What are the chances he plays this year?

Spin the wheel

Indy Coug

A Lloyd Christmas chance.

vagabonder

At least you're telling me there's a chance.

eysikal

3/10/20 1:40pm

Really? With all charges dropped I would think they are much higher.

JuicyJam

3/10/20 1:45pm

higher than a week ago, but the HCO isn't big on due process or evidence.

vagabonder

3/10/20 1:50pm

If he got off on a technicality I could see them still wanting to punish.

eysikal

3/10/20 1:55pm

That isn't the HCO decision.

Cougar TD

If it’s not the HCO decision to punish who’s is it?

IceBlueCoug

3/11/20 9:14am

not their decision to punish something that was dropped.

Cougar TD

3/11/20 9:19am

Not true.

coldcoug

3/11/20 9:32am

From what I read, they did not do a BAC test. Thus, HCO would not

Cougarbib

Open container and the would be enough

coldcoug

3/11/20 2:52pm

Source? Not saying you are wrong. This just was not in what I read.

Cougarbib

3/11/20 3:57pm

Source

coldcoug

3/11/20 11:34pm

I just read your source. None of that sobriety test details you claim exist

Cougarbib

3/12/20 12:14am

The open container and the pipe is enough for hco

coldcoug

3/12/20 4:44pm

They took blood and urine.

coldcoug

3/12/20 4:49pm

Did he or did he not have a bac? If so, honor code could be problematic.

coldcoug

Quite the writer I see

That's par for the course. It's Twitter.

I remember a lot of people saying, "if its true, then..." but I don't remember

here's to hoping

Some? It was a stampede against and complete presumption of guilt

So, it didn't happen or it won't be prosecuted???

I can’t picture a DA dismissing the charge if there’s sufficient evidence to pro

They don’t have the evidence to prosecute

Quick to judge? I think he should be able to sue the media for reporting

Pretorian

LyleLanley

The media reported facts directly from the police report and probable cause

Phred84044

3/10/20 4:49pm

The report said “under suspicion” media should not be allowed to report that

Pretorian

He should sue about 43 posters on this board : )

Media reported accurately. He was arrested and charged. Prosecutor

Cougarbib

3/11/20 12:01am

You’re missing the point, what was accurate was they were not sure if he did it

Pretorian

3/11/20 4:09am

You can't expect the media to not run with news.

JuicyJam

3/11/20 6:36am

They reported ON speculation. That is the problem

Pretorian

3/11/20 7:10am

So now they can’t report anybody ever getting arrested because it’s speculation?

JuicyJam

3/11/20 7:25am

How about they put bold red letters across the screen that say "speculation"?

rcbyufan

3/11/20 7:32am

Nope.... the reason is immaterial until confirmed

Pretorian

3/11/20 8:24am

They report someone was arrested for reasons unconfirmed

Pretorian

3/11/20 8:23am

I guess in your mind you can’t report until someone’s convicted?

eysikal

3/11/20 7:36am

We would have missed the white Bronco chase.

eysikal

3/11/20 7:37am

That is different... that is actual “OJ is being chased in his white Bronco...”

Pretorian

3/11/20 8:29am

Chaz was arrested. He was arrested because he was a suspect in a crime. Facts.

Cougarbib

3/11/20 11:02am

^^^^^ this is all that should be reported^^^ well said

Pretorian

3/11/20 5:03pm

Define "unconfirmed". Sheesh, the serial killer caught a year ago by DNA testin

Cougarbib

Are you ok with national publicity of a random accusation of something very

Pretorian

3/11/20 5:12pm

If I get arrested, it will get reported. Yes, I am ok with that. And, if there

Exactly, the press isn’t even include even though they are the ones causing

Pretorian

3/12/20 4:04am

They basically quoted the police report.

Indy Coug

3/11/20 7:49am

True, I’m not ok with that. Police are to write everything that was said...

Pretorian

3/11/20 8:37am

He was arrested. Not detained. Arrested.

Cougarbib

3/11/20 11:03am

Arrests vs detained, either one invokes guilt on a wrong accusation

Pretorian

3/12/20 4:09am

You spelled arrested wrong. He was arrested. That is way different than just b
