Update: NFL suspends Aldon Smith 9 games

Recommended Posts

Per Rotoworld.com:

49ers OLB Aldon Smith was arrested early Friday morning for suspicion of driving under the influence.
According to San Jose Police, Smith was arrested at 7 AM this morning after being involved in a one-car accident. Smith was the driver and nobody was injured. That's all the details we know at the moment. This is Smith's second DUI. He was arrested in January of 2012 in Miami for the same offense. Smith was also stabbed at a house party earlier this summer. Alcohol was involved there. He needs to smarten up and stay away from the booze. Smith is subject to a suspension, though one likely won't be handed down until next year. Sep 20 - 12:53 PM
The 49ers are not saying whether OLB Aldon Smith will play in Week 3 following his Friday morning arrest for DUI.
We suspect Smith will -- the 49ers want to win above all else -- but he's likely to be suspended later this year or in 2014. "The 49ers organization is aware of the matter involving Aldon Smith," the team said in a release. "As we continue to gather information regarding this situation, we will have no further comment." This is Smith's second DUI arrest in his three-year NFL career. Sep 20 - 2:20 PM
In addition to suspicion of DUI, 49ers OLB Aldon Smith was booked on charges of marijuana possession by San Jose Police on Friday morning.
Smith blew a .15 on his breathalyzer test, though it's unclear how much weed was discovered. Smith is undoubtedly, eventually facing a league-imposed suspension, and at this point we wouldn't be totally shocked if he were held out of Sunday's game against the Colts. That'd be a nice development for Andrew Luck's fantasy matchup. We expect to know more by Sunday morning. Sep 20 - 2:40 PM

The San Francisco 49ers made a puzzling decision to play linebacker Aldon Smith, despite reports that he would soon be entering a rehab facility, but they went forward with their plans and announced after the game that their stud defender would not be available for the Thursday night match up against the St. Louis Rams.

According to 49ers CEO Jed York, Smith has been suspended indefinitely.

Another interesting note following the game is that Smith’s locker at Candlestick Park is “completely empty.” according to Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com.

Photos that surfaced of Smith’s post-game interviews with the media show that his locker was indeed cleaned and that his name tag was even removed from the locker. This all comes just one day and a half after Smith was arrested on suspicion of DUI and marijuana possession. It was his second DUI arrest in just two years.

Smith is now expected to enter a substance abuse program, but the league could still step in and hand out a suspension of their own.

They made the wrong call in playing him at all today... I will just pretend they were ignorant and didn't know he was on his way to rehab.

Aldon Smith to take indefinite leave of absence from the 49ers.

 

 

To be perfectly honest, he deserves to be suspended, too. I don't want to see him on the field any time soon. Too many incidents.

The timing seems a bit convenient schedule wise. Although I think it's a good move from a protect the investment standpoint regardless. The niners schedule gets a bit cushy for the next six weeks (including bye week). I mentioned on a Hawks forum yesterday that if I were the team, I'd preempt a possible NFL suspension with a self imposed suspension on a timetable of my choosing. Thereby having Smith's services available when the games matter more.

 

As it was, the NFL could have let the situation fester for weeks before handing down a 4 game suspension at a more inconvenient time.

 

That notwithstanding, it's a good move by the team. Get him the help he clearly needs. Try to help him get his life right. Record be damned. I admire the guts the organization is showing by handling it firmly, yet compassionately.

Smith shouldn't have been playing Sunday. The 49ers don't give a shit about the people involved,even their own player, just about winning on Sundays . Which, by the way, they didn't even do!

So much for being a classy organization. Niners are so quick to judge others, yet are even pettier and more classless than those they judge. They get on Richard Sherman for never shutting up, yet they were the ones trash talking all the way up to our game. They call our players criminals while their players are out getting DUIs, and they play them anyway. They call our players classless while Kaep runs off like a little bitch instead of shaking Wilson's hand after the game.

 

It's time for the Niners to look in the mirror and admit their superior "classy" image is just a facade and that they are no better than the rest of us.

Ya, Jim Harbaugh bitched at Clay Matthews for that late hit (not saying he didn't have a point)... But that week, TWO of his players were fined by league offices for hits that weren't even flagged. He and his team are no better than the garbage that spills out of his mouth.

 

It would really please me to see them go like 6 - 10 or worse.

^This is why I call the 9ers a dirty team. Just watch 'em. It's obvious.

Yeah, and Harbaugh going around saying Matthews had to "repair his dirty image" because of one late hit. Matthews has a superbowl ring. He doesn't have to prove shit to you Harbaugh. Not to mention the stink they raised about that chop block injury in our game. Pretty sure they chop block linemen all the time, but of course it only becomes an issue when it happens to THEM. And of course Harbaugh's temper tantrum about the league not changing the rules to protect read-option QBs. Pretty sure that's why he's so terrified to have Kaepernick scramble anymore.

A source tells ESPN's Ed Werder there's no timetable for 49ers OLB Aldon Smith's stint away from the team.

"We want him to be treated as a person, not as a player," the source said. "It's not like he's going to be magically cured in a month. If the problem is serious enough, a month might not be enough. The only timetable on this is him getting well." Smith can be safely ruled out for the next two games, but it wouldn't be shocking if he were held out through the 49ers' Week 9 bye. We don't expect that, but there's no way to truly know how long the 49ers' gifted but troubled young pass rusher will be away.

NBC Bay Area reports 49ers OLB Aldon Smith is facing three felony weapons charges stemming from an alleged shooting that occurred at Smith's house in June 2012.

When it rains, it pours. The Santa Clara County D.A. has filed three felony charges of possession of assault weapons against Smith. In early September, two civil lawsuits were field against Smith after two guests at one of his house parties were shot. Smith wasn't the shooter, but he's being held responsible since the incident occurred on his property. Smith was stabbed at the same party. Of course, Smith is already on leave from the team after police arrested him for DUI and possession of marijuana September 20. He's currently in rehab.
