[Frohlich]

Charged...

Hey, I don't want to press charges but I do want my 50K?????? I am sure there is more to the story but I can't understand either side of it. Why would Berry punch someone and then brag about it (doesn't sound like meds would cause you to do this...if it is even true). And for the "victim" why not press charges but go after the money?? Smells funny all around.

Based on what? There isn't enough evidence to charge him with a crime, apparently, yet you want to throw the kid out?

Apparently, there is enough evidence to charge him.

the funny smell is rotten tuna...pressing charges is fine...suing a college football player is another thing

 

[Brutus1]

Read it again, Froh. The guy in the Sept. case, refused to press charges. The October case pressed charges and filed the suit.

I'm failing to see the reason a guy can't or shouldn't be sued because he's
a college football player.

Maybe because he is a Buckeye fan and wants to be reimbursed for his medical bills, but doesn't want to get Berry kicked off the team?

Not doing anything on the field and being a knucklehead off the field is not a good combo.

If Berry is ever going to get it it's probably not going to be with the Bucks, unfortunately.

Suspended Indefinitely?

A link on CBSSportsline says Berry is suspended indefinitely. Can't link since the link on their site doesnt even work.

If true, best thing for the program and Berry. Time to get things on the straight and narrow.

Link fixed. OSU suspends Berry....

That final portion of the news story was written a little awkwardly, but I think it was referring to the alleged victim in the September incident who chose not to press charges. It wasn't describing the recent incident there. The recent alleged victim is pressing charges (I assume) and suing.

That's a method of cleaning fish that I am not familiar with.

 

[EgonSchiele]

Up here we call that "bunker chunks."

My guess he is cutting bait as opposed to fishing.

My guess he is cutting bait as opposed to fishing.

Or maybe he is a sushi chef.

 

[Mr_Burns]

Any word on how badly he pulled his hamstring and/or sprained his ankle when he punched the kid?

Ding, ding, ding...we have a a winner.
