Ricky just shows that athletes can get away with anything

feelthepain said:
It was a stabbing, how was he an accomplice? Did he hold the guy down??Did he plan the murder?? It was a bar fight all he did was wittness it happen and withheld evidence in the investigation to protect someone he knew . This makes you neither an accomplise or a murderer! Unless you were there you don't really know what happend. But the part above was in the news and in the trial.

He was an accomplish because he was there, was a small part of it, didn't turn the guys he was with in, and withheld evidence. If someone KNOWS about and witnesses a murder and was with the people who did and doesn;t turn them in or withholds evidence, he is an accomplice. He may not have stabbed them, but he had every intention that the guys he was with were going to get away with it. He would only have to KNOW about it to be an accomplice. It would be just like you or I seeing or KNOWING our brother killed someone and not telling someone. It's against the law and the penalty is normally extremely strong.

He was there..that's all that matters. He shouldn't have withheld evidence. That there means he was guilty.
 
Ricky didn't prove that athletes can get away with anything. He proved that if you're pretty darn good at what you do, you'll get a second chance when you mess up. If Ricky would have gotten away with it, he would have been PAID last season, he'd be able to come back to the team whenever he wanted, and he wouldn't be suspended for four games this year. THAT would be getting away with it.

The OP acts as if Ricky gunned down a bunch of nuns or something. He smoked weed and quit. If that's a high crime in your book, you're probably on something yourself.

Essentially getting away with nearly everything.

I guess since it happend in front of a bar everyone that watched it were guilty aswell?? He had a trial and the jury found him innocent. Watching a crime doesn't make you guilty of anything. He witheld eveidecne to protect someone. It means he was guilty of withholding evidence and nothing more.
 
I can't believe some of you guys....comparing Ricky to the likes of OJ, J. Williams, and Ray Lewis....all he did was smoke some bud...which by the way was never convicted of nor did he ever step in a criminal courtroom....& who quit on a coach that had no idea of what he was doing, that's it.

Now he is as bad as some of these guys who were being tried for murder...gimmie a break!

oh wait, but what Jamal Lewis did with cocaine is ok because he never QUIT on his football team, right???? BS!
 
If this were you.....a different perspective on Pothead?

Let's put this Ricky issue in another perspective.

Say your son was the number two RB for his high school team. We'll call him "Ronnie". By the way, Ronnie is a model student, extremely talented and is a team player.

The school's number one RB, we'll call him "Ricky" walked out just prior to the first game of the season and said that he wanted to smoke pot and had no desire to play for such an awful coach and team. By the way, Ricky has had issues in the past and no one was surprised when he walked out. He's also a known drug user.

Would you honestly be ok with the school's coach if he decided to allow Ricky back on the team and played him over your son Ronnie????

I'll answer that question for you.......NO WAY! You guys would be up in arms and rightfully so! If your son's high school coach made this decision, you guys would be screaming for his head on a silver platter..:mad:

This will be a major mistake by Saban if he decides to go this route.:shakeno:

I can understand why you would be upset MR. BROWN, but for the other 99.999% of us on this board, we have no PERSONAL agenda's such as yours at stake and the argument isn't really relevant to us. ;)

In your scenario.....I would probably be upset if "Ricky" was allowed back to start ahead of my son "Ronnie" even if he was only out of the picture because he failed to use a #2 pencil on a standardized test.

Anyone with such personal interest in the situation would certainly be upset.....but that's a lot of hyotheticals......we are just ordinarty fans for the most part and our sons, brothers, fathers nor cousins stand to loose carries to Ricky.

Ricky and Ronnie aren't playing highschool football. This is the NFL and like it or not, the only thing that matters is winning. Don't kid yourself into thinking Saban doesn't have a tremendous amount of pressure on him to turn this thing around in a hurry. If he thinks Ricky can help the team win, then Ricky will be here.

It's a question of integrity. If you have integrity as a loyal fan to your beloved team, why on God's earth would you want the man back on the team no questions asked? Not one of you mention what you think would be an acceptable form of apology.
 
This thread is getting a little out of hand.

Who in their right mind thinks that Ricky will start over Ronnie? The same Ricky that is suspended for the first four games and is 30 pounds under playing weight? That's insane for anyone to think.

There's a huge difference between letting a guy back on a team and letting a guy back on a team to start at his position.
