If he gets a chance with an NFL team, then Ray Rice should have had a chance.
One year seems about right. Not that I condone it - I'd kick him out of OU - but CFB coaches aren't known for their integrity.Just saw on ESPN on my TV.
How in the holy heck did he get a one year suspension from the team and a misdemeanor? This is going to be Ray Rice v2.0.
It was his "redshirt freshman" year so really not a suspension.Just saw on ESPN on my TV.

Especially Stoops. Look up DeDe Westbrook's domestic violence history. They took in DGB after he was kicked out of Mizzou of all places...not exactly known for their high standards. There are other examples. Stoops has very little integrity IMO.One year seems about right. Not that I condone it - I'd kick him out of OU - but CFB coaches aren't known for their integrity.
I was wondering who would be the first one here to defend him. I was sure it would be shtick but still. This is even better, he was actually serious.Get off your high horses. When he is putting up 150/2 on your fantasy team you guys will be all over his jock. People make mistakes. He was punished. This is old news.

I'm not defending him. Obviously he was in the wrong. It's just hilarious because there could be 100 threads about "thugs" like Mixon and you guys will still start him every week when he's a top RB and on your roster. By all means, avoid him in your fantasy drafts because of your "morals" and he's such a bad person.
My point isn't whether Rice could still play, but rather that he got another opportunity to play.Rice was a 30 year old who already looked washed up. The upside wasn't there to justify taking on the PR nightmare.
But the opportunity he got or didn't get was affected by the likelihood he'd contribute enough to offset the negative. Rice didn't look like that likelihood was there. He was coming off a terrible year in which he looked slow and average at best. He was never a freak athlete type guy, so regardless of age (he was actually only 27 at the time) he was already looking replaceable. Had that been 2014 Jamaal Charles I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be the last football he played.My point isn't whether Rice could still play, but rather that he got another opportunity to play.
Rice is a FA. He could have signed at any time. If he was younger and better, he may have. It's not like he's indefinitely suspended. He had the opportunity to play, and teams decided it wasn't worth the headache for the production they'd get.My point isn't whether Rice could still play, but rather that he got another opportunity to play.
I will, and he is. As will many NFL teams.By all means, avoid him in your fantasy drafts because of your "morals" and he's such a bad person.
1) Not a mistake. A mistake is leaving my wallet at home, not cold cocking a woman half my weight.Get off your high horses. When he is putting up 150/2 on your fantasy team you guys will be all over his jock. People make mistakes. He was punished. This is old news.
or if Mixon gets a shot naybe the nfl would give Tyreek Hill a shot too....oh wait,If he gets a chance with an NFL team, then Ray Rice should have had a chance.
Look man I get it.The fact that the biggest (only?) Mixon defender in this thread is an OU fan is a really bad look.
Heres the full video. Aftermath wasnt prettyJust saw the video after reading the comments in here. Pretty disturbing IMO.
Why is she a pile of crap? I see a drunk girl who got out of control. We don't know what Mixon said to set her off. In any event as culpable as she was she didn't deserve to have her face shattered.Both he and her are piles of crap. unfortunately both piles of crap will be rich someday. oh don't we love how our country works
Don't kid yourself, if Rice had been 25 and coming off a 1500 yard season there would have been a list of teams as long as your arm waiting to sign him when his suspension was up. He'll get a chance because the only time the NFL black balls a player over something like this is when the guy can't produce anymore.If he gets a chance with an NFL team, then Ray Rice should have had a chance.
The ONLY reason he didn't get another opportunity to play was that he was washed up.My point isn't whether Rice could still play, but rather that he got another opportunity to play.
if you think she's 100% innocent in all of this you're nuts. not saying she deserved it. never. I'm just saying it takes two to tango.Why is she a pile of crap?

Her level of innocence doesn't chance anything about what Mixon did.if you think she's 100% innocent in all of this you're nuts. not saying she deserved it. never. I'm just saying it takes two to tango.
Umm, no, why would it?He was saying she spit in his face before slapping him. Didnt appear that way in the video. If it can be corroborated that happened, would anyones viewpoint change? Just curious.
I never said it did. I said they were both losers.Her level of innocence doesn't chance anything about what Mixon did.
If she was going after him swinging wildly, maybe even with some sort of "weapon" then he might have actually been justified.
That...........was not the case.
I just believe the NFL, and it's players, need to start being held to a higher standard.Local rumor is there were racial slurs from Molitor directed towards Mixon & his fellow players. To be fair, rumor has it the players hurled gay slurs at her friend. No doubt both regret their actions that day.
Full disclosure, I'm an OU fan, but I'd like to think I can look at this impartially...
He was in no physical danger unless he turned his back & she hit him over the head with something. The right thing to do was to keep her at bay, back out of the restaurant, & go on his way. The other players were smart enough to have left after the initial altercation, which took place outside. Mixon stayed, but you can see Molitor motioning for him to come to her table. Not sure what was said after Mixon came to the table, but she was the aggressor.
Not condoning what Mixon did. There's no excuse. If it was my son, I'd be pissed. He didn't have to use that much force (or much force at all), but when you push somebody & get in their face, things like this can happen on pure emotion. She definitely has some culpability. I doubt this would've happened if Molitor had been sober. She actually seems like a nice kid & stayed at OU despite being advised to transfer. I respect that.
This is much different than the Ray Rice incident. I don't believe Mixon will be blackballed from the NFL (nor should he be, IMO). How much it hurts his draft stock remains to be seen. It depends on the team. Some could have him off their board & some may not dock him anything given his age at the time & the circumstances involved.
I counted at least four excuses in your post but maybe I missed some.Not condoning what Mixon did. There's no excuse.
not excuses. she's a racist loser and he proved to be a bigger loser. both will be counting their millions some day.I counted at least four excuses in your post but maybe I missed some.
