[Pelissero] The #Commanders disciplined multiple players after social media videos showed them drinking on the flight back from Monday night’s win in Philadelphia, per sources. Ron Rivera reached out to the league Tuesday morning and addressed it in a team meeting. No NFL discipline coming.
Lmao why does it make sense that the Commanders would catch strays from this Titans backlash?
Commanders catch strays from everything tbh
They're doing everything they can to get everybody but Snyder in trouble. Next week Jay Gruden is going to find flaming shit on his doorstep courtesy of Roger
I don't think it was. McAfee had Heinicke on earlier this week and Pat mentioned that some one told him the pic of Heinicke with the beer was noticed and potentially going to get people in trouble so it seems like something was going to happen before this.
Dan. Snyder.
Same reason Gruden caught strays from the Washington investigation
Existence is pain
Because it’s against the rules
Ron Rivera got FOMO
They probably were punished because it was Busch Light, not because it was alcohol. Rofl
Damn they’re really gonna take away the Jordans they bought to celebrate?
They all got fined 3 dollars for next week's drinking money it's all good most likely
Their punishment? Carson Wentz to start next week.
Clear violation of the 8th amendment’s restriction on cruel and unusual punishment
Little harsh don't you think?
You spelled John Beck wrong
Fuck Carson Wentz- Jim Irsay
Looks like I'm getting win #2 this season. Maybe. Probably not. Sigh.
Now that is just going too far.
If only they did high knees on the way back instead. Amateurs
Danger Russ still out here catching strays.
Man just let them celebrate they dont get to do it often
Also feels odd since I watched 27 alcohol advertisements last weekend during the games….
Unfortunately some stupid ass OC got shitfaced on a team plane and drove home.
This is just a one time thing for the PR after the titans incident
Did it 4x the last 5 weeks though.
Professional athletes aren’t allowed alcohol on the planes because of situations like the plane ride from hell i’d imagine
Right?! A bunch of adults drinking? That’s punishable? Wtf?!
Then you risk a situation like Andy Reid son
This guy just gonna shit on a team participating in the winningest division in football!
This is silly. The issue isn't drinking on a plane ride home. As long as they're not driving intoxicated from the airport to their homes, I see no issue at all. No fun league at it again.
I doubt they really care and are undoubtedly aware that it happens all the time. What they care about is having a policy to waive around in the event that q public incident occurs like this one.
It’s a liability thing, they don’t want another Britt Reid Drunken Crash leaving work thing happening again
One of the players should just take the piss in the next press confrence "my owner might be a rapist and definitely facilitated the sexual assault of multiple team employees, then evaded a congressional supeona for several months - You want to talk about a fucking beer? "
The issue is they have to make an example bc of the dumbass titans coach
It’s a PR policy.
To be fair, what are the odds they actually take an Uber or something home from the airport. We’ve clearly seen that NFL players can’t be trusted there on a sadly regular basis. NFL has to cover their ass with the policy but would have looked the other way if not for the Titans coach.
It's a matter of liability. Insurance won't cover incidents that occur when players are drunk and behaving stupidly like getting into fights or causing accidents on flight
Don't they do champagne celebrations after playoff wins? I am supposed to o think they are getting non-alcoholic Dom?
Wait…is this an issue? I just assumed these guys would have a couple on the flight home.
If I had to guess it's very very common but the commanders had the bad luck of publically doing it a few days before an OC decided to drive home drunk at a high speed
Yeah the problem is someone appeared to have a bunch.
I think it's because the thinking is once the plane lands players have to drive home...so if they're drinking too much they run the risk of a DUI...
What for like the whole 20 minutes that the plane was in the air?
Well I mean, OKC to Dallas is a 30-40 minute flight and a 3 hour drive.
Honestly, the logistics of flying such a short distance is so weird. How much time are you saving? An hour, maybe?
Half hour flight is what I read.
I hope it was shots. Could you even drink a beer on a Philly to DC flight?
Bro had a trash bag of Busch lol
Wade Boggs did it, RIP
1 hour flight, good for at least a 6er
It was Busch Lights, you can see them in the video
Bet i could pound at least five or six. A lineman or someone heavier could crush me in that too.
Quickly
Would you even have time to finish a beer on a flight from Philly to DC?
I don’t really have a problem with the players celebrating after a huge win. They played well, we didn’t, I would have expected our players to do the same and cut loose with some brews if we made 9-0.
Just happens to be shown publicly right before the Titans OC was arrested for DUI after the game on Thursday.
I would expect it after a tough loss too. Who doesn’t want a drink after a tough work day , especially when your body is pulverized .
Why can’t they drink? Were they the ones flying the plane?
Lol, the league has to pretend like they care now after whatshisface's dui. This wouldn't have drawn a peep from them otherwise, and didn't for days.
Reports are that Taylor Heinecke's punishment was he had to sit in a dimly lit room while Ron Rivera jeered at him for 15 minutes
I am starting Heinecke this week in fantasy solely because he was slamming Busch lights
You already won your point per frat league
The players were issued a stern warning NOT to photograph such situations moving forward.
