John Abraham DWI

[Darkside]

Just heard on channel 12 news the reason Abraham was excused from camp for "personal" reasons is that he got a DWI last month. They mentioned a possible suspension but no other information.

(Edit: Source is Bob Mcmanaman, said suspension is likely. Not his first DWI)

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

Oh crap.

 

[Jetstream Green]

These guys are freaking morons. Elite athletes are dumb

 

[Shaggy]

Why not call a taxi?? Or get someone to take you home. I know when you are drunk you don't think straight, but if you know you are a getting to that point, start thinking of calling someone...

 

[82CardsGrad]

Was concerned about our pass rush before this... Uggghhhh....

 

[Cheesebeef]

well, if true, now it makes sense why Abraham was defending Washington's idiocy.

bunch of complete idiots in our LBing corps.

not his first DWI? what a POS and now it REALLY makes sense that he came to multiple idiotic moves made by Washout.

He had 1 in NY with the Jets and got into some other trouble in Atlanta (obstruction I believe). They're going to discuss it again at 6pm AZ time.

I'm hoping against hope that there is more to this story (or maybe less). But I doubt it. Oh well, next non-idiot up.

(Charged in NY, not sure if he was convicted, don't have time to look it up)

according to this article, he's been in the program since 2003.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?id=1866507

if true, and he got busted again, is he facing the same suspension as Washington? If so, I'm thinking our fans have no leg to stand on the criticize the Niners and their idiots at this point...or Harbaugh's apparent lack of control.

idiots will be idiots, no matter who the coach is.

Yep...

Go check out the Suns forum for more proof!

Agreed.

Keim didn't sound concerned about it, so I hope it's just hand-wringing:
Cardinals General Manager Steve Keim made it sound as if nothing was particularly out of the norm.

"I'm not concerned at all," he said on Arizona Sports 620 during the Doug and Wolf show. "He'll be back at some point here."

This is getting really irritating.

 

[Jim Otis]

If he was given one phone call , he should have called Aldon Smith , "Yo Aldon , got myself in a mess over here , how do I get out of it " ?

Maybe he did and has been in rehab the past month and that's why he's not in camp

Maybe he has a bogus excuse like Clark Haggans did.

This. How can you not call someone when you have all that money and resources?

here is your chance, Okafor.

Time to step it up

They even get a $200 Uber credit.

One of my favorite Cardinals Luis Sharpe has a story to tell- if they don't have time to read this- they don't have time to get well!

Finally, Sharpe asks me to look at his head.
The scars have faded but remain visible, remnants of a May 31, 2010, riot in which Sharpe says six or seven White men attacked him with homemade weapons, including broom handles and socks filled with locks and rocks.
I sit back down and Sharpe gently touches a depression under his right eye. It was here, he says, that he was struck with a lock in a sock, a blow that fractured his eye socket, requiring reconstructive surgery. He says he still suffers from headaches and dizziness. He wonders if he's suffered permanent brain damage.
We talk for a few more minutes. Almost as an aside, he says he's been in and out of prison since 1996.
"Fifteen years?" I say incredulously.
"Yeah," Sharpe says. "Longer than I played football."

A charge and a conviction are two different things. I'm being told he will beat the charge. Not making guarantees but i have reliable source on this.

The entire league shares a $200k Uber account. The problem is players are afraid their bosses will track their nighttime activities if they tap into the account, so it's virtually useless.

Every article I've seen says it is $200 per player, but, either way, if nobody is using it, it's a pretty slick marketing job by Uber. Tons of free publicity and no actual cost to pay out.

I thought the NFL used to have an unlimited free ride policy, too. Is that right? They must not be making enough money to offer that anymore.
