While Chris Henry, Pacman Jones, Travis Henry and perhaps Darrion Scott have all made their cases for long-term or life-long suspensions from the NFL this offseason, few players have provided better fodder for such a punishment than former Cincinnati Bengal linebacker Odell Thurman.
After a fantastically promising rookie season in 2005 Thurman sat out the last two seasons for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. He was reinstated during the offseason, but before even making it to the pre-season he was suspended for another year – yes, another substance abuse policy mishap. It’s going to cost him at least one more season. The Bengals released their 2005 second round draft pick on May 27.
Now the douchbag – or is it douchebag – was indicted by an Erie County grand jury on a felonious assault charge stemming from a May 27 incident where he allegedly punched another man in the face, breaking his jaw at the Kalahari Waterpark Resort.
Det. Bob Lippert of the Erie County Sheriff’s Department told the Sandusky Register Online “we are trying to locate him.” Commissioner Roger Goodell and most football fans probably just want this Cro-Magnon man to go away.
