Assuming that this is the first time he's been in trouble, then no, I do not think he should be suspended for any games.

I'd get mad too... and it's not just "circling the lot" for 2 minutes...at Cleveland Hopkins you gotta go around all crazy style...back like by 237 and get off back at the airpot.
Or....you could simply pull off onto the shoulder of the road on the 237 entrance ramp, have whomever you're picking up call you when they're 2 minutes from baggage claim, and pick them up without waiting in the pick-up area.

"Sir, you need to remove your car. That is a restricted area"
"I know, reserved for me. Screw you, I am Leigh Bodden"
Makes me wonder about this egg head.
At least he didn't sprain his ankle in the scuffle.

I'm afraid that Bodden has a case of "I'm a professional athlete and that makes be special" syndrome..
RAC or someone,, give this kid a swift kick in the rear. He needs a serious Wake up call! Before he does something really serious.

He definitely needs his butt knocked down a notch or three.... but at the same time, I can't really blame him... picking people up at the airport royally sucks.
Of course, he could have done like most people and parked in short-term parking, then met his girlfriend at the gate, walked with her to baggage claim, then help her carry her stuff to the car.
I'm sure there are discussions this morning between our front office and Goodell's about who, if anyone, is going to hand out a suspension and for how long. I doubt there would be an absense of communication there and a chance of a double suspension over a misdemeanor.

I see a home-opener suspension looming.
While I'm not necessarily doing cartwheels over this, I hope it's only 1 game...because Chad Johnson is a mere 10 days away.

i'm not jumping on Bodden just yet...'resisting arrest' is all over the place...sometimes it is what it is, sometimes it's b/c the police have nothing else, so they push and push until they get some sort of negative reaction... CPD..."sir, please move your car out of this zone" LB..."ok" [backs up] CPD..."stop the car, now, sir. you cannot back up in this area" LB..."i'm just getting out of the zone like you told me...i'm picking up my people" CPD..."if you don't move along, i'm going to have to place you under arrest" LB..."are you kidding me?" CPD...[calls for backup  ]"step out of the car" LB..."no" CPD..."you're under arrest for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest"  now, this could be all on Bodden, but i've seen this sort of thing too many times before to jump to that conclusion...

After hearing the report on the radio this morning, that is kinda how I'm taking it.... I have no doubt that at least a portion of the fault lies with him, but it is a REALLY petty offense that is likely getting blown out of proportion.

It may be petty, but you just can't do that kind of stuff at airports anymore. There is ZERO tolerance, right or wrong. I've seen this type of altercation many, many times - and seen people arrested for it. Use your head! Park somewhere and wait for a phone call; park in short term and meet the person inside; drive back around.
And to those saying the cops are in the wrong, try watching what they have to put up with when on airport duty. Bodden was driving his car in the wrong freaking direction at an airport pickup area - pretty suspicious stuff with all of the terror alerts out there. I'm not saying it makes a bit of difference what they are doing as far as stopping terrorism goes, as it is totally a false sense of security, but at least they are trying.
Bodden just needs to USE HIS HEAD!

DNA, that's an interesting scenario, and I hope that's the way it went down.
However, he got out of the car. Everybody in the world who has ever picked someone up out of the airport KNOWS you can't leave your car on the curb. Actually, this has been going on even before terrorist threats. I am sure Bodden has picked someone up from the airport before.
Actually, come to think of it, the only excuse Bodden can have is if he has never been to an airport to pick someone up.
The police may have been over aggressive, but my money is this is all on Bodden.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

What a moron. I cannot believe how many people do not take seriously that you cannot sit in the pickup/dropoff area at an airport anymore. I travel often for work, and see this situation occur all of the time. How hard is it to loop back around and get the person you are looking for 2 minutes later?
When a cop asks you to move at an airport, you do it. They are not in the mood to mess around in that situation.
At the Fort Myers airport they have what they call a "cell phone lot", it's less than a minute drive from the pick up point where you can sit and wait for a call from the person your picking up, then drive up and get them.
We don't have to agree with each other, to respect each others opinion.

Personally, I dont think he should be suspended a game, but Romeo may think differently.
Bodden hasn't had any trouble from what I've known, and this type of stuff can happen to anyone. I've taken chances before by running lights, making illegal turns, and parking where you aren't suppose to. And if you're having a bad day, a cop could really you off. lol..
He gets a pass IMO, but any other trouble, he's going to have to be repremanded..

