Report: D'Qwell Jackson arrested

[gnet550]

Thought there was no chance we'd cut him to save money before....door just cracked...

[crazycolt1]

i keep saying the one thing I don't like about Pagano is that his guys are a little too undisciplined. The days that Colts fans could play the holier than thou because our team is such class is over. That started and ended with Dungy. With that said they are no different than most teams in the league where guys will do something stupid now and then and have a bad apple or two.

Horse feathers.

[peytonmanning18]

Did D Jax have issues before coming to the Colts?

Doesn't matter. It's an organizational issue now, and it starts at the top with an owner that doesn't think the law applies to him.

[MTC]

In general how did D'Qwell Jackson play last season?

Good

Good enough

Average

Below Average

Bad

??

Replaceable.

Actually, yes it does matter.

[Nadine]

Good grief, who assaults anyone over a parking space?

[grmasterb]

What is the difference?

Citations are issued for civil offenses, such as speeding, not crimes.

[Stephen]

Guess he had a patriots liscenes plate

[SilentHill]

I heard the same thing. Apparently Jackson went to tackle him, but luckily for the pizza guy, he was wearing a Patriots jersey under his jacket and D'Qwell completely missed him.

 

Post of the year nominee.

[grmasterb]

... with an owner that doesn't think the law applies to him.

Worst comment of thread.

[Cynjin]

So a question I have was this in a residential area and was the Pizza guy parking in Jackson's parking space? It does not excuse Jackson's actions in the least, I am just curious.

[trueblueblood]

I'm sure the driver instigated a lot more than is being lead on. Dqwell seems like a really nice guy. I'm sure he would have had to be very angry to do something like that.

11 of the 12 slices of pizza were cold.

 

the 12th was really, really cold.

 

see what the weather can do!!?!?!?

Just to refresh...    Do you know how many posters here complained when Rodgers was cut?    People complained we were too strict and too hard.     And why is this now a Pagano thing?    Most of the complaints when it comes to this are with Grigson.   He's the one who checks their character,  he's the one who decides to bring them in.

 

After every game,  the locker-room video has Pagano talking to the players about staying out of trouble and doing the right thing.  The guy beats the drum all the time.

 

I have no idea why this is a Pagano issue for you?

[indyagent17]

What is with all the arrests? 

 

its becoming a sickening trend with this team. It started with Irsay and trickles down from there.

 

it seems like pro sports athletes are losing touch with reality thinking they can get away with anything

 

Very sad

[NewColtsFan]

Doesn't matter. It's an organizational issue now, and it starts at the top with an owner that doesn't think the law applies to him.

 

And what specifically makes you think Irsay believes the law doesn't apply to him.

 

Tell us.     Tell us all.......

[NewColtsFan]

Sorry,  but unless there's much more to this,   this is just not that big a deal.

 

It's a misdemeanor.    He'll get no jail time.    DQ has a long clean record.

[corgi]

Good grief, who assaults anyone over a parking space?

Lots of people on Black Friday.

[Dustin]

Lots of people on Black Friday.

 

I was once at a store where a knife got pulled on somebody over an electric can-opener. Luckily I was gone before the cops came and they never found me!

[sfergson727]

It speaks to a general lack of discipline in the organization that these kinds of things keep happening. It speaks to the type of player that Grigson brings in.

I don't remember this kind of thing happening when Dungy/Polian were running the show...Disappointing to say the least.

 

On the bright side, team portraits will be a lot less expensive, all you need to do it go to the police sites and download the mugshots.

[Coffeedrinker]

What is the difference?

The difference is going to jail (being arrested) and getting a ticket (citation) and going home.

[lollygagger8]

What'd the 5 fingers, say to the face??

players getting in trouble on and off the field is a sign of a lack discipline and that starts with the head coach. Saying stay out of trouble is not really a sign of a coach putting discipline in. It's like when a parent says now make sure you stay out of trouble at school today. If that's all you do it doesn't mean much.

With that said we don't know if that's all the colts do but seeing as this is the third Colts player to get arrested in a month plus they suspended a fourth and had another miss the flight to the AFC title game what the Colts doing is not working. Add in the fact they went from leading the league is terms of being penalized on the field to being one of the more flagged teams on the field then yes I think the team has a lack of discipline. Those are the areas that shows up in and that falls on the head coach.

