    That may eventually happen and "clear the air" on personal use of marijuana maybe in the offseason.  The NFL does still have the right to have work rules.

    Now stuff like this is still bad to have on your resume.......

    .........After getting pushed, Ottinger came back at Hunt and appeared to punch him in the face before several men hustled Hunt into a hallway and out of view of the camera. The video, which has no sound, shows Ottinger follow Hunt into the hallway and say something to the player, who breaks free and pushes a man into Ottinger, sending them both to the ground and her face-first into a wall.

    As several people, including another woman, appeared to grab Hunt to keep him away from Ottinger, Hunt is seen kicking her as she squats on the floor, knocking her to the ground again.

    Hunt was not arrested nor charged in the incident.......

    Yeah, I think we are all aware of what he did before.

    And so unfortunately are all of the football and even some non-football people in the USA.

    Maybe he better go do some good things like plant trees or pick up trash along the highway.......oh wait that may be coming next.   ( that just popped into my head, honest)

    Oh well when is the Draft ?    😕

    Maximum Punishment is  $150 fine.    (plus potential license suspension.....which is a far worse punishment than the fine)

    I have meted out hundreds of sentences for this.  

    The speeding charge could actually carry a harsher penalty. (other than the suspension)

    It's against NFL rules magistrate.

    For now, yes.  After next CBA?   It shouldn't be.  All things considered. 

  • This has nothing to do with the legality of this situation. Just more poor judgement.

    Possibly so.  Until said time one has to follow the stated rules.  Because the rules might change isn't a mitigating factor.

    That said, I hope he tests negative.

  • I'm pretty sure this is a non story, but of course I said that about Callaway too.

    I agree. The fool put himself under a microscope. He should be keeping himself so clean that he squeaks. Instead, he gets in a car that smells of pot & speeds. Simply STUPID!

    Let's give the guy that brought him here some credit in all this too. We also have him being out at a bar at an hour a bar fight broke out while he was still under suspension.  The trend shows REFUSES to learn.  Just be thankful we have the complete opposite in Nick Chubb who remains dedicated to his team and his profession on and off the field.  How bad is Andy Reid hurting without Hunt?

    I'm looking forward to the day that the NFL doesn't bother testing for weed.

    Nailed it. Just move on. NO true coach would put up with this. Tuna? Jimmy? Hoodie? Noll? 

  • NFL players are the dumbest people on the planet.  No tag for this stupid KHunt

  • The dope heads will make excuses for Hunt claiming it's a non story because it's a legal recreational drug in a lot of other states. Meanwhile Hunt has made the organization look bad. What did he do for the Browns last season? Nothing comes to mind does it? I'd package him in a trade. Hasta la vista

    LOL! What plays exactly was he tasked to do? Two different questions because of an inept playcaller.

    I wouldn't go that far some no most are decent people like any demographic group of people.  BUT like in any group there's always the rotten apples that give the whole bunch a rotten name.

    For every Hunt, OBJ,  Garrett, ABrown and a few others there are many decent players out there.

    Cleveland just has attracted a few on this team, great players -but- in the headlines for the wrong reasons.  Lack of team discipline has just fueled the fire.

    FWIW Flugs- my brother lives in the the area where that bar incident happened, and his wife knows the guy who owns the bar. Seems the Wickliffe Police are Browns fans, and didn't see anything worth mentioning.   🙂

    He has little trade value, maybe they could get a 6th.

    wait a freaking minute. Garrett hasn't done anything off the football field, right? Don't lump him in with the other two. OBJ, HUNT, and ABROWN would be valid.

       I just think, if a player gets into trouble more than once...football isn't that important to him. And you don't win with the players who don't care.

    Suspensions/investigations/scandals...late for meetings, locker room cancer... distractions can ruin a teams chances to focus on winning week by week.

  • So what is wrong here. NFL players get suspended for smoking the hippie lettuce, yet Roger Gotohell has Snoop Dog hanging around for various NFL activities .  Double standard??

    Great point.  Hunt is an elite NFL running back.  Period.  Who smokes.  Who cares.  Just slow down on the roads.

  • It's worse than we thought TMZ has video of the pullover where he admits he'd fail a drug test to the officer. NFL's definitely going to be involved now.

    It will depend whether or not he's in the NFL drug protocol, and subject to testing in the off season- like our old pal Puffy Gordon. I'd think domestic violence ≠ automatically put you in drug testing. I wouldn't worry too much about the weed. The open vodka bottle is problematic- and he should be thankful the cop didn't haul him down to the station and test for DUI- which would definitely have gotten Hunt in big trouble, if he's not already. Just an open container is an aggravating circumstance, and you can get a ticket for that even if you're sober as a judge. 

    You want to talk about lack of judgement- Kareem has to know one more screw up, and he's not going to be playing football again for a very long time- and probably not with the Browns.
