Yeah we know that will happen

Does GMTM work at the TV station with Knuckle? If so, those must be the worst-spelled teleprompters in America. Your anchors must hate you.

Bring on the anti-LU locals again...

Folks I am not involved with news. I am in Operations and Production. I was simply alerting you to watch the show. It is the reporters job to get the facts from the police, and that is what they gave him. Sorry I brought it up!

I know it's because it's our guys, but that's a double standard if I've ever heard one. Jerome Simpson slaps his girlfriend and we speculate for two days. Our guys get in a bar fight and everyone has to shutup.

[Knucklehead]

I've said before that since this is a message board I think speculation is OK as long as it isn't ridiculous/ But alsa it isn't my board.

[Hold My Own]

I dont think Sly is trying to protect just the LU guys, I think it's a mix of the victims family and LU guys...this is a very delicate situation for hundreds of reasons...due process is due process

[SuperJon]

I just think it's absolutely hilarious that we make fun of, speculate about, and all kinds of things about other teams' players, but when it comes to something here in Lynchburg, Dad tells us to stop talking.

[Sly Fox]

You are misinterpreting my suggestion. I was only stating that in light of the circumstances involved in this particular case that some caution is warranted. And I think you know what I am referring to, SJ. I never told anybody to stop talking. But there are people watching this board especially in times like these.

[SuperJon]

So it's ok to talk about someone slapping their girlfriend five hours from here but not what happened across town? That's just dumb. If people know something, and they want to talk about it, let em. The point of a message board is for people to read it. Don't diminish the board because you're scared of who is reading it.

The difference is she probably deserved it though.

But Lloyd's father says his son didn't touch the man and that there are many facts that he hopes will come out soon, to clear his son's name.

I, for one, am grateful for the alert.

[Knucklehead]

WOW
Thanks

"I'm Ron Bur...gun...dy?"

"Dang it. Who typed a question mark on the teleprompter?"

[troyywr]

These guys get blitzed full of liquor and beer all over town...and they run in a gang of present and former players..I've hungout with them several times...I dont drink,so of course I didnt stay long..but its pretty basic that if they feel challenged in anyway they will jump on your tail..with that said these things happen when you hangout and bars till 3am ...no one eats after 11or 12...but what I really want to know is what does the Racist Forest Community thing aboout that? They created such a fuss when the legal mexican worker townhomes where gonna be built near JF..who would you rather live next to..these guys or legal mexican workers who work from 6am-8pm to support their families.

[SuperJon]

This is what happens anytime alcohol is involved, not just football players.

[Knucklehead]

My daddy always told me that NOTHING good happens after midnight. As always he was right. Mix in alcohol, and there is trouble X 2!

I think I'd rather have these boneheads than 50 male workers living together for the summer away from their families right next to the local high school. It's not racism, it's more sexist than anything.

But about the subject at hand: You said former and current players? If current players are doing this crap, if I'm Rocco or a Sr. leader on the team, I'm cracking some heads.

[Knucklehead]

Is anyone else struck by the fact that both of these guys are state school transfers?

Tim Tebow goes to a State School, what's your point?

That's a pretty ridiculous statement if you are trying to call out State schools and the athletes they recruit. There is bad stuff going on at private Christian schools (Baylor) and good stuff going on at State schools (Tebow, etc.).

I hope you haven't gotten to a point where you are judging people based on where they got recruited to go to school to play ball.

[Knucklehead]

You missed the inferrence completely.
And since it got such a big negative reaction, I will let it drop rather than persuing my hunch further.

[ToTheLeft]

...alright. Not sure what else you could be inferring. I wouldn't let MY reaction deter you, tho. I tend to have the more extreme reactions on the board... I just don't see what else you could be referring to.

Let me try this edit!
