Geno Smith out 6-10 weeks with broken jaw after 'sucker punch'

Wasn't a sucker punch. I'm a grown man. If you point your finger in my face in an aggressive manner, please by all means, expect a broken jaw.

And the guy who did the punching was immediately cut, and Javy Arenas immediately signed. Roll Tide

Before everyone freaks out - this isn't Geno Smith on Alabama's team.

I saw this and thought it was our DB Geno Smith. After Sunday (Cam Rob) and Monday (Tony Brown), I just can't take any more of that kind of news.

Thank you! I was about to recommend someone change the thread title to The JETS Geno Smith and NOT Alabama Safety Geno Smith. When I saw the original thread my unbroken jaw dropped.

I got that "Oh, no . . . " feeling.

He isn't an Alabama ex and is in the NFL. Move it to Pro Sports?

Too late, Mack- I freaked just a little bit :biggrin:

You scared the crap out of me, I read Geno Smith and thought the worst. Not nice

At first I couldn't believe it! Still can't in some way. Some people can't help but me emotional. I call it single mother syndrome. Sad though.

But it isn't our Geno Smith. So I'm good.

I agree, but one report made it sound like he walked off for a period of time and then came back and punched him.
All the facts are fuzzy right now IMO.

Geno posted this picture to Instagram after the incident. Doesn't necessarily mean the picture was taken afterwards.

Doesn't look like he was suckered punched.

Also, Alabama's Geno Smith is now Geno Matias-Smith because he wanted to honor his mother.

Thats how real men handle things like that. Gino will think twice before doing that again.

Yeah, if he was putting his finger in his face, well, all bets are off. Still, what started it all?

His coach said it was something 6th graders could have talked out. TIFWIW

Sorry, brah. Hope that punch was worth your career.

Vinny · Aug 11, 2015

Thank god. Gino has been a busy since day 1. There was a reason why he dropped out of the 1st round and Jets management was too stupid to figure it out until it was too late.

From Adam Schefter on Facebook:

Story behind the punch that broke Geno Smith's jaw in two places:

At the heart of the dispute between former Jets LB IK Enemkpali and quarterback Geno Smith is $600 that Enemkpali believed Smith owed him, per league sources. Enemkpali purchased a plane ticket for Smith to attend his July 11 football camp at Pfugerville High School in Pfugerville, Texas. However, days before the camp, a person close to Smith was killed in a motorcycle accident in Miami and Smith did not attend Enemkpali’s camp, per sources. After Smith did not attend, Enemkpali demanded that the Jets’ quarterback refund him the $600 he allegedly used to purchase a plane ticket. Smith told Enemkpali he would reimburse him the money, but he did not. Enkempali confronted Smith today about the money and the confrontation ended in a punch and broken jaw.

crimsonaudio · Aug 11, 2015

Crazy, Smith's contract is worth $5m and Enemkpali's was for $510k - $600 is chump change to either of them.
