Dragon Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 See... One would think "don't put yourself in that situation" but is it fair to tell these guys that they can't have a life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 See... One would think "don't put yourself in that situation" but is it fair to tell these guys that they can't have a life? If I were a high profile athlete (not that Cruz is....yet) I would go to the normal ass person bar down the street. You get all these high profile dudes in one place and there are bound to be problems. Mingle with the average Joes.....why go out to the hottest spot in the town?

Sure, go live it up...from February and August. Australian footballers can't drink at all during the season and most teams impose a 10 or 11pm curfew. It's not just what they get up to that's the issue, it's all the idiots out there who want to start shit with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football players should be held to the same standards a boxer would be when training for a big fight....IMO. I mean, I lift and run (occasionally run is more like it) and I feel like I've accomplished nothing physical fitness wise if I drink even a couple beers on a Friday. I feel like the whole week working out was pointless. Guys in the NFL should really have way more respect for their bodies during the football season than they do. And, like you said, people are going to recognize them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be able to do whatever they want. They are grown men. But, if you have to get frisked to get into a club, wouldn't you think it's the type of place you shouldn't be going to in the first place? When are the idiots going to learn?

Nas Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Blame it on age... these guys are not much younger than most of us but they're still in their 20s... I won't harp on the issue here..

Right by that bit that says all children must have access to a kangaroo?

Gman329 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 From the accounts I read this morning, the shooting was in another area of the club and the Giant players heard the shots but did not see the shooter or know what was going on. They took cover under a table until everything settled down and they were sure it was safe. Then they left. Yes, this was Tuesday morning, around 2:30 but players are off on Tuesday, so I don't have a problem here. Also was mentioned that this is a "posh", upscale kind of place, which ought to be at least as safe as the "average Joe" bar. Another point I'll make is that Cruz's birthday, which they were celebrating, is Friday but he chose to party when he was off the next day......unlike Plax, who shot himself around 3AM on the FRIDAY after Thanksgiving! And he wasn't out alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't escape the cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 He was celebrating his birthday and he was celebrating with friends. If you guys want players to not drink or socialize stop drafting football players from college and start recruiting from seminary schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 You aren't going to change my mind that football players, during their regular season and training camp (approximately, what? 22 weeks or so?), should have the self respect and discipline to treat their body with respect. They shouldn't even be drinking. I know I wouldn't be. 1. Because of the obvious physical effects 2. Because alcohol can cause needless trouble To me it's not about going out to have fun or not....go out, do what you want, just don't get sloshed on a Tuesday morning before one of the biggest games of the season (they practice Wednesday, am I right?)
