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.

      Rookie Mini Camp

      I noticed Canales commented on King having a live arm. Weinke coached him and said he could make any throw an NFL team would ask him to make.  His mechanics and general process of throwing looks a little wonky to me though. Haven’t really zoomed in on that though to say more.     Brazzell, his hands look at least decent to me and of course his speed is there.   Love his balance.  Like a cat, always comes down on his feet. Not his butt.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By strato · Posted

      If Veabel is the father the name, unfortunately…. well you are looking at Mike Jr.    I feel bad for the husband And the kid though. Especially the kid who had no hand in anything and is just a victim.   Most people would develop some pretty big issues around the chaos of finding out nothing you were told about your father was true and you have been calling the wrong guy Dad.  And trusting your mother, well that is over too.     She should be permanently burned as a reporter or rumor reporter. Whatever she I was.    Who can trust anything she says?   Vrabel has outed himself as a total phony. No credibility whatsoever.

      Jaycee Horn Contract Restructured

      By strato · Posted

      My worry is about his concussion. Concussions.  Last thing we need is for him to  be like Jewel. I am looking forward to him benefiting from better players around him in the defense.  Defending QBs under a little more pressure than the last few years.  Better coverage defense in front of him in the middle.
