didz Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 "Mike Murlarkey is that MAN." - Shahid Khan. Way to go Jags, you just wasted a pick on a diva Wide receiver. But of course the marks here will say, DUI's happen all the time and has nothing do with character. In my view, if your making that kind of money and you can't afford to call a friend or get a taxi to drive you home, your character should be questioned.

DD: Objective Elite Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 You mean like a WR making it rain in a strip club? I'm sure he wasn't drinking.The difference is having a drink at a strip club isn't against the law. While not only is drinking and driving against the law, people have been injured and killed as a result.Nice try though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he straightens up, Lord knows we need as few out there driving drunk is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Lubba Lubba© Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 It's a headline, just like it was when Pacman Jones did it. Falcon players are not above poor judgement. Ask BabsLMAO. It was a headline because, gee I don't know, three people were shot outside the club after a brawl broke out between Pacman's posse and some bouncers. Pacman allegedly grabbed a stripper by the hair and punched her in the face. Pacman and his posse were kicked out. You seriously think this is the same thing as Julio Jones in a strip club?I know Georgia is in the bible belt, but c'mon man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are right that there will probably be a short suspension, but is that really enough and will it really impact the team or his career?

Is This What You Want? Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Ok I missed something somewhere what falcons WR was at a strip club and how do we even know that?Last week Julio Jones was at a strip club in vegas with some other players (Vonn Miller and Aldon Smith). The article says "they" were making it rain, doesn't actually say Julio was although he probably was. http://www.lvrj.com/news/beauty-bubbles-over-at-absinthe-154397055.htmlI personally do not care. What he does in his own time is not a concern of ours, especially if it is not against the law. I can't judge, I have made it rain in a strip club multiple times in the past, and probably will again in the future. Hopefully one day I can do it with Julio!!

muskokas finest © Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 You sound like the guy who never had an ounce of fun in his life.Nobody is following me around with a camera, looking to spin whatever I do into news.What is the first thing a cop does upon seeing a SUV full of young black men, leaving the strip club? He runs the plates. Is it fair? Of course not. Why put yourself in situations that can spin out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the cop was profiling?It's not about legality, It's about attracting attention versus avoiding the headlines.Um no its about doing something dangerous and careless like putting people's lives at risk by driving drunk. If someone wants to go to a club i have no problem with that. Obviously i'd prefer he stay out of the headlines, but that is no where near as big of a deal as driving drunk.

I'm sorry your life hasn't turned out the way you want JC, but you have to accept responsibility for that. Feeble attempts to knock down others, doesn't make you a bigger man. Quite the opposite in fact. Man up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
