Pouncey in the news again

[birtikidis]

Actually hernandez was not liked by many of his team mates fwiw.

A lot of that came out after the fact, but i have never heard a negative thing said about pouncey unless it was a fan who didnt like him because of 4 go-to things

1) An Aaron Hernandez hat....ill advised, but I have friends who went the wrong way too doesnt make me a criminal. Would i go to a club and wear a hat like that? No, but i probably wouldnt go to a club, i probably wouldnt expect anyone to give a **** if i did, and I am a lot smarter than pouncey and most pampered athletes that get to coast through school
2) Tweets...just retarded to care imo, but people love to find something
3) Hes "overrated and regressed since his rookie year" just a go to saying of people who dont know what regression means
4) Hes injury prone (missed 3 games and had a knee blown out for the year, does have delicate ankles though)


yawn, call me when something of substance comes up

I lived in Gainesville when the Pouncey's were at UF (as was Hernandez).
NO ONE liked Hernandez. My buddy worked at a bar as a bouncer and when Hernandez came in they ALWAYS called someone to come in even when they were off.
On the other hand, the Pouncey's were well regarded. I remember reading an article about Hernandez and how Meyer asked Tebow to live with him. Same thing with Rainey, though he lived with the Pouncey's prior to college because he had no where else to go.

I judge their actions...horrific and brutal. Only God can judge the person...and I will leave that to him. FYI-Pouncey isn't any of those three...just a young guy who does some knuckle headed things from time to time...being judged by you as a bad person.

Did Pouncey just get compared to Hitler, Bin Laden AND Jazz Hands? Holy sh!t..

[feltdizz]

He is correct in saying we all judge. But, there is a difference in judging actions and people. I do my best to do the first without doing the second. Why? Because I don't have their past, present or future. It's kind of like an ugly man bragging about being loyal to his wife...would he be loyal if he was hung like a race horse and had the face of Brad Pitt? Would he be loyal with 10's knocking down his door? Most likely not. Most people are capable of evils they judge others of if only presented with the right opportunity. I don't have Pouncey's women lining up to sleep with a hairy 5 foot 6 man....they are not knocking down my door to "get with this". Me judging Pouncey according to my "righteous living" is short sighted at best. What about those who were horrifically abused as children...were born with a genetic condition of some sort...do we judge them in the same light? Measure them...and if they don't meet the mark they are bad people...scum...unworthy human beings?

Only issue I have is stripping them of football and judging them like you and I...

its like taking out the long runs before getting a RB's average. It doesnt make any sense.

The onl reason we care about these guys is because they play football.

Alleged victim of assault says he’ll sue the Pouncey twins

Posted by Mike Florio on July 15, 2014



The man who has accused the Pouncey twins of assaulting him plans to go on the assault himself.

According to NBC 6 in Miami, 24-year-old Riquan James (who had identified himself in online posts as Ricky Vasquez) has announced plans to sue the Pounceys for injuries allegedly inflicted at the Cameo Nightclub on Saturday. Steelers center Maurkice and Dolphins center Mike Pouncey, who were celebrating their 25th birthday at the club, allegedly taunted James.

“From there, somebody grabbed me and I got hit,” James told NBC 6. “Somebody lifted me up and dragged me out of the club. I was being beat up, I was getting punched and kicked. A bottle hit me.”

Via NBC 6, James has alleged on social media that he was punched, that he has a chipped tooth, and that he suffered a cut that was closed with 10 stitches. James also contends that the Pounceys used gay slurs.

We’d heard in the aftermath of the initial allegations that the preliminary evidence suggested that the Pounceys did not assault James. Of course, that may not matter when the time comes to pull the lever on the litigation slot machine.

The whole "We shouldn't judge others" thing is retarded. Some like throwing that phrase around and at the same time, support a govt. that puts people on trial to be JUDGED by a jury of their peers. We also vote in people to act as JUDGES where they do exactly that: they judge others. So, where, in this F'd up assertion does it make sense that we are not to judge others? Now, generally speaking, is it more wise not to RUSH to judgement of others? Yes, I believe it is. But the whole concept about never judging others is preposterous. Our entire society is set up on a system of judging others. How about your credit score? You are being judged. Personally, I believe I have heard and seen enough of this clown Pouncey to makes some evaluations, and those evaluations point to a guy who is a douche and kind of a jerk. You can claim it just comes with the territory of being a millionaire NFL player, but if that were the case, explain all those that are in similar positions who are still generally nice guys. How can that be? I have met lots of NFL players, and there are plenty of good, decent guys. You don't have to turn into an a hole like Pouncey.

You mean to tell me because this guys has millions of dollars, is in the spot light he isn't allowed to be poor misunderstood rich kid ? Don't you know these guys are the victims ?

It is also akin to granting permission not to be taken seriously...

If you are agreeing with sicbeats, there is a very good chance you are in the wrong.
