Somewhere that OL guy is like "TOLD YOU SO"

[rounz 2,486]

Oh man!

Deja vu all over again

[AtlantaFanatic 5,245]

I won't judge him or call him guilty without more information but IF this is true and it really happened that way, he's lost all respect from me and I don't want him to be a Falcon anymore.

[paulitik 15,113]

I was already weary about the rape accusations where a girl committed suicide at Notre Dame, but hoped the Falcons did enough homework to justify drafting him.

He needs to be gone yesterday.

[Herr Doktor 3,151]

Here we go. Cut his *** now.

[north falcon 536]

Throw that piece of **** in jail.

[Dirtybird56 4,560]

Cya Shembo. Could've had a nice role in our SAM spot. ******* unbelievable

[Jpowors 33,035]

Big Rob's next account incoming in 3..2..1...

[FalconsInCanada 163]

You've got to be kidding me, if true, he needs to be cut immediately.

Adrian Peterson didn't get kicked off the team for baby cruelty, so I dunno.

[Lornoth 10,554]

**** man... He looked good last year too. Disappointed as ****.

Did he kill his kid? Get a brain transplant.

Shembo is not even an 8th of the player that Peterson is and Blank won't allow it after the Vick fiasco.

Thanks to Vick, Falcons players will never be able to get past an animal cruelty case.

Yeah, he only mutilated the kid's genitals with a switch. No big deal.

One thing to be thankful for that whole mess.

He'll be back. Babineaux killed his girlfriend's dog, got caught with Gunja on I-85 North and signed two more deals. Maybe buddy is using the Force on the Filter.

"There is no weed in this truck.

Nope looks pretty clean to me.

You don't see a dead dog here.

Nope captain we don't see any carcasses on the property. You're free to go sir."

[Beast-N-Da-Sheetz 2,545]

**** Shembo!

[DawnOfThemBirds 12,624]

Must have been a small dog, him facing felony charges would've been the least of his worries if it was a bigger dog.

NFL players are going crazy this offseason.

Bears just cut Ray McDonald for having another domestic dispute(2nd one within less than a year) and endangering his child. He was arrested again just a few days later for violating the restraining order his baby's mother had on him.

Babs killed his gf's dog? I didnt know that

Babs killed his dog a few years ago, but apparently it was a self-defense situation. Not sure I buy it, but he kept his spot.

That said, I think Shembo should be gone. We don't need this on our team.

[FentayeJones 20,787]

I think I'll wait for more details before I go off the deep end.

[Mr. Lubba Lubba© 1,446]

Did he kill his kid? Get a brain transplant.

Didn't know he killed a dog, just kicked it.. didn't see the killed part

Why so mad?

[slamee101 7,045]

He'll be released soon as he should be.

Georgia Code Ann. 16-12-4 et seq.

Animal Cruelty is defined as: “causes death or unjustifiable physical pain or suffering to any animal by an act, an omission, or willful neglect. Willful neglect means the intentional withholding of food and water required by an animal to prevent starvation or dehydration.” This is a misdemeanor with a fine up to $1000 and/or imprisonment for up to 1 year. A second or subsequent conviction carries of fine of up to $5000 and imprisonment for up to 1 year. A second or subsequent conviction which resulted in the death of an animal will be a misdemeanor of “a high and aggravated nature” with imprisonment for a minimum 3 months, maximum 12 months and/or a fine up to $10,000.

I couldn't find any info on felony animal cruelty sentencing, but going by the severity of these misdemeanors, I'd guess he's doing at least a year if convicted.
