Kelly the Dog Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 If this idiot loses his cool because some girl called him a name, he has no chance against opposing defenders looking to rip his head off. He's going to be punching out a time clock.
John from Riverside Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 The other thing that I think when i see this stuff is the family of the football player...... I dont know the answer to this....but is this one of those kids that the family sacrificed a ton so that their son would have the opportunity to get a first rate education (and possibly play in the NFL) only to have something like this happen and have all if THEIR hard work go down the drain? These kids do not do this on their own.....they have help along the way from family and friends to get them there. There are a lot of kids that would love to be in his position.......who never got the chance for one reason or another........that scholarship he got was just wasted on a kid that WOULD have walked away. What a waste.
BuffaloFan68 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 My father boxed for a while and so did I when young. He taught me that unless you're in the ring or cornered, you never hit anyone. Use your brain & leave. The only exception is when you help someone in trouble.

H2o Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 This is playing right into Everett Golson's hands. I was thinking to myself "wtf?" when he transferred there from ND. Now he's probably going to end up running that offense or at least get his shot in a couple of games imo.

This thug is a freshman so I don't think this event has much impact on the 2015 season.

I was just talking about the overall competition he was facing in general at the QB spot there and now it is thinning out by incidents as such. Stranger things have happened than a Senior transfer to not end up being the starter on a team.

Stranger things have happened than a Senior transfer to not end up being the starter on a team.i am not well informed of the QB situation there so anyone who is can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming it can't be too stacked if they needed Golson and he's already considered the starter without a competition. So if he gets injured, or they are blowing out some inferior team and they sit the starters, I would think this kid would have had a chance to play unless Jimbo was intent to RS him no matter what.

This kid deandre while talented is just a freshman
YoloinOhio Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Golson became the starter the second the transfer was official. This kid deandre while talented is just a freshmanThey only had these two guys? There has to be more in the pipeline than that?

This kid deandre while talented is just a freshman For the life of me I can not remember What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise For the life of me I can not believe we'd ever die For these sins We were merely freshmen We were merely freshmen We were only freshmen
KD in CA Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 They only had these two guys? There has to be more in the pipeline than that? Yes, there's another upperclassman who was going to start and is now the backup.
GG Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Don't know if people watched the same video that I saw, but to me it was clear that she was the instigator. He was trying to get to the bar through a crowd, she didn't appreciate him trying to squeeze through. She then takes another step to the left ensuring more intentional contact with him, cocks her hand (she was certainly not pointing to the bartender, because there was no bartender at that spot), after he grabs her wrist she tries to kick him and then throws a punch. Her entire demeanor and body actions were confrontational. Should he have exercised more self-control? Absolutely. No reason to throw a punch. But let's not pretend that he wasn't provoked not just by some sassy language.
YoloinOhio Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Yes, there's another upperclassman who was going to start and is now the backup.So they only have two total QBs now? No RS guys? That's nuts. Edit: I checked the roster and they have 5 other QBs plus Golson who isn't listed on their roster for some reason. That makes more sense. Edited July 7, 2015 by YoloinOhio

Trotting out the Verve Pipe. I haven't from them since (or before for that matter) that song came out.
purple haze Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Both were in the wrong. She threw a punch. Because a female threw the punch doesn't exempt her from consequences. At the same time, one would hope he could walk away, get a bouncer to handle her, etc. in either instance it would take maturity. He's what? 18? And drinking. Alcohol and its effects play a large part in this as well. The manager of the bar needs to explain why underaged people are in the bar in the first place. Yes, he's wrong. I have no problem w/ him getting consequences. However, we don't need to present her as blameless. She is also wrong for swinging on him. Everybody should keep their hands down. A punch, slap, kick will usually lead to one in return. Not every guy has the maturity, foresight or worse, the desire to walk away. A woman should never think she can be physical in anger w/a guy because he's not supposed to react. The racial potential? Who knows what's real at this point, but I can tell those who ask "because she called him a name it justifies..?" My friend, It's beyond being called a name. From multiple personal experiences, when someone calls you a !@#$ the anger goes from 1 to 1 million immediately. It's like someone coughed up every bit of sickness in their lungs and spit in your face. And one's reaction to it isn't always the most well considered in the moment.

The girl swung first. He isn't saying nothing should happen to DeAndre, just that they are both at fault

Always best to not say anything but his opinion is valid that both parties were wrong in how they handled the situation and both should face consequences.

Is this the kind of society we are promoting? Don't say anything, even though you're providing a perfectly sound opinion?
