Mattyc Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 per Bengals.com 1 game and two game checks for crap last year. This is absolutely ridiculous. 4:25 p.m. The Bengals have been notified by the NFL that cornerback Johnathan Joseph has been suspended without pay for one game and it will be this Sunday at Kansas City. A Bengals' press release issued Tuesday said the suspension is for violating the NFL Substance Abuse Policy. Joseph will also be fined an additional game check for the week following when they play the Jets. Joseph's penalty relates to his arrest in Kentucky last January for possession of marijuana. After accepting a diversionary arrangement, he has since complied fully with all league and law-enforcement obligations in regard to resolving the matter, and his case has now been dismissed by Kentucky authorities, the release said. Joseph may not attend practices this week, but will be allowed to attend meetings and to work out individually at team facilities. He will be able to rejoin all team activities Monday.

Jason Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Better to lose him for KC than Pitt, or any of our previous games. Maybe it will help his foot get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's have guy who decides he is going to threaten hundreds if not thousands of drivers when he is driving under the influence on 2 occassions (likely more) vs. a guy who had weed in a backpack and by the way was not charged with driving under the influence (which includes drugs other than alchohol).

ItsTime Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I fully support Goodell in his efforts to try and reduce the "drugs and thugs" element inside the NFL. This is not Goodell's fault. Marvin and the FO knowingly drafted players with "poor to no" character. This is but another sad situation that reflects on Marvin, the FO, the Bengals, and our city, not Goodell.

The way he has applied his policy, it looks less like a system governed by rules and a rational process, and more like a little man who was given power and dishes out punishments wherever he pleases, beyond reproach of course.

Take your sanctimonious attitude somewhere else. These are YOUNG MEN, not friggin CHOIR BOYS. I'll bet at least 50% of the NFL players smoke pot (especially during the off season). Fuck GODell--he obviously has it in for the Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not argue that the league needs to reduce the drugs and thugs. But do you seriously believe that 2 dui's is less of an offense than a weed possession charge, where Joseph the driver was not even convicted of dui? At least, IMHO, this is about fairness. To me a weed possession does not even equal a dui. Then throw in 2 dui's which means there is a habitual problem and a serious risk to society.
