A little off topic, but more bad news for the Ducks and their fans. Rob Beard, the Duck's placekicker that had the snot beat out of him at the end of January, has been charged with misdemeanor 4th degree assault on a 19 year old woman. This charge is connected to Beard's ass kicking, not a new incident. Go Blazers
I'm interested to hear more. Right now it's a domestic dispute, and those tend to be diluted and fucked up. My girlfriend has a family friend who was arrested for assault in a domestic dispute. The sad part? It's a woman. She had gotten into a fight with her husband, it ended up physical, and they both were hitting each other. She had a black eye. He called the cops, so they arrested her. Here's a case of a man hitting his wife, calling the cops, and walking away scott free. Not saying this is the case with James, but just an example of how the story can be twisted when two lovers are involved. I don't want to remind people of the Tila Tequila story. lol I'm just hoping this isn't true and he didn't actually commit all the crimes that are levied against him. It could really ruin his life.
he took over a year ago. The national media gave him pretty high marks for the way he handled the Blount situation. As a noteworthy aside to that incident, Chip sent a personal check to an Oregon fan who'd traveled to Boise and said he wanted his money back. He has kicked several players who've messed up off the team including Embry before he was accused of stealing laptops (Masoli is supposed to have a rock solid alibi/falsely accused). Some kickers got in a fight and lots of people were arrested. I'm never surprised when top athletes mess up, especially football players as their skulls seem to be the thickest from my experiences in HS and college. When they do, I'd prefer that they face harsh consequences as I'd hope that doing so would serve as a lesson for the others to learn from. To me it seems that this is what Kelly has done, but what do I know STOMP
Pardon? I never said anything about beating up homeless people. I simply told the fucker to go panhandle somewhere else and not right in front of a bank, grocery store and apartment complexes in my neighborhood. Go panhandle on the freeway. Not here. There are kids playing and mothers walking their newborns in strollers. They don't need a dirty, nasty panhandler in the middle of our neighborhood and neither do I. If you like that shit? Stay where you live and please do not come around my side of town where it is clean.
Yeah, he's an odd one. Kind of puts his story of "my ex-wife's cop boyfriend beat my infant son" into a different light. I'm not saying it didn't happen but it does make you wonder what exactly did happen. Bottom line, I'm not sure if he's mentally stable enough to be a full time single parent. Prayers for his son.
Is Jesse Jackson going to make the short trip down to Eugene (he's in Portland) and demand that James be held responsible for his actions?
No need. James is black and in a white man's court without a dime . .. no doubt he will be held responsible by the man and do his time. -Jesse Jackson
Don't like to see this. I heard he plead not guilty though...so hopefully it's a false accusation or something. Time will tell. This does make me sad, I will admit. I always liked James and he seemed to be a pretty good kid (maybe he is, we still don't know all the details). Well I guess if it is true and James is suspended or whatever, the Ducks are fortunate that it's a position where they're absolutely LOADED with talent (assuming they can remain out of jail), so I'm not too worried from that standpoint. But yeah, not a great off-season for the Ducks. Not sure what else to say.
Wow, this University of Oregon football program is sure looking like a recruits assault paradise! Heres the very brief story on Bowlin who was part of that brawl with Beard. He has now left the team and school. http://kezi.com/page/162730 Heres the retaliation by Sophomore Matt simms (dismissed off team) on the attack on his teammate Rob Beard. http://kezi.com/page/161434 Wow, this football program is really fucked up. Looks no end in sight. Lets see who else gets kicked off.
In the competitive, ruthless world of recruiting these days character flaws can easily be overlooked. It doesn't matter where your at, there's the chance that players are going to do stupid things that could possibly make the program look bad. It just seems like in college athletics things like this spread like wildfires in spurts when they do happen. Oregon State has had more than its fair share of players doing retarded things in their recent past.
All within the last year or so? Had to bring up OS again in self defense didn't you? I am talking about the UO program RIGHT NOW. Oregon State problems: 2005: Two OS football players were arrested after trying to bribe a cab driver with pot. 2005: One OS football player was drunk and caught with a sheep. 2000: Four Oregon State football players were arrested after fighting another student at a Frat house. Zagfan. Should I start a list of the UO football players and their problems?
I don't see any Oregon State fans piling on here. Paranoid much? So your defense is boys will be boys??? Good thing you aren't the coach or AD at U of O. I would hope they would take violence against women (or anyone for that matter) a little more seriously. I just can't believe how indifferent you are about this. If this was a Blazer or a Beaver I would want the coach to do something about it, and I wouldn't just say oh well, it is a position of strength so who cares.
