No Punishment?!?!?!

I thought he was convicted on the first offense, the one where he got into the fight at the restaurant and accidentally hit his wife with the chair after throwing it to get to the guy she was having lunch with.

I think that was the 2nd incident you were talking about above.

Just shows a pattern of violence between these two and if both want to keep it up then let em.

That was Derrick Rodgers not Randy.
 
He should be tied to the goal post and let ever Fins wife smack the poop out of him!

sorry i dont find pleasure in watching piece of **** wife beaters on TV representing my favorite team. I have personal experience in this, with someone abusing a close friend that I had known since she was 6 and she was then 22 and it was the first and only time i've been arrested when I found her boyfriend... dont give me **** thinking i am exaggerating...

I suggest you dont watch the dolphins this year then. You may lose your lunch. He'll be playing.
 
he should spend a month in jail or house arrest, only allowed to leave the house to go to practice or a game

I'm thinking about it.... I'll lose a lot of respect for Saban if he plays McMichael...
 
In the US you are innocent until proven guilty not the other way around. Too many people beleive what they read in the paper and half of the news is crap anyway.
 
I concure. He is only charged. You have to let the situation play out.

:fire: How the h@ll can you guys vote NO PUNISHMENT?!?! First of all, this shouldn't happen even if Randy McMichael wasn't a pro football player. This is also his second offense. HE SHOULD BE FINED AND SUSPENDED! There is no room for this type of action on this any team. For those of you who voted NO PUNISHMENT, give me your reasons...good ones! Don't give me he gives us a chance to win. I realize that, but that shouldn't even come into play here. He is a man, he hit a woman, he should be punished! As you can see, I don't post a lot, but I am on this wonderful site a few times a day. I just felt like speaking out.

So, you guys that voted NO PUNISHMENT, give me your (well thought out) reasons why.

GO FINS!!! :fire:

Very simple. It is not the team's place to punish him, it is the court's. Now, you can have all the discussion you want about the appropriate sentence for a convicted wife-beater, but you're talking about what his employer's response should be.

I own a small business and have employees. If one of my employees had this happen, it would not be my place to fine him or suspend him from work; in fact, it would probably be illegal for me to do so. Even if I thought my employee did it, it would still not be my place to judge him outside of work. I hired him to show up and do a job. As long as his legal proceedings don't interfere with that, I have to let the courts handle it.
Now, you better believe that when it came time to renegotiate his contract, I'd have to look at how this pattern of behavior affects his reliability, his ability to perform his job and how he represents my business. He may have a clause that says if he gets in any more legal trouble, or has to miss work for legal problems, or casts a bad impression on my business, etc., the contract is null and void ,he has to pay back his signing bonus, etc.

The Dolphin's response should be employer-employee, not judge and jury, especially since this is still "alledged."

I hate to break this to you, but there are plenty of players that do things outside of football that you wouldn't agree with. It's not the teams' job to field the most moral, ethical team they can.

Take it a step further; do you want the cardiac surgeon who's the most gifted in the country, but cheats on his wife, beats his dog, and is emotionally cold to his children, or do you want the highly ethical nice surgeon that tends to drop things and forgets the procedure at times?
 
The majority of facts in this case arent even out, and yet people are lining up to lynch Randy already...y'all need to relax and remember the whole "innocent until proven guilty" creed that this country's judicial system was founded on. If it comes out that he IS in fact abusive and it wasnt provoked in defense of his wife attacking HIM, which does happen...IMO he should be cut immediately (b/c to me a man who attacks a woman is one of the lowest forms of scum on this earth) and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Until an investigation into this is completed...I say dont judge him, dont call for his burning at the stake, just let him play and let the proper authorities bring the real facts to light and decide his punishment if they see fit to punish him.
 
If you're a Denver fan, why do you care what McMichael does anyway? Worry about your own team for a change

He wasn't found not guilty or innocent. The charges were dropped completely.

No Charges were filed in the first incident. Neither party wanted to file charges against the other.
