huskerguy Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 For a new charge of driving under a suspended license on October 21st (The day after the A&M game). He was eligible to get his license reinstated in August, but just never did it. I know it's not a huge deal, but man all these little stupid things he's doing have to be hurting his future that may or may not exist in the NFL. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The NFL has a wonderful way of forgiving players with talent. Not that Mo is anything like Randy Moss et al, but I'm just saying. Besides, with all the off-the-field stuff that Purify has had to put up with this year, with all the pressure put on him by everyone's expectations, he still had a pretty good year. The scouts notice stuff like that. Besides, one good combine and a lot of that stuff will be forgotten. He's nowhere near the headcases in years past we've seen who have what they politely call "character issues." Mo is a good guy. I'm not at all worried about him from a legal standpoint.

Like Ricky Williams... Or how about the Cincinnati Bengals. I think their whole team was arrested at some point. Quote Link to comment

He's nowhere near the character of Ricky Williams. Maybe that was a joke, but it wasn't the best joke. Quote Link to comment
Wild Bill Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Or how about the Cincinnati Bengals. I think their whole team was arrested at some point. If you've never been arrested, you haven't experienced much of life! When you go to write your autobiography, that chapter entitled "Time I Spent In Jail" is going to be pretty damn empty!

I know it's not a huge deal, but man all these little stupid things he's doing have to be hurting his future that may or may not exist in the NFL. Think maybe he was a bit distracted with his brothers death and then his girlfriends? Maybe driving legally was the least of his worries, not to mention trying to figure out why he didnt see much playing time in 2007 after he won the A&M game in 2006 and the other spectacular plays he made. I will say this about Mo, he is an awesome kid for having played through the crap hand dealt to him... how many others have quit the team for MUCH less? Remember Harrison Beck? He quit because he didnt want to compete against Keller. Maybe the State Patrol, or whoever is harasssing Mo, should find some REAL criminals to bust... arrested for driving under suspension, thats f'ing ridiculous! Quote Link to comment

Despite all the crap Ricky Williams has done, he's still playing. Quote Link to comment
xkbubo Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 obviously the guy who arrested Mo is not a fan. Quote Link to comment
DCHusker Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I think there's definitely a huge difference between guys who are genuinely bad people, such as Lawrence Philips, Randy Moss (at least while he was beating his girlfriend at Marshall), and Pacman.... and guys like Mo who just have a knack for getting into trouble...I dont mean to downplay driving drunk, but I think its more a matter of irresponsibility than doing something intentionall malicious.....its a shame we put them all in the same category as guys with "character issues" Quote Link to comment
jjamuss Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 obviously the pig who arrested Mo is not a fan. Oh, he probably is a fan... but a rule crazy cop that is trying to make a name for himself. Heres a good name for the cop: Pig Phucker, compliments of Hunter Thompson. Quote Link to comment
