FCB is rent free in this birdbrains head

Coming from someone with the intellect of a ******ed gnat, "bird brain" is a high compliment. Regarding the rent-free thing, don't flatter yourself.

Glad to see Jones' lawyer playing the race card...



Scapicchio also addressed the coverage of Jones’ arrest.

“It’s the social media, and the media, who have turned him into a thug, who have labeled him a thug, with no evidence whatsoever. Because he’s a young Black man, all of a sudden, he’s a thug. That’s what happened here,” she said, before adding “That label that was attached to him through social media almost got him fired, and it was completely unfounded.”

She must’ve read Mark Morsel’s drivel.

Wait, are Bill and Robert waiting to see how this plays out on social media before making the decision on whether to cut him or not?

I just want Jones to play. Without him the team is considerably weaker at the back

It puts all the pressure on Gonzalez.

You said he shouldn’t be on the team because he is stupid. I just showed a different version of stupid to illustrate that non football intelligence issues don’t cost teams games, after you suggested that because he took a gun on a plane he would make bad football decisions

I said he shouldn't be in the team if the worst allegations are true... which I don't think they are.

Perfectly reasonable position for me to take given the specifics of the situation. Your comparison and blanket statement makes no sense, but I understand... you just want to start an argument.

We all know the player's potential is weighing on everyone's opinion (including the team's). I personally say cut him because the charges are pretty serious, he already has a criminal record, and his player conduct history is poor (including with the Patriots in only 1 season).

LOL you say cut him because it will hurt the team and make BB look bad -- you are already p*ssing on the draft pick. You are a troll in not-very-convincing fan's clothing..

 

[Kasmir]

Move on to the next bust reach is more like it.

Should've been Tariq Woolen.

LOL so predictable.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

sigh. Good eye.

I would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for that meddling mod

 

[TomPatriot]

According to the laws that Jones allegedly broke, jail is in the picture as your penalty per being found guilty.

Yes, but if he pleads to different, lesser charges and the current charges are dropped as part of a plea deal - which happens a lot - the lesser charges might not require incarceration. That’s why we don’t know yet.

 

[Betterthanmost]

The more I read this, the more I think someone set him up. He has issues but this seems just plain weird. He is not that dumb.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Too much information going on ...
I work too much to really care no caring one way or another my last post on this ********.
I root and love my regional teams .. if he is here or not .... whatever not losing sleep or caring.
Some veterans will be cut when training camp starts ... so until then ... don't really care.
For better or worse .. my regional teams are my interest ... you know like a Lions fan or whatever.

If his fingerprints are found anywhere on either of those guns, then the set-up defense might have to be scrapped...

 

[Joker]

yep, I've worked with many people that could knock me down with their aroma.

so...another victim of that ancient Chinese deadly art...FLUNG POO....here's to a full recovery my friend...

EVERYBODY just wants Jones to play, genius. That's not the concern here. The million-dollar question is whether he can pull off a Hail Mary legal defense so it can happen. Of course, you have done your typical hypocrite's jig killing BB for drafting Jones and predicting Kraft will sacrifice him to the SJW crowd. Clown.

 

[n1997y]

Not necessarily. They could be his guns that he’s handled at a range, but someone else packed them for him. Doesn’t completely get him off the hook but makes some charges not applicable.

Yeah, maybe... But if his are the Only prints found on anything, then no jury's gonna buy the Someone else put them in there argument.

None of that has anything to do with how he plays football.
I’m not arguing, there is nothing to argue if all you have is “that’s stupid, cut him”. We could have an argument if you want to put thought into it, but until then your just being emotional

We all know the player's potential is weighing on everyone's opinion (including the team's). I personally say cut him because the charges are pretty serious, he already has a criminal record, and his player conduct history is poor (including with the Patriots in only 1 season).

Kraft is going to consider public opinion and the overall ramifications on the his reputation and that of the team. The Hernandez situation has forever put the team in the position of being extra sensitive about these criminal matters (particularly ones involving guns/weapons). Kraft has his own prior legal issue that he doesn't want conjured up for any reason. There's an overall history here that is not going to be unrelated to this current situation, which I suppose is unfortunate for Jones, but that's just the way it is.

Belichick has got to consider the distraction element on his team's preparation for this very important season. Everyone has to on point this season and this isn't a good start. It's hard to ignore the noise when it's coming from within and it's in your face. Removing the distraction now and moving forward may be the most prudent approach. I get it - innocent until proven guilty - but that's in a court of law and it will be dragged out and scrutinized for months. In the meantime, people (and the court of public opinion) will be passing judgment on the player, the team, the HC/GM, and ownership. So maybe it's soft in some respect but cutting the player now could potentially avoid a lot of grief.

No offense meant to you, but this is really pathetic.

Who says Kraft has to be extra sensitive because of Aaron Hernandez? **** that. ****y scared attitude. Kraft's business will not be affected one bit by keeping Jones and his "serious" charges around. Court of public opinion? Jeezus, really? Let's cut a very good young player because some losers might cause us some grief and pass judgment on us.

Might as well fill a tub with water and start bobbing for tampons at that point.

 

[ohiopatsfan]

I'm thinking Jones will get a hefty fine and no jail time, IMHO. The commish will probably suspend him for at least half a season. I can't imagine he is dumb enough to take loaded guns onto a plane. Being set up is certainly a possibility.
