Mixon and Cook

robbieballs2003 : 3/24/2017 3:03 pm
Why do I see Mixon totally dismissed by most posters on this site but, yet, Cook's history is almost never brough up? I never see anybody dismiss Cook when he is talked about on here. Cook's history not only seems worse but also seems to suggest more of a pattern of bad behavior than Mixon's one incident.

Disclaimer: I am not saying it is all right to hit women. Far from it. I just don't understand the drastically different opinions of both players. Is it because there was a video of Mixon's incident?
was Cook's on video

? I don't really know his history but once something is on video its a different ball game.

Quote:
In 2009, Cook was arrested and charged with robbery. Cook was arrested and charged with firing and possession of a weapon at a school in 2010. In June of 2014, Cook was charged with criminal mischief for allegedly shooting a B.B. gun and causing property damage. In July of 2014, Cook was cited for a violation of animal care for chaining three pit bull puppies together by the neck. In June of 2015, Cook was accused of punching a woman in the face outside a bar in Tallahassee and was charged with misdemeanor battery.

While none of these arrests and charges lead to convictions, there is a pattern of concerning red flags that are troubling.

Mixon was ready and waiting for his chance.
One Word - Video  
Suburbanites : 3/24/2017 3:16 pm : link
And that video was brutal and is accessible to watch at any time. As bad as the video is and it's brutal he made things worse when he tried to place the race card to justify his actions. There were countless witnesses both inside the restaurant and out and no one can corroborate that as he was walking by the girl and her small non athletic male friend they tossed racial slurs at Mixon and his buddies. Give me a freaking break on that one. The girl alleges the ugly incident all started with Mixon and his friends making ugly homophobic slurs towards her friend. And that's what she was so animated about in the restaurant. Her story is why more plausible then his, I wouldn't touch this POS, if teams are desperate for a running back there are plenty in this draft. I've heard and read a lot of draftniks saying that Mixon will get drafted around the third round. I say he goes the entire draft without getting drafted. Before you call me out on that let's see how it plays out, I'll stand by my prediction.

Because it is a business and the video hits home harder than just reading about it but I am talking about the posters on this site. Just because there is a video of something shouldn't make a crime any worse than it is. It is horrible either way but because there wasn't a video of Cook makes posters have a double standard regarding the two players? So, it is okay to commit a crime as long as it wasn't caught on video?
Both should be dismissed.

I haven't noticed. For me, the video doesn't make a difference. I personally have no interest in rooting for guys like them. I wouldn't get on someone for wanting one of them, I just have no interest.

allstarjim : 3/24/2017 3:23 pm : link
everything to do with Cook didn't actually hit a woman. This has been explained numerous times here, ffs.

I actually think Mixon shouldn't be avoided in the draft if the interviews and his behavior since the incident check out. But the comparison of Cook and Mixon is inane.

There were witnesses, Cook didn't hit the girl, and Cook's transgressions have been petty, not worse at all than ktfo of a young girl. FFS.

Right... and there was a witness that had no prior relationship to either party in the case that corroborated Cook's innocence. Falling down drunk chick pushed a teammate in the back, Cook tried to be a peacemaker, gets rung up on charges. Took jury less than 30 minutes to say not guilty.

Didn't he also tell the woman that he'd be able to buy her when he turned pro?

I am just curious which is why I started the thread. And just because someone wasn't convicted doesn't mean it didn't happen. Call me crazy but I have never got charged with a misdemeanor or felony.

I personally think everybody should be given a second chance. Of someone messed up they can own it and still make a difference. The thing I didn't like about Brown was that he never owned what he did. He tried to hide it and never tried to turn it into a positive such as bringijg awareness to it, giving speeches, etc. If Mixon started a charity for domestic abuse and became an advocate against it then I would absolutely give him a second chance.

Mixon is going to get a second chance  
UConn4523 : 3/24/2017 3:40 pm : link
either as a late round pick or an UFA. He lost his big money and well, make better choices.

If you are going to hit a woman like that you really don't have much of a leg to stand on. A charity is a step in the right direction but it can also be lip service. I would avoid him entirely, and the Giants have every right to.
Think of all the off camera stuff Mixon has done.

allstarjim : 3/24/2017 3:55 pm : link
Cook did was having puppies all chained up inhumanely. That bothers me a great deal, and I think he's pretty ignorant or unempathetic to animals.

BB gun bullshit aside... didn't affect Jameis and won't affect Cook. And yes, when you have legitimate, unbiased witness accounts that say it didn't go down the way some drunk off her ass chick said it did, and a jury heard all the testimony and saw all the evidence and needed the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee to say not guilty... yeah, that means he didn't hit a girl. No one is saying something didn't happen... it did, just that he didn't do what was alleged.

