I don't see why you don't cut Smith now. The guy is, to quote a certain Straight Edge Superstar, "A sloppy, drunken douche."

Police told reporters Smith "may have been drinking" prior to the incident, but "it was not a factor to his arrest." Drinking should be a concern for the 49ers, however, as Smith missed five 2013 games while undergoing substance abuse treatment. -Rotoworld Aw son of a bitch! Probably shouldn't of allowed him to come back this year Didn't seem like a real punishment

Profootballtalk's Mike Florio is "hearing more talk" in league circles that the draft stock of this year's top-rated quarterbacks is "dropping."
SI's Peter King added fuel to this fire in his MMQB column, stating the Texans, Browns, Jaguars, and Raiders are all "strongly considering" passing on signal callers at the top of the draft, "and waiting until their second or third selections."
Sources tell CSN Philly that the Eagles tried to trade for C.J. Spiller before dealing for Darren Sproles.

CBS Sports' Pete Prisco "keeps hearing" that Eastern Illinois QB Jimmy Garoppolo will go in the first-round and believes, if true, that a team would be making "a big mistake."
Buffalo edge player Khalil Mack will visit Houston next week, and NFL.com's Ian Rapoport writes that the Texans "are looking at all options at No. 1."

Because he hasn't done anything that would make it impossible to keep playing football. Teams will go on 'till the cows come home about character, but if a player is super talented and isn't doing anything that guarantees jail time, they're not going anywhere.

Apparently Donald Trump wants to buy the Buffalo Bills and says if he does, he would keep them in Buffalo. espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10785589/donald-trump-interested-buying-buffalo-billsConsidering Trump was mainly responsible for the end of the USFL, has been accused of defrauding more than 500,000 people of $40 million, would basically be like Rush Limbaugh (who tried to buy the Rams) in that plenty of players would refuse to play for him based on his history of being an asshole (yes, I am sugarcoating that), I would say hell no to Donald Trump owning the Buffalo Bills. Besides, the guy is a pathological liar so I don't believe for a second he would keep the Bills in Buffalo if he owned them.

I don't see why you don't cut Smith now. The guy is, to quote a certain Straight Edge Superstar, "A sloppy, drunken douche." You don't cut a guy like Aldon Smith because his talent at rushing the passer isn't easily replaceable. Aldon's issues can be fixed quite easily if he just has a designated driver. The report says he wasn't intoxicated at the time of his arrest. Having a few drinks does not make one a sloppy drunken douche. That straight edge garbage does not apply to this specific situation. His prior DUI's he was a drunken asshole though, there are no excuses for that.

He's clearly a lot more baggage than a designated driver (and rehab, since he had that last year) can handle

Nobody knows exactly what he said or how he said it. He probably made a stupid ass sarcastic remark and the TSA agent went on a powertrip and made an example out of him.
It was incredibly dumb to say the word bomb at an airport, but we don't know all the details. I'm not defending his actions, but I don't think this issue is as huge of deal that the media is making it out to be.

He's a high profile athelete who was suspended 5 games and was in rehab after a very public arrest. I'm saying: if it were me, I would make sure I did everything I could to keep myself out of any trouble.

As a Bills fan, I fear our team will get bought by some guy who just wants to move them.
God forbid somebody WANTS to buy the Bills. I don't want us to have another Cleveland Browns owner from hell situation.

From one Niners fan to another, it is a big deal unless he was saying something like "Chuck is the bomb.com." He said bomb at an airport to a TSA agent. That's something you don't do, even if it's sarcastic, or in a joking manner. You don't pull that shit.

Packers re-signed QB Matt Flynn. Probably not the worst idea. He is not starter quality, as the last couple of season showed, but he is a capable backup that can keep the wheels from falling off completely if Rodgers gets hurt for a few games again.

Nobody knows exactly what he said or how he said it. He probably made a stupid ass sarcastic remark and the TSA agent went on a powertrip and made an example out of him. According to a statement from the LAPD, Smith made a comment "indicating that he was in possession of a bomb before proceeding towards the gate area." He said "bomb" at an airport. Not only that, he indicated that he had a bomb. At an airport. There's no "power trip" by a TSA agent to be found here. You don't indicate that you have a bomb, hell, you don't say the word "bomb" at an airport, and if you are stupid enough to do so, you deserve to get arrested, end of discussion. People at airports have no time for "Hey, I was just joking around about the bomb. LOL!" The moment that the word "bomb" comes out of your mouth at an airport, you deserve to be arrested. And given Aldon Smith's history with alcohol and guns, he doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt from anybody. The guy has a clear history of being a complete horse's ass, and this is just another clip to add to the file.
