Makes you think, doesn't it?

Thanks for that Canes

I appreciate you for posting this. Stories like this rarely get posted, and I try to do it when I come across it. Fans here and everywhere else sicken me sometimes with how 'High and Mighty' they get... These guys make mistakes just like any of us could, will and do.

Stallworth is a good dude, who made a bad decision. No different than anyone else.

Well, different than Leonard Little, who's a bad dude, who makes awful decisions.

(I know that wasn't your point, but that guy just sickens me.)

The Stallworth issue kind of sticks in my craw for a couple of reasons I alluded to earlier, that really has nothing to do with this thread topic.....it more centers around punishment metted out to Sallworth vice Vick and Burress....both by the civil community as well as the NFL.

WRT Meriweather, I have read nothing further about this incident from him.....maybe on advice of either lawyers, or team officials. Maybe he will fight this in court, and it will be dismissed. Maybe not. That process will have to play out.

The issue for me has always revolved around character....we want a team with character, vice filled with characters. Obviously the final decision is up to the coaching staff WRT what to do if Meriweather is convicted.....but incidents like this do not tend to support a conclusion that Meriweather has either good judgement, or high character quality.....and this has to be a concern to the coaching staff who just brought him onboard.

Good post Canes! People like to think these guys aren't human for some reaso.. while they are in the spotlight, and looked up to, mistakes happen to everyone.
As for this DWI, what was his bac? Was it a weekend night? Near down town? Was it the.morning after w little sleep? Was he headed home from a BBQ?

As a kid, I loved Dexter Manly. As an adult looking back, I'm embarrassed for him. He was not a character player at all, but strengthened the "National Defense".

Some bad nuts can be tolerated, others cannot. Good coaches can discern between the two and know when to cut the cord.

From Meriweather a big Redskins question mark By Dan Graziano

Why do I bring all of this up? Well, the news today on Meriweather is that his DUI case has been resolved. According to ESPN 980 in Washington, he was found guilty and got a 180-day suspended jail sentence and a $300 fine. Probably lost his license for a few months, too, which means he'll need rides to and from training camp. But that's not really the point here, is it?

What about Godahell?

No word yet

More importantly how's he look in camp?
