@axlrose: Damn, double post. (Hangs head, walks away)

@axlrose: HA! Sarcasm.

@axlrose: You mad bro? I'm not a Coach. And I was not there. If I was there, I wouldn't be commenting on here about it until I spoke with authorities about what I know.

We have been on the same page thoughout -

"I am not proud of what went on at Bogart Field and if the coach had any involvement, I want him/her away from coaching children because he obviously can not handle the job."

Now, I gotta sew some Nikes.

[quote][b]axlrose[/b] - @zookeep: just responding to ballgame25's post of no one knew what happened on this site because they weren't there. A little sarcasm directed at ballgame25. That is all.

I'm not even sure what this means. Where did I say that? I suppose you should direct your sarcasm at ballgame25, whoever that is.

@axlrose: I don't think the deputy lied either. Of course the coach should have apologized - he should have had a closer eye on the players and not let it happen. Far, far different from admitting the he instigated the incident.

Apparently you were there. You state "he used poor judgement" resulting in an "incident he instigated". Shouldn't you be talking to police?

@axlrose: So you're siding with the coach? Because, as it stands now, the coach hasn't admitted culpability.

The article gives no account from anyone other than what the victim reported to Police.

Of course, the boy would have no motivation to pin it on the Coach (other than avoiding assualt charges for the punching child, not turning on his teammates and getting them suspended from LL, etc.)

So it's clear, if the Coach did do that, he should face the consequences.

Let's see how it turns out.

@axlrose: "The boy told the deputy in the emergency room..." Probably with is parent or parents right there. Let's see what the coaches and players who witnessed it say.

"...coach apologized to the mother for letting it happen." "It" meaning anything happen to your child. He didn't say "Yes I told him to punch a kid and I'm sorry."

When you read something, also think about what it doesn't say.

This is all according to the police report filed by the plaintiff (one side of story). My bet is the investigation will reveal boys being boys behind the coaches back.

I hope he's ok either way.

I'm glad our state agency, in the midst of budget constraints and economic uncertainty, has responded so quickly to this crisis and scheduled further time to discuss this critical issue.

@Tewise: Agree with you and @jeleclekat. I couldn't tell if you meant that or legislation.

OK, I'll bite. How could this have been "completely avoided"?

[quote][b]GoDawgs283[/b] - Coach Copas said, “I was recruiting him and Tiger Woods about the same time." Daly is 47, and Woods is 37. Assuming John was recruited a high school senior, how old was Tiger when Georgia was recruiting him? 8?
[/quote]

Tiger started college in 94, when Copas was still here. And remember, we knew who Tiger was when he was 2 and he started getting recruited much earlier than most. "About the same time" - within 10 years for a retired Coach, I'll let it slide.

"Rest of the year". Thats 9 months. At $400,000 salary, that's $1,667 per month (rounded to the nearest dollar, not nearest hundred dollars), or $15,000 for this year which equals 3.75% of his salary.

See how they even massage those numbers to make them look better?

Prayers for the family.

My gun has never attacked anybody.

Beware of an IRS email. They would use US Mail for that type of notice. Could be someone phishing for the daughter's SSN to do just that.

[quote][b]bobbidiboo[/b] - The line about police and doughnut shops is just as funny as it was the first time I heard it....zip, zilch, nada, cero. It's told as fact but is totally inaccurate. I don't think I've ever seen a police car at a doughnut shop. And I am out and about a lot.

They knew we were onto them. Now they get drive thru and hang out in a remote parking lot staring at their phones. But hey, they can spend their breaks as they like. I also see many citizens doing this. As for me, guilty from time to time as well.

My wife and I are lucky enough to have "date night" most Saturdays. We always spend a hour or so before dinner just riding and looking. "R & L'ing" is what my dad used to call it.

Had to Neg ya, being as I'm from there. Not much of an argument though. Fun place, definitely some seediness. A lot of good folks live there.

Fun fact - of the three groups (Race Fans, Bikers and Spring Breakers), who spends the most money and causes the least disruption?

Bikers.

I was in the Navy, on a Destroyer, doing NATO drills off the coast of North Carolina. Couldn't get away from it and had to ride it out. We took 30+ degree rolls for almost 2 days including a 42 degree roll one night. You had to walk on the walls to stay upright.

Maybe someday the only charge here would be operating a business without a proper license.

I absolutely would have turned in the $6,000 I found in the envelope.

The drug deals go bad because it's illegal, not because of the drugs.
