Michael Boley will serve a one game suspension at the start of the season.
Once we get past the shock of a new player already getting a suspension, in the grand scheme of things this does not have to be anything that affects the team greatly. For starters, it happened over a year ago when Boley was a Falcon. Second, Boley is in rehab after hip surgery and will not be effective at that (early, W1) juncture anyway.
In a larger sense, you simply cannot ignore all of this reprehensible conduct. We are reminded of the George Young quote which seems to accurately sum up football players: “We are not in the business of well-adjusted human beings.” Be it Burress, Stallworth, Vick, McNair, Leaf, Ingram, Boley… the list never ends. In fact, there is one site that has a regular PARADE of players on the police blotter. So we’ll casually dismiss the Boley battery in Giants terms, but we can never ever dismiss it in human terms.
