Blaming the police for this or even suggesting that is stupid.
It doesn't matter if he was provoked. He has to know what is on the line and go about his life accordingly right now. He is not just another guy at a club as he has a lot more to lose than Joe six-pack.
Tossed from the bowl game ... and now this. I'd be pretty surprised to see Dennard go in the first round now (maybe some team will overlook his issues, but his stock has likely dropped with the majority of teams). Amazingly costly mistake.
This is definitely bad for NU as it will now be a subject of draft-day discussion. It's worse for Dennard, though.
If the officer wasn't hurt, then Dennard wasn't trying to hurt the officer. A bonehead move, but not the worst thing an athlete has ever done. It will cost him but shouldn't be a career-ender.
Yikes... with the draft coming up this could be a problem.
If the officer wasn't hurt, then Dennard wasn't trying to hurt the officer.
bingo! You don't punch police officers, ever, end of story.
AD must have had a ton of booze in him or I he is really really dumb.
The football player will pay convicted or not, guilty or not.
Stupid, to suggest there may be another side of the story?
Just an opinion even if its stupid.
