ChessPlayer1 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Atlanta Falcons pass on re-signing Prince ShemboLinebacker recently settled his court case in Gwinnett CountyStory by D. Orlando LedbetterMonday, August 17, 2015FLOWERY BRANCH The Atlanta Falcons have passed on re-signing linebacker Prince Shembo, who recently settled his court case in Gwinnett County.The Falcons signed three players and released one on Sunday to go back up the 90-man limit for training camp.I think that we are just happy right now where we are at with the linebackers, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said on Monday. Were just trying to like heck to keep working those guys as we are going through it.Felony animal-cruelty charges against Shembo were recently dismissed in Gwinnett County after he pleaded to a misdemeanor and a fine. Shembo, who was charged with killing his ex-girlfriends dog, on May 29, was immediately waived by the team.Because it was established that the dog bit Shembo first, the charges were reduced. He pleaded to a misdemeanor and a $1,000 fine.Shembo could still be subject to the NFLs player-conduct policy and may face a suspension if he re-signs with another team.Shembo allegedly kicked his ex-girlfriends small dog because it bit him. Shembo was in tears over his arrest and release from the team, attorney Jerry Froelich said at the time.He didnt mean to kill the dog, Froelich told reporters outside the Gwinnett County jail in late May.But the Yorkies injuries were extensive, according to police.In recent weeks, Shembo was seen working out at the L.A. Fitness in Buford.http://m.albanyherald.com/news/2015/aug/17/atlanta-falcons-pass-on-re-signing-prince-shembo/?templates=mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Good. Not talented enough to justify it. I'm sure some will say that nobody is talented enough to justify it, and that's a conversation that has already been had elsewhere. Unnecessary move.

delaigle Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 seriously they have 12 LBs on the roster now (after signing Manning)they will keep about 6 for the seasonwhere would Shembo fit?My guess is right now he would fit about even with #9 or #10so why bother?

Intellectually Honest Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Unf*cking believable. He gets a slap on the wrist. Tiny dog nips him and he stomps it to death. The prosecutor has the evidence to nail him but didn't because they are lazy, and want to get the ordeal over with. Some team will pick him up because it is about money, and people will forget because it's "just" a dog.It would be like if an 3 year old taps me, and I slam the child on the ground several times, causing the child's death, and my excuse is "the kid hit me first".There is no such thing as justice. It is a fairy tale we wish existed, but we know in our hearts never actually occurs. Edited August 18, 2015 by Intellectually Honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Chief Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I pray that this is the last shembo thread. The discussion that actually takes place has absolutely nothing to do with the falcons nor football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discussion that actually takes place has absolutely nothing to do with the falcons nor footballOh just you wait for him to get signed else where. And then wait for him to make a play.

Falcon-Itus Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think it was pretty clear this would happen. This guy has 2 near misses. Why wait for the 3rd possible strike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papachaz Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 i dont care about shembo or his off the field situation if you are looking for honesty.as most of us don't, I think his point in the post you responded to, is as soon as he gets signed and makes a tackle somewhere, there will be 19 threads on 'we should have kept him'kind of like the chase coffman threads after he caught that touchdown last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconidae Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 So, was it DLed who had the article about Falcons "talking" about bringing Shembo back? So, this would make two articles that DLed posted out of complete nonsense? Not sure whether to be sad or impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a fairy tale we wish existed, but we know in our hearts never actually occurs.You said "just" because it's a dog. How many investigations have you heard of where a dog or cat was run over by a car? Let's say you were looking at your radio and hit a dog while driving down the road, are you going to call the cops and confess to vehicular manslaughter? For someone to stomp a dog to death shows some pretty serious mental issues but comparing it to a child is a huge stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
