PJ Star article- Taylor Brown

Nacho said:
I don't disagree too much with this, and I could be wrong, but in our local paper in Springfield, any news story that is added to the site starts on the front page and then slowly gets weeded out to the back backs... unless it is added in the middle of the night as it will match the printed paper as to where it is located...

With newspapers struggling right now, the updated webiste information seems to be the way most are going...

I just checked and it is still on the front page but has been bumped down by the stories that have been added since then... and it appears it will be off the front page once one more story is added... Not trying to split hairs here... I promise:!:

That can't be the way it works, because there's an article posted 15 minutes ago about motorcyclist Henry Wiles returning to Peoria next year. That article is already down in the Sports section.....not the lead story of the website! There's no way I'm going to believe the pjs cannot pick and choose where they place certain articles no matter when they're posted.

You are correct, they can place it where ever they want... but if it is MAJOR news- it stays as the headline for days, not just a few hours...

If you were the PJS- would you have placed it on the front page?

No. It was a college "fight" that happened to involve a basketball player. I would've put it at the top of the sports section and let it get bumped down as other stories were posted.

I'm curious as to why the B/N paper doesn't run front-page stories every week or so about the apparent inability of the isu players/coaches to operate a motor vehicle properly and legally and the constant court appearances that result, that is when they don't fail to appear.

Does a traffic ticket (violation) = a misdemeanor? Not very often...

Does driving without your seatbelt or without your insurance card = battery? Not very often...

Obviously they are different charges! However, it seems to be a recurring event among isu's basketball program and I just thought maybe the local paper would have mentioned something about it. I'm pretty sure the pjs would have found a way to get that information to the general public if it involved the Bradley basketball program. Maybe they can get a group discount on auto insurance. The player that most feel is the best in the league is responsible for over $750 in fines alone and another player is right behind him in that category.

I clearly have no way of knowing that answer unless I am the person in question- which I am clearly not...

Isn't it common that ICC students hang out around BU? He was apparently at the BU soccer game so he does hang out at BU events. I am sure there are several ICC students that hang out at BU. TB and this person have a mutual friend, so maybe he was going to see him? No one will probably ever know why he was there... and BTW- 11:30pm is not "late on a Saturday" on a college campus... 3am is "late"

It's really not that common for ICC students to be on BU's campus. Especially at 11:30 outside an ATHLETES ONLY facility. No one can go in Haussler except athletes, not even students unless they have special permission. The only buidling in the vicinity that is open to the public is the library. And it is quite a ways from Haussler...

I think someone posted a few threads back that there was a frat party at the facility... or something like that...

Hey he was being "dissed".....sigh.


its EXACTLY why we should not cast stones at others (programs) for DUI's...speeding tickets...no valid drivers licsense's or anything else.

NO program is immune from this stuff and, quite frankly, BU has had MORE then thier fair share of this unacceptable type behavior.

You beat me to it Dog. When will these kids ever learn they have it made.

This IS NOT TRUE.....you are completely re-wording things...

we know NOTHING of TB going out of his way...
he has every right to be at Macy's, I've been there many times for gosh sakes. Was I going out of my way???
He was also at a BU soccer game and at Haussler Hall....so tell me just WHO is going out of his way to make sure he's in the presence of Taylor Brown??
It is certainly more "way out of his way" for an ICC student to be at Haussler and at a soccer game than for TB to be there. In fact TB BELONGS there!!

So it sounds to me like the ICC guy is the one going OUT OF HIS WAY to be sure something was going to happen here...and check the comments of this blogger as to just who may have had an agenda??
Just another's thoughts


BTW-- it was Levi Dyer's DUI that took 4 months for the press or the university to make mention of, and even then, kinda only because of the legal dispostion being reported on a message board.
then Sampay's way also reported and discussed first on a message board before the press discussed, and then the school confirmed it only after both the boards and the press began asking questions.
In the end, neither missed a game, a practuice, a workout, or anything.
And one starter on another instate MVC school actually played in a tournament game last year,
the very day he was in court for underage drinking..and never missed a game any time at all.



Lastly--


BUB05-- Haussler still stands behind the Markin Center...so they are talking about Haussler not Markin.

The other guy had every right to be at his job didn't he? TB has every right to be in Macy's but not to stare at an individual, which is a form of imtimidation. And since when can't the general public attend BU soccer games?
 
you have a strange way of defending your statements by defending something totally different and unrelated.

You were the one who twice said TB was in the wrong by being at Macy's and "staring at the guy"

you said it in this post-
"If you worked at a public place like Macy's and..someone.... came into your place of work to stare at you
... that could be considered stalking or threatening.."
http://bradleyfans.com/vb/showthread.php?p=139880#post139880

and again in this post-
"...that TB was at this guys place of work (Macy's) and... the police were called.."
http://bradleyfans.com/vb/showthread.php?p=139858#post139858

then your explanation of why you think that was wrong on TB's part is to say...
"The other guy had every right to be at his job didn't he? "


of course....but Taylor Brown has every legal right to be at Macy's and to stare at anything he wants...
in fact I suspect Macy's loves to have people come in and stare....so how in creation can that be construed as illegal or threatening...
sounds a little bit babyish on the part of the accuser...a little paranoid...maybe even a little bit made-up and exaggerated.



personally I think the degree to which these allegations appear to have been inflated and exaggerated....and yet still sound pretty paltry and weak...make me, again, think there's an agenda.
 
Actually, Driving on a suspended or revoked license is a misdemeanor and would get pretty much the same sentence as what a misdemeanor battery would get. Pay a little fine and your out the door, maybe a few hours community service.

If this little battery seems like a big thing, a star player at a University close to us has been ticketed 9 times (7 court dates) in the last 2 years. This last issue may result in his license getting suspended. In fact the whole team has about 20 tickets in the last 2 years. I think I would rather have a little misdemeanor battery over a minor disagreement than have a whole team of thugs that have a complete disregard for the public and the way they drive.

Sorry, but it's one of my favorite bands:) I put this up when everyone was yapping over WE's knee injury last year and it was deleted. Looking forward to a great season from Taylor this year. The band "Talking Heads" -

I like it BURick! I like it so much I was singing and dancing to it in the shower and my wife caught me and said WHAT the HELL:-o
Take me to the river, dunk me in the water:cool::lol::lol:
 
Many of you seem to be apologists for violent behavior. I know from past experience that many of you do not appreciate hearing dissenting opinions and often delete such posts as a matter of course. However, I would point out, that if BU players lose their cool on the floor and start punching opposing players who call them names, we would have a huge problem and lots or Ts. I would hope Braves would be held to a higher standard of conduct.:?
 
I would certainly hope that wouldn't happen LOL. It's already happened once this season in college football and Oregon set the bar by banning the player for the whole season.

Most of us are guys and understand what happens when you are young and dumb and full of raging testosterone. I'm not saying it is right what happened but things like this happens mostly with young male adults. Why do you think our drinking age is such? It's not that we are any smarter it's just that men learn how to deal with their emotions a bit more as we age.

Some even forget how they behaved back when and try to act morally above the fray. I saw a few split lips in my days and I never once saw anyone call the cops, especially if one went looking for it. I'm totally against violence of any shape or form but a man has to be able to defend his honor and who are we to be sitting high and mighty dispensing our morality regarding a situation where all the details have not been established, less publicized. If you believe everything you hear and read in the papers/media then there is no way I could reason with you anyway. There's a lot more to this then any of us will probably know and I for one believe the PJS should not have made this front and center without all the facts. Newspapers use to strive to cover the facts in its entirety and not go into sensationalism.
