It was also in the height of the post Jamal Lewis, me too movement, NFL over reaction period. Cancel culture at its best. Just awful.

He had multiple incidents, not just the hotel incident caught on video. I said at the time that the kid needed to "bottom out" so that he would realize he had a problem and actually take the steps to get better.
He did that. It took a while but he did it. Now he gets to be a true redemption story. It ended up working out for all parties. |

"working out" isn't exactly how I'd put it...but it could've been worse.

I dunno, maybe don't be stupid enough to get caught on video knocking a woman to the ground and then kicking her? Ain't THAT hard to do.

At the rate he was going, he could have easily ended up in prison. He needed a "come to Jesus" and he got one. |

That's the kind of thing that someone who NEEDED to be knocked down a peg or two would've done. I don't think he's a sympathetic figure in all of this - because even AFTER this, he had some pretty damn odd decisions that showed a clear maturity issue. Something needed to change. But you can still appreciate that it did and he now finds himself on the verge of fulfilling a lifelong dream.

Of course. You kind of need to **** up to even have a redemption arc. But there's a ton of folks here that STILL want to hand wave away what he did and act like he was a victim of unfortunate circumstances, which is complete and utter bullshit.
