Aldon Smith Signs With Raiders

[pbmax]

And appears to be eligible for Week 1.

Last year he missed 9 games for suspension. He was involved in an incident this offseason and now has 3 pending charges (misdemeanors). But he will not be on the Commissioner's List as Exempt.

The Raiders: Characters welcome!


Hit and run is a misdemeanor? This should only be true when there's one out.

If Aldon can keep on the field, that really makes Oakland a strong defense.

I don't know what surprises me more, that he got signed, or that it looks like he'll actually be allowed to take the field! I wonder if the Raiders waited as long as possible to sign him so the league didn't have time to react.

So hefting pot around in your car is worth three games of suspension, but a hit and run is cool?

This guy should be out for the year at a minimum.

Plus, Goodell is handcuffed, he really can't stand another major fuckup.

At this point he should just make a chart. Then after establishing a precedent, he can think about making it much more responsive to individual circumstances.

No need to make a chart. Just try this:

I thought that was what he was doing. Throwing them at a picture of Belichick.
