What happened with Prater, juicing?

Rich Boy · 08-24-14, 11:02 AM

lol I think the Prater news is more shocking.

First kicker to ever get suspended???

BigdaddyQH · 08-24-14, 11:06 AM

So Denver has to pick up a kicker for the first 4 games of the season. Three of those games are at home, and the away game is a guaranteed loss to Seattle, so this is not a big deal.

shaunovery · 08-24-14, 11:08 AM

Kicker no big loss

Welker bigger one , Denver got plenty of weapons though

El Nino · 08-24-14, 11:18 AM

Sanders > Welker

jjgold · 08-24-14, 11:19 AM

Wide receivers are the most overrated position in the NFL

Any good black athlete can catch the ball from a good quarterback

Bostongambler · 08-24-14, 11:21 AM

It's called creating space and getting open.

Footballtime · 08-24-14, 11:30 AM

I think i heard Prater had some old oui's and was not allowed to drink or something... Think they said guy is an alcoholic.......

Matt Prater to be suspended by NFL for first four games

Matt Prater to be suspended by NFL for first four games

Broncos kicker Matt Prater has been notified by the NFL he will be suspended through the first four games of the season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.

The violation was alcohol-related. Prater has been in the league's alcohol program since soon after he was charged with driving under the influence Aug. 12, 2011.

The four-game suspension, which is expected to be announced Monday, was part of an agreement reached between Prater's attorney, Harvey Steinberg, and the league, so an appeal is not expected. The NFL had initially threatened a one-year suspension.

So Prater drinks alcohol which is perfectly legal and gets a 4 game suspension.

Rice beats his fiance and gets a 2 game suspension.

Seems legit...

Manning is used to dealing with idiot, drunken kickers.

Rich Boy · 08-24-14, 01:04 PM

Prater is a badass kicker

I still haven't gotten over Peyton's opening snap in the Superbowl. I don't think his franchise has either. Chargers gonna pound that division.

This is because DBs not allowed to touch receivers until after they have caught the ball and have made no less than 2 football moves. Otherwise FLAG.

LordVodka · 08-25-14, 10:30 AM

Honestly what were the chances of Broncos making the playoffs this year anyway?

beating on anyone is bad when it's not for self defense, esp a woman. but would you be shocked if he got a 2 game suspension from punching a guy at a bar? prater drove while drunk which put many lives in jeopardy. to be suspended means he did it more then once...who do you think is a bigger threat to society, ray rice or prater?

ray rice is obviously more of a threat

at this point in Welkers career he is no longer a #1 reciever. But to say they don't need him is crazy.

Haven't read anything about Prater driving. This is his lawyer's statement, "No one feels worse about this than Matt Prater," Steinberg said. "He feels terribly for his teammates. It's cost him personally, both professionally and financially. I wonder if we shouldn't take a second look at the policy when only a couple beers were consumed at home while he was on vacation. Having said that, the NFL under the constraints of the policy couldn't have treated us better."

Ray Rice knocked his fiance out and dragged her out of an elevator like she was in his way. Punching a guy in a bar fight and knocking out a female are not in the same realm. One is usually dealt with as boys will be boys, public intox/drunk and disorderly maybe assault. Beating up your gf/fiance is DV and in some states is mandatory jail time. If you are convicted of DV, the repercussions are much more than a simple assault.

That pretty much sums up everything.

Vinnie Paz · 08-25-14, 05:41 PM

I believe prater is a repeat offender for alcohol related issues . He was actually supposed to receive a year long ban but his lawyer got it reduced to 4 games .

TwoWays · 08-25-14, 05:42 PM

Denver should pick up Ramon sessions.

Josh Gordon should get a similar punishment then imo.... maybe 5 games cuz the DUI too

Just don't fight any dogs and your okay. Hell, you can even kill a man while drunk... but kill a dog and you are fukked.