In terms of Mixon, he knocked a girl out... 3 years ago on the night of his 18th birthday. And again, if he has been a model citizen since then and remorseful, then yes, I would draft him. Just because it's on camera, that has nothing to do with anything. It was inexcusable and horrible behavior. A crime. And if the Giants are comfortable with the nearly 21 year-old Joe Mixon today, I'd say yes, draft him. This isn't the boy scouts, he can play.

While that's true, what's the point of having a trial if a person is going to be tarred and feathered anyway? This isn't like the George Zimmerman case where everyone acknowledges Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin and the "why" is important. In Cook's case, the very accusation itself is in dispute.

You definitely don't want a player involved in something like this (especially when discussing a pattern of behavior), but barring more information, I'm not going to ignore the verdict and treat him like he was guilty of this charge.

Cook never hit that girl. It was a lie. She was so drunk she couldn't make a written statement as neither could her friend. Cook had walked her to her car from another incident which she started and then she proceeded to smack Travis Rudolph in the back of the head. Her father "helped" her pick him out of pictures. A witness said he did not touch her. He pushed for a trial to clear his name and the jury returned an acquittal verdict in less than half an hour.
I looked it up and posted articles last week on his incidents. The BB gun incident and tying puppies to a tree were his big transgressions.

So do some research before make "move on" statements. You are better than that.

His so called apology was pathetic, first of all it came more than two years after the incident. And when finally "apologized" he spun it in an attempt to make himself a victim of circumstances. Here's exactly what he said. "I was not drinking; I have never had a drink in my life. At the end of the night, a group of apparently drunk people started harassing us. Some of my teammates were wise enough to leave. I did not, and I am sorry." Mixon claimed racial slurs were hurled at him and his friends by the the girl and her extremely small male friend, an allegation that he hasn't been able to corroborate. Look at the video, he approaches them, you can see him say something that agitates her and frightens the guy. She pushes Mixon and glances the side of his neck. In return he hauls off and clobbers her with a vicious punch breaking 4 bones in her face and her jaw.

I'm all for forgiveness but Mixon has never truly taken responsibility for his actions. He's not sorry, he's sorry he's shown on video, he's sorry his draft prospects have been hurt but in no way has he shown an ounce of contrition. I wouldn't want this piece shit anywhere near my team.

Whhhhhhhhhhat? We just had the incident with Josh Brown and you want to open this box of PR nightmare?

Get fuckin real. A guy who hits a woman like THAT should have to try and rebuild his image and career in Canada. Or Europe.

I am also not one of those people that think a woman should never be struck by a guy. There are situations when a man is confined and getting attacked by a hysterical woman....when she is just wailing on him; going after his balls. But even then, maybe just shoving them hard enough to get you out of there. Or taking them down to restrain them. A strike only if she is going for a weapon. But a girl half your size pushing and even slapping you and you wheel back and sucker punch her in the jaw so that her head hits a table? Fuck no.

Let the Cowboys sign that cum dribble
Honestly, fuck Mixon and fuck anyone who thinks  
732NYG : 3/24/2017 5:36 pm : link
he deserves a second chance after watching that video. If anyone of us was filmed doing the same thing, our career would be over. Cook on the other hand, I would absolutely draft.
There was another Mixon incident,  
Giantgator : 3/24/2017 5:50 pm : link
a run-in with a parking attendant:

Mixon reportedly approached the parking attendant right after the citation was written.
"Don't put that shi*t in my face," Mixon told the attendant, the incident report states.
Mixon then ripped the citation in half and threw it at the parking attendant.
According to the incident report, the torn pieces hit the parking attendant in the face.
Mixon then got into his vehicle and "inched at the officer with vehicle in drive to intimidate the officer with vehicle," the report details.

Mixon and Cook have a right to work, just let it be for another team.

Great. How does Mixon have anything to do with Cook? Honestly some of you people need to get your shit together.
How many effin times do need to be shown articles that Cook did not hit his accuser? How many times do you need to be shown the articles that showed he had an independent witness say he didn't hit her? How many times do you need to be shown articles that show that the drunk girl and her drunker friend couldn't even make a written statement to the police or that she hit another FSU football player (Same guy that sat with the autistic boy at lunch in his school.)
He was acquitted in less than 30 minutes in a trail he asked for.

You want to poops on him for shooting windows with a BB gun, ok. You want to poop on him for tying up puppies improperly, that is fine too. Just don't say he popped some drunk girl.
Just based on a PR standpoint, I don't see Mixon to NYG happening

And Mixon will go to another team and be a beast running the ball while the giants and their fans live high on this morally clean code. give me a break, if the kid is good and can be coached or mentored then he deserves to play anywhere.

That woman raised her hand first and I read all the reports that i needed to read on this subject, whether she called him the 'N' word or whether he called her the "B" word means nothing... its on video that she assaulted him and he retaliated, even shows that he pulled back his initial aggression and retaliated after the second hit.

The kid wasn't even talking to her he was talking to the other kid and was about to leave showed no aggression to the other kid until she got involved; if you got the balls to hit someone bigger/stronger than you then you got the balls to deal with the consequences.

