News from the Missouri A.D. tonight:

The outstanding wide receiver has been placed on indefinite suspension for violation of team rules following several off season incidents in which conduct unbecoming of Missouri was displayed. Pinkel says they will be working with him to see what can be done.

Sorry Medic. He's a great receiver and the school and coach are just trying to get his head on straight.

Yep. Talent is only a part of success. Reminds me of several other great on field talents that became epic failures. The latest was Justin Blackmon. DGB will end up destroying his draft stock. NFL guys do not like this stuff. As for Mizzou, no player is bigger than the team. Missouri will march on with or without him. Fine by me... He has become way to high on himself. Maybe missing all of spring practice and the spring game will light his common sense fire.

ESPN reporting that he was dismissed from the team today. Something involving a burglary. What a dummy...

It was reported tonight that it was two battery charges by his girlfriend and another female friend of hers. The charges were dropped because of the girls fear of retribution. The whole incident was the final straw for Pinkel and the school. He broke in to get them.

He was not charged with anything. He was being investigated for a burglary. Police not pursuing.

That's odd. I received my information from an ABC news affiliate.

It was just the final straw in a string of events and I would think the administration didn't want to open this can of worms following the suicide death of the female athlete who had been sexually assaulted by a football player. But that's just my assumption.

The burglary issue must have been the forced unauthorized entry. He pushed his girlfriend's roommate down four stairs. It is patterned bad behavior. Reminds me a lot of Lawrence Philips of Nebraska. The Rams wasted a first round pick on him, and he never got it together. NFL teams do not forget this stuff either. Pinkel did the right thing. Mizzou may struggle to .500 this year but I am good with that. I love discipline...

Bingo! Ultimately players are the face of the institution they represent, whether that is a University or a professional franchise. The brand and the integrity of the institution comes first. Those universities and franchises that don't practice this usually wind up suffering long term for ignoring the damage to their image that one bad apple can create.

Jr, I think when the sports world showers these athletes with five stars, etc. it sometimes makes the kids feel way to important and bullet proof. I will take a two or three star recruit with an adequate amount of common sense any day.

I agree. And H.S. coaches that stroke their ego doesn't help either. They get them to believing that their high school team is only there to showcase them. By the time they get to college and have gotten a few headlines they believe it all the more.

I took a look at the article. I did not see where it says he was charged with two counts of battery or anything else. It says he was the subject of an investigation, which he was.

The television reporter said they were charged and then dropped. The article was from ESPN an ABC affiliate so I used it to back up what I originally said. Dropped or never charged he broke into a home and physically assaulted two women.

Actually they say at least three times that he was not charged and no charges were filed. They never say he was charged or that any charges were dropped. Let it go.

I reported what I heard on the news, and then posted the related ESPN article. It clearly states what happened. He got dismissed for it. End of story. It wasn't a burglary either. It would be classified as breaking and entering as there is no proof he entered with the intent to commit a crime, unless Missouri law defines it differently. Besides the story is only the last in a string of events that led to his dismissal.

So now you heard it on the news? Sure you did. You posted bogus information and I corrected it. That's the end of the story.

My initial post started "it was reported tonight" and it was on the ABC affiliate we listen to for the 10 o'clock news. You retorted that it was just a burglary. The ESPN piece covered the alleged assault that the news guy spoke of. This whole thing isn't worth the effort you've gone to or the time I'm taking. There must be something else here that doesn't meet the eye, or printed word.

We probably have not been told the whole story yet, and we may never know. This young man has real issues. Now he has ruined his stock as a probable first round draft pick. This stuff has already cost him future millions...
