John Boyett Arrested

[GoColts8818]

Just got it on my Indy Star app, he's in a Marion county jail for charges relating to altercation with police at a downtown bar.

[braveheartcolt]

Release him.

[krunk]

No do not release him!

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

We shoulda drafted Rambo ;)   as i so desperately hoped.... 

[BlueShoe]

He is giving a new meaning to Reserve/Non-Football Injury.

I think we were going to, but he went one pick before us. I have no source or anything. Just a hunch.

[Dustin]

How come our safeties can't outrun cops?

[shakedownstreet]

you can't arrest me i'm a colts player! 

[Gramz]

How come our safeties can't outrun cops?

 this made me   

 

now to be serious,  another sad situation...    Why does this keep happening      You'd think they'd know better by now.

[TKnight24]

I say release him & Lefeged.

2 spots for our new LB & new WR we just got

No crime allowed when wearing and/or representing the horseshoe

If anyone remembers the chat i was REAALLy pushing for him to be picked by us .  :rulez:

[ar1888]

"You cant arrest me im a Colts player". that line also worked out well for Kenton Keith.

[PrincetonTiger]

wow

[Blackhawk4]

I say we give him a medal and call it a day. If you say "You can't arrest me, I'm a Colts player" you must really think that carries a lot of weight  when it comes to the law 

[Coltman51]

What a *.   Can't play for first six games dues to injured reserve,   ;anyone taking bets he is gone long before the six weeks are done?

[UKColt13]

How come our safeties can't outrun cops?

He has bad knees....

[haseo15]

Cut him, not going to be productive most likely this year anyway. He's coming off like a real * on this one.

Thanks for the link. Real winner this guy. I thought he was being sold as a real character guy.

 

Edited: I added more. But it was over the top really.

Wait until you see a couple of them. It gets worse. 

[BlueShoe]

Somewhere Bill Polian is smiling. He did have a knack at keeping this stuff to a minimum. Sometimes the risk of taking character problems turn out to be an issue.

To me this is simply a result of our entitlement society and lack of family values. Too often young men growing up without a true father figure or male role model to show them how a "real man" is suppose to act and behave. By the time they get to high school they are getting passes from teachers and coaches for what they can do on the field and it just grows through college where they never have to even go to class or be held to the same standards as everyone else. Then you give them money in the NFL and title of pro football player and the ones without the proper education and support system and no moral compass simply fall into these situations when they are held accountable by a real authority figure. Surprisingly the Colts have had a fairly clean program for a long time but it seems we are having our share of the nfl trend now. I mean we aren't the Cincinnati Bengals and Oakland Raiders of the 2000's but we are certainly resembling the avg football team that is for sure.

[GoDeep]

Sounds feisty. Maybe we should keep him.

[oldunclemark]

you can't arrest me i'm a colts player! 

Not for long, son.  Hands behind your head!!

[oldunclemark]

  He as a Colt in name only. He wasn't going to play

[Gavin]

I'd like to know more about why he got arrested for the altercation first, was he drinkin? why was he drinkin? is he still struggling with his late sisters passing? There is a process you have to go through when this happens. Was he just being a bone head?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, read the article

[krunk]

Jeesh I didn't know Boyett went that far with it until I read the report.  He certainly put himself into a quandry with that incident. I was looking forward to seeing the time when he is able to play.  He's trying to shorten that opportunity with this kind of stuff.

really?, i recall 4 players arrested on alcohol related charges in the same year Pat Mcafee was arrested

 

According to the police report, McAfee was asked whether he was swimming in the canal and answered, "I am not sure." When he was asked why he was wet, McAfee responded, "It was raining." When he was asked where his shirt was, McAfee said, "In the water." And when he was asked how much he had to drink, McAfee said, "A lot 'cause I'm drunk."

Not surprisingly, the Colts found no humor in it. They've now had four players arrested on alcohol-related charges this year.

mcafee was suspended because he missed practice later that morning

Look at Polian's entire tenure and it is easy to see that we had good character players. It was important to Polian in the draft process. Sure we had "some" issues. We will see more issues as we become more aggressive in finding players, because we are taking more chances. 

[MR. Blueblood]

Evidently this may be required for some of our players 

 

[PrincetonTiger]

Was he celebrating since he didn't get cut?

mcafee was arrested a few years ago, not this year

[tony1287]

Would this situation still have occured had he been actually playing this week?? Hope this isn't a sign of things to come

Bill Polian drafted Rae Carruth in the 1st round

[HtownColt]

i know, i was responding to a Bill Polian thing

[Thewholefnshow28]

He should just be cut for going to a crappy place likeTiki Bobs.

[BlueShoe]

Bill Polian drafted Rae Carruth in the 1st round

 

Yes, and it is a strong belief of many (over the years), that is when he started to look hard at players character very closely.
