OT Geno Smith Update (Fight over $600 owed to Enemkpali)
Per Adam Schefter
"Story behind the punch that broke Geno Smith's jaw in two places:
At the heart of the dispute between former Jets LB IK Enemkpali and quarterback Geno Smith is $600 that Enemkpali believed Smith owed him, per league sources. Enemkpali purchased a plane ticket for Smith to attend his July 11 football camp at Pfugerville High School in Pfugerville, Texas. However, days before the camp, a person close to Smith was killed in a motorcycle accident in Miami and Smith did not attend Enemkpali’s camp, per sources. After Smith did not attend, Enemkpali demanded that the Jets’ quarterback refund him the $600 he allegedly used to purchase a plane ticket. Smith told Enemkpali he would reimburse him the money, but he did not. Enkempali confronted Smith today about the money and the confrontation ended in a punch and broken jaw."

I think he meant third world countries don't have money to begin with, much less fight over.

You're not following the conversation correctly.
August 11th, 2015 at 7:23 PM ^
I also don't get it...but really, it's more like FIST world problems.

Smith didn't deserve to be punched, but I side with IK in that he owed him the money. Plus, you have a salary and are the starting QB for the NY Jets...you have to be able to afford that
August 11th, 2015 at 8:48 PM ^
$600 is basically chump change for them both. Geno should just pay it, sure, but there's no valid reason for IK to go apeshit over it. And there's no way I'm siding with the guy who punched his teammate in the face for not giving him the money for a ticket that he never used because his friend died.
August 12th, 2015 at 8:22 AM ^
I'm guessing IK CAN'T afford it now... just sayin'.
August 11th, 2015 at 8:59 PM ^
Plus who knows how smith was about paying him back.

Originally, Mr. Enkempali was down $600. Yes, it sucks that a starting NFL QB wasn't able to repay that money over the course of the past month.
But now, even if Smith does pay him, he's going to be down his $510,000 yearly salary.
Only different by a factor of 850!

What a dumbass.

He wanted to "keep it real".
August 11th, 2015 at 7:33 PM ^
Although in this case you can come pretty close.

Smith's "lack of leadership" got him smacked.
August 11th, 2015 at 7:05 PM ^
How much money could a summer camp for kids possibly make for "charity" when they're shelling out 600 bucks to fly middling NFL quarterbacks in to attend?

I get that, and I'm not knocking that premise at all. But it's kind of wild to me that the protocol would be to fly these guys in. You would think some dude making millions could offer his time and to pay his own way as well?

Losing his job is going to cost him a lot more than $600.
Smart move, buddy.
