DUI, eluding police, amongst other charges

The biggest issue with the new rookie wage scale is that kids like Fairley have to decide whether to blow money on weed or cab fares. Tough spot to put to put a kid in. Especially a dum one.
might wanna rethink that stance on drafting questionable characters detroit?
don't get much production from suspended and/or jailed players.

Just fantastic. Love it!

"The Lions’ five-member 2011 draft class has now totaled five arrests this year, with Fairley and running back Mikel Leshoure arrested twice each and offensive tackle Johnny Culbreath arrested once. All of the other arrests were for marijuana possession."
Nice!!
Nice!!
The lions are having disciplinary problems ?? Where does it stem ?
Dirty is as dirty does !!

If only there would have been warning signs when Fairley was at Auburn, maybe the Lions could have avoided drafting him.
We want the Lions to keep drafting these types of players.
Good job!!

I would think he could afford a car that does better then just a 100mph.

Stolen from a poster on PFT, viking north as I recall, but funny nonetheless.
Mayhew doesn't see two arrests as a trend.
I fully understand Fairley is an adult but it's still so fitting to see Schwartz with continued control over his team. 
I really don't think it will matter how "talented" the Lions get. As long as that ass clown is in charge, NFC North teams should be

quote:Some more details are emerging about the DUI arrest of Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley, including the fact that the state trooper who made the arrest says he was driving down Interstate 10 early this morning when Fairley flew past him going 100 miles an hour.
According to the Associated Press, Alabama state troopers say Fairley was driving 100 in his Cadillac Escalade in unincorporated Mobile County, Alabama, and he initially refused to stop for the trooper’s emergency lights and siren before eventually pulling over.

This. "Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it".
An Escalade isn't a Corvair by any means, but they aren't a safe high-speed vehicle in any case. Especially if modified from OEM, as I would imagine it to be. No matter the circumstances, it's lunacy to be driving 4K+ pounds at anything approaching tripple-digit speeds.
Unfortunately, I don't think any real 'punishment' will result; more than likely big fines, loss of license for whatever period, and probation. Goodell may think otherwise...

Stupidity is common for the Lions. A disaster in the making. Pop some popcorn and enjoy the show!

Especially when you are totally trashed
Duh S$C indeed
I know and am friends with a Lions fan at work. He is really a nice guy - and for all his insterest in the Lions he deserves better. But it is out of his control. I can't help but feel a little sorry for him at times like this.

The comment about Hogue -
quote:That’s five legal run-ins in five months, and we haven’t even mentioned the in-house incident two weeks ago - it’s not really a fight when one player sucker-punches another, is it? – that has led to Titus Young’s indefinite absence from Organized Team Activities.
Of the Lions’ five-member 2011 draft class, only Doug Hogue has successfully avoided drama this off-season, which begs the question, what exactly did the Lions see in him?
The comment about Hogue -
He should expect a lengthy suspension. Goodell is pissed right now and a lengthy suspension for idiocy is well within his jurisdiction (Personal Conduct Policy).
quote:
STANDARD OF CONDUCT
While criminal activity is clearly outside the scope of permissible conduct, and persons who engage in criminal activity will be subject to discipline, the standard of conduct for persons employed in the NFL is considerably higher. It is not enough simply to avoid being found guilty of a crime. Instead, as an employee of the NFL or a member club, you are held to a higher standard and expected to conduct yourself in a way that is responsible, promotes the values upon which the League is based, and is lawful. Persons who fail to live up to this standard of conduct are guilty of conduct detrimental and subject to discipline, even where the conduct itself does not result in conviction of a crime.
He needs to have the hammer come down on him....Fairley hard too.

No, no, no, he was unFairley targeted by "the man".
Fairley is a scumbag, has been since he was at Auburn. Brutal cheap shots were commonplace for him.
don't know much about Fairley but it seems rather obvious that he's not taking his shot at the NFL very seriously... yet. maybe he can come around, then again maybe his sense of entitlement will bring him to his knees.
Mayhew's done a reasonably good job (following Millen didn't hurt), but the luster is beginning to wear off.
still doesn't seem to get it... what's that line about "fat and stupid"?

quote:Fairley was arrested twice this offseason and got off to a painfully slow start at training camp.
“He struggled early when we started camp, and he’s starting to get into shape,” Lions defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. “… Nick lacks some of that maturity, and he had to work overtime.”
Lions camp has been going on for almost a month. So it’s probably an ominous sign that Fairley is just now rounding into shape. He has three tackles through two preseason games.
“He’s got all the tools to be a very good player,” Cunningham acknowledged. “The biggest problem for him, he’s going to have to grow up fast and be consistent. … Because if the offensive line smells blood, they’re going to get him.”
Fairley conceded that he’s “not where I want to be,” and he’s yet to seriously push starter Corey Williams for playing time next to Ndamukong Suh. When they drafted Fairley, the Lions probably thought they’d have a starter by now.
he's going to BJ Raji his way right out of Detroit
If you're a college kid with maturity issues, is there a worse place to end up than under the watch and care of Jim Schwartz?
