What a knuckle head. I really like his intensity on the field. I hope he doesn't follow the lead of so many with good talent and ruin it for himself.
Enough. Use him a trade bait.
Meh, not really a big deal IMO.

Just cut him loose, ban him from nfl for life, take back his signing bonus for breach of contract.
Set a precedent for all pro assletes (not a typo).
What a waste of talent. And don't get me started on the parenting issue. Dad was with him while he was breaking the law this time. Probably making a weed run.

The older I get, the more disinterested I become in pro sports because of the major disconnect the players have with life.

Not a big deal at all.
Heard a story on the news today that there are potentially 300,000 suspended licenses in Colorado where the people were NOT notified.
I the car before I heard the rest or why that was.

Gots no nanny to take care of him.
Who gives a shit about some overpaid wannabe gang banger.
Fire his ass. And move on to what is important.

Uber just signed a deal with the NFL to give players rides whenever they need them so they don't get arrested.
They also have security personnel on the team to make sure this type of shit doesn't happen - why don't they get someone to stay with him 24/7.
Pro sports players shouldn't be "role-models" for anyone. You shouldn't teach your kids to look up to a guy that throws a ball 100 MPH or tackles someone. There are some nice Firefighters down the road from most of us that are happy to have the kid try on a hat or sit in a truck and play with the siren - those are folks to look up to.

WHAT! A pro sports player is in MORE legal trouble? Say it isn't so...[LOL]
Screw those morons anyway. They get millions and this is what they do. Disgusting.
It's a speeding ticket. None of you have ever got a speeding ticket? Hell, I'm sure most reading this will speed at least once today. Let he who is w/o sin cast the first stone. I agree that getting suspended for multiple substance abuse infractions is idiotic but he's still a pretty young guy. My thought was that if he returns contrite & learns from his lesson he'll grow from it. A speeding ticket isn't even newsworthy other than who he is. Assuming nothing else happens & he returns in 5 games a better man for it then I'll forgive & forget. If he has any more lapses in judgement I will be piloting the 'cut him' wagon. For now though I think it's a little premature to start losing the wagon. This guy was the best defensive player behind maybe J.J. Watt in the entire league. He's a rare talent and really a good kid other than some bad judgement involving something that isn't even illegal. Shit, players who beat their wife o me get DUI's get less scrutiny. Let's step back, take a deep breath & see how he handles this.

Regardless of its "legality", it is against his employers policy ... similar to many employers in Colorado/US that prohibit use of the substance.
As I said - who cares, but don't make pro sports players role models.

I get that & I'm not excusing that. He's sitting for 6 games as a result. He's never been in trouble for anything so if this is all he's done in the grand scheme of things, I can live with it. The story was over weeks ago in fact. Now we're talking about a speeding ticket. Really?
It's the blatant lack of responsibility that pisses me off. It's not that he just had a speeding ticket, he had a warrant/suspended license for not showing up to court. Do you just skip your court dates? Then, after all that, he gets popped AGAIN for driving on a suspended license. Now there's reports of a warrant for him in California? C'mon man. He needs to pull his head out of his ass and realize what he has. He's a once in a generation player but that doesn't give him a free pass on everything. DO YOUR JOB...on and off the field.

He'll pay for it. It will cost him millions when it comes down to contract talks. Jared Allen did a bunch of stupid shit early in his career and the Chiefs traded him away to my Minnesota Vikes. He's easily been the most popular player on the team since and a stand up good guy to boot. Don't think this won't cost Miller money....it will. No one will want to sign him to a long term contract after this

How is he a wanna be gang banger?
This is my giveashit face.....
I've never understood the hang up on how much athletes make. I'm not paying them.
Well, if you lived in the Stadium District for the 11 years between Jan 1, 2001 and Dec 31, 2011, you bought them a nice place to make their money. tax dollars should not go to this.
Football Stadium District Sales Tax Expires Dec. 31
Posted: November 22, 2011
Beginning January 1, taxpayers will no longer pay the one-tenth of one percent Football District sales/use tax. The Metropolitan Football Stadium District (FD) tax will end on December 31, 2011 as planned in the law that established the tax.
Taxpayers should not pay this tax after December 31 and businesses should not collect the tax after December 31. The Football District has generally the same geographic boundaries as the Denver area’s Regional Transportation District (RTD). For more information regarding RTD and FD boundaries, please see the DR 1002 (http://www.colorado.gov/cms/forms/dor-tax/dr1002.pdf).
Exceptions
Leases that are still in effect after December 31 may be subject to the Football Stadium District (FD) tax through the life of the contract. Businesses should use the form DR 0200, Colorado Baseball/Football District – Supplement (http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite?c=Document_C&childpagename=Revenue%2FDocument_C%2FREVXAddLink&cid=1185353122181&pagename=REVXWrapper) to report the FD tax collected through leases. The same form should be used to report the Baseball Stadium District (BD) tax still being collected on leases entered into before January 1, 2001 that are still in effect.
The RTD and the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (CD) taxes remain in effect in the Denver area. The RTD tax rate is 1% (one percent) and the CD tax rate is 0.1% (one-tenth of a percent) for a total Denver metropolitan special district tax of 1.1%.
Tax Collected in Error
If a business collects the FD tax in error after Dec. 31, 2011 and does not provide a refund to the customer, the tax should be reported on the form DR 0200 supplement (http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite?c=Document_C&childpagename=Revenue%2FDocument_C%2FREVXAddLink&cid=1185353122181&pagename=REVXWrapper). The customer may file a DR 0137 Claim for Refund (http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite?c=Document_C&childpagename=Revenue%2FDocument_C%2FREVXAddLink&cid=1185353121756&pagename=REVXWrapper).
History
The Metropolitan Football Stadium District tax went into effect January 1, 2001 to help fund construction of Invesco Field at Mile High, now known as Sports Authority at Mile High. The sales tax replaced the Denver Metropolitan Major League Baseball Stadium District (BD) Tax
Paying for a stadium and paying a players salary are not the same thing. Unless you go to the games or buy merch, the average person has nothing to do with a players salary.
I wish tax payers paid for my overhead.
ok, you didnt pay his salary. you payed for his office, you payed for his lunch room, you payed for his gym membership , you payed for all the things that he uses the stadium for. you facilitated his getting a salary. without the stadium, which you provided he couldnt have made his salary.
its like this.
you buy a whore house on east colfax.
you dont actually pay the whores, but if it wasnt for you they couldnt turn their tricks and make money. (then use the money to be criminals like this pos)
Everything is subject to 6 degrees of separation. If the city hadn't worked out a deal for the stadium, he would be getting paid somewhere else. Using your analogy I also paid for every building in my district which was given a tax break to set up shop. I'm not a fan at all of tax payer money going to fund the multi-billion dollar NFL and their stadiums, but I do watch every Sunday. When schools are 20 years old we don't shut them down. That being said, we don't pay their salaries, so I could care less what they make. The stadium is built....that money is spent. When the Broncos sign a free agent our taxes don't up. Whenever I hear a conservative saying "They make too much" I shake my head. Isn't this the purest form of supply and demand?

cut him loose from the NFL because of a traffic ticket and a failure to appear for a traffic ticket? that's about the most stupid crap i've read on this board in a good while.

And the stadiums bring in how many millions in tax revenue from not only professional sports, but also concerts.....
Would you rather pay more in taxes to make up for the money lost if we didn't have that?
Quit your bitching.
