Tigris Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 If true... how dumb. If no charges are pressed, no harm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hopefully this puts Rey into a different position than MLB. His previous DUI in Covington was a pretty bad one...if he gets charged here, he's going to face a suspension. And deservedly so if he's at fault.

texbengal Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 He's a new father, and he's admitted that he's got a drinking problem. And he's hanging out in bars and reportedly punching people. Even if there aren't charges filed, I hope he gets more help because it sounds like he needs it.

[/quote] In college he had a drinking related offense and was also in trouble for punching a man in the face and ordered to take anger management courses. Its a shame he can't have more aggression on the field and less off the field. I actually did a paper on athletes as violent offenders in college, and athletes that came from more contact sports were more likely to be violent offenders than those of sports like tennis and other sports. The one thing that many experts are unsure of, is violent people more prone to play violent sports, or do sports with more contact breed violence in people.

[/quote] Maybe the Bengals coaches need to treat him like the Waterboy and tell him to imagine the other team's quarterback is a manager at a local sports bar and would actually want to hit him. Then they can tell him to imagine the other team's runningback is Erin Andrews so he will make sure to get on top of him and proceed to get him on the ground and hump him while slapping him in the back of the helmet. Ok, I'd just be happy if he gets the runningback on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 [b]BENGALS: [/b]The manager of a bar in downtown Cincinnati says Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga was involved in a fight there this past weekend, according to [url="http://www.fox19.com/story/16903662/bengals"]Fox19[/url]. Maualuga is accused of punching a manager at Luxe, according to the report. "One of them said something at which point I repeated myself, that they had to leave, and then Rey Maualuga got up, took three or four steps and punched me in the face, more noticeably the eye, then my nose started to bleed," said Sammy Laham, Luxe manager. [b]Hensley's slant[/b]: Maualuga hasn't been charged, and Cincinnati Police are still investigating the incident. But this is still the worst way for any team to start the offseason, especially one with the history of the Cincinnati Bengals.
