OT 2018-2019 Rip City Two FANTASY FOOTBALL

Bad start to the fantasy week, Brees only 8 points.

 

...you might miss the playoffs now

 

He's fighting for a very important 1st round bye.

 

Yes, I am. I'm struggling down the stretch. I peaked too soon..haha

 

Who has Kareem Hunt?

Say bye bye...

 

?

 

Just watched that tape. It's already overblown. He shoved her once after she got up in his face, shoved a guy who ran into her, and then he barely kicked her. More of a tap with his foot. Not right at all, but he didn't "brutalize" her like the TMZ title says.

 

I agree. He didnt "brutalize" her.
But still a stupid stupid stupid move for him. He's gonna pay the price.
It happened in February. Why is it just now becoming public?
Interesting that its not a headline on ESPN.com right now. (edit - it is now)

 

Yeah and the fact he kept going too made it seem worse. Kind of a bad look for all involved, and he’s the one with the most to lose there, he’s gotta be smarter than that.

 

While I agree that the headline is dramatic, kicking a girl that you shoved once and shoved another person hard enough to injure both of them is inexcusable whether it is "barely" or not.

You can see someone from his crew ripping a cell phone out of a girl's hand to either break it or delete the video too.

 

If those other people didn't hold him back, it's kinda scary what he might of done to that women.

 

Yeah, it's crazy that people clearly recognized that he needed to back down and not get involved before he even did anything and he still was able to get to her. That is why the "he only pushed her" and "barely kicked her" arguments are kind of weak because who knows what he would have done if it was one on one like the Ray Rice incident.

 

So the arguments about what actually happened are weak because what couldve happened if a variable was changed? That's a weird argument.

Also, I didn't say it was excusable, just unsure if that should even qualify as assault.

 

I don't care what the optics are or are not. That was stupid of him and he'll be punished. Hearing he could be put on Commish exempt list as early as this weekend?

 

I definitely wouldn't have thought this way when I was in my early 20's so I get that players like to party and live that lifestyle, but in the NFL where careers aren't very long (especially for a RB) I don't get why players get that messed up to where they could make a stupid decision and ruin their career. A guy like Hunt could give up the alcohol/drugs (whatever he was on) for a few years and make millions of dollars and then have the rest of his life after the age of 30 to do all the partying he wants. Easier said than done of course, I just hate to see people mess up such a great opportunity. I'm not blaming the alcohol/drugs but it seems like most of these incidents happen when someone isn't sober.

 

Just read he’s on the exempt list this week while the nfl looks into it.

 

Edit: now it says they cut hunt!

 

...good job on the Spencer Ware waiver snag when the video first went public on TMZ, that could be a championship winning move!
