Tennessee football players involved in brawl

My point exactly. The kid might have been trying to do the right thing, but I hope UT checks this out thoroughly and the truth comes out. I think its strange he was an off duty cop just out trying to do his duty at 2am. in the morning.

So since he's a cop, he cannot enjoy drinks in a club after midnight?? Wtf?? Also, he can't commit a public service which is his job when he's off duty?? It's not like the dude is a judge or anything and can't be seen drinking or out late in public.

He was probably having a good time and a drink in a "college bar" because he knew the owners of the bar and probably got free drinks...

I refuse to believe any of these allegations. Pope Dooley of Character has baptized this program in morality and righteousness. That's what the Erics of the world have been telling anyone who would listen. I'm sure Andre Lott will have a couple of character building sessions with these lads and make it all better. See how much better things are with Dooley and Da'Rick on campus than they would have been with Kiffin and Ambles? How lucky we are.

Really man?

Your such a joke its ridiculous

why are ppl posting about cops being d#cks, apparently fball players can be d#cks as well as lawyers, ceo's, lebron and any other profession

I have been to a many a bar and shady night club in my life have had my arse kicked and kicked some arse, never once did i f with a cop.
you screw with a cop right or wrong you deserve whatever you get,
 
Wrong. People who enjoy watching the naive and the hypocritical get what they deserve find this extremely satisfying.

Maybe the worst post I've ever read. Enjoy being bitter the rest of your life. You're beyond cynical. You don't even act like a Tennessee fan.

It's worth seeing your own team damaged to gloat over others? Sad.
 
There are plenty of bars in and around Knoxville...he had to choose the "college kid" bar to go and drink? It just doesn't really add up to me.
Maybe it was the only "happenin" bar going on that night? I don't know Knox's night life...The cop didn't look too old from the pic posted in this thread earlier...

It could have been...it is just odd that he's there the night all the football players roll in...whatever. They are all still idiots.
 
Love the tweet from Poole.

Dooley can recruit and sign as many 2 an 3 star guys as he wants if this junk doesn't happen anymore. I can't even express how sick of waking up to this type of news I am. I am in shock.
 
I'd like to see a BAC on the off duty officer!!
exactly.
there are so many questions that have to be answered before any action will be taken by law enforcement or the university. who knows, this cop could have been drunk out of his mind and deserved this, just because he's a cop does not make him immune to the law as well.

This is the type of young man we want on this team. The type that will wear the orange proudly and realize what an opportunity he has to play in a tradition-rich school in front of some of the most passionate fans in college football.

I didn't say that. I just said I hope UT checks it out and gets full details. For the same reason you think it seems normal, some of us find it a little strange he just happened to be out at 2 am and ended up in the middle of the fight. Again, he could have been just having a relaxing night out and was just trying to help. Not a smart place to choose to do that at, but besides the point. I just hope it gets checked out.
 
Hadn't seen this one posted:

@espn4d: Apparently the Tennessee football team took the LeBron news harder than most folks in Cleveland.

Still no headline on ESPN yet.
 
You are like a 5 year old saying nananabooboo. Are you really letting your dislike of Dooley get in the way of wanting good things to happen at UT? You are actually reveling in this disappointing news aren't you. I normally like to read your posts, but that one just hit me the wrong way, so I will apologize for saying stfu.
I'm not reveling in it. That's not my point. These incidents happen everywhere. I'm simply pointing out that just because a coach comes in and says he emphasizes character doesn't suddenly turn UT into a monastery. My beef is with fans who act as if Kiffin, whose team did pretty well in the classroom and off the field, was running a loose ship because he didn't go on TV and say "character" every third word and hire Tori Noel to treat player like they were five years old. Kiffin had three guys try to recover money from a third rate pot dealer and a guy steal a shirt. Dooley has had a guy get drunk and hood surf and a brawl. I don't think either scenario indicates the coach is lax in discipline. I think it exhibits the fact they are dealing with college kids. The decision making of 18-22 year olds is never going to be confused with the wisdom of Solomon.
 
Who says anything about "looking for trouble"? Cops are individuals too, as long as they are responsible for their actions when they are out in public, there is nothing wrong with having beers with friends at the local bar.

agreed!! our guys were underage, out at 2am....so what if the bar is 18+ we all know they were drinking...have you seen darick's mug shot??? his eyes tell the truth. they beat up a guy for what ever reason....COP OR NOT...the guy is in ICU. an earlier post made the comment cops can be pricks..blah blah...Prick, jock, nerd, geek, mr football, NO ONE deserves to be beat up by 4 or 6 people and end up in a hospital bed....

Oh.. so off-duty cops aren't allowed to go where they want to? I didn't realize they had less rights than us. It doesn't matter if it was a cop or not. Several players were involved in a fight, and you shouldn't be trying to defend the players by saying that the cop was looking for trouble. This lies squarely on the players, not the PD. If this was UGA of UF then all of you blaming the cop now would be saying that their players are thugs and beat up cops. Quit the double-standard.
