Looks like Deadspin et. al. took a bad angle on the Meriweather play

Well played.

per PFT, there is speculation that Meriweather could pursue legal action against the lawyer or accusors.

If he's innocent, I'm very sure the Anti-Meriweather Brigade will be on this thread apologizing about rushing to judgement.

Don't hold your breath about the latter.

All we know is that, apparently, Brandon Meriweather is no Marvin Harrison.

That also deserves this!

Yup the music did it. Wait no maybe it was the Matrix or Grand Theft Auto.

I am sorry if I offended your taste in artistically performed music Cousin. I am still a Chubby Checker fan and he and the Twist will make a comeback.

Subliminal is subliminal. My ears are not pleased with the threats, foul language, demeaning of women and even yet the one that I cannot get, racial slurs pertaining to ones' own race that make me scratch my head. But.............It's none of my business if people like that. Just not my cup of tea. And this forum is not an exercise in social behavior or demographically based musical tendencies as in young and old, today or yesterday etc. See above. Go Chubby!

Pretty clearly none of us know what's going on. I take my cue from the lack of any meaningful stories on SI or ESPN web pages, whose mediots would be all too happy to jump all over a Pat in distress. Suggests either that the facts are muddy or that there might be concern about libel.

In any event, I hope the injured, however they got to be that way, are getting better and/or out of danger.

Definitely time to suspend judgment.

Are there any Mensa rappers? Didn't think so.

Actually, Chino XL is a member of mensa, I believe.

I'd also wager that guys like Shawn Carter and the like are of extreme intelligence. You don't become that successful otherwise.

Either way, rap music had nothing to do with this shooting.

Well spoken sir.

Nicely done.

This story had crap written all over it when I heard the lawyer on the radio this morning on 98.5. When a radio host blows up the special call-in guest because said guest is making no sense, it tells you something.

Goldie Lookin' Chain would disagree

Re: Deadspinatriots Safety Brandon Meriweather Allegedly Guns Down Two Men During B

The alleged incident happened on the clock is why...

And he remains under contract to an NFL franchise whether or not there is a CBA presently in effect because there will likely be another one of sometime in the forseeable future or better (or worse in some respects) yet there will be operations ongoing under owners workplace rules... The personal conduct policy isn't going away. Not sure it's even being negotiated this time around. Reportedly one of the minor issues the two sides had come to relatively painless agreement on already was the recoverability of signing bonus in the event of suspensions and incarcerations or behavior off the field that limited a players availability to get on it... Much like the rookies and tag victims the NFLPA was only too willing to throw the screw ups under the bus as part of any negotiation...

that's all fine and all...........but as of right now, he's not even a suspect in the eyes of the police, so I am not sure what the NFL is investigating

Out of curiousity -- a quick poll of the users on this thread:

Which would be worse?

* Brandon Meriweather being at a party where two people were shot, but Brandon himself not involved with the shooting.

* Kevin Faulk getting busted for pot possession at a concert.


Obviously the first case has shades of Pac Man Jones all over it, but no actual guilty actions. The second case is presumably a more minor offense, but with actual guilt committed by the player.

Which one would concern you more as a fan?

Easily 1st one. Pot isn't that big of a deal. and Faulk only got a one game suspension Meriweather's has a potential to be much worse.

I hope they are better too, UNLESS they conspired and said "let's say it was Meriweather who did this, so that we can get some money out of it".

What a dip****. Well... cant say we didnt know this was a possibility when they drafted him. He came draped with red flags from the very begining. :bricks:

You know, in the United States the accused are innocent until proven guilty.

Relative says Brandon Meriweather was trying to break up fight - The Buzz - Boston.com sports news

Witness comes out and identifies the shooter - and it's not Meriweather.

As Meriweather jostled between his two cousins, one of Taylor's friends, whom the witness identified at Anton Massey, drew a handgun and fired at Payne, mistakenly striking Taylor and Stanley. The witness said Meriweather played no other role in the incident but peacemaker.

1.) The claim currently has no credibility for anything beyond Meriweather being at the location of a shooting

2.) Florida allows for carrying with a permit

3.) He was cleared in the earlier incident


In short, you're clowning yourself.

It helps to read the whole thread before commenting like this. You'd have seen that there's mostly indication he was NOT the shooter.

yeah, your namesake was really into that.

(just joking. not trying to incite a political thread!)

 

[Patriot_in_NY]

Hmmmm, it the last 14 pages, I've come to the following conclusions.

1) If this is true (a big if...), given his other history...... Brandon is a terrible shot.

2) We have no idea WTF is going on.
