jackassery , just saying it is fun. jackassery..........jackassery...........jackasser y:laughing2

:lol:

It's my new favorite.

If the charges are dropped I don't see how we could punish him. Doesn't the league only allow you to punish a player who's actually been charged with a crime?

It's not just criminal activity it's also any player engaged in "Violent or threatening conduct" also "possession or distribution of a weapon in violation of state or federal law"............Any of these violations could lead to discipline by the league.

FROM THE NFPLA website:
Conduct Policy
General Policy

Engaging in violent and/or criminal activity is unacceptable and constitutes conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in the National Football League. Such conduct alienates the fans on whom the success of the League depends and has negative and sometimes tragic consequences for both the victim and the perpetrator. The League is committed to promoting and encouraging lawful conduct and to providing a safe and professional workplace for its employees.

Prohibited Conduct


It will be considered conduct detrimental for Covered Persons to engage in (or to aid, abet or conspire to engage in or to incite) violent and/or criminal activity. Examples of such Prohibited Conduct include, without limitation: any crime involving the use or threat of physical violence to a person or persons; the use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a crime; possession or distribution of a weapon in violation of state or federal law; involvement in "hate crimes" or crimes of domestic violence; theft, larceny or other property crimes; sex offenses; racketeering; money laundering; obstruction of justice; resisting arrest; fraud; and violent or threatening conduct. Additionally, Covered Persons shall not by their words or conduct suggest that criminal activity is acceptable or condoned within the NFL.

Persons Charged With Criminal Activity

Any Covered Person arrested for or charged with conduct prohibited by this policy will be required to undergo an immediate, mandatory clinical evaluation and, if directed, appropriate counseling. Such evaluation and counseling must be performed under the direction and supervision of the NFL Vice President of Player and Employee Development. Failure to cooperate with evaluation and counseling (including being arrested for or charged with additional criminal activity during the evaluation and counseling period) shall itself be conduct detrimental to the National Football League and shall be punishable by fine or suspension at the discretion of the Commissioner.

Persons Convicted of Criminal Activity


Any Covered Person convicted of or admitting to a criminal violation (including a plea to a lesser included offense; a plea of nob contendere or no contest; or the acceptance of a diversionary program, deferred adjudication, disposition of supervision, or similar arrangement) will be subject to discipline as determined by the Commissioner. Such discipline may include a fine, suspension without pay and/or banishment from the League. Any Covered Person convicted of or admitting to a second criminal violation will be suspended without pay or banished for a period of time to be determined by the Commissioner.

To bad it happened in Florida and not California. You can molest and kill people in California and not get jail.


You have to be rich and famous to really get away with shit. We do seem to have the lowest national IQ when it comes to jury service.

You guys really need to shut up or I hear that Seans going to come and kick your a@s!.

BAsed on the rules the NFL has established, shouldn't Jamal Lewis be suspended for a few games this year?

I think he served a four-game suspension last year.

I did some web searching and found out he was suspended for 2 games and fined a additional 2 games worth of salary.

yeah, so i expect st to get at least some sort of suspension from the league. haha his jackassery (lol saying it is fun) is also causing bad publicity for the team. just what we need.

Is this the ONLY picture they can ever find of him?

Seems like a lot of us are assuming a lot about the facts of this case. All we know is based on a few obligatory police statements and conjecture. I think it is telling that as soon as anything that would mitigate his implicity in the situation started filtering out the reporting on it died. I hope this all works out but I hope even more that this starightens his dumb ass out. What the heck is wrong with this guy I keep asking myself.