In this day and age, just about everyone has a cell phone right?
Well, when I pick someone up at the airport, I give them my cell number, when they get thier bags, I ask them to come out side, look at the exit number above the door they came out, then call me and I'll be right around to pick them up. This works very well at Hopkins.
I go down the road a bit, then turn off the Snow road exit. I go under the road that leads to Berea, and come up the entrance ramp again. There on the side of the road are cars.. There are always cars parked there waiting for "that call".. it's just a 1 or 2 minute ride to outside the baggage claim area..
It's hardly difficult to do this. So if Bodden wasn't so dam loaded with self importance, he could do what us mere mortals are required to do..
It's no big deal really! Unless his head is too big to realize he's no more important than I am!

Fine,,, that's cool,, But when the cop says move it,, you either move it or you don't. if you don't, you go to jail.. When a cop says move it, I move it! It's not personal, they have a job to do.. Bodden seems to have taken it personal,,
Now that's just freakin dumb! Don't you think?

yea.. he could have avoided the trouble and just moved, but i mean you never know the circumstances on Boddens part...
not making excuses for him by any means, he was wrong, but some people think that parking is not that serious, and you can let me get by just for this one time... the party he was picking up may have been right at the door, and had lots of luggage to carry.. i dont know. lol..

I'm giving Bodden the benefit of the doubt here. I'm willing to bet it went something along the lines of that. Bodden doesn't strike me as that self centered, me-type of player. Airports are always insane. Airport cops deal with crap from people all day. By the end of the day they are on a short fuse, and just cut out the BS and put the person under arrest.
You know who I blame. I blame Al Queda!

If you are saying that I wasn't there so I don't know all the details,, yeah, you are right I wasn't and I don't.. But for cryin out loud,, If the cop says MOVE the car and you have circumstances you can't control,, take a moment and explain them in a professional manner,,,
According to the reports (again, this is coming from the Media, and you all know what I think of the media) he got into at least a shouting match with the cop..
You can call it what you want, but I believe that's JUST FREAKING DUMB.....

that was tongue-in-cheek, RISH...i don't think it went down in that way...i'm just trying to say that, with the history of the way cops behave, i'm not just gonna take their word for it and say let's suspend Bodden... and (not to you RISH) please spare me the 'in this day and age, cops have to worry about terrorists, blah, blah'...these are capable human beings...if they can't distinguish a mouthy guy at the pick-up area from a terrorist threat, we might as well concede the war on terror right now...

This is a little off topic, but DNA,,, read the papers, watch TV, terrorists come in all different shapes, sizes, colors and general manner of appearance. Just a thought however...

Apparently he's pleading not guilty. Maybe this isn;t a case of an athlete acting like a superstar and simply a guy who feels he was wronged by the cops.

Just clicking - update:
Browns cornerback Leigh Bodden had an attorney enter not guilty pleas today in Cleveland Municipal Court to charges of resisting arrest, failure to comply and a traffic ticket.
Cleveland police arrested Browns cornerback Leigh Bodden at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport on Wednesday for arguing with officers and resisting arrest in the arrivals area.
His playing status for Sunday's season opener is uncertain.
Attorney Matt Selby told Judge Marilyn B. Cassidy that Bodden was available if needed.
Bodden posted a $1,000 bond was released at 1:05 a.m. today after spending about five hours in jail.
Selby said Bodden did not receive special treatment. "You don't have to be a Brown" to get out of jail in five hours, he said.
Selby said he plans to hold a press conference later today because Bodden wants to "give his side of the story and clear his name."

Maybe,,, but they always plead not guilty... so who knows..
I hope that it turns out that Bodden didn't do this and that the cop in question is at fault... But one thing I know for sure, it takes two to tango,,,

So maybe we all jump to conclusions, you mean we didnt wait for the facts to come out and we pre judged him based on him being a sports star....We spoke up and convicted him before we knew the story or all the facts....Common not on here...he's as guilty as Butch Davis is a talent scout

It's no big deal really! Unless his head is too big to realize he's no more important than I am! Of course he is. Unless you can cover Hines Ward.  And let's leave the media out of this one, shall we? I hardly see how even you can blame them for reporting that he got arrested.

