If Patterson de commits because they're put on probation, then Johnson will be there quickly.
Didn't the SEC make a rule that teams couldn't accept transfers that had committed serious crimes like his or am I making that up?
So true.Quote:

Not that I condone him for punching that girl...NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM (insert Chris Rock stand-up quote here.......), but it's an interesting situation....since there is no audio, we have to just go off video...the guy is trying to get to an open spot at the bar, the drunk girl sticks her ass out to block him, there's some pushing back and forth, she then turns around and immediately lifts her fist, and then throws the first punch, to which he responded with vigor. Myself, I'd have preferred he just gave her a good "shaking" until her drunken fight subdued a bit, but seriously, had that been a guy who threw the first punch, even with Johnson retaliating, he'd likely be in the clear; just defending himself.Quote:

Its an interesting double standard. Even with the Tunsil situation, the fact that he was involved in domestic violence is totally negated simply because he hit a man, and not a woman, despite the fact he is 6'5" tall and 300+. I don't know how big his stepdad is, but I bet it ain't close to that. Is that not at least a little bit similar to a man punching a woman, who is considered "weaker" physically, and unable to take such trauma on their body?Quote:

Yeah, I can buy that. But...I still think that anyone thinking about throwing a punch, should expect the exact same thing in return, man or woman. That's not condoning hitting a woman, quite the contrary, but discouraging hitting another person altogether. People need to get out of this playground mentality. Fighting is for punks.Quote:

Maybe I was just raised differently, but unless my life is literally in danger, never hit a woman. He could have walked away, run, grabbed her arm as she swung and then stepped away, shaken her, or hell even pushed her, and it would have been way better than that shit. And if not because it's simply the right thing to do...at least do it because we live in a World where you know that is not going to go unnoticed. Dude deserves every bit of punishment he gets IMO...and I would say the same thing if she had swung 10 times before he hit her. But maybe that's just me. I just believe in the phrase "you never hit a woman".Quote:

I do too, Cadaver. All the way. I guess my point is, as Tusk and I were somewhat alluding to, its not right to hit anyone. Period. Should she not be held at least a little bit accountable for being drunk and thinking it was "OK" to punch a D-1 athlete? Shit, I'm a dude and a-hell-ova lot closer to Johnson's size/build than she, and I'm not stupid enough to do that, but like I said, it would take a lot for me to resort to punching someone, anyways.Quote:

i'm fine with shaming him for that act, a man should know better, but not criminal punishment. in the eyes of the law, she attacked him unprovoked, and he defended himself.Quote:
