Re: NFL Training Camp thread!

I think the story behind the punch is this:


Quote:
At the heart of the dispute between former Jets LB IK Enemkpali and quarterback Geno Smith is $600 that Enemkpali believed Smith owed him, per league sources. Enemkpali purchased a plane ticket for Smith to attend his July 11 football camp at Pfugerville High School in Pfugerville, Texas. However, days before the camp, a person close to Smith was killed in a motorcycle accident in Miami and Smith did not attend Enemkpali’s camp, per sources. After Smith did not attend, Enemkpali demanded that the Jets’ quarterback refund him the $600 he allegedly used to purchase a plane ticket. Smith told Enemkpali he would reimburse him the money, but he did not. Enkempali confronted Smith today about the money and the confrontation ended in a punch and broken jaw.

Darrelle Revis holds them both accountable. So it looks like Geno isn't purely innocent here.(even though not deserving of a punch to the face)

I think this says a lot about what the teammates think of Geno. Could you imagine somebody popping Brady, Rodgers or Manning in the jaw? I don't think they'd be in that situation to be honest with you.

I doubt the League will interfere with this. I'm sure stuff like this happens a bit (minus the fractured jaw though).
