If he isn't grateful towards Cincinnati for drafting him in the 2nd round, then he doesn't quite get it IMO. He MUST stay classy for this very reason. He can't go pulling a Dillon/Palmer.

Also, if any other team had drafted him, I would feel the same about that team.. He should be gracious to whatever team drafted him after his massive mistake.

I think people make too much of his mistake. While I don't think it's right to hit a woman, this isn't the normal circumstance we see with NFL football players. The woman he hit cussed him, spit on him, called him the n word, pushed him, and tried to choke him before he struck her. There's video that shows all of it. He didn't just beat a woman. Again, I personally do not think it's okay to hit a woman, but lets not act as if she is innocent in this situation.

I just don't see this as some horrible offense that was going to keep him out of the League. He accepted it, apologized, and didn't hide from it. He WAS going to be drafted by someone. So no, if Mike Brown keeps being the piece of shit he is, I will not blame Mixon for pulling a Pickens, Dillon, Palmer, Johnson, or anything like that.
