    This answers it. Apparently he was placed in the substance abuse protocol with his combine oopsie, so testing positive means suspension.

    I guess what l don’t get is if testing positive at the combine puts him in that protocol, how is that alone not a 4 game suspension? First offense right?

    Because he wasnt in the NFL at that point.

  • If he was arrested Sunday Night ... Did the Browns know this before they traded Coleman and before they let this kid have a press conference yeaterday?

    I doubt it. Players are supposed to report that shit.

    Bring back Lew Merlotti, nothing got past him.

    ? Not even Skippy's curve ball from the upper deck in Bottle Gate. Remember how terrified he was of Merletti? I'll never forget the day someone posted a picture of him in the wind-up with a Budweiser bottle up in the stands. I hit the deck LMAO! 

    Our conversation went something like this:  "Flugel, that ain't funny - I could lose my season tickets and go to court. That guy knows everything about everybody."    I said you'll be okay. Just tell him you're coaching that curve ball to little league kids; and all the ones with the hottest moms play the most.  You can also tell him, in spite of throwing the bottle, you're teaching kids sportsmanship like "We don't shake their hands until after we've kicked their asss!"  Merletti won't want to ruin that; especially if you slip him the same type of side cake you lose betting on all the wrong teams every weekend.

  • I know I'm shocked that giving a kid who repeatedly has committed criminal offenses a ton of money didn't magically turn him into Tim Tebow. 

    This isn't even a slam against the Browns specifically, but how we as a society coddle and enable talented athletes that have no business getting away with just about every thing, and then when they screw up again we act surprised.

    You should listen to all the knuckleheads here in FL acting like how in the world does Jameis Winston NOT GET IT?  Ummmm, let's see.  The girl he raped at Florida State was told by local police that from a safety standpoint - it's not a very good idea to pursue charges against the face of their football program in contention for a National Championship. Think about that...

    All TB fans were certain he learned his lesson until he groped an UBER Driver against her will.  Not to worry because THIS time he's just going to stop using alcohol moving forward.  Sound like a guy that has learned a thing in a state he's never had to? 

    Ironically/moronically, one of his biggest fans hosting the sports radio show down here before the draft said all teams should stay away from Baker Mayfield's character issues. His new thing is Ben Roethlisberger also had a female victim count of 2 that we know about and things couldn't be going any better for him today.  If he didn't have Rooney saving his assss behind the scenes - he'd be rooming with Winslow today...

    ...will no longer be a part of the NFL existence after the next collective bargaining agreement

    is it correct to assume the suspended license is what rendered a cops vehicle search? or who he was?  EDIT- i do read now,that the cops asked him if they could search his car. He responded Yes... car state transfer should have come with a free vacuum cleaning to get the foreign bugs out😉

    3 a.m he's black and possibly driving a nice car is why he got pulled over

    I mean c'mon failing to yield to uncoming traffic ? in Strongsville ? what traffic ?

  • So as I expected Callaway claims it’s not his weed. Had his car shipped from Florida where others had been driving it. Shaky but who knows lol. If I’m the Browns I drug test him today. If he fails nuff said. If he pees clean perhaps his story holds some water.

    Sounds like a good way to handle it to me.

  • Does anyone know the facts of what this means for the dude if he tests positive?

    l mean yeah, big dumbass yadda yadda and maybe he will get cut, but what is the NFL protocol for his current state of dimbassery for testing positive?

    Or....as said above....what does it mean if he tests negative?

    I am not sure that the NFL will care if that is the case.....just being caught in possession of it....even if he did not ingest it would probably trigger something in the protocol.

    Exactly, it's a typical BS excuse cops use to pull someone over when they're bored at 3AM. Burned out headlight, didn't use turn signal, weaving. I'll assume his car still had Florida plates on it- another excuse- what's a car with out of state plates doing driving around that time of night, so I'll make up some BS that's hard to refute in court. So I can stop him. Don't doubt for a second Callaway was being trailed until said didn't yield happened. 

    Gip can correct me on this, but driving with a suspended license, you can get whacked with up to 6 months in jail, and a $1,000 fine.  The fine for a small amount of weed will be incidental. Past criminal charges may come into play how hard they're going to come down on him. He's also gonna get reamed for not immediately telling the team he got busted. If he comes up with a failed drug test, he just might get cut, and football career pretty much over before it started. 

  • He had guns and ammo in his car........no issue isn't that the norm in America ?

    I’m betting he got popped at a roundabout. Not everyone knows how to navigate those things and there’s a crap ton of ‘em up that way.

    Random musings l’m seeing from not very credible sources on the interwebs seem to indicate that even if he tested positive it will elevate him to stage 2, but apparently stage 3 is where suspensions come in. 

    So it very well may be true that the suspended license will be the more serious issue for him. He’s clearly on the fast track though. Perhaps a record for quickest ascension to stage 2 for an NFL player. Goals.

  • Before coming to the Browns, Antonio's name is attached to..

    - Fraud

    - Sexual Battery

    - Two possession counts while  in school

    - Failing a test while at the combine

    I don't believe the phrase second chance is accurate. 

  • Antonio Goaway

    Some suspension carry the penalty you mention along with additional suspension time.  Some are not quite as harsh.  

    If you want to know how I would handle it in my court, I could tell you...

    but first I also need to know if he was also charged with possession of drug paraphenalia.   Often that is a double kicker.   They can charge you with possession of MJ....but also possession of paraphenalia......which can literally be anything.    The paper you roll a joint in.  The baggie you store it in.  Obviously a pipe or some such other object.   That just adds another 150 max fine charge.  Again, not really a big deal....but just more fuel to the flame.

    The suspended license IS the more serious offense for him.......as it relates to his issues before the court of law.

    But his real issues have NOTHING to do with the court of law....but with the terms of his employment as a NFL player.

    Word coming out is that he had gun parts and ammo as well.  

    The kid was a mess coming out from UF and only hung around people of the same caliber.   

  • Supposedly he had gun parts and ammo in the car also.    -  He's just misunderstood.

    I heard that the officer said that he was cooperative and polite and that he knew he was a Browns player and didn't want to have to cite him.....but he had to.

    I wonder if the CFL would even take him. Probably not.  😆

    Oh sweet baby Jesus, this reminds me of when Gerard "Big Money Wasted" got popped in Pittsburgh by the police and Carmen Policy told the world that the police told him that a nicer person ever arrested cannot be found, anywhere. ?

  • Oh well...

    He can always go back to making golf clubs.
