Let’s not forget that Dick “Tears As Big As Horse Turds” Vermeil proliferated the career of career thug and woman beater, Lawrence Phillips. Vermeil was still the coach and went to bat for that drunk, dumb ass, Leonard Little who killed a mother and ehr daughter by running a red light at an intersection in St. Louis while intoxocated by more than 3 times the legal limit!!

Debbie
There are instances like this that are largely relagated to the deep pages of the criminal codling Leftist Judicial system. Could any human being in right mind (that’s important) read this story and NOT say how the heck do these scum get away with it!!??
Killing a human being in one instance and maiming for life another is abhoring. I’m shaking my head which is exploding after reading this. Oh the judgement that awaits these scum. I know that it takes some time before someone really gets their just deserts and many would probably agree it is not soon enough in these instances.
I would think they’re must some groups or organizations out there like MADD that people could connect with. Are there?

Brings to mind the case of 5 or 6 Cal State Fullerton football players who killed a US Marine outside a bar in Orange County, CA by taking turns kicking him repeatedly in the head after he was already on the ground. This occurred quite a few years ago. No charges were even filed by the county DA who I believe at the time was some RINO republican whose name I don’t recall at the moment. The so-called conservative Orange County Register didn’t utter a peep over this blatant mis-carrage of justice other than write a few dismissive “puff” pieces justifying the actions of the perpetrators as though gang killings by thug athletes were everyday excusable occurrences.

Hopefully the producers of ‘Invincible’ with Tim
Roth,which I think was one of the best, most
interesting and most recent movies about pre-Holocaust Germany,sue…Regarding the Philadelphia Eagles,it isn’t surprising they would hook up witha schmuck like Vermeil;the former team owner Leonard Tose tried to sue Atlantic City for pushing his gambling addiction over the edge.

Wow! I admire your bravery in attacking something sacred like football. Still, I question doing it. For instance, I have great reservations about what Mother Teresa did, but I rarely discuss them because I’m afraid that people will be less likely to listen to me on other topics. I wonder if you should be silent about pro football for the same reason.
Otherwise, keep up the good work!

I heard Kinnear was really good in this, maybe the guy wasn’t AS terrible back in day when he was a first year coach??

First is there is the huge umbrella of protection from the NFL, where atheletic talent comes before character. Of course there is the exception, but more importantly we are dealing with people who have large inflated egos and an IQ a tad bigger than their shoe size, or maybe a house plant.
You forgot to mention Ray Lweis Who is most notorious for murder. The bottom line is the bottom line it is all about the money, if a player produces and brings in the fans week after week he gets his reward more money.
College is just as bad, classic example is Maurice Clarette, played one year at OSU, took money lied to the Police and finally the NCAA could not protect him anymore and he was dumped. Now the players are saying , oh poor Muarice, well Maurice brought this on himself. Recently he was arrested on a weapons charge he had a couple of loaded guns in his car, as I said we are not dealing with Phi Beta Kappa’s here, these guys are dummer than dirt.

A population that fails to boycott criminals like Ryan Tucker has no credibility in complaining about terrorism.
