Soooo....Blount?

Wish he could have played linebacker against Stanford. Ducks needed someone to stop Gerhart.

If having a good Boise State team win there was painful enough to throw a punch, imagine what he would have done after Stanford put up 50 points...

He's probably enjoying the sweet smell of Roses right now...

It seems a pattern is starting to emerge for Oregon running backs . . .

U-g-l-y.

Here's Canzano's column this morning:

Canzano

Whatever you think of Canzano, he brings up good points. This is unacceptable behavior. If true, these guys should be gone. I love watching James run the football, but I can't cheer for someone who chokes his girlfriend. There is no place for that in this life.

Are you sure UO didn't hire Rick Neuheisel as head coach? This has early 00s UW football written all over, haha and we know where that story leads...

While in no way do I defend it, I can at least understand punching someone who just taunted you after a football game.

I cannot understand ever putting your hands on a woman. It is absolutely inexcusable. If these allegations are credible, he should be kicked off the team and out of the school.

I can understand the school waiting until the police and DA finish an investigation, but Kelly has time to make a decision on this one. He needs to make a decision and stick with it this time.

Is LaMichael James gonna have to choke a......

What's your opinion on (allegedly) stealing laptops?? Maybe we should ask Doug Gottlieb on that one... (although I guess it was credit cards...)

And yeah, compared to this, Blount's transgression was undoubtedly trivial. I really don't see how James can be let back on the football team, I mean if a coach can get canned for putting a player in a shed, strangling and assaulting a woman... Uh yeah...

Schools were able to cover things like this up so easily before the internet, now they have this: Lane County Corrections

Things were a little more complex than that. Sentencing Memorandum Seems like both parties acted out of line, but the guy got all of the punishment. Doesn't sound like actions that merit expulsion, to me. But we'll know soon.

Per the Register-Guard: LINK. Sounds about right, to me.

IOW, he'll be playing in the Civil War next season.

Looks like Blount is going to get a chance with the 49ers.

Back at it.

If it was anyone else, you wouldn't see it on ESPN, but come on, this guy should be on his best behaviour if he wants to make the team. On second thought, maybe that was his best behaviour.

maybe it is just me, but I think this may actually help his cause. Coaches don't give a rip about fights in practice, if nothing else it shows that fire. Right or wrong it is what it is.

The NFL isn't nearly as concerned about that kind of image as the NCAA... I mean they have other things to deal with:



(3 kids the age of 3?? Oh dear...)

Was that 3 three year olds and one about to turn 3? Must've been a heck of a year... Funny he didn't mention triplets.

Maybe they were quads... And the last 2 just decided to hang out a little longer in the womb...

From Wikipidia "Cromartie has fathered at least seven children with six women living in five states, and has been named in at least five paternity suits in the past two years"

Could be worse, at least he's married to the latest baby momma.

Paternity Lawsuits????? I can only guess who will be footing the bill on those poor kids in about ten years when the $ runs dry from sports. The American taxpayers, ,.

UGH, UGLY, UGLIER. ....
