[Edited title] Chiefs starting LB Willie Gay arrested on DV charge, released from Jail Thursday

[HOUSE]

Assault on a vacuum cleaner is serious stuff mister, next thing you know it's dishwashers & Stoves

[clearwater cadet]

Let just play and see what happens.

McDermott needs to fire the o-line up and tell them Gay told this woman this is what he was going to do to Josh Allen and he then smashed the vacuum cleaner and took out a door.

Yep - pay for the crap you broke and lets all get on with our lives.  Also don't break more of her stuff.

No not quite.   No paying for the crap you broke or stole,  just walk. Don’t think there is any accountability.  I suppose if they can afford to pay they might be asked to?

I ask this genuinely though— for a guy like Hill, what do you think of him? Do you just sort of tolerate him? He’s not the sort of guy you want your 10-year old to go wear his jersey. 

 

My OJ Simpson comment was obviously tongue-in-cheek. I just can't stand when fanbases think that keeping players out of trouble is some sort of organizational skill when most owners/coaches are fixated on football and don't care much about life. Last I checked, "Tyrel Dodson's girlfriend accused him of hurting her, hitting her, breaking her door, and shoving her against the wall, and hitting her across the face, and stealing cash." He is still on the Bills, yes? Okay then. 

 

To your question, there is a note that Andy Reid keeps on his desk. Per John Harbaugh, it's always been there dating back to his time with the Eagles. It says simply "Don't judge." I don't know any of these players on any intimate level. None of us do. As stated, there are upwards of 50+ NFL player arrests per year. I can only imagine how many go unreported. These are young athletes who in many cases come from tough backgrounds, with no real support system in place, and a pile of life-changing cash sitting in their bank accounts. I cheer for Tyreek and I root for him to succeed. He started the Tyreek Hill Family Foundation, he has done youth football camps, and he's very involved in the KC community. A cynic could say, "He's doing all that for PR," and maybe that is true. But maybe he isn't?

 

I don't think people should be defined by their worst moment, particularly when those of us in the public have little knowledge of what actually happened behind closed doors. I say that for any player, including Tyreek, Dodson, Willie Gay, anyone.

You would think a guy with his money would have a central vac

[bills6969]

Hide your vacuums!

[Paul Costa]

When DV is added to the charge and he has a history of Mental Issues it changes things. 

[Conlan58]

Sucks for all involved. 

 

 

Except the vacuum. That probably no longer sucks.

Lol KC with all these low character players, do they put any emphasis on anything other than 40 times ?

With all their low character guys, I’m beginning to think ChiefsFan.com is a Chiefs players Only website.😳

if done in a threatening manner during an argument in a domestic setting, breaking objects is clearly threatening.  I'd expect the person to get a protection from abuse/restraining order, but I doubt the NFL does anything.

I agree, a singular incident is just that, a one off… I see the issue here with the organization who seems to happen upon more of these singular incidents than all other teams. They don’t put a priority on character and that’s fine if you’re ok with the results on the field and off. I’m very glad McDermott demands high character, doesn’t mean there won’t be mistakes made but I prefer his approach to team building compared to Andy’s.

Well if they share a kid there's likely family court.  They might just push it over to that.  And in that situation I could see them making him pay for stuff.

Yep, and Tyrel Dodson sings in the local choir.

That's what we thought when he missed the AFCCG last year.

 

If we play as poorly as we did that night we lose.

Maybe I'm an exception to the norm but if I got arrested it would certainly distract me.

There’s a comedian who makes a joke about these situations by saying:

 

”These guys aren’t bad guys, they are just doing football at the wrong time!”

 

So this guy can say....Oh, I was supposed to be doing vacuuming, but I accidentally was doing football.

 

In all seriousness, I’m glad no one but the vacuum cleaner was hurt.

[The Firebaugh Kid]

I wish I'd thrown the Kirby salesman through a door frame too.

Maybe the wife was ready to buy, and Willie had to put his foot down.
