Thread: Montee Ball, former Broncos running back, gets 60 days in jail for two domestic violence incidents

Troubled running back Montee Ball’s penalty for a pair of domestic violence incidents: A whopping 60 days in jail.

On Friday, according to TMZ, Ball was slapped with two 30-day jail sentences as punishment for for a pair of incidents: In February, shortly before the Super Bowl, the ex-Broncos running back allegedly hurled his then-girlfriend through a table in a hotel, and one month later, he was involved in an incident with another woman.

But Ball, 25, reportedly cut a plea deal with prosecutors, pleading guilty to two counts of disorderly conduct and one count of battery to draw his jail sentence. He will also serve 18 months of probation. His jail sentence reportedly permits work-release privileges, so he can work during the day although he must return to jail at night.

Utterly and completely washed up personally and professionally by 25. Nice work Montee.

Hopefully he gets his life back on track. At 25 he still has time to get back on track no matter what some people might think.

Tre Mason, phone home.

He may need to receive a talk from Brandon Marshall (the WR).

I've wondered if he has suffered from head trauma.

Cases like this are why I think people grossly overuse the term "bust". THIS guy is a bust in every sense of the word. Much more so than someone who simply didn't live up to their draft pick.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I was just goign to make the thread

It was that fumble at the goal line that created the downward spiral for him

I wish all domestic violence cases attracted at jail term.

It clearly started when he got the crap beat out of him off the field before his senior season at Wisconsin. He was clearly alright enough to keep playing and convince the Broncos he was healthy enough to compete but it may be that one well-placed crack to the head sent his life spinning out of control. I don't hate the guy. I was rooting for him. By all accounts, he was a high-character guy at Wisconsin before his altercation where he was repeatedly kicked in the head and beaten after he had fallen to the ground on a sidewalk away from campus.

People can change and get help. Maybe his NFL days are over, but he might be able to play professional football elsewhere. Maybe his professional football days are over, but he can fix his life as well.

I'm sure that's the biggest struggle for athletes. You're identity from the time you were a kid has been as a football player. From middle school, to high school, to college, and sometimes the pros. I think a lot of these players have a hard to finding out who they when they're no longer the football player.

Apparently I missed this! My favorite Broncos RB apparently is going to do a lot more time, and he's not even out of jail yet.

EX-NFL RB MONTEE BALL PLEADS GUILTY IN WISCONSIN BAR INCIDENT

Ex-NFL running back Montee Ball has plead guilty to charges stemming from an April incident in which he got boozed up at a Wisconsin bar and then resisted arrest when cops tried to take him into custody. Remember, Ball was out on bail back in April from his domestic violence case (he attacked an ex-GF in 2014) and one of the terms was to NOT booze or be in a place where they serve booze.

When cops found him at the 841 Brewhouse bar on April 9th -- they tried to take him into custody and he resisted. Now, we've learned Ball struck a deal with prosecutors in which he plead guilty to 2 counts of "bail jumping" and one count of resisting arrest ... all misdemeanors. So, what does it mean for Ball? He could face up to 9 months in jail for each count -- sentencing is scheduled for December.

By the way, 25-year-old Ball -- the Broncos 2nd round pick in 2013 -- is still in custody in Wisconsin after being convicted in TWO domestic violence cases.
