Jurors deadlock, judge declares mistrial in Miami football murder case​

A judge declared a mistrial Monday in the murder trial of former Miami Hurricanes player Rashaun Jones, accused of the shooting of teammate Bryan Pata in 2006.

About an hour after the six jurors began their second day of deliberations, Florida 11th Circuit Judge Cristina Miranda came into the courtroom to address the attorneys, reading a statement from the jurors: "At this point we are deadlocked with no one willing to move." Miranda instructed them to keep trying, but after about another hour, they again said they could not render a verdict.

Afterward, one jury member who asked to remain anonymous told ESPN that only one of the six jurors wanted to convict Jones.

Alvarez said the defense will "certainly try" to introduce new evidence at a retrial. Miranda, who ruled against most defense motions regarding other possible theories in the case, apparently would preside once again.

Pata's brother Edwin spoke for the victim's family saying, "Bryan would want us to continue to press, to continue to fight, to continue to stay strong, and that's what we're going to do.

Would be nice to get a top 8 seed an avoid Wednesday

Mapping out the optimal realistic scenario for OSU to finish the regular season ...

1) OSU wins their last two (favored in both)
2) UCLA splits their last two (Huskers FTW!)
3) Iowa loses at least one of two (underdogs in both)

In this scenario, OSU would manage to be the #7 seed in the Big Ten tournament. Head-to-head the tiebreaker would give OSU a seeding advantage over UCLA. It would be a significant advantage to be the #7 and play the #2 (Sparty/Huskers) instead of having to face UM. Right now OSU would be the #9 seed due to losing the tiebreaker with Iowa, you don't want to be below #8 because that means playing on Wednesday. #7 and #8 don't play their first games until Thursday. As if we needed more reasons for OSU to take PSU seriously as a must-win type of game ...

I was listening to XM on the way home and Jerry Palm just said and I quote "It doesn't matter what Miami does their final 2 regular season games the only thing that matters is the MAC tournament if they go 31-0 and then lose in MAC tournament they are out"

I call BS on that if they lose in MAC tournament they still get in. I actually am hoping Miami goes 33-0 and loses to Akron in the MAC final I want to see the committee have the ball sack to leave out a 33-1 team.

Undefeated regular season i'd be shocked if they get left out.

Lose to Ohio or Toledo to end the regular season and then lose in the MAC tournament and they probably will get left out.

If Miami Ohio finishes the regular season undefeated i'd be shocked if they get left out if they lose in the MAC tourney.

If they lose to Ohio or Toledo though before the MAC tourney, then it gets important that they win the MAC tourney.

Pearl and Auburn can get fucked though, they are a wildly mediocre team who's basically living off of "but but we have the #1 schedule!!!" losses still have to matter at some point and currently Auburn is 15-14 losing 7 of 8 games (should be 8 losses in a row too they got insanely lucky to beat Kentucky) and currently 11TH PLACE in their conference. So you they have no real complaint about getting "left out"

Sources: Commanders to release CB Marshon Lattimore, save $18.5M​

The Washington Commanders informed cornerback Marshon Lattimore that he will be released before the league year begins next week, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, a move that had been expected since Lattimore suffered a season-ending injury in November.

The new league year begins at 4 p.m. ET on March 11. The Commanders will save $18.5 million in salary cap space; they currently have the fifth-most space available. Washington is expected to be aggressive on the free agent market, particularly at corner, according to league sources.

Ask Bruce about this game earlier this season the 7th place MAC team put the beatdown on the middle of a pack Big East team at their own place

The Cincinnati Bengals retained one of their best offensive linemen ahead of the start of free agency, signing right guard Dalton Risner to a one-year deal on Monday.

The deal is worth up to $5 million, agents Drew Rosenhaus and Shawn O'Dare told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

He has a long history of misjudging Ohio threats.

man, fuck cancer!

he beat it once, was able to play college football again after beating it.
then it came back.

What if Miami played Auburn in the Big Dance and won?

Bruce Pearl is anti-Miami (OH) at-large & Miami's AD took issue with some of his comments. I'm not sure Miami would be last in the Big East, but I don't necessarily disagree with the notion that this team would be bottom-tier in any given power conference.

Kids will have to learn to be patient if they aren’t JJ Smith. Going to have a lot of people laugh in their faces right out of HS.