[удалено]
Your comma placement makes my brain hurt.
It's a liability thing. If you supply booze on a plane and one of your employees drives drunk and hurts/kills someone they open themselves up to all sorts of lawsuits.
[удалено]
No Fun League.
I’m sorry, I thought this was America
You can commit securities fraud and sexually assault female subordinates but how dare you have a good time following a hard fought win
This is ridiculous
The NFL really is the fun police.
WHAT?! They were drinking ALCOHOL?!!
you aren't allowed to drink on the plane? i promise the execs do
Because it wasn't Bud Light
What would be the penalty if they forced the cheerleaders to get naked and secretly photographed them and then circulated those photos to friends?
“And we know the Commanders have zero issue with human trafficking”
What a shitty, wasteful flight. It's a 2 hour bus ride from Lincoln Financial Field to FedEx Field right now. It's even faster that late at night.
Reject nature, embrace pollution.
They probably lease the plane, and the cost of a back and forth is nothing compared to the monthly rental on the plane itself.
Do you not remember the bullshit that the Nationals dealt with when they had Soto fly commercial (first class!) to the all star game? Not to defend Snyder, but if they would have rented busses instead of the plane, the team would have been roasted. “What is this, a D2 college team?”
Agreement that it's a wasteful flight.
Considering it's basically a sports ritual now: decorating the locker room in plastic to protect everything from champagne to the point that players even wear goggles to protect their eyes from the spray. But sure, drinking on a private flight is wrong lol
No Fun League
dude what a bitch. I mean look at the titans Offensive coordinator!
Who cares? Is this because of them needing to drive home potentially?
Imagine punishing fully grown men for drinking on a plane after winning a football game.
Ah yes the NFL. Home of teetotalers. That's what I've always heard
Wouldn't want to tarnish their organization's image
THE CULTURE
Florio had a segment about the video, and he was talking about how it may be against the league rules. Fuckin snitch.
Man everyone hates it but this show comes on every morning and is easy to watch. That segment just confirmed why I watch; Florio positing in legal terms why it may not be cool to drink on a team sanctioned flight, and Simms saying “man don’t be a snitch”.
Yea, fuck those guys.
Are grown men not allowed to drink after a huge victory?
Ron Rivera is playing both sides so that he always comes out on top
They aren’t allowed to drink? 🤦🏼♂️
Who cares they’re all adults… But fuck they flew from Philly to DC? Fucking so much pollution for barely any time saved
Probably some weird safety thing.
Is it a team rule not to drink on the plane? I’ve definitely seen videos of Ravens players sipping beers on a post-game flight.
This is the dumbest rule. Avoid DUIs by hiring drivers for the team to and from the airport/stadium. Do a ride share in a Tahoe/Yukon sized vehicle if the team wants to spare a few bucks
I bet the NFL would have been fine if the players were paying concession prices.
Better not see champagne in locker rooms after big wins!!! This is ridiculous
Why does the NFL care if grown ass men are drinking on long flights
I for one am shocked.... That they can't drink on planes.
Stupid
Pffff y’all forgot about Love Boat
*slaps wrists
The NFL and their high moral standards. Just look at Watson.
Taylor heineken put on watch
Man, it's just some dudes having fun on a plane with Busch Light. SMH.
If fucking Snyder was gone we'd be the fun team.
The Kirko chains domino effect
So you gonna advertise it to us, but not let folk drink on their way back, weird
I saw a single can of beer. They weren’t chopping up lines and slamming Don Julio or anything. They’re adults for fucks sake. Most of us here have a beer after work on a normal day let alone a major success.
Washington seems to have a lot of problems with alcohol throughout the years. Stories of players consuming before and during games. Now after the game and on the flight back. Might explain why the franchise is so up and down throughout the years, FO allows booze around the team and doesn't police it.
Beat an undefeated division rival. Please play uno on your way home
There is only one punishment for this sort of behavior: spanking.
I can't believe they seriously can't drink on flights lmao wtf
It’ll be punished the same as a facemask on a turnover lmfao
Those shit refs probably supplied the booze, too. Helped them out one more time after the game. I don't care about either team, but those calls at the end were suspect.
Anyone ever had an ice cold Presidente? Now I want a beer
So DUI's one thing...but players drinking on a flight? Unless they're flying, I don't see the issue. Just make sure everyone gets an Uber or something instead of driving home.
So 1000s of players have probably had beers on the plane and no problem. One assistant gets a DUI and now we have a problem.
The no fun league strikes again. This was completely harmless
How dare those fully grown adults have a good time
Drinking is not allowed?
Hey if there is anything to think of, at least think of this! Sharts
Fucking buzzkill
No fun league
You know what this is really about. Corporate interests. Because everything always comes down to money.
Who fucking cares, they're grown men having a beer after a good day at work. Why does the NFL give a fuck?
Because shit heads like Britt Read make them look bad and open them up to litigation.
The Eagles are so good that beating them is the super bowl for some teams
