Off Season Arrests
- Thread starter Finland
- Start date
Koa Misi was arrested in March for an incident during the lockout in April 2011. That was it for the Dolphins.
Stupid is a highly subjective term. Also it's a moral judgment that we as human beings should not make. That same sorta thought process is behind that movie theater massacre in Colorado. Until we as a society stop thinking that certain segments of people are lesser than ourselves, we'll continue to see crazy acts of violence. Now I certainly don't mean to relate you to that incident, but you must realize that no matter what your occupation is, or how much money you make, stupidity is in us all. So don't be stupid and think you're not!
Thank goodness we don't have a Kenny Britt (Titans) on our team. The guy has been arrested 8, yes EIGHT times since 2009!

Yes, stupidity transcends income, but you have to remember these guys are in the spotlight. When they do well, we see it. When they do something stupid, we see it. Stupidity when it comes to DUIs is NOT subjective. 100% objectively, driving under the influence is stupid. This has nothing to do with classism, racism, or narcissism, whatever it is you're alluding to - if you DUI, I don't care who you are or how much you get paid. This is not a moral debate. It is a clear-cut, dangerous and stupid decision that puts others' lives in jeopardy. As human beings it's ABSOLUTELY a moral judgment we should make! Just maybe not as fans.
I dont expect to see much arrests while we have Philbin. The guy as made it a #1 priority to have high character football players here. I like that. Def one of the biggest reasons B Marsh was shipped out.
:goodpost:
Can I just say though that I see people driving under the influence of stupid every single day. It's not just drinking and driving, it could be texting and talking on the phone. Both can put others at risk of injury and/or death. But I ask you where do we draw the stupid line?
Overall I agree. I like to seek to understand. But why does an NFL talent with millions, need to carry a gun and get in fights? I don't get it personally. The DUI I can understand, but when you have the cash, take a cab or something. I'm more talking about the gun packing crowd. I never said "lesser" either, I think you introduced that word. Surely we could also say problems will continue to exist as long as people are carrying around weapons. Kind of speaks towards a mind-set all on it's own.

Stupid is as stupid does...turns out it was a Dolphin fan Aaron Berry pointed his gun at. Less than a month after getting a DUI, stupid may be too soft of word to describe him...moronic, idiotic, dumbass may be a better fit.

You don't get IT because you don't live IT. Understand that most of these athletes come from abysmal neighborhoods. These types of individuals once thrusted into the spotlight have a wide range of temptations on them that the average Joe simply can't relate to. And therein lies the problem, different upbringings tend to yield different challenges in life. Normal to you could be completely foreign to me. And the scrutiny that I might experience in the limelight might be too much for me to handle especially when I have so many people pulling me in so many directions. One could easily fall victim to peer pressure and gang activity when the support system is absent. Yes poverty can create rich monsters. Some would say Mike Vick is one. But guess what, suburbia can create them too. And you better believe hate does not discriminate.

Tua time!
the phins have done pretty well this offseason keeping their noses clean...koa misi the only exception i can think of...sure seems like the league is loaded this offseason with off field issues...goodell must not be as much of a deterrent as we expected...or teams are taking more chances on crappy character players
It's even more ridiculous when you consider the fact that the NFL offers a free, no questions asked taxi system to all players. There is absolutely no reason to drive after drinking and its incredibly stupid of them.
I get everything you are saying. Remember you have know idea what "I" live dude. I've seen plenty. I do agree with your general concept of acceptance and seeking to understand. However when they are doing stuff, I can't believe how stupid some of them are. Like Plaxico, I mean really.
