[woolybug25]

Can we all just go to the Kate Upton thread and let her teach us how to Dougie?

What would Kate Upton do?



She would Dougie of course....

 

[Buster Bluth]

I overreacted big time. Went to work and cooled down. Sorry guys. Seriously.

 

[NDhoosier]

I see worse words thrown around all the time on this site, at least worse in my opinion. But I apologize for using such language that offended some of you. However, I felt like two posters in particular where getting way out of line, so Ill take my punishment as long as they get their dues as well.

According to ESPN, "Rees was among about five people who jumped a backyard fence and ran ... when the officer, Brandon Stec, caught up with Rees." So, now we know Officer Stec is a better runner, but can he throw?

I heard he doesnt have the arm strength, but he has a solid fade... If the receiver
makes the play for it.

That is so extraordinarily fantastic.

Pimply weirdos that had no friends and had to join a gang that gave them guns have to love it.

When I went to Tulane the drinking age was 18 in NOLA. This was from '92 - '96. Bars were also open 24 hours a day. Tulane had hardly any on campus parties or house parties. You just went to a bar. I never knew anyone to have problems with the police down there. I also never saw any bar fights or that type of thing with students.

Maybe my experience was unique. However, I think there are a few reasons why it might be: drinking and partying was such a part of that town, being able to drink at a young age takes some of the mystique out of it because you could just finish class and walk to a bar and get a drink, most drinking was contained to bars, and the police in NOLA are world class at crowd control because of Mardi Gras.

Again, maybe my experience was unique and maybe it has changed in the 20 years since then.

The only thing that has changed is the official drinking age, now 21, but in reality nothing has changed. It is a very relaxed atmosphere as long as you don't start causing trouble.

I completely agree with you on the 'wise-***' comments. NDHoosier was also out of line and he got a violation/waring (or whatever they are called) way before Buster did, warning him about a possible banning if he persisted with the personal insults. Buster went over-the-line as well, and persisted with it.

This whole damn thread is an embarrassment to this site if you ask me, but hey, people keep posting on it, so I don't want to 'over-mod' by closing it. Oh well....

Reps! Good moderating on a very difficult thread.

Ok, all Ive heard is does this cop have the ability to run or throw, does it really matter he is 12-4 as a starter. He has made 99% of the correct pre-snap checks and he is simply... a winner.

What a sincere apology...

What a sincere apology...

I'm sorry only if they are punished as well! Maybe!

 

[woolybug25]

If they are punished, I am apologized to, and somebody gets me a smoothie.... then yes... I may feel a morsel of remorse.


where's my smoothie?

 

[NDhoosier]

You guys need to just let it go. Not everything needs your two cents.

 

[tko]

anyone have a guess as to when we'll hear some resolution or direction?

 

[woolybug25]

You guys need to just let it go. Not everything needs your two cents.

What exactly do we have to let go?

I will only let it go if you apologize...


I only offer nickels...

 

[gkIrish]

Guys,

We have a thread to discuss pedophiles now. See you over there.

Sincerely,

gkIrish

Nor yours.

Was reading some of the earlier posts about good and the bad in every profession.

I don't know of many other professions where the bad can wield so much power. At a house party I saw a kid get pushed by one cop into another cop, who promptly tased him, and most likely that kid got charged with assaulting a police officer.

I've also had cops help a friend who was badly beaten in a mugging.

The good are good, but the bad end up the worst, because of the absolute power they can exercise over ordinary citizens. There is a difference between maintaining caution when dealing with a situation (any of which could turn dangerous if you're a cop), and being brutal.

However, Tommy misjudged here. I wonder if he fell to the ground before the officer tackled him.

I actually think that a small % of guys go into that profession, especially in small towns, because they are in love with the idea of having that authority over ordinary citizens and once they have it, they love to use it.

It is a small %, but you would be correct in your thinking. I have worked with some officers like this. Never really liked being on scene with some of them because that small % would give the rest of us a bad name. It really suck in my profession because one jack *** can really destroy the publics perception of the rest of us. But I guess its like that in every profession.

[Old Man Mike]

LA has done a great job moderating here, and I'd rep him if he wasn't already so proud of how high his rep-power is. Could HE be teetering on the brink of a power trip --- hah!

It WOULD be nice to turn to this thread for some actual news about Tommy or Carlo. That is apparently too much to expect though so....

On the issue of power and professions: the police have to have some serious power to do their [dangerous] job. I have two people in my family who have been in law enforcement, one now in the FBI [does drug raids in Detroit]. Both were the finest people you could be around, but the FBI relative will NOT mess around in any dangerous situation. I honor that, and cannot imagine how any police officer can play it soft down the middle. And I cannot imagine living in a society without a good well-manned security element to it.

I am perfectly aware of the violations and breakdowns which occur. I believe that much of that is attributable to the fact that we selfish Americans are not willing to pay for the best people to occupy these critical jobs. You get the service that you pay for. But every profession of any significance can have abusers who can hurt you. My old profession had mostly good professors [morals-wise] but some full-blown bast+ards. "We" can ruin your life by abuse of "our" power too. I'll bet some of you have faced that, and some of you folded up and took it.

It would sometimes seem nice to just do it the "west virginia" way --- someone out of line? Just get the good guys together and beat the he!l out of them at midnight at the bar. Trouble is, who defines the "good guys"?


Oh yes... Kate Upton looks very nice.

Freebie from Irish Eyes
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."
