Shawn Rodgers' arrest a good thing for the Browns?

You don't need to worry about carrying a loaded gun in your car.
Just don't have it concealed.
If you get stopped, take it from it's concealed place and toss it in the back seat so the officer doesn't feel threatened and tell him/her it is there as soon as they approach.
People need to quit acting like a loaded gun is a bad thing.....a unloaded gun is a bad thing. Why have it if it's unloaded??? Just carry a ballpeen hammer...they work better for smashing someone in the head than the butt end of a gun.

I would advise against touching your gun anywhere around a police officer, and especially do not "toss it in the back seat". That is the best way to get your ass shot, or at minimum, yanked out of the car window by your throat. Your call, though....

Once he serves his punishment, both criminally and by the Commish, i'm fine with him playing for the Browns or any other team that may want him. He looked sorrowful on the news, but hey i'm a forgiving guy.
i can't believe he claims that he didn't know he had a loaded gun in his bag..........

Me, a bleeding heart? An asshat? You obviously don't know me "son". But sounds like you have anger management issues that need to be dealt with dick head.
why am i not surprised that went over your head?
and your psychiatric skills need help. point was, you're very quick to judge sitting behind your keyboard, solja.....
sometimes, people make mistakes. you just fleew off the handle a bit at the mere mention of a firearm.

Nice try troll. To bad grabbing a strippers ass isnt the same as forcing a woman to have sex with him like that pissburgh quarterback has to do.

Big Shawn Rodgers is taking a beating for the mistake he made yesterday at Cleveland Hopkins Airport. The media and fans are relentlessly blasting with him for jeopardizing his playing career as well as subsequently diminishing his trade value. I have been reading all off season that the Browns should trade Big Shawn in order to maximize his value, due to his age and history of laziness. However, all we could get from him (pre arrest that is) was most likely a 4th or maybe a low 3rd.
Maybe I am in the minority with this position, but I think that if we would have traded him for a mid round pick or package him in a deal for a mediocre player, it would have been a mistake. He is a playmaker on a team that lacks playmakers. He is a probowl Nose Tackle that eats up blockers and fits a 3-4 scheme perfectly. I know the Browns' Defense and Rubin played well after his injury, but I attribute that to more aggressive play calling and Mangini and Ryan desperately making changes to save their jobs. I think that Rodgers will be an even better player due to a revamped LB crew (Gocong, Fujida, Jackson, Roth) and now two solid CB's that can play man to man, not just zone (a la Brandon McDonald). Now that he is almost untradable, we may actually find out just how good he can be.
Now, if you think about it, this incident really isn't that big of a deal. I think most of us realize that Rodgers did not intentionally try to sneak a gun on the plane. He was not going to Hijack a plane in the name of Jihad. He did have a concealed weapons permit, and is legally allowed to carry a concealed weapon in Ohio. Now, that being said, he was reckless in not checking his bag prior to going through security. For that fact alone, he will probably be suspended, but not for as long as you may think.
This time last year, Marshawn Lynch was suspended by Goodell after pleading guilty to carrying a concealed weapon without a permit in his car. He received a 3 game suspension. That's not that long for someone who was not suppose to have a gun in the first place. In 2007, Carolina Panthers OL Jeremy Bridges was suspended for 2 games for pointing a loaded gun at a stripper at a parking lot. 2 games... I would be surprised if Rodgers received more than a 3 game suspension. I can live with that. But I want him back on the field and in a Browns uniform for the rest of the season.
As far as jail time... won't happen. Most he will get is probation. Remember, he has the money for great legal defense.
Look, there is a reason why there are xray machines and metal detectors at the airport. It is to keep guns off airplanes. That is, either from terrorists, criminals and idiot gun owners who forget to disarm. As a former police officer, I personally know and have heard of several officers who mistakenly went through security with their duty weapons (of course, they weren't charged). It happens.
I'm actually happy this happened. It was a victimless crime and something that is not as bad as people are making it out to be. It ensures that Rodgers will not be traded due to his trade value dwindling. I do not believe that the Browns will give up such an important piece of their defense for a low round pick or just release him because of a mistake that happens quite a bit.
I would hardly call attempting to bring a concealed weapon onboard an aircraft a "victimless crime". He made the mistake or whatever it was, and I hope they can his ass.

Amen.......the lazy fat overrated part time player is NOT what a winner wants anchoring a defense. He is so overrated it is amazing. He stank last year, we coulda dumped him for a third when the league was reading the phoney clips about him. He will be out of football in two years.

Wow this country has become truly pussified.
The man made a simple mistake. It happens. He's had a concealed carry permit for 7 years. This is not a big deal. a lot happens at the airport, he probably intended to check his bags but something caused his plan to change and he forgot about the gun.

You are right. A guy that is 350 pounds and as good an athlete as he is really is pussified if he thinks he needs to carry a gun around.

He's not pussified. He's from Texas, everyone has a gun in Texas, he moved to Detroit, everyone needs a gun in Detroit, and now he's in Cleveland traveling to Detroit and Texas. He's a pretty rich and well-known person but outside of that, he's from Texas! I repeat, everyone has a gun in Texas. I really think he just forgot about it. My aunt actually used to carry a gun with her everywhere she went, yes even airplanes, until post 9/11 when her gun was confiscated at Hopkins. No charges were filed and she wasn't even registered. It was just something she always did. I have to beleive it's the same for Rogers who is from Texas and lived in Detroit. People keep saying he must of known where his gun was but honestly, I don't think that's true. If you do something that long, you don't really think abiut it anymore. Granted, it was irresponsible, but I don't think it makes him stupid or criminal. He F'ed up and that's that. I doubt he'll even get punished by the courts but Goodell may waive a heavy hand at him.
I'm not mad at ya Shaun! And I still think we can get a 2nd rounder for ya!

Maybe he likes guns. So what. It's his right, regardless.
By the way, a man could be 7'10" and weigh 500 pounds and still be killed from the bullet from a .22. Or a stab from a knife. I would have thought that most adults know that size does not matter, even in hand-to-hand combat.

what an excuse! the gun was cocked and had a bullet in the chamber. i understand that some places he frequents you might need personal protection. HEY GUESS WHAT, DON'T GO TO THOSE PLACES!!! have mom and your your hood friends over to your place. you also proved a theory of mine: TEXAS SUCKS!!

Shaun is from LaPorte, Texas which is right outside of Houston and up the road from my hometown. The crime rate is usually not too high there. 2.1 crimes per 1000 pop (vs 11.2 in Houston). In 2003, there was one homicide in that town. Don't assume that having the gun is because he's from Texas. I'm from Texas and I don't carry a gun. Plaxico Burress isn't from Texas. Allen Iverson isn't from Texas.
PS: A bullet in the chamber + cocked gun = literally as stupid as you can be
