Darrelle Revis Charged With a Bunch of Stuff
I don't know about you but I can't imagine what it would be like to be walking down the street, have some kid ask me if I am who I am, and then when I answer yes, he pulls out his phone and starts recording me. Not sure I would be a big fan of it. Then again, I am not one of the best cornerbacks of all time either so nobody is rushing down the street to take iPhone videos of me. And that's why the charges against Jets CB Darrelle Revis need to be taken with a grain of salt. I've already seen calls for him to be cut, but I think this is a time where we really have to let the legal process play out. Just looking at the police statement, nothing in it implies that Revis was the aggressor. It does say he snatched the phone out of the guys hand, but this was after he had been videotaped for however long. The dude is entitled to his life, let him live it. The list of charges are also pretty funny too. According to the statement released by police, he is being charged with "robbery, terroristic threats, conspiracy and aggravated assault." I know one of those are fake because the red squiggly line shows up under "terroristic."Not sure what the conspiracy or the robbery was, but I bet a couple of those get dropped or altered as the investigation trudges forward. Don't know what to make of any of this, but Revis's lawyer communicated with Mike Garafolo of NFL.com and basically said that a bunch of guys were walking down the street by Revis and a couple of them got a little too rowdy. Apparently Darrelle had to go to the hospital to have his injuries looked at. Obviously the truth lies somewhere in the middle, but until everything gets played out, everyone on their high horses should relax. Everyone has a right to privacy and should be allowed to protect it. Even if they did leave a Super Bowl champ for the Jets.
