More Trouble In Tallahassee - Dalvin Cook investigated for battery

[Swamp Donkey]

I figured it out Now. I will just cut and paste.

 

[PastyStoole]

A better comparison would be Tom Osborne. The sexual assault comparisons are very close. And both coaches are incredibly complicit.

Of course Osborne went on to become a state representative. The perfect fit.

Good comparison. Osborne was probably the sleaziest coach I've see in college football, but Fisher is certainly trying to emulate his tactics. I remember Osborne calling the rape victim in in the Christian Peter case so he could "talk" to her. Then surprising her by having Christian Peter in the room to intimidate her. Scum bag.

BTW, Osborne was a U.S. Congressman, not a state rep.

Congressmen are State Representatives, he was a member of the house of representatives. The US Congress is actually both the House or Representatives and the Senate.

Congressmen are not merely state representatives, although you could argue they represent their state. They are part of Washington, not the state.

the slang term of congressman is, but a congressman by definition is either a state rep or senator. See definition.

 

[GatorJ]

Maybe I should've been more specific. Not part of the state House but the U.S. House.

Just make them watch schoolhouse rocks, Bart put the link. Use that mod power.

 

[TLB]

While the discussion has diverted into politics, it is a nice segue into what I was thinking - Fisher has been in Tallahassee and in-and-amongst politicians for too long, absorbing the entitlement mentality and public spin as normal.

When you say "State Representative" you usually mean the State House (in Tallahassee).

Likewise, "State Senator" usually means you are in the State Senate (in Tallahassee).

Your Representative in Congress (in DC) represents a district in your State but he or she typically uses the title "Congressman" or "Representative".

Your Senator in Congress (in DC) represents your State but he or she typically uses the title "Senator".

Tom Osborne served in the US House of Representatives in Washington DC representing a Nebraska district.



Oh, and regardless what they call themselves, they're all swine.

Where is Bart with another SchoolHouse Rocks?

Jimbo is such a clown:

@Matt_Fortuna: Told other coaches have rules kicking players off for public video evidence of hitting women, #FSU HC Jimbo Fisher says: "That's ours." #ACCKickoff

its not working for me, whats the 1 paraghaph summary?

The girl specifically says "the one with the dreds hit me".
I don't know if any of the other players have dreds but Mr. Cook has a 'dred-bun' on his head or maybe a nest of angry tarantulas.

 

[Gatordiddy]

And Cook's attorney:
Ricky Patel, Cook’s Miami-based attorney, told the Democrat last week his client is innocent, and this is a case of mistaken identity.
“There are two points to make here,” Patel said.
“No. 1: He didn’t punch anyone. No. 2 is: The alleged victim is a black female. And this is another instance of people assuming Dalvin Cook is the same guy that has been shown on other videos of other athletes at Florida State. And he isn’t."



Um...point no.1, why of course, after all you are a defense attorney, so...good point, I guess.
point no.2: what? I can tell the difference between De'Andre Johnson and Dalvin Cook.
And the victim's race somehow matters?
We're past that...so what's your point? We know he's not 'on other videos'.
What a goober. Speaking of videos:
Dalvin should have called this guy (even for "funny throwback crimes")

False. No one calls a sitting US Congressman a "State Representative." That term is reserved for people in the state house.

Expert member? Really? Not at reading evidently.
