Shawne Merriman Busted (Merged)

Link? Anything?

Good News

Shawne Merriman could be suspended by the time we play the Chargers for his domestic violence incident with Tila Tequila.

On PFT, they said that Tila is supposed to come out with her side of the story and it is far different from Merriman's. Here's to hoping he's gone when we play SD.

"Talking Smack."

This is "Other NFL Teams."

Take it to the smack board please, gang.

This goes for fans of both teams. We built that forum for a reason. Help us out.

Ya we will just have to go and cry about that and then use the tears to polish are 2 superbowl trophies.

Until your team wins two superbowls they are not even in the Broncos league.

Yeah, they're probably in need of some polishing because you got them so long ago, there's got to be tarnish building up on them.

Recent history between our respective teams has gone heavily in our favor, and that "trend" is likely to continue for awhile.

We're in your league, we're in your division, and we're obviously in your heads as well!

Well said. I also share the sentiments that some have expressed of "what the Hell is someone who is trying to show they're on the right track doing partying, during the season, with these types of people?"

Regardless of how the rest of it turns out, that question deserves some inquiry from fans that care about such matters I would think.

Welcome to the Brandon Marsh... I mean Shawne Merriman Fan Club. Luckily, we brought extra seats.

Oh, I really think a lot of us are watching this pretty closely. I wish we were watching game highlights instead of "Days of Our Lives". By the way, thanks for the chair.

Very good points. If Merriman, indeed, did try to stop her from driving it would have been an admirable thing. Physically trying to restrain a 98 pound adult woman is not. (Even though the term "adult" is questionable in this case)

Whether or not she was drunk doesn't have much to do with it. The fact that she was going to do something stupid and wrong doesn't mean he's allowed to choke her and hold her inside his house. He has a phone and can call the police too.

If he didn't choke her and didn't physically restrain her, then yeah, he's probably going to walk and rightly so.

But if he held her in place and especially if he harmed her in the process, he is in fact, guilty, of illegally restraining her.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Even if he had a good reason at heart, it's still against the law to restrain someone from leaving.

I hear the Pats are the most likely spot he'd go, but now that they're switching to the 4-3 I don't know anymore.

could you imagine? merriman AND the raiders 1st in 2011 haha

why us god?

[SheerCold]

oh and yeah, trading or letting merriman walk would free up alot of cash, if he's back to being healthy, i sure hope he lands in the nfc, and not on the pats

Well, atleast they can save some cap room for guys like Marcus McNeill and Castillo. I know you guys will need to retain them for sure.

Also, what's the deal with VJ didn't he get in trouble for DUI's or something?

i think charges were dropped with him

IMO he was probably more at fault in his case, than merriman was in this current case.

i can't even remember where VJ's case is currently, if it's still in the legal process then perhaps he's going to face a suspension at some point (probably the start of next season?) if the charges were dropped then i guess it's over and he got lucky (but with goodell it probably counts as a first offense or something)

i really can't recall

[SheerCold]

no we won't

unless he has some kind of ware-like monster year

i don't see it

Aj isn't going to want to keep a guy who is always in the news, on the team, even if he's 100% innocent in this case, and a hero

AJ is probably thinking , why is this guy partying during the season?


i think that's abig problem the chargers have to get over, they have alot of drinkers, they've got to fix that

according to reports he wasn't even drinking that night, but the whole party mentality has got to change for those guys especialy during the season


they're jeapordizing their futures for an instant high of a party

they need to be alot more responsible, and surround themselves with a better class of people (that goes for any nfl player who currently likes to party)

we've all seen what a night of partying brings....usually nothing good in terms of football

they've got all offseason to party, when you go to work, you should go to work.....

only read the first line sorry haha

Fair enough. Slow down, turbo. Some of us like the fans from other teams if they post reasonably. Hang around a while. You'll see. We have three or four Charger fans that are a big part of our community and we're glad they're here.

Relax and slow down... We're not all out to get you (though admittedly, most of us are - but not all).

[merrimanfan]

No, I'm not. I said "if."

Literacy for the win.

only read the first line sorry haha
