Hodges leave of absence until January 26, 2009

[Raw Boned Youngster]

How does the Broncos "strict code of conduct designed to eliminate excessive drinking'" actually work?
I am serious.
I have to admit it sounds impressive.
Maybe that is its purpose.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe that his leave of absence has anything to do with him breaking the drinking code of conduct in anyway. The Broncos are still trying to save face after what happened this season and I believe they would have admitted there was a breach of the code if for no other reason than to show that they are really serious about enforcing it. I'm not going to speculate what has led to this leave, but I don't think the gutter trash reporting has it at all correct. Whatever is going on, I just hope he comes back better for the time off.

In today's Sunday Mail, it says Hodges is suffering depression.

I don't think it's a surprise to anyone that Hodgo is on thin ice after his last season or so.

Does that mean if he gets in trouble his punishment will be, being tossed into freezing cold water or something?

 

[Coxy]

No, he'll have to drive one of those trucks in northern Canada...you know, like Ice Road Truckers...

Ah I see, thanks for the clarification.
