Malcolm Butler missed curfew, had weed on him, and argued with coaches over it

[Pattersonca65]

That's true, but I bet there'd be a huge double standard if (and I'm not saying this would ever happen) Tom Brady was the one who missed curfew, had some weed and then told off the coaches. I would bet my left nut that if Brady did the same thing he wouldn't have been benched.

I think you would be right there

 

[Duffman]

they didnt catch floyd drunk...or missing curfew...but good call!

Well the law caught Floyd so you would think that would be worse than a coach of a football team.

 

[Carnzo]

I would have played him anyway.

But I would have bailed out Hernandez and put him in too.

That's how I roll.

 

[SJ76]

I admire BB for doing this. Maybe a bit overkill though. Benching for the 1st quarter? Maybe.

After losing Cooks, the Butler loss too is alot.

not if the law is taking care of the law side of it. ones law, ones a private business.

 

[Scooby-Doo]

no. your job is to make curfew. your job is to do your job.

he didnt.

Again, what about Chandler Jones. He didn't do his job, and BB played him.

what, you mean the fake weed thing?

yes. wasn't that pretty much the same thing?

No kidding..

Belichick said the benching was not for disciplinary reasons but who knows

 

[dbldwn711]

I remember Wes Welker saying "feet" about 50 times in a press conference after it was revealed that Rex Ryan has a foot fetish. BB benched him for a quarter.

Look, I get that rules are important and must be enforced but all those other guys worked very very hard to get to that point. They deserve to have the best players out there when they are battling.

If this report is true, Malcolm Butler let his teammates down for sure but BB may have let them down as well by not picking some lesser penalty. I mean, if it was that bad why suit him up at all? Why allow him to play on special teams (which he did)?

I'm not sure any of this makes any sense

 

[Rock Strongo]

yes. wasn't that pretty much the same thing?

no. that happened in franklin mass, a few miles from here.

not the eve of the SB.

[jarntt]

Sooooo....Pretty sure I'm sitting him for a while and then getting him in. Cut him after if you want. But, that's BB for you. Rules are rules and he is consistent. Also may have cost him a SB though...

The trickiest part would have been bringing Hernandez back to life!!!

They need to minimize the penalty for smoking weed. It helps you focus when you're an athlete. Not talking about being a pothead, but c'mon man, a couple of good tokes is a fabulous thing when you are focused.

It's better to do that after the season.

 

[GNG]

Yeah, I've played a lot of sports and am by no means a pothead. But man, good weed is good.

Not good enough to miss the Super Bowl.

@Used to be Hu


Yes, I mean, why would not having your second best corner, the one that had played 97% of defensive snaps this year, the one that has chemistry with his teammates, the one that plays big in big games, etc -- why would anyone think he would have made a difference?

Think, McFly.

Well, you live the life that you choose.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

no. your job is to make curfew. your job is to do your job.

he didnt.

Oh I get it.

No like he pulled a Eugene Robinson though.

If this is true.

BB's job is to win that game.

im a raging pot head

id quit if i was a pro athlete in a second, and just replace weed with lots and lots of blowjobs from lots and lots of chicks in lots of cities.
