The Post needed this since they were getting tired of publishing their every-other-day story about how much the Jets will suck this year.

It is getting increasingly difficult for a professional athlete to go out for an evening. There always seems to be no lack of people who are willing to provoke a confrontation for money or notoriety. Couple this with a young man (the athlete) having a lot of money, and blowing off steam and there is a potential problem. You have to think back to the days of Namath where he was out every night. I'm sure there were some unreported confrontations but pretty much he was left to do his thing. I really only remember one confrontation where Namath left training camp and got into a confrontation with a reporter in the early morning hours. Reporters kept a lid on all this shit back then, hell they drank with the players. Back then no one gave a shit about anyone's personal life.

Lorenzo Mauldin ‘shocked’ by suit filed against himlinkFLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Lorenzo Mauldin said Tuesday that he’s stunned by the lawsuit filed against him, but the Jets linebacker had little else to say about the alleged assault. “Of course I was shocked,” Mauldin said when asked about being sued by a man who claims he was severely beaten by the 2015 draft pick inside a Manhattan nightclub in April. “But everything that’s going on right now, it’s pending. And we don’t know what the outcome is going to be. You guys can just refer to my attorney if you have any questions.” The plaintiff, 22-year-old Jean Lopez, alleges he was beaten up by Mauldin and another man, Reginald Cook, and as a result, was “rendered sick, sore, lame and disabled, was seriously and permanently injured, has suffered injuries both internal and external, pain and mental anguish,” according to the lawsuit, which was obtained by Newsday. Lopez’s lawyer, Glenn Race, told the New York Post that his client was leaving the nightclub when he was hit in the face by the 6-4, 259-pound Mauldin and suffered “multiple maxillofacial fractures” and needed “numerous plates” installed to repair the damage. Jets Jets’ Mauldin being sued for alleged assault In a phone interview with Newsday on Sunday evening, Mauldin’s defense attorney, Mitchell Schuster, dismissed the suit outright. “Alleged is a good word because Lorenzo did not strike the plaintiff. It’s without merit,” Schuster said. “And we believe that once the plaintiff speaks with the witnesses involved and discovery is conducted, this frivolous case will end against Lorenzo because it’s really without merit. “There’s no doubt that someone hit the plaintiff. Lorenzo saw someone else hit the plaintiff. It wasn’t him.” Before participating on Tuesday in the first of three mandatory minicamp practices, Mauldin was asked if he was innocent of the allegations. “Again, what he said is the thing that’s being said right now,” Mauldin said, referring to his lawyer. “So I can’t really say too much about it. Again, it’s pending. I can’t really talk too much about it.” Lopez reportedly told police that he was “punched twice — once in the eye, and once in the jaw — during the incident, which took place around 2:30 a.m. on April 2.” According to the report, however, Lopez couldn’t identify his attacker when he filed a complaint at the 10th Precinct.

Mauldin turned himself into the police today so evidently this story has some truth to it.

Mauldin turned himself into the police today so evidently this story has some truth to it. I'd like to see what evidence there is other than the victim saying it was Mauldin. Turning himself in doesn't mean squat other then he was told the DA was gonna press charges. What was he supposed to do....flee to Mexico?

Turning himself in doesn't mean squat other then he was told the DA was gonna press charges. What was he supposed to do....flee to Mexico? It's not based on the victims account (Vic said he didn't see who hit him). It's based on multiple eye witnesses. Jets are good at beating up pip squeaks, bad at playing football against other grown men.

looks like the Jets may lead the league in another outrageous category ... to start the season, the number of suspended players.

There may not be any evidence and nothing may ultimately come of it. But he's still been arrested for assault

My feelings are that mauldin did not hit the guy. Bottom line, if mauldin was the type of guy who would be angry enough to hit a guy, he'd be a much better LB on the field. He lacks the bullying, killer instinct gene. In other words, he's no LT, Ray Lewis, Jack Lambert, Dick Butkis, Vontaze Berfict, etc.. all of whom would cold cock an offending stranger when they were mauldins age.
PS. If guilty, the Jets need to figure out a way to have opposing QBs spill mauldins drink before the game.

Mauldin should get off easy on this. All he has to do is show his 2016 game films as evidence and the Judge will realize he couldn't possibly have hit anyone.
