JAMIEBUF12 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Cruel and unusual punishment? 571891[/snapback] seems like a awful long probation period (5 years) for only facing 27 days being that he has to do 3 days of the possible 30....not that i condone going onto fields,and almost 4 weeks of community service.i think i'd do the 30 days and tell the judge to keep his probation and community service!

If he got a slap on the wrist and $100 fine, you'd have 5 - 10 fat drunk guys doing that per game. Execution would have been alright in this case.

Just Jack Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Very cruel for what he did. I think the judge and Browns want to make an example of him. I would make it a heavy fine, community service, banned from the stadium for one year, and loss of season tickets if he has them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Who really cares... Is watching/listening to the SB that important? Even if it is "your" team. Probably (the sentence) does his wife or significant other a favor... If he ran on to the field, he would probably be the kind of guy that would beat her up if his team didn't do well. Isn't SB Sunday the number one day for domestic violence in this country? Anyway, just tape or TiVo it. Believe me... Watching the Bills lose 4 straight... I think the next time the Bills go to the show... I am gonna skip it... It might bring them luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
