    She also could’ve been drunk and fell. You ever seen the videos of drunk girls trying to walk in high heels? Lol

    Simmons did that when he was in high school and before he was 18 if I recall. And he was defending his sister who was in the middle of the fight with the girl and pulling her hair and wouldn't let go. That doesn't make what he did right, but it's far cry from what allegedly happened in this instance.

    She apparently didn't know she was pregnant. She didn't find out until she went to the hospital later.

    Definitely differences but it’s just ironic that some people on here are throwing this kid to the side already when they were silent or defending Big Jeff just a couple years ago. It’s a far cry from what some on here have stated about this situation. Let’s get all the facts before we try and decide what side of the fence we are on.

    The words he spoke to the cops are helping his case. And considering what we went through with Wilson last year, I don't think you could blame people for not wanting to commit to him, especially considering he's only a 4th rounder.

    We have 1 year to sign him to a contract before we lose his rights. IMO, don't sign him to a contract till we have more info, even if that timeline bleeds into the start of the season. He wasn't likely to get a ton of action as the 3rd/4th option at Edge anyways.

    Simmons hit that girl multiple times. You telling me a man his size couldn't have just grabbed her and pulled her off? It was inexcusable and as much a reason he slid in the draft as his injury.

    The key word for now is "allegedly". I won't defend Weaver if he did this as I didn't Simmons.

    But I've watched the NFL long enough to know teams mainly only give lip service to such incidents, claiming the need to wait for the legal process to play out before making any decisions. Months pass by and charges get reduced or dropped because someone is paid off.

    No conviction? No reason to discipline the player. It's all but forgotten by fans if the player is helping the team win.

    Agreed, but I think the media plays the overly largest part...... The media amplified the status quo of many, many trials over the last 30 to 40 years -- I can think of one key one where a certain glove didn't fit....

    And in regards to the public -- you're right.... there's a certain quote from Men in Black 1 that sums up the entire realm of today's society:

    "Why not tell people, I mean they're smart, they can handle it.."
    "A PERSON IS SMART!.... People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it..."