In my experience, folks so lost and damaged inside they can do that and not be shocked and mortified and do a lot about it...are later even more lost and damaged inside ticking from the knowledge the chaos has been revealed and the non stop questions that follow. That makes the probability of "change" about when not if.

What about New York, the media and lots of money that helps ungrounded guys stay well wrapped?

i don't care what you think i need, this is the internet lady. I live pretty well, therapy free. Also mental health is a big issue in this world and people that truly need it are suffering from an illness that society stigmatizes, so to make a reference like that so carelessly knowing that there are people that benefit from it ala a brandon marshall makes you a despicable human being.

She hit him, she got his back end of story, maybe next time she thinks twice before putting her hands on anyone man woman or child. if he had hit her first i would wholeheartedly agree, get off your high horse.

It could easily be three years of revelations, charges and countercharges and headlines and questions of players and Mara and Macadoo and Tisch ( whose other job it is to hope women come to movies) before the main PR nightmare is over and forever before it's ever over.

I am all for his personal redemption and path to peace. I am also for smart business decisions.

He needs therapy as much as You do for condoning it as "she hit me so that means I can hurt her now". Defending oneself is one thing,striking to hurt/kill is another. He is wrong as are You most courts would throw the book at him.
It could be argued He used Deadly force being an collegiate athlete.
It would be like an soldier fighting in a street fight and using his military prowess to injure/kill the other person. He got off light.

you are an idiot to think that holds up.
he open palm slapped her he didn't grip his fists or show intent of malice thereafter. he hit her back on a reaction to her hitting him twice.

tried to make this civil, but fuck off with this "she hit me so that means I can hurt her now". stupid double standard bullshit. she hit him so that means he can hit her back. whether you like it or not its self defense and in the courts that would be his defense argument and with the video he would get off, it not about feelings its about what can be proved and the video proves who was the initiator of the assault.

this is psychological... boys are told from young to not hit women and how wrong it is, boys grow up learning this as a terribly immoral thing to do based on teachings and learned experience. So i understand the public shock at this, but look at what you just said "if she hits you first?"

no one should raise their hands against anyone if they don't expect consequences thereafter... she had no business raising her had to that man twice!!!!

Im in the military and i've seen a friend get kicked out of the military cause a girl he was dating hit him multiple times and all he did was restrained her from hitting him anymore.

I got removed from my apartment that I paid for cause my EX threw an xbox controller at my head and when i called the cops with a bloody lip, because i was the man i had to leave.

So while I am not saying if a woman hits your arm or just pushes you, you try to kill her, but i am saying that everyone boiling point is different, her pushing and slapping him in the face was his boiling point and he slapped her back with force. she was wrong to begin with, it had nothing to do with her.

I never said Cook hit a girl, I just don't want him on my team. Based on his penchant for clean prospects at the top of the draft, I don't think Jerry Reese will either.


So you "just" don't want the best RB in the draft on your team?
If Cook is available at #23, JR will take him unless an equally rated CB or DE is available. His transgressions are not that vile that they would pass on him unless a better or equally rated player at a premium position was available.
It really doesn't matter because Cook will not be there at #23.
Mixon and Cook

are both scumbags and neither deserves an NFL career.

these guys and the FO had talks with them and they decide that these one time incidents or incidents in general are stuff these players can get over, then they will be giants.

Mara said he would like to add a RB somewhere there is nowhere else other than the draft or possibility of A.P.

So to all you fans that are so disgusted with these players, be prepared to stop rooting for the team if one of them are selected, for the sake of your higher morale code. I'll be the scumbag who needs therapy and root for whoever gets us closer to a 5th title

And Mixon will go to another team and be a beast running the ball while the giants and their fans live high on this morally clean code. give me a break, if the kid is good and can be coached or mentored then he deserves to play anywhere.

That woman raised her hand first and I read all the reports that i needed to read on this subject, whether she called him the 'N' word or whether he called her the "B" word means nothing... its on video that she assaulted him and he retaliated, even shows that he pulled back his initial aggression and retaliated after the second hit.

The kid wasn't even talking to her he was talking to the other kid and was about to leave showed no aggression to the other kid until she got involved; if you got the balls to hit someone bigger/stronger than you then you got the balls to deal with the consequences.

in the court of law this is textbook assault, no matter who's strongers


What utter bullshit. He walked up behind the couple and said something. Why? They weren't even looking at him. They said he called her friend a faggot. From the video, it certainly supports their version much more than his, Yes, she tried to hit him, but he outweighed her by over 100 lbs. I hope you have no women in your life who go through something like this.

Mixon was lying then, and he is lying now. He started it, and I personally don't give a shit if he is another AP; I don't want to see him in Giant blue. Cook looks like he has some serious issues as well, but even his assault charges were not nearly as violent as what Mixon did. I wouldn't tough either of them.
