I know that if that's true, you and I are not the type of people to say "I told you so!" And to certainly not gloat.

**** that. Yes I am.
That's not bribing. A settlement was offered and refused.
I don't know anything about your justice system, but if he is found not guilty of the DV and fined for the cocaine. Then I would think he plays on.
Oh sorry, I didn’t realize it was so far along. Yeah, what a maroon.
Without a doubt going to court is the riskier path. In affairs of the heart emotions are often more important than logic. From the beginning Peppers said that the girlfriend was trying to extort money. He probably looks at this as needing clear his name on the DV charges. Or it could be as simple as him being spiteful to ensure that she does not get any money for putting him through the ringer.
Around that same time, about 40 years ago, I tried coke once. I played poker with a guy who sold it and I decided to try it. I paid $25 for a small pack of it and I think I made a mistake by snorting all of it at once. It made my heart beat so hard that it scared the **** out of me. I never did it again.
If he didn't do what she claims why should he pay her just to move on?
Because it might cost him a lot more in the end?
I’m thinking Vrabel may just cut ties with him anyways especially if he admits or is found guilty of DV.
For the same reason anyone settles when he's done nothing wrong: you never know what's going to happen in court. You never know what the jury will be like. Sometimes the stakes are so high it's better to spend some money to make it all go away. Peppers has his career at stake, and even 500k won't make much of a dent in the bank account. Settle, no admission of fault, she stops talking, all is well and he is back to playing football.
I think you're right. His decisions are being driven by emotion, and the cooler heads of his lawyers did not prevail. He may be 100% in the right here and she's an extortionist, but he needs to take his lumps, learn his lesson, and hang out with a higher class of woman. With his kind of money, if he uses his head and takes advantage of his connections, he'll have more good prospects than he can shake a stick at.
This! There's nothing morally wrong with doing coke. Let Nancy Reagan time go. There is something morally wrong with hurting someone else unless in self defense.
How was it established that she is of poor character? I’ve read nothing about her so I don’t know if this is fact or assumption.
Your morals are not everyone’s morals.
Cocaine is terrible for the body. It can cause heart attacks, strokes, aortic dissection, neurotoxicity, seizures, cardiomyopathy, pulmonary damage, bowel ischemia, addiction, mood disorders and other awful things.
The original reports indicated the dispute started because he wouldn't have unprotected sex with her. Regardless of how things turn out, I hope he learned some hard life lessons as a result of this situation.
Her story is he got mad about other guys calling her while they were hanging out.
