PPG Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell was admitted into a court program this morning that, if completed successfully, will lead to the marijuana charges filed against him last summer being dismissed.
Attorney Robert Del Greco, who represented Mr. Bell, said his client will be in full compliance with the program. “He’s relieved to have the matter finally resolved with the opportunity to earn dismissal and expungement,” he said. “I expect Le’Veon will not be a repeat offender.” Mr. Del Greco said he expects the completion of the criminal matter to initiate the NFL’s potential sanctions. “I cannot predict the outcome, but the guidelines would suggest maybe a one- or two-game suspension.”
It was all fun and games last week when Josh Gordon was shut down for an entire season when he had a few drinks on the plane. Now the LeVeon Bell might face a suspension for his troubles last August I’m pissed.
The LeGarrette Blount – Steeler story may be one of the craziest roller coasters of emotion I’ve experienced as a fan. At first it sounded promising, perhaps offering a thunder and lightning dynamic in the backfield. Then he was the bad apple who was with Bell during this arrest so he became enemy number one. When the Steelers black balled him before cutting him I thought they were outsmarting themselves. This would only escalate when Bell couldn’t play in the playoffs and we didn’t have a running back and lost to the Ravens. Even amidst the rumors Blount orchestrated his exit, which made no sense, I still was bitter how the Steelers handled his tenure.
No with this latest chapter I’m pissed we ever touched LeGarrette Blount. Classic tale of a hot chick who ends up being a slut you kick to the curb only to find out 3 months later that she married a millionaire and oh yea gave you herpes.
Steelers have to find a proficient running back now this offseason. Gotta have a guy who can carry the load when needed and isn’t another glorified backup.
