OT - Nick Fairley arrested again
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7977231/nick-fairley-detroit-lions-arrested-dui-charge-report-says
I said it when we drafted him, and I'll say it again. This dude is a bum. He even tried to elude the police.
Along with his marijuana charge earlier, this guy is a total head case and has no respect for the opportunity the Lions franchise gave him. Seems like he could be a real waste of talent.
Son of a nutcracker, hire a damn driver.
Cut this dude.
never fails to make me laugh
I've been a life-long Lions' fan, but these guys are really testing my patience. Fairley obviously didn't learn anything from his previous arrest last month. I figure he'll probably get some sort of suspension for this, but I hope the Lions go above and beyond and suspend him for the entire season and force his dumb ass to rehab and counseling. He is in desperate need of a wake-up call, and I think it's time that the Lions stopped catering to the few bad apples who could ruin the season for the rest of the team. Time for some tough love.
Time to cut him. His body will give out and it seems like his mind is already gone
Some of these kids are such idiots. They realistically only have one job opportunity (and an insanely lucrative one at that) yet they still can't keep themselves out of trouble. Good grief.
thought riding around with open containers was pretty standard. At least it was when I lived in Pensacola, Southern AL
I used to live in southern alabama, and yes, I would literally see people driving down the road and sipping from an open beer bottle. It was not that uncommon
"road pops" between the bucket seats of his truck. When the cooler was empty, he would go through the drive-thru liquor store -- no sense wasting valuable time and energy actually getting out of his truck to purchase beer.
/ cool Alabama story bro
EDIT: Of course, he comes from the shallow end of the family gene pool. Every family has one.
and i'll say it again, in college he was a one hit wonder, I'd honestly never heard his name before his last year. He's a loser, there were better D tackles out there. kick this lazy mofo to the curb
a falling knife with this guy.
Fuck it bro!!!
Yes, "fuck it!" That's your answer for everything!
THE BUMS WILL ALWAYS LOSE! DO YOU HEAR ME MR. LEBOWSKI?
Wow what a way to waste such a opportunity! His mom must be so proud. Time to cut ties and let him destroy his career and not the franchise.
Cut him and then send a letter to every other GM in the league explaining that he's an immature, self-entitled waste of talent with no respect for anything or anyone. That would send a message.
Someone would overpay to have him on their team.
Snyder.
Dear Nick,
GROW THE FUCK UP!!!
Sincerely,
Dom
No proof of insurance too... how stupid can you possibly be? He's making millions and he won't buy insurance? Cut this oxygen thief.
-Herm
No proof doesn't mean he doesn't have insurance. I've had expired insurance cards before, it's pretty common. If he truly doesn't have insurance then he's a bigger moron than I can imagine.
Why cut him? Suspend him, let him play a little and then trade him for a draft choice.
Fairley is just proving all of us right who thought the Lions made another poor draft decision in taking a high-risk player with a penchant for doing stupid things.
This is so *Lions* it almost hurts. Keep the Fords involved and there will always be potential for nonsense (going back at least to Reggie Rogers). Is it a curse? I haven't a clue, but it sure is darkly interesting.
This. All of these problems are symptoms, and the Fords are the disease. The Lions will always be a dysfunctional laughing stock as long as the Fords are in charge.
Oh, wait, it does.
I could see if the Lions come out this fall and fall flat on their face. I would agree with you then. But this? The entire LEAGUE has issues with guys doing stupid shit.
Well, the Lions still only have one playoff win in my lifetime, so it seems like their players doing stupid shit hurts them more.
It was a great game too...man I loved beating Dallas...but that is all I got.
A string of bad draft picks? One playoff win in the past 50+ years? Being the only non-expansion team to have never played in the Super Bowl? I don't think any other franchise has all three of those dubious traits. And through it all, the Fords are the only constant.
This is why Michigan has traditionally stayed away from JUCO transfers.
I hated that Fairley pick as soon as it happened. I love the Lions, but they deserve any grief he causes them.
What a thug! What does it take for these losers to get it together?!
Time to pony up for Avril....
Driving around with an open container has never been "accepted" here, come on. We are only one of a few beaches that allow open containers on the beach and the boardwalk. But seriously dude, open conatiners have never been allowed while driving.
Alabama had permissive open container laws prior to 2000. In many states, people used to be able to have a beer while driving, but still could not be legally under the influence. The federal government effectively shut that practice down by making a ban a condition for receiving highway money.
Fairley is too young to know any different (or should be at least), but older folks in those states do remember and habits can be hard to break for the especially special.
In Texas back in the 90's they had single beers on ice at gas stations and party stores so a driver could have a cold one on his trip. I couldn't believe it.
A bunch of dicks wrecked it for those of us that can control or drinking. America is passing so many laws we will blow away Russia soon. Bye freedom!
keep on trollin
back in Ann Arbor in the 90's they had a drive through liquer store.
...in the early 1980s and back then it was perfectly legal to drink and drive. You couldn't be over the legal limit, but open containers were not a problem.
I was asking when we drafted him why
He was responsible for a Gholstonesque late hit in their game with Georgia and I knew that he wasn't a good pick.
People were blowing him when drafted on this blog. Now everyone said they claimed her was a bum. I have to call bullshit!
Lots of people were disappointed in this pick. Fairley's stock dropped a lot at the combine and some analysts became very critical.
The mugshot per Fox10 News...
Well, if nothing else, he seems pleased with himself. I really would rather not have someone whose arrests I can set my watch by on this or any other team. The discipline has to start somewhere, and if it means doing something dramatic like cutting this dude then I am OK with that. I love the Lions, but it seems they've overlooked character in the pursuit of building the franchise, and in the long-term, it seems like the off-field problems could eclipse the success unless they start sending a different message now.
He's pleased with himself, because he is a complete moron.. look at him when he talks, or when he talks.. he is a fucking idiot.. period.. Sorry, some of these kids have no clue how to handle money or talent. They are a joke and a bust.. he being one of them, end of story...
He will be bankrupt and on the streets in 2 years tops
He's a happy guy!
Smh....