With that said am I calling for Pagano to be fired over it? No. I am just saying its the one area I find honest fault with him.

[GoColts8818]

Doesn't matter. It's an organizational issue now, and it starts at the top with an owner that doesn't think the law applies to him.

yeah I don't buy the idea Irsay doesn't think the law applies to him. Yes he ran a foul of the law but that doesn't mean he thinks it doesn't apply to him but I am not really shocked you would try to take it to that extreme.

[JColts72]

Adrian Peterson and Ray Rice would fit right in as teammates; getting out of hand with series of off-field players issues. I cannot recall this happening so much and I've been following this team since the early 70's. I mean there have ben players who had contract issues Lydall Mitchell, Dickerson, but the new generation jerks I mean jocks, think they can do anything.

Dominic Rhodes was busted for DUI after SB41, and Dexter Reid was busted for drugs that offseason, too. Granted, neither player was on the team in 2007. Darrell Reid was charged with hitting a guy with his car at a club in Castleton, if memory serves. Remember Big Ed Johnson and his pot issues?

[JColts72]

Good grief, who assaults anyone over a parking space?

Happens in NY City plenty of times.

[peytonmanning18]

If the owner doesn't think he has to follow the law, why would anyone else in the organization?

Again, from where do you come up with this? Irsay was charged. He lawyered up and copped a plea the same way anyone else with any sense would. Irsay has been punished under the law and by the NFL. He did not fight these punishments. He accepted responsibility for his actions. The only difference is that Irsay can afford better lawyers.

[Dustin]

Sorry,  but unless there's much more to this,   this is just not that big a deal.

Misdemeanor assault is punishable by up to 180 days in jail. 

[GoColts8818]

yeah what you are saying is not a fact and I would dare say is flat out not true. Running a foul of the law doesn't mean one think he doesn't have to follow the law. Again you are trying to take something to extreme point of view and present that extreme point of view as fact to pretty much tick people off. They have a term for that on forums it's called trolling.

[grmasterb]

Misdemeanor assault is punishable by up to 180 days in jail.

ABC7 in D.C. reporting he was issued a citation. If it is a simple citation, like that issued for a civil offense such as speeding, this matter may be over. Hopefully local news sources will clear this up for us fans.

[OhioColtsGirl]

Assaulting someone over a parking spot? Goodness. You know it's officially the offseason when the arrests start..

[#12]

Can't wait for the day when we acquire a few defenders man enough to hit something other than the pizza boy. 

[braveheartcolt]

Beautifully scribed sir. Very well done. Classic.

 

How cool would it be if we could have an Annual Forum Awards Ceremony, with perhaps 3/4 four categories? Funniest Post, Best Put Down (as long it was a friendly one), Best Colts Football related Post, and best General Football related Post.

 

Either add a nomination button (with a maximum set for each poster), or just set a benchmark for the number of likes required to qualify for a nomination, then use voting buttons to find the winners for each category! Come on Mods.....!

 

Or rather than an run it as an annual competition, perhaps just run it as an 'off-season' competition, from February to August, (inclusive) while there is less real football to discuss? Well, apart from Vance and Quizboy, they could enter from January to August, inclusive....

I agree. That would be an awesome off-season type thing.

* fighting w a pizza delivery guy over a parking spot!!!

[Defjamz26]

I hope the people complaining about lack of discipline aren't the same ones who complain about how when guys mess up, we're so quick to release them. Now you see why, and it still doesn't work.

[Jason_]

It speaks to a general lack of discipline in the organization that these kinds of things keep happening. It speaks to the type of player that Grigson brings in.

 

It possibly speaks towards the type of players that Grigson brings in, if said player has a history of such offenses.  I don't recall any such history with Jackson but I could be wrong.  If there was no history of run-ins with the law then how is Grigson supposed to know that a player may wind up getting in trouble with the law?  And it has nothing to do with the discipline of the organization.  Play on the field speaks to organizational discipline, but when a player has a run-in with the law...that's on the player, not the colts organization.
