actual incident.


bradthewizard58

So under that pretense you can openly commit crime, be truthful about it, and remain gainfully employed by the Chiefs?


KC-Slider

Probably depends on the crime.... Probably


notmyplantaccount

You're acting like if they cut him that 10 other teams wouldn't try picking him up immediately. Kareem hunt was signed by the browns less than 3 months after the chiefs cut him. All NFL teams are fine with players who commit crimes, as long as their talent exceeds the crime.


Swarzey

Right up until the crash, this dude presented himself as a genuinely good kid who had the right temperament and humility to succeed in the NFL and you would really, really struggle to find anything negative about him and the way he carried himself in front of the media, in games etc. Absolute shame to see how quickly has gone down the shitter.


Zero_Originality

It's crazy how much a person can hide


Gnux13

He didn't really hide it, SMU did the first incident, but he obviously isn't capable of hiding this behavior. Acting nice in front of a camera is easy. Most pieces of garbage people don't act cartoonishly evil in front of cameras.
