Well this isn’t news nobody was expecting, hopefully no suspension.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

There is, but I am not sure Ian wants those links and images here. Go google how Michael Hutchence died and it'll start you down the rabbit hole.

 

[Kdo5]

Terrible news.

 

[Ross12]

Talk about bad timing/distractions.

Based on the fact that the gender of the victim is not mentioned, I am going to assume this is not a domestic violence situation. Therefore, I am going to further assume that this is not a commissioner's exempt list type of thing and he will be able to play until the case sorts itself out.

Unfortunately, it looks like his hearing is two days before the AFCCG which is not great, especially if they make it there and have to travel to Denver to play in it.

FWIW the arraignment isn’t until 1/23.

 

[stinkypete]

I was looking forward to an offseason without unending pleas to sign “insert name WR beast”. Guess it’s not happening.

It's probably accurate to assume this involves a woman. The question is who, and then what the circumstances were.

The team obviously knew about it. He's scheduled for court January 23rd..there's been no ruling on it from the league?

 

[Borg140]

Fantastic. Just what the team needs. A major distraction.

Listening on weei mentioned his attorneys are currently in dedham district court. That typically means something is likely to be worked out prior to his arraignment.

Domestic issues are always complex things.

I heard some wild rumors mid December that he got into a scuffle with his personal chef. Perhaps they are related.
Surprised by the felony part. Let me go read MA felony rules.

Not necessarily, could have just been a fight between two men. Other guy might be looking for a payday. Also you may be right.
