Eagles DE Michael Bennett has been indicted on a felony charge of injuring a 66-year-old paraplegic woman at Super Bowl 51.

The 66-year-old woman was working at Houston's NRG Stadium trying to control access to the field. A warrant in the state of Texas has been issued for Bennett's arrest. Then a member of the Seahawks, Bennett attended the Super Bowl to watch his brother Martellus. Michael was accused of shoving his way onto the field after the woman told him to use a different entrance. Bennett faces a penalty of up to 10 years in prison in addition to a $10,000 fine.

Question: is shoving a young healthy woman you know into a bed of guns worse than shoving a paraplegic woman you don’t know into the ground? 

 

If if not then Bennett should be immediately commissioner exempt listed while Eagles have to eat the cap hit.

This is a good point.    And in Hardy's case, it was a lady that had a ton of issues and I think arrests before herself, and still, he got crushed. 

Though he did it RIGHT after Ray Rice so bad timing on his part.

Devil's advocate:

No they aren't equal because this situation doesn't have the label of "domestic violence" attached to it. 

He pushed a stranger. A paraplegic older woman stranger, but still a stranger. 

While it doesn't look good, it's not quite the same PR hit that Hardy and Rice were. I don't anticipate anything coming of this but I've been wrong before.

We’ll see. Bennett’s had a lot of bad press and that’s really all that matters here. I doubt much of anything comes of it legally, however the league doesn’t care about that and I would bet on him getting at least a several game suspension.

A month and a half later? For the State, the best they get is a misdemeanor and at worst the case gets dropped. Overzealous prosecutors trying to make political grandstands always overcharge stars. This will get headlines and will likely help the DA win votes for a future move in politics.

The story made it to the front page of NFL.com. I seriously doubt if it will be brushed under the carpet now.

I haven't had much good to say about him or his brother, this won't help much. 

There must be something more to the shove than just a simple push.

      You Done with Morgan Yet?

      Yes. Big surprise that the man that couldn't even operate a pizza joint even with his name value in Charlotte can't run an NFL front office. Can't get over his 2023 and 2024 draft classes. Taking XL, Brooks, Wallace takes a special skill of incompetence. Can't get over his plan at MLB. Was apart of the Fitterer team and their comedy of errors. We need fresh ideas in the building next year not only at GM, but in our scouting department.

      Alabama yes. In general the ‘SEC success guarantees NFL success’ fallacy was really tough to overcome too. You still have to look at the player and extrapolate what their college performance would look like against a team full of NFL vets.    I think 62 SEC players were drafted in 2023. But there were over 1600 players rostered on SEC a teams. You might even  face an SEC defense that had no one drafted. Like Vanderbilt had no one taken in 2025.  So you just can’t blindly hold that hey he was great in the SEC he is a lock. Damn, especially with a weak armed little guy with bad throwing mechanics,

      Can we all admit it now?

      The question was regarding Bryce only play well when the game doesn't matter and us out of reach. Bryce did not have a great 4th quarter but he had a great 1st half.  Started the game 4 of 5 for 45 yards and a passing TD. He made a lot of great plays in the drive where we scored our 2nd TD which was a short run by Chuba.  He also had a great run to pick up a first when the pocket collapsed around him.  Great pocket awareness and plenty fast and athletic enough. The point being he played very well at a time where the game was not out of reach or garbage time. That was my point and those games listed are the evidence that prove that point.
