Re: Bengals' Nicholson arrested on domestic violence charge This guy is a punk, he had major character issues coming out of Florida State and he is just messing up his life. I wonder what his suspension will be.
Re: Bengals' Nicholson arrested on domestic violence charge Ehh, Bengals took too many chances on 'poor character' players for years and this is what happened to them. I find it hard to feel sorry for them. Hopefully they clean up their act soon though cause this is getting pathetic.
Re: Bengals' Nicholson arrested on domestic violence charge Can Goodell suspend a team for a season? That would teach them a lesson...
Re: Bengals' Nicholson arrested on domestic violence charge Maybe this is a case where they will lose draft picks
Re: Bengals' Nicholson arrested on domestic violence charge <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>NICHOLSON RELEASEDThe Bengals released linebacker A.J. Nicholson, who pled not guilty to assault charges on Monday.The woman who claimed that Nicholson hit her, told reporters at his arraignment Monday that Nicholson never hit her.Nicholson was arrested on a domestic violence charge Friday, the first arrest of a Cincinnati Bengals' player since commissioner Roger Goodell cracked down on misconduct last month.Nicholson, a fifth-round draft pick from Florida State in 2006, appeared in only two games last season, when he had a hamstring injury.Victoria Johnson said she hit herself with a cell phone below her eye when she tried to grab it away from Nicholson."I'm embarrassed to tell you that I was extremely emotional when I contacted police and that caused me to exaggerate what had taken place between A.J. and myself," Victoria Johnson said, according to WLWT-TV in Cincinnati.Nicholson already was one of nine Bengals players arrested during a nine-month span, turning the team into a prime example of player misconduct. The team had gone four months without having a player arrested.Police in nearby Taylor Mill, Ky., arrested Nicholson after a Johnson called 911 on Friday afternoon to say she had been assaulted by the second-year player. He was charged with fourth-degree assault, a misdemeanor.Goodell introduced a new conduct policy last month that stiffens penalties and holds franchises responsible when their players get into trouble.Nicholson, a fifth-round draft pick from Florida State in 2006, appeared in only two games last season, when he had a hamstring injury.Last March, Nicholson pleaded no contest to burglary and grand theft in Tallahassee, Fla., and was sentenced to two months in a work program. He had been charged with stealing electronic equipment and other items from the apartment of a former Florida State teammate.Nicholson was also placed on two years' probation, which could be jeopardized by his latest arrest.Taylor Mill police chief Steve Knauf said a woman called police to Nicholson's apartment at 3:10 p.m. on Friday, saying she had been hit in the face. The officer who responded saw that the woman had an injury by her eye.Nicholson wasn't at the apartment, but later showed up at the police station and was arrested, Knauf said. He faces up to 12 months in jail and a $500 fine if convicted.He was jailed in the Kenton County (Ky.) Detention Center following his arrest and released late Friday on $5,000 bond, jail personnel said.Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said the team had no immediate comment because it was still gathering information on the arrest.Nicholson was suspended for Florida State's appearance in the 2006 Orange Bowl after he violated team policy by taking a woman to the team's hotel in Miami.A month after the Bengals drafted him, he faced the criminal charges in Florida. He and another Florida State player, Fred Rouse, were accused of breaking into the apartment of former teammate Lorenzo Booker and stealing items.</div>Dunno why they wouldn't cut Odell Thurman or other people too...