He was wrong, plain and simple. Maybe the resisting arrest stuff is being overblown, I have no idea since I wasn't there or have heard what really happened. The rules are pretty clear and are pretty strict for airports for good reason.
If the resisting arrest charge doesn't get dropped he should get suspended. I don't care about Porter getting into a fight, I do care if Bodden had an altercation with a cop. They are the authorities and the NFL can't have their players disrespecting them.

I look at it this way....Would your workplace suspend you if you'd never been in trouble before, hadn't missed a day of work because of this incidence, and had not yet been convicted of a thing? Especially if the charge was only a misdemeanor if you were to be convicted?
I think not. So why should he be any different? Because he makes 10 times what you do?

I don't think he should get suspended because of personal reasons. I feel the way the NFL has been cracking down the resisting arrest charge should carry more weight. If that is pleaded down or he is found not guilty I don't think he should be suspended at all.

I don't think the guy should get suspended...at least based on this limited information.
I do think it shows the guy is a bit of a dunce.
I doubt he pulled his car up, a cop walked over and wanted to cuff him.
Somewhere in all of this Bodden could have said he would "just be a second", the cop would say "too bad, move the car".
Bodden could have got a ticked off look on his face and moved the car like the rest of us, then drove around the ramp a few times until he found a spot to stop, and went on with his life......but....he chose another course.

Man, earlier I said this was the result of overzealous cops and people jumped all over me, I said it in differing words, but the point still stands.
I KNOW from experience how Ctown cops can be overzealous punks, and I know some personally---and some, they are good guys. But odds are, if they don't know you--then they are going to come acrossed as overbearing jackasses.
Just one example of Ctown cops being idiots.
I'm on my way home from a concert with my older cousin. I'm 14, my cousins 22. We gete lost on a detour, we end up in a bad part of town--my cousin sees a squad car on the side of the road and decides to ask the cops how to get back to the highway.
Next thing you know they have my cousin on the ground, and me out of the car telling me I'm out buying crack. Every time I tell them I'm on my way home from a concert, they tell me I'm full of it, and ask me where the crack is---they tell me I'm going to jail, they hassled us for a good hour there on the side of the road, all we did is ASK how to get out of a bad neighborhood.
They finally searched both of us, searched the car and then left without an apology or giving us directions. That is the CPD---they can be jerks. Huge freaking jerks.
I wish to wash my Irish wristwatch......

Bodden apologizes, plans to play Zac Jackson, Staff Writer 09.06.2007 http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/article.php?id=7247Leigh Bodden said he apologized to his coaches and teammates Thursday morning for any distractions his Wednesday night arrest may have caused, but Bodden said he's focused on football and plans to be in the starting lineup Sunday when the Browns open the season against the Steelers. According to reports, Bodden was arrested at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport on two traffic charges and two misdemeanors, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, after a verbal confrontation with police officers. He pleaded not guilty Thursday morning in Cleveland Municipal Court, and a court date was set for later this month. "There are two sides to every story," Bodden said. "I can't comment on my side of the story. My attorney is going to handle that. It's unfortunate that it's a distraction before the Steelers game. "We're just trying to get past that and get ready for Pittsburgh. My focus is on the game. That's all I want to do and that's all I'm going to do." Thursday morning, Browns coach Romeo Crennel said he had not yet spoken to Bodden but expected to have him available for Thursday's practice and Sunday's game. "I'd rather talk to him face to face," Crennel said. "I understand it's a minor traffic incident. I'm going to wait until I talk to him to find out. "We'll see how it plays out. It's in the court system. He's pleaded not guilty and a court date has been set. "In the meantime, we're going to try to beat Pittsburgh." Under the NFL's new, stricter rules regarding player conduct, it's possible Bodden could face sanctions from the league. Crennel said the Browns would follow policy and report the incident to the league, but said he didn't expect to hear anything back. "I'm not concerned about (a possible suspension) at all," Bodden said. "The legal system will handle it. The league will handle it. All I can do is play football." The arrest surprised many around the Browns who know Bodden as a quiet, well-mannered and well-liked person. "When something like that occurs with such an easy-going guy, there may be more to it," Crennel said. "It was very shocking," team captain Andra Davis said. "The Leigh Bodden I know is a great guy. I never envision him being belligerent to anyone. He's one of the standup guys around here. He's one of the best guys on this team ability-wise and everybody knows how humble he is."
