Notre Dame (football only discussion)

[Saw31]

I'd love to know what the alleged probable cause in chasing down and tackling a citizen. "Suspicion of being at a loud party?"

While it is not advisable to run when the cops are around, just doing it is not breaking any law.

I hope somebody yelled "See Terry v Ohio" as they were running

I think the more interesting aspect of this is that police officers, wearing guns, handcuffs, radios, batons, pepper spray, etc. were able to chase down two ND football players. ND =/= speed apparently...

Oh, and I'm pretty sure Michael Floyd = probable cause in this case...

I would assume a loud party violates some sort of noise ordinance. Also, it is not unlikely that the police hollered for them to stop. Failure to obey a police order is problematic.

He then ran away, and reportedly kneed the cop in the chest, knocking the wind out of him, resulting in them both falling to the ground. And you call that "tackling a citizen"?

Goddamn that Ty Willingham!

Good lord! Ubet's back...

Goddamn that Ty Willingham!

Four words?? Four lousy words?!?!?!?
Where is the wall of text I was expecting?

This might be just the thing Irish fans need to get Everett Golson or Andrew Hendrix under center in the fall, cause Rees is the default choice based on experience unfortunately. In any case...we knew Tommy was never going to outrun anyone in this offense, on or off the field

Well at least this isnt a common thing (oh wait, a WR had 3 DUI's, some guy raped a chick that killed herself, blah blah blah) at ND. This is no where near as bad as free tattoo's (to the media)


Sigh sad.

Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees has been charged with four misdemeanors after allegedly raising his knee and knocking the wind out of a police officer

WTF is raising a knee? Looks like community service is in his future...unless his lawyer can convince a judge that playing for BK is punishment enough.

Pro Right X Waggle Thunder Knee just became part of the Irish playbook....

Been traveling and out of touch with most US news, but the fact that BP isn't covered in flames with a nuclear cloud hovering above tells me that there was no Monday announcement that Notre Dame was joining the Big 10 in 2014.

Who floated that rumor, ESPN?

How the fuck do you knee a cop in the gut and not get charged with a felony?

Seriously, how the fuck do you knee a cop in the gut and not get fucking shot?

Just a guess, but that's how they roll in South Bend?

 

[redguard117]

They have cops in South Bend? News to me.

Well, I guess someone has to do it...

You've never been to South Bend. Charming English countryside village, it ain't.

This is more appropriate.
