SmittyBacall Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 @MWil23 Fair enough, though I don't think it's fair to hold one mistake a borderline minor made 9 years ago against him permanently. Some people learn and change from their mistakes, some don't. I think given his track record since then Joe has earned his redemption. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone who ever raises his hand on a woman deserves the benefit of the doubt, especially when lacking remorse: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/oklahomas-joe-mixon-shows-no-shred-of-remorse-for-punching-a-woman/ Quote Are you sorry about what happened? Mixon: “I won’t answer that.” Do you have any regrets at all about anything? Mixon: "No." He then settled the case out of court. He then had an altercation with a parking attendant 2 years later, which he was suspended for, which is minor, but in my opinion goes to show his attitude towards anyone he deems to be beneath him. There's not an ounce of redemption that I wish for him on the football field. Plus, I think he sucks as a RB and is extremely overrated. He's a career 4.1 YPC runner who found a way to vulture a few touchdowns last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line is he hasn't had one incident in the NFL and has been a consummate professional and team leader since being drafted. I could list and link the numerous charities Mixon has been involved in over his career, but it wouldn't matter. If you think this strongly about Mixon, I would think you would've boycotted the Browns by now after signing Watson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same holds true for Tyreke Hill. 3 minutes ago, SmittyBacall said: If you think this strongly about Mixon, I would think you would've boycotted the Browns by now after signing Watson. I’ve made my feelings clear about him for a long time now. My Browns fandom is down about 90% since they acquired him. I have boycotted all Browns merchandise and will essentially waste my time watching them, for free, on the television. Nothing more. It’s extremely disappointing and yet very predictable given their owner. I have always been a bigger college fan than the NFL anyway, so my life won’t change much when a bunch of millionaires and billionaires win or lose games.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I'm watching this game solely to watch what it looks like when your offense can actually score points. I forgot what that feels like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Mixon as a player better than you do, he isn't at the top but I think he is a very good RB. It takes a certain kind of man to throw a haymaker at a woman. He would have been wrong to slap her or push her down imo but full force punch to the face is another level. Certain things in life aren't granted second chances with me and that's one of them. Ray Rice also. It's always going to be the first thing I think about when I hear their name. It's a disgusting act that you can't come back from. From me anyway, the NFL lets you sexually assault dozens of women without remorse and welcomes you back. That doesn't mean you can ever make right of what you did. You can just make someone money and that's good enough for the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only year two of a week 17 MNF game so it does make some sense. I'm sure it will be beat at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
