CB Bradley Roby (2x All B1G)

[ant80]

Is this serious? He made contact with a bouncers chest and that was it. That is why the charges were reduced to Disorderly Contact today.

Maybe 1 game, maybe none.

I didn't realize charges were reduced. How exactly did he "make contact with a bouncer's chest?"

edit: Didn't read the associated article. Good news.

Admittedly, I haven't read every article on this situation. That being said, I've never once seen Roby accused of making contact with the bouncer's face. It's pretty shitty to post something like that unless you've read it from multiple sources.

He punched a bouncer in the face and still has charges pending. As opposed to Carlos Hyde who got suspended for 3 games because he didn't walk away after the girl slapped him. I think Roby is going to get a 5-6 game suspension. And given the standards UFM holds his players to nowadays, I think that's fair.

edit: When is the court date for Roby?

Ummm, this wasn't exactly where Hyde went wrong. He was aggressive back to the woman with most apparently a slap back at her face. If he just stood there and didn't walk away, he'd be starting against Buffalo.

Yeah, that says punched in the chest, not the face.

I've seen a video of UFM saying the penalty on Hyde was because Hyde didn't walk away. Go look for those videos on the rumor mill on Hyde.

Obviously I didn't remember the complete details. While a punch to the chest is better than a punch to a face, a punch is a punch. And hence my original post.

I say he gets two games. Urban wants leadership and he is expecting it from certain individuals. Urban anticipates these guys know better and will do the right things/don't put themselves in bad positions and that they will set the example for others

Agreed 100%. Roby failed to walked not only once, but twice (on the night he got himself in trouble). Roby also has charges pressed on him and it was confirmed he threw a punch at a guy. His situation is much more aggressive than Hyde's.

I think that if the media hadn't misreported the Hyde situation, we would be looking at Hyde sitting for 1 game and Roby for 3 games. Now that the deal is done and Hyde is confirmed out for 3, its only fair Roby get 3 games as well. Set and follow the precedence.

I had a commander that once said: "They call it an adult beverage because you are supposed to act like an adult when you have them."

Huge difference is the Male vs Female interactions in the eyes of UFM and females being specifically called out in team rules. I'm guessing Roby with one game suspension.

No way.

Perhaps you should consider less style? Think more. Feel less.

An Indiana prosecutor has offered Ohio State star cornerback Bradley Roby the opportunity to enter a pretrial diversion program that could result in a misdemeanor assault charge being dismissed.

Roby was arrested this summer after an altercation outside a Bloomington bar. It was alleged that he made contact with an employee of the bar while being refused re-admittance after he had been taken outside in the wake of a fight.

Chief Deputy Prosecutor Bob Miller said Roby, a pivotal player in the Buckeyes' hopes in 2013, has yet to indicate whether he will accept the offer. Miller said the deal is available to first-time, misdemeanor violators and would require the charge to be dismissed if Roby isn't arrested in the next year.

Ohio State football spokesman Jerry Emig said the team had no comment.

Roby has been working out with the second team on defense as a part of his punishment. Coach Urban Meyer has said he would withhold judgment on further sanctions pending Roby's court case.

A telephone message was left Friday for Roby's attorney, Samuel Shapiro, and not immediately returned.

Roby initially was charged with battery resulting in bodily injury, punishable by a year in jail and a $5,000 fine. On Friday the charge was lowered to disorderly conduct, carrying a maximum sentence of 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
