Cousins

Quit defending him and blaming the police. He screwed up. It was his fault. He caused this. Running from the cops is not what most normal kids do either.

I love how you leave out "running from the cops."

Didn't you read the story? He didn't run from the cop. He hid from the cop. If he had ran from the cop, they would have never caught him. Cousins is pretty fast. And besides, he may have been too drunk to hear the cop tell him to stop.
 
The inside scoop is that he was not drunk, when the cop said "you better freeze" Cousins thought he said "you better flee." Honest mistake by Isiah, nothing to see here.

The officer separated the two, Newell said, when Cousins began to walk away. The officer asked Cousins to stop, but the OU basketball player ran away. Cousins was found hiding in a bush.

I highlighted the important part for you.

You asked me if I read the story. Did YOU read the story? And too drunk to hear? That's a new one.

Doesn't running away imply running AWAY. It sounds like he ran TO a bush.

Dude, he ran away. It's ok to say that your wrong sometimes.

It is likely that Cousins exercised some poor judgment on more than one front that night. However, a 3rd parties account of what the officer said happened is not proof or evidence that I am right or wrong or that Cousins is guilty or innocent.
 
Running away from a fat, rent a cop, dork, Norman police officer is not a big deal.

Getting caught is. How could any OU scholarship athlete not evade those clowns? That is sad.

You cannot be serious right now.

I hope you are just trolling

You can call it trolling or what ever term that suites you. I call it poking at the hypocrites that rallied to Pledger's defense for stealing shirts and are now piling on Cousins for a much lessor offense.

I don't think that any of them should be putting themselves in a position to have negative interactions with the police. It isn't that hard to get through college or life without being arrested.

Funny considering you weren't on this board at the time that happened.

Let me guess, you weren't a member, but you were reading the board, right?

No, wrong again. That topic was re-litigated with me being the target of taunts, insults, and name calling. My position was that Pledger and Fitz received favorable treatment from the cops and that an offense that severe should have resulted in a season long suspension. You as usual were one of the ringleaders. If you say now that you do not recall that period of time, you would be misremembering or as you like to accuse others, lying.

If the proper punishment for stealing a couple of shirts, or anything worse, was a season long suspension, college basketball (and/or college sports in general) would become pretty crappy products.

If you think petty shoplifting results in strong handed legal punishment, even to the average citizen, you really need to do some research. More often then not, it ends up not even involving the police, unless it's some special circumstance.

You really need to get over the Pledger-hate that you have. I'm sorry that he proved you wrong by being one of the top players on a team that made the NCAA Tournament, but you should be happy about it, if you are really an OU fan.
 
By the way, I'd be interested in reading the re-litigation of Pledger and Fitz. Care to find the link?

How so? You weren't around when Pledger and Fitz got in trouble, so you have NO IDEA what my opinion was at the time. All you know is what my opinion was about 2-3 years AFTER the incident.

I've also never said that Cousins should be suspended, kicked off the team, or anything like that. Wouldn't YOU be the true hypocrite here? I haven't seen you suggest that Cousins should be suspended for the year. Or do you think under-aged drinking in public, fighting in public, and then running from the police is less of an offense than swiping a couple of shirts.

:facepalm

You also vouched for nike, and we all know how that turned out.

I'm sure at some point you did bring up the Pledger/Fitz incident. I just doubt your conclusions from such discussion.
 
It's almost like you guys effort to get crossways, no matter the topic. Have either of you ever agreed on something? Good stuff. I enjoy the banter.
