A Gator fan complaining about how Georgia Bulldogs fans are responding with him at the center of an investigation implicating (allegedly) one of their own...
The prized running back Todd Gurley who has, apparently, signed his collegiate life away by being very sloppy is now and forever a victim in his fans' eyes. Now northwest Georgia memorabilia dealer Bryan Allen is holed up in his suburban Atlanta home...
Probably locked in there forever...

So, now we have police involved and Allen not necessarily on the run... just locked in place with a high-profile attorney...
And the harassment will continue for quite a while...

OSG High: Sayreville High FB Season Cancelled Amid Bullying Scandal
((HT: NJ.com/Stanmyre))
The HQ is (at the same time) disgusted, not surprised, and pretty pissed at what seems to be going down at Sayreville High In New Jersey at present.
The football team has won three titles in the last four years- but they won't win one this season since the school superintendent suspended the rest of their schedule (and the schedules of the middle school and junior varsity squads as well) after an investigation found:
"there was enough evidence to substantiate there were incidents of harassment, intimidation and bullying that took place on a pervasive level, on a wide-scale level, and at a level in which the players knew, tolerated and in general accepted."
Here's the latest from the high school
So we have alleged hazing that was out of control and, in a separate investigation, a coach resigned amid allegations of steroid possession.
Nice...
The investigation is ongoing and Sayreville's coaches and other school personnel are being told not to comment on a matter that is under review.

DEVELOPING: Dolphins Fire OL Coach Turner And Trainer O'Neill As Incognito Fallout Continues...
You figured something like this would be happening sooner or later...
The buck stops where...???
Apparently, the Dolphins offensive line as the team has fired OL coach Jim Turner and head trainer Kevin O'Neill as part of the Richie Incognito fallout...
Here's part of the statement by the team:
“The language and behavior as described in the Ted Wells report are against the core values of our organization,” Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said in a statement. “After receiving the report, I conducted my own internal review of the facts to determine the appropriate steps for our organization. Jim Turner and Kevin O’Neill are good people who care a great deal about their profession and the players whom they serve, but both exhibited poor judgment at times which led me to this conclusion. As owner, I know firsthand of the high-character and dedicated professionals in our building. I believe in our team and know the hard work and sacrifices they make every day on the field and in the community.”
O'Neill had been with the team for 18 years and Turner for 2. Ross went on to call the entire saga a "teaching moment."
Here's head coach Joe Philbin's statement:
“As the Head Coach of the Miami Dolphins, it is my responsibility to create an atmosphere that allows each player the opportunity to reach his full potential. As Stephen Ross said, and I agree, the language and behavior outlined in Ted Wells’ report was disappointing and unacceptable. Since I first arrived in Miami, it has been my goal to have a team which honors our proud tradition and represents our fan base the right way both on and off the field. It is not possible for a team to accomplish its goals when the fundamental values of respect are violated. That ultimately rests on my shoulders and I will be accountable moving forward for making sure that we emphasize a team-first culture of respect towards one another."
The HQ still wonders how Philbin was unaware...

OSG High: Haiku Gets FB Player Kicked Off Team, And Then, Not...
((HT: WJW-TV))
Nick Andre was a starting DE for his high school for Rittman (OH) High and his team was in the end of a 1-7 season...
He was asked to write a poem on something in class and Andre took on the ideas of the cliques of his team and its problems. After the peom was read aloud in class the administration felt that they had decided that Andre "Wrote a mean and disrespectful poem about another student and our athletic director/head coach." The principal classified the poem as “hazing, harassment.”
As a result, Andre was suspended for four days and everyone started screaming from the high heavens that the school was wrong in what they did...
Here's the explanation...
Strangely enough, after everyone started taking the school to task for violating Andre's First Amendment rights of free speech, the superintendent of the Rittman School District says the suspension has been overturned, and the junior defensive end has been reinstated to the football team.
Shocking, I know...

Rockets Jones Pleads Not Guilty To Stomping
((HT: KGW-TV))
Houston Rockets forward Terrence Jones pleaded not guilty to harassment after he was arrested for stomping on a sleeping homeless man.
Early Wednesday morning around 2AM (and we'll remind you what we say about early morning stuff...), a police officer said he saw a group of people leaving a local Portland nightclub.
The officer watched Jones walk by a doorway where two homeless men were sleeping. The officer said Jones yelled “wake up” and then stomped on one of the men’s legs. Police contacted Jones and took him into custody.
The victim, 46-year-old Daniel Kellerher, had a minor leg injury, but didn't need any further medical attention.
Jones appeared in court Wednesday afternoon where he pleaded not guilty...
Here's the latest out of Portland...
Way to go, genius...
