Where's your Tommy Time in 2012 banner?

It's been gone for weeks.... Do better, Junior.

Sure, kick a man when he's down......hmmmm sorry, probably not the best saying considering Tommy's current predicament.

Rees, 20, inexplicably ran from police presence, was subsequently slowed by a cab driver (not sure where to start with that aspect of the report) and then scuffled with a police officer. It wasn’t bad judgment, it was a career-changing mistake.
Consider a 20-year-old drinking alcohol off campus on the last day of the school year that is subsequently cited by the police following a noise complaint in a residential neighborhood. Inconsequential.
That was the likely scenario that faced Rees and others when the police told them to stop fleeing the scene. Other stopped, Rees did not.
Prior to what had to be the longest run of his college career, Rees was facing something along the lines of a minor consumption citation and inevitable University, legal, and team-levied slaps on the wrist. The usual rhetoric:
"Don't drink again until you're 21 (wink, in public). Go tell some South Bend area kids not to drink to excess, and definitely not to disrespect authority. Tell the press you're sorry and that you made a mistake. Pick up some trash, stop turning the ball over, run some extra sprints, etc., etc."

This situation isn't funny, but that statement sure is.

Here is the problem I have with the article; (O'Malley not Me2SB) how can I read it when they get the age of the subject wrong. Tommy is ninteen until later this month. This is a small detail, but there are a bunch of small details about this case. Six cops, and an ambush for a noise complaint. A neighbor who says things weren't so bad. Super cabby. >>>>Tommy getting the best of super cabby and a cop????<<<< Pepper spray? When was he sprayed? Where was he dragged, to and from? How do we get the cop and cabby, part of the most dramatic crime fighting duo to put on seminars to help others in the fight for justice? H-E-double hockey sticks, the Fighting Irish offence could use a seminar like that to help build teamwork!

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Here is the cab driver that caught Tommy.

Bob, look at post #628 in this thread. Great minds think alike.

"File Transfer Protocol". This has something to do with the Mysterious "Micro Focus Rumba Terminal Emulation Software", which apparently allows the user to emulate being terminated while doing Latin American dancing. This seems to be coming a viral fad for poorly understood reasons. There are rumors that Tommy and Carlo were not drinking at John Goodman's at all, but merely engaging in overly strenuous rumba dancing and couldn't stop when the police arrived.

This is, of course, my preferred explanation for the fiasco, and I will sleep easier tonight having heard of it ... the level of my gratitude being difficult to quantify.



No information. But see the 1930s musical classic: The Rich Maharajah of Magador.

So was it a real taxi that slowed Tommy Rees, or when the officer uses the term "cab" is he referring to an officer in a patrol car?

[Chamellion]

Word around campus is that Tommy saw that coming (^) and fell to the ground to avoid getting hit.

I cannot stop laughing!

So, get out a hammer, put the hand you don't use the hammer with on a nice sturdy table . . .

 

[Chris P. Bacon]

So Tommy's court date was yesterday 5/14/12, has there been any updates on what the court ruling was, I've looked online but have found nothing?

 

[NDBoiler]

I thought I read that the court date was 5/17? I imagine if it was yesterday, this thread would've blown up already.

 

[NDdomer2]

Court date set for Notre Dame's Tommy Rees

Boiler is right, it is the 17th.

 

[Chris P. Bacon]

Oh ok, thanks guys, I guess they figured they would give Tommy a few days off to go party prior to his court date, with classes being out.

@MaloneMK:

Carlo Calabrese charged with one count of Intimidation, a misdemeanor. Prosecutors allege he said "my people will get you" to SB officer.

Both Calabrese and Tommy Rees are scheduled to appear in court tomorrow (Thurs) at 8 a.m. related to May 3 incident.

Charging docs: "Calabrese then asked if Officer Finley was a Notre Dame football fan, to which Officer Finley responded it was irrelevant."

docs: "Calabrese stated it was relevant & that Officer Finley did not like ND football by how Finley was acting toward him & his teammates."

@MaloneMK:

interesting.. seems like an odd thing for him to say "my people will get you."

but I guess I could see him, or any D-1 athlete, saying something like "do you like "so & so" football?"

with a good lawyer he should get that charge dropped and maybe do 100 hours of community service or something.. his first offense (is it?) is a he-said-she-said misdemeanor.. might even get thrown out

100 hours of CS for that... I dont see it, maybe 30-45 hours.

Only if the judge wants to be "swimming wit da fishes..."

@MaloneMK:

Just sounds like a bad movie script.

 

[DSully1995]

Two seasons of being backup QB seems fair

He'll make him an offer he can't refuse.
