This thread was about his behavior and I'm not getting it.  You somehow think this forum is the court of law and we must obey courtroom rules.  It isn't, and we don't.

But a fair number of things you say he didn't do he's done and they've been shown here.

Just leave it at you don't like his behavior and move on.  A lot in here don't like his behavior.  His own coach said he needs to work on his public persona.  But i guess Marvin is lying about PAC too.

Bingo. McC's post also nailed it. Just the fact that he's out and about getting arrested and winding up in yet another embarrassing situation would be enough to get a person of his reputation cut from most teams. Just to sum up his last few years:

1. Struck a woman (caught on video)
2. Lost his composure in 2 straight playoff games
3. Kicked out of a local casino (caught on video)
4. Slammed Amari Cooper's helmet into the turf repeatedly
5. Went on numerous embarrassing social media tirades
6. Embarrassing arrest where he wished death on a cop (caught on video)

What else do we need to see?

Considering his past, I think it's safe to say that (1) not many teams would've taken the risk on him in the first place, and (2) the teams that would take the risk would've put him on a short leash. Any of the videos I posted may have been enough to get him cut. Certainly all of the incidents combined are more than enough to consider it.

You act like we as fans (or the team itself) should wait and see how this plays out in court. Why? The charges against Ray Rice were dropped, but he was still cut. That goes for a lot of players that get released over off-field conduct. The NFL has stricter standards for conduct than the court system. The standards are usually even more strict when a player such as Pacman starts to develop a (lengthy) history.

So to sum it up, my questions to you are:

1. Why do you think we need to see more evidence than the video and the arrest itself (which is damning enough), considering Pacman's history...even with just the Bengals? Keep in mind that the NFL isn't a court of law.

2. You seem to also think Pacman deserves a clean slate and benefit of the doubt for each occurrence. Why? Again, not court of law, and even the courts often consider history.
