    that's an allegation. Not proof. Very difficult to meet the burden of proof beyond doubt that Hunter's punch was responsible for the damage. And then there is the whole issue of provocation and/or mitigating circumstances.

    My point is not to defend Hunter, but demonstrate that it would be a very difficult thing to prove. All parties would be best suited to reach a reasonable settlement which I'm sure is occurring right now.

    As far as the league is concerned, same issue unless there is a video record of the incident. Hunter has been squeaky clean thus far (IIRC) so they would be hard pressed to justify a severe penalty. I don't think they'd give a first time offender more than 2 games at most for being involved in a bar room fight if there was not a legal conviction.

    More than anything this proves to me that Hunter is less concerned with becoming an all time great NFL WR than he is keeping up his rep and sucker punching people at a bar.

    That is one of the reasons people with talent bust. Best case scenario is this being a wake up call.. but how often do we see that fail?

    Wife: What's felonious assault?
    Me: That's when you assault someone's felonious.

    Cut him loose. Even before this he hadn't done enough to warrant taking a roster spot. BTW, who else is a little frustrated seeing Washington in a Texans uniform? Nice going Rustin. You better hope somebody steps up, or our new QB will be throwing darts to the other team.

    I think the response to that would have been "who is that and who are they?"
