Well now what… Talib and Arrington are free agents and Dennard is done. So we have no corners… Talib isn’t worth the franchise tag. It might just be a good idea to pay him and go find another corner in the draft or in the free agents that isn’t a money hog but could be like Dennard. We need a tough guy. 

Ras-I Dowling, Malcolm Williams, & McCourty

Now we find out whether the judge is a Pats fan (probation/fine) or Pats hater (3-5 in the big house)

I hate to say this but the kid gets what he deserves . It stinks for the Pats but hey they knew the risk when they drafted him .

Hey..now they have more money to pay that dwarf Welker……

Don’t forget that Talib has issues too.  He graduated from my local high school.  http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/bucs/content/timeline-aqib-talibs-troubles

he wont serve jail time….im sure something like 3 years suspended sentence and community service. He has no choice but to be a model citizen for the next few years. Otherwise, he probably will serve jail time.

He was a 7th round pick, so he isn’t costing you anything on the cap.  He is probably the best value on the team.

The best part? He was found not guilty of assaulting the guy that the policeman was trying to arrest him for assaulting!

I also like how the proof of injury is that a “physician assistant” prescribed ibuprofen, AKA Advil, two days later.

So, two cops got together and had a different story than Dennard.   To me there is a 50% chance he did only push them and the cops exagerated.  

You’re not funny.

At least he graduated.

How can you make a irresponsible statement like that?
You were NOT at the trial, don’t know the judge, or anything
else  concerning this case other than what you read in the
newspaper.

The bumbling personnel guy has screwed up the great coach once again

How do YOU know that ? Were you at the trial.
You know nothing so don’t speculate.

We need a tough guy that can obey our laws and not
get arrested.

This is a sports blog.  Speculating is primarily what we do…

 How do you know? You were there? Or you think all cops and Abe Lincoln worthy persons who don’t lie or pre judge?
I mean if you there perhaps can give us detailed account of exactly what happened.

 u r a fool. The kid won’t go to jail and he is the best CB on the team doesn’t have baggage or attitude issues of Talib.

Will you people stop it.  This is good news if I must say so.  He will get probation which will put him on his best behavior for the next two years and he will have no choice but to focus.  Expect to see his playing improve.  Pay talib and volmer, franchise welker, cut lloyd for a serious deep threat and we are super bowl bound.

punch a cop get 3-5 years..?

when cops kill innocent people they get
adminstrative paid leave and a slap on the back

only in america!

If he ends up serving time in jail, this may be more of a detriment to the defense than not re-signing Talib!

We don’t even know what he “gets” and you say he deserves it?  If he gets probation or 5 years it’s all the same to you?  Yes the Pats understood, and took the risk, and they still are – just closer to knowing how it pans out.  This kid is not done. 

 More like 99%.  Cops are infamous for lying in court.

I doubt he will do much, if any jail time. Would the State of Nebraska be so short sighted, as to support him in prison for a year, when they can just impose the $10,000 fine and be done with him. It isn’t as if he will be starting any trouble in Nebraska. If he gets in any further trouble, then they can bring the hammer down and lock him up.

Who cares, the kid can cover.

The man just trying to screw the innocent over.

He won’t do any time

FREE THE FONZ!!!!!!!

if it is his first offense he will most likely get probation

Meanwhile that killer from the movie Boys Don’t Cry (took place in Nebraska) is trying to appeal his murder conviction and claims he is innocent.  This guy makes one mistake and could get 6 years.  What a joke.  He should get a fine.  Probation.  Maybe one day in jail or something.  Anything beyond that is grandstanding.

Why is ANYONE surprised when professional football players, i.e, adults trained and paid well to hit the be-jesus out of anything that moves, are tried and/or convicted of crimes involving physical assault?  This is just another dope that would be added to the unemployment line if professional football didn’t exist….now we have to pay to feed him.

75-80% is my guess.

McCourty sucks as a corner

Ah, the “Patriot Way” at work once again….if the Pats are lucky enough and this thug doesn’t do any time ( just like Talib, another thug ) he very well might get suspended by Goodell; oh wait Krafty Bob would have a word with his friend Roger and that won’t happen so you’re all set there as long as the some judge in Nebraska falls in line.

Now there’s a surprise. 2 policemen testifying in support of a fellow cop. Can there be any doubt of guilt? LOL
I wonder how many impartial witnesses the prosecution found…and did they even look.

Racist much? How the hell do you know anything about this kid or his intelligence?

bguy, read my comment.  I said 50/50 chance he did this.  Difference between speculate and state a fact.   Eveybody can have opinions and speculate based on information or there wouldn’t be any comments about the case.   If there were no independent witnesses saying he punched a cop, then it is fine for somebody to speculate there is a chance he was telling the truth and the 2 cops were lying. 

Hey, get this straight if they say he did, he did it. You take 6 or 12 brain dead idiots, stick em on a jury, and they would convict Jesus Christ. My gut feeling is Dennard was defending himself, that three cops all testified that Dennard hit this cop puts him in a very tight corner, and he is going to pay the price. It used to be when I was young that police were respected. Those days are gone forever. Anyone who has an encounter with these cops had better think twice. Cops are above the law and they know it, they can and do employ deadly force as the slightest provocation, or anything they perceive as provocation. People like Dennard place themselves in these situations and play right into the hands of police who thrive on whuppin up a guy and then arresting him for defending himself. 

Look for 60 to 90 days. He will get some time because his lawyer tried to cut a deal for no time and just probation before he stood trial and state said no way. So Alfonzo bring your toothbrush on the 11th. Hope you learned your lesson.
