The story states with the brother proceeded to beat up the New England player’s friend in a fight, leading Meriweather to fire a gun at the brother of the woman.

    Well done moron. At least he can chill with his bro LoMo in jail. They can braid each others hair.

    Patriots will most likely can his ass now

  • gb

    WOW, what a shit-storm. First off, anybody that beats up a woman is a piece of shit. Then when that POS gets his ass whooped, Meriweather’s chicken-shit response is to fire some shots off, how pussy…

  • rob

    Looking back at when he was drafted, he had a bad rap. They took a chance on him and loss. At least the team knows well in advance and can prepare. Add safety to the list of needs.

  • Bubba Ray

    Not his first incident with a gun. While at Miami he and a roommate, off campus, were involved in a would be burglary incident that a gun was discharged.

  • CAPatsFan

    To remind everyone, it’s still all allegations, at this point. However, I’m not so sure he sticks with this team anyway (if there is a season this year?). There have been many rumors about him being cut, over the past few weeks. I think mgmt. might have thought with his rep, it was only a matter of time before that caught up with him?

  • Joe Joe

    If you listen to the attorney who is accusing Meriweather he is a joke he isnt a criminal Lawyer and If there was enough evidence the police would have had him a long time ago. HMMM I just got shot no one knows who did it…OK lets blame the richest guy here cause that’s how I will make the most money. Pathetic attempt to make money by the victim.

  • Roddy

    Well said, it is obvious there were not clear evidences cause he would have his ass locked up long ago. You can tell he is a punk from his way of hitting defenseless wide.

  • whitey

    Get rid of this goon!!! The guy is way overated!! I can’t believe he is involved in something like this! Even if he wasnt the shooter, he hangs around with a guy that beat a girl up?? Then he defends the guy when he is rightfully getting his butt kicked!! Nice job Brandon!! See ya–No way the team holds on to him.

  • tosh

    Meriweather sucks anyway the only thing he does is hit.. he doesn’t tackle! Way
    get rid of him

  • jerry

    i am not shocked at all the anti meriweather comments…if he were white, all these comments would be the opposite…let him have his day in court…but because he is black, he is a ghetto punk that is guilty of this crime…typical of you racist bostonians!!!!

  • Will

    And you wonder why I think all you people who live and die over sports are morons – Hey, I love sports as a diversion and entertainment. But it is not central to my life. So many in the NFL and NBA are felons, sport grotesque tattoos, chest thump like animals, and treat women like dirt that I just find it hard to get too rapt. I do watch a lot of college sporting events, mostly hockey and women’s basketball.

  • Vincent

    First off, were all gonna find out Meriweather is innocent and this is a blatant money-grab by these two losers and this joke of an attorney…@Jerry him being black has nothing to do with it, I guarantee you are a much bigger racist than anyone commenting on this thread. You hate and pre-judge white people simply based on their lack of color on their skin, and make broad sweeping comments on an entire city that is made up of lots of black people. Not once did anyone mention anything about his race, that is until your stupid a$$ popped up like a frightened turtle and threw it into the mix. The facts are the facts this kid has been involved in this type of situation before and its just one in a long line of stupid incidents.

  • Will

    Vincent, stupid incident? How about illegal, immoral, evil, despicable, and, unfortunately, typical of a large number of pro football and basketball players who attended college, hardly ever went to class, barely speak English, are basically illiterate, and are being used like pieces of meat by greedy owner and, yes, sick fans.

    Recchi is, was, and will always be a class act. Current players are a bunch of greedy pricks!
