Foreman arrested

[ColdZealDonkeyStrike]

Agree on the gun. As far as the marijuana, Bell wasn't "associated" with the stuff in the car he was in with Blount and got suspended anyway.

Didn't Bell get a DWI or DUI charge out of it?

No. The details were that the officer smelled marijuana and there was some found in the car. As part of his sentencing, his license was suspended and he had to take DUI class but there was no such charge, just an assumption of guilt. Fwiw, Bell has also never tested positive either. I'm not suggesting that he hasn't used it but league only cares about appearances.

He was definitely charged, just not convicted. And taking a plea deal was an admittance of some guilt, even if it allowed him to avoid conviction. I also thought they did a blood test for pot if you are charged with DUI for it (at least, my idiot friends who have gotten themselves in that situation tell me so), but I don't think we know for sure whether he got that test or not.

Not saying you are wrong that the NFL cares more about the appearance than the actual outcome of the charges, but I would say Bell was associated with the stuff if it got him 15 months of probation and entered into a legal program for first-time offenders.

Edited because I thought I was in the Zeke thread by the end of the post

Bell also received a citation for driving under the influence, something that surprised Bell at the time when he told the police officer, "I didn't know you could get a DUI for being high. I smoked two hours ago. I'm not high anymore. I'm perfectly fine."

From the first article that comes up in google on the subject. Sounds like there was reasonable grounds to believe Bell was smoking from an NFL standpoint.

Hmm... The couple places I looked didn't mention a DUI charge. Either way, I still suspect Foreman to get some kind of suspension as that tends to be the M.O. of the NFL to overreach when it comes to player discipline.

Aren't you more likely to get arrested in Texas for not having a firearm than having one?

Don't know why these cops harassing my boy. Let this young man live his life Nazis. Cops must've been OU alumn.

The arresting officer must be having his rookie draft kick off today...trying to push the value down.

First offense, and we don't have all the details. I can't move him down my board just yet.

Anyone else feel the same?

Moving him up my board even more now. All the best players have off-field issues. This is a plus in my book.

Especially RBs in Texas apparently...

Boomer Sooner. Squeaky clean program in Norman, nothing but high character student athletes down there. Stoops for prez.

Doesn't change much for me. Not a huge fan but where I have landed him I would still take him even after this news.
It isn't great but maybe a learning experience for him.

Foreman is going to disappoint IMO if still taking him over the tight ends or similar ADP backs. To go back to Conner, Steelers have been running Bell into the ground, and are likely letting him go at end of this season. Conner is Bells replacement. Many podcasts are higher on Conner than Foreman so I am not alone on that.

Those have to be redraft podcasts. The only way I can see anyone being higher on Conner than Foreman is as a one-season handcuff. If both Miller and Bell go down this year, a case could be made that Conner has more immediate upside based on situation, but as long-term prospects, Foreman >>>> Conner, even with this recent news. Conner is a JAG. He's a JAG with a wonderful, heartwarming story, and I couldn't be happier for him as a human being, but he's a JAG nonetheless. If the Steelers let Bell walk after this year, expect them to invest heavily in a real replacement, either via free agency or the draft. It's extremely doubtful that Conner is some sort of heir apparent in Pittsburgh.

Nope it was Footballguys and it was talking about dynasty. Conner pre cancer was a stud. He is courageous and a good kid. He is going mid second ADP and was a third round pick just like Foreman so not out of question. I listen to many dynasty podcasts and Conner has moved up rankings. Just as a handcuff alone Conner is worth early second in rookie drafts because we all know Bell will miss a game or two at least. I don't hate Foreman but think talent wise he is a step below Conner. Watch how Conner was getting stronger as season went along.
