Exactly the first thing I thought, cause he was the Man in that game. My how the mighty have fallen.

His kid plays RB for the Terps. I wonder if this will come up on campus.

Re: Former Giant Dave Meggett Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison
 

How ironic that he was sentenced in years to the same number (30) that he wore on his jersey.

Re: Former Giant Dave Meggett Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison
 

OMG. I remember DM very well. Seems like these sexual incidents follow him around. Where there's smoke, there's fire. 30 years a real hard time.

Re: Former Giant Dave Meggett Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison
 

Love the guy as a football player but seems as a person ....he's an ass.I don't feel sorry for the guy at all,if it happens once fine could be a "misunderstanding" but when it happens more then 3 different times all in different places....it's you.As the father of 3 girls ...and I mean it....raise your hand to a girl that is related to me and you will wish that you where in jail for 30 years!

Damn, I forgot all about that

Re: Former Giant Dave Meggett Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison
 

When my sister lived in DC & the G men were in town, Megget hit on her in a bar (not literally "hit" by the way). She'll probably be creeped out when she hears about this.

Re: Former Giant Dave Meggett Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison
 

That's a real shame. I can never forget what a nemesis he was for us during his tenure with the Giants, in dual aspects. You're right SS, Parcells really loved the guy, he always seemed to have his best games against us.

Re: Former Giant Dave Meggett Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison
 

Sad to hear this, but Meggett has established a pattern of behavior that finally caught up with him. Good player, but a rotten human being.

"Look at that little Megget run!"

Re: Former Giant Dave Meggett Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison
 

This is sad. I met him at his alma matter Towson Univ. after he won the superbowl and he signed my brothers giants items (hes a giant fan?) and I always had respect for him. such a shame. But I will accept the court rulings that he is guilty.

Ironically, his #was 30 and will be doing a 30 year bid.

Hope you like prison food.... and penis !

Dumb dee dumb dumb DUUUMMMB!

Ha ha, true. Really the Bengals were my team.

Re: Former Giant Dave Meggett Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison
 

This has been all over the local news the last few days. Can't feel sorry for a guy with this many past involvements assualting women.

Roger Craig was unstoppable in Techmo Bowl 1.

He was a man among video pixels.

The time of hanging around LT didn't help him.

Re: Former Giant Dave Meggett Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison
 

Its about time the criminal justice system started giving real years of incarceration for sexual offenses.

Not less than 15-20 years ago, rape was a very under punished crime for reasons I still cant figure out. Now, finally, sexual criminals are being put away for time commensurate with the offense.

Re: Former Giant Dave Meggett Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison
 

Sexual Assualts can destroy lives and families. They are a very serious problem for the victim and the families to deal with the aftermath. Some are never the same. So a punihsment that forever alters the offenders life is very fitting and fair.

I agree with you 100% OTM.

Re: Redskins
 

I'm glad he didn't use Big Ben's lawyer. Still puzzles me how he got off so easy. Then again...

Re: Former Giant Dave Meggett Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison
 

Wait, wait, wait......... sexual assault? are you sure it wasn't that he was trying out his new job trade of being a message therapist?

Re: Former Giant Dave Meggett Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison
 

I was surprised to read this - - - not because I don't agree with big time sentences for folks convicted or this kind of stuff.


I had heard that a plea deal had been made with the prosecutors that would have given him a MUCH shorter sentence. Obviously, this result indiactes one of two things:


1. That plea deal fell through - or

2. The story I heard was never based in realilty.

Re: Former Giant Dave Meggett Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison
 

In MD, sentencing is within the sole discretion of the judge.

A judge is only bound to a guaranteed sentence if that judges agrees to it in response to a written request that he/she do so from both parties (St Atty and Def).

So while the plea agreement btw the St Atty and Def could have been that the St Atty would recommend 5 yrs incarceration, the judge can give whatever period of incarceration he/she wants under the law.

The St Atty and Def counsel can make their proffers to the Court, but the Court is not bound by a sentence agreement unless that Court/Judge agreed to do so in writing before sentencing.

Typically, judges in MD dont like giving up their right to fashion sentences.

Here we have the opposite of Meggett in Leonard Marshall, by the way that hit on Montana has to be the best or one of the best hits of all time.

Yeah, that was awesome too. The funny thing is that Giants seem to have always gotten the best out of the 49ers (kicked their ass twice on their way to the SB) and still the 49ers get all the glory. In my opinion those Giants team were better than any 49er team.
