Now that the charges against Alabama offensive tackle Cam Robinson and defensive back Hootie Jones have been dropped, many want to know what punishment the two athletes will face.

According to AL.com, punishment has already been handed down to the two players:

quote:
According to the documents, both players have had to undergo weekly urine tests, have had regular drug counseling, have monthly video appointments with a mental health consultant and have had to meet twice a week with a Tuscaloosa police officer for gun safety/ownership education.

They also both have had to complete 20 hours of community service.

In addition, Robinson has spent at least 26 hours riding along with the Northport Police Department while Jones had to spend 21 days in a drug rehab program, per the documents.

Robinson and Jones have been suspended indefinitely since May, but it is known at this time if they will miss any games when the season starts.

Guns and drugs can't even get you kicked off the team at Alabama, if you're good enough.

Punishment will be suspension from the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers game

the LSU fan in me sure would like to see these guys disappear from the bama football team....but this honestly sounds right in line with the way Les would handle it if these guys were our players.

Perhaps - but where is a comparable example...Perilloux, it seems, was treated harsher.

AUbagman•119 months

I don't mind this. Most people get put into a diversion program with a first offense, regardless of status. I'd rather see actual rehabilitation rather than just tossing them in jail and ensuring their lives are ruined. Hopefully this is the wake up call they need and will appreciate it.

offshoretrash•119 months

The only problem I have with this is they had a stolen gun and I would bet any amount of money they knew it was stolen. This is what they should have been charged for not slapped on the hand. No one else would have gotten away with that.

dreaux•119 months

Honestly seems pretty fair.

EazyBreesy•119 months

Seems fair? Any other kid that's gets arrested for that sees jail time, fines, their record permanently fricked, fired from their job. And it doesn't say anywhere on there about what happens if they don't go.

dreaux•119 months

They would've almost certainly received as first time offenders... deferred adjudication. No jail time and sealed or expunged upon completion. And I say "seems pretty fair relative to my own beliefs that pot should be legal and guns is a basic American right. We could arrgue the points all day but I dgaf...it's my opinion

Nick Saban is soft

SECdragonmaster•119 months

Missed games is all that matters to athletes. Sabben is a soft biotch.

MykTide•119 months

A biotch you would love if he coached your team.

Sancho Panza•119 months

He couldn't win, coaching my team.

Rakim•119 months

Sounds good to me.

Big Sway•119 months

Amen Dreaux! But a stolen weapon is a little different.

Cadello•119 months

Heard both had sore wrists after the punishment was handed down.

HarryBalzack•119 months

Did Cam get to ride up front?

ColoradoElkHerd•119 months

Several years ago two of Sumlin's starters were arrested for guns and weed. They were Dismissed, as in gone forever, the next day.

LSUFanMizeWay•119 months

Satan will suspend both for the entire season.

Herman Frisco•119 months

EazyBreesy,
You seem upset. Read the DAs report.
The Parish had no case.
What they received from Saban should teach both players a life lesson.
That is a good thing.

SpookeyTiger•119 months

This is why the behavior continues; they know nothing is going to happen. Sad really. This "punishment" = ROFL.

JCinBAMA•119 months

I knew most of the comments, would be
Salty.

Lordofwrath88•119 months

God that sounds.... boring

ATL-TIGER-732•119 months

"meet twice a week with a Tuscaloosa police officer for gun safety/ownership education"
So they are teaching them how to properly shoot people?
Whatever happened to "Just say no!"?
