I could see a Jared Allen esque suspension for this. JA was hit with a four game suspension for two dui charges, so I'd say a 2 game suspension would come of this with the way Goodell has been handling thse situations. _________________

Goodell is probbaly going to lay down the law. He's doing enough of it lately as it is, so I expect that a suspension will come here. _________________

Goodell isn't going to be happy considering his zero tolerance policy and the fact that it is not really working as well as he would like.
They might make another example out of Chambers. _________________

This is news to me. I think Goodell is being more strict than Tagliabue was. I mean this is a good thing too becuase it really tells players that they need to keep their head on straight and stay out of trouble. He also should have been in bed at 2:31 AM. _________________ Adopt-a-Ram: Brian Quick - 11 receptions, 156 yards, 2 TDs |

Good news for some of you aspiring journalists, you might still have a chance to work for ESPN. Here's the title on this story:
| Quote: | | Report: Dolphins wide reciever Chambers charged in N.C. |
You'd think they would use spell check before submitting a story. Sloppy work if you ask me. _________________

I can see a 1 maybe 2 game suspension... Its Goodell so you never know, but IMO he shouldnt be suspended at all. _________________

I don't understand what all the fuss is about. I understand that a DUI is a serious charge. Believe me, I know... However, it can happen to just about ANYBODY.
How easy is it to have a few drinks and get behind the wheel? (again it can happen to anyone) This charge would be more serious IF the player had any priors, which he doesn't. _________________

it can happen to anybody, i wont dispute that. but when the person that makes and enforces the rules makes a decision such as a zero tolerance policy(just for example you see) and you know full well that every player in the league knows what is expected of them, then having any priors doesnt fly, and not expecting to have consequences would be silly. i know im not the only one here that has had a job that you can be fired from for a dui, so a suspension doesnt seem so bad. |
