"New England Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard was found guilty Wednesday on charges of assaulting an officer and resisting arrest for an incident that took place near a Lincoln, Neb., bar in April 2012, the Lincoln Journal Star and Omaha World-Herald have reported. Sentencing for the case will be April 11. Dennard's felony conviction for assaulting an officer carries a maximum sentence of five years in jail and up to a $10,000 fine, according to the World-Herald (ESPN)."
I am assuming he isn't going to get 5 years in jail for this, but I would also assume he is going to at least do a little bit of time (usually 0-180 days), a fine, community service, AND be suspended a couple games by the NFL. If you can remember back this is the same guy that got in a fight before the NFL draft, which caused him to drop to the 7th round. He has been cleared of those charges, but obviously this is not a good sign for this kid.
He had 3 INTs last year, and looked set to have a spot with the Patriots. Even after this I would be surprised if he was cut, as the Patriots need all the CB help they can get.
I know where this is going, and DP will start screaming about why I am not making a bigger deal out of this like Ray Lewis and Terrell "I throw bleach on babies" Suggs, but it's pretty simple. I don't listen to this guy preach, or speak about God, or tell me how I'm supposed to live. So yes he is a terrible person that should pay the price for what he did, but he's not a hypocrite that I have to watch on TV every day.
And yea, you're damn right I'm biased.
