Make him a slot guy Jeff!!

 

I agree, there is a double standard for star atheletes. Does anyone think Michael Vick would of been readmitted to the NFL if he wasnt a star? Or how about Whats his face on the Ravens? If you are a star then you get a pass.

 

According to the standard Miami is setting we wont touch Rainy. After all we gave away Marshall because of his problems.

 

While I believe slapping a girl is bad, no "only" about it, they do have a point on that last one.

 

Wasn't he suspended at Florida for something like this or was that another Florida RB?

 

The joke about Rhianna being interested is great!

 

In their defense, they did try to trade Roethlisberger.

Unsure but there were character concerns with him coming out.

 

Shoulda opted for r-word instead

 

Yeah hes the one that was texting his ex he was going to kill her...

edit: LINK

 

No.

 

but this guy can get his 2nd dui, run from the cops, cause damage.....and he's still on the team

He was cut. Went through waivers and no one picked him up. As a result, was added to the PS.

 

Apparently he had two prior run-ins with the law this season.

And it sounds like he's got a serious gambling problem. Signed himself up for the state's 'banned gamblers' list, and later tried to get into a casino and was arrested.

Sounds like Mr Rainey needs a come to Jesus meeting, that dude is spinning out of control

 

Take it for what it is worth....

He was not cut due to this incident however, he was suspened 2 games, then cut for roster purposes. he is currently on active roster.

 

He was cut four days later.

 

What's Jesus going to do for him?

Got rid of Santonio Holmes.

 

Regardless, hes back on the same team. A team that just cut Rainey for "allegedly" slapping his girlfriend. No trial. No proof. Just accusations. It looks bad.

 

It was his first run-in under the Steelers' supervision. Rainey had three (?) -- it doesn't look bad by them cutting him.

Edited for clarity.

 

The DT I was referring too was a repeat offender also. What he did is far more dangerous. Ran from police, crashed vehicle, was driving absolutley smashed drunk. I don't understand what you're defending?

 

Dangerous or not, what Ta'amu did was the first issue that he had under the Steelers. He was cut and later brought back. I don't have an issue with it.

Conversely, Rainey had multiple issues during his stint in Pittsburgh and has since been relieved of a roster spot. I don't have an issue with it.

 

IE: take a long hard look at how he is living his life.
