“It would be nice if people would stop at 'bad judgment' in regards to Clausen's summer transgression. That phrase covers it adequately. But the quarterback used the same language as his coach – ‘wrong place at the wrong time.’ That implies an accident. He was the driver of a fairly hearty beer and liquor run. Common sense should tell you that authorities don't smile upon that.”
First of all, Jimmy explicitly stated that he did in fact use bad judgment! His exact quote was “in regards to my recent legal issue, I used bad judgment.” What more do you want?! Second of all, of course he was in the wrong place at the wrong time! If he wasn’t, how would he have been caught? Every criminal who has ever been caught doing anything illegal was by default in the wrong place at the wrong time, you hack! Finally, I would hardly classify a case of Natty and a bottle of bottom-shelf vodka as a “hearty beer run,” unless of course I was trying to skew the facts to make the offense sound much worse than it actually was.
“Which flows nicely into the next point -- references to the ‘state of Indiana.’ The spin, taken up with gusto by fans with access to e-mail and the Internet, is that Clausen was clipped by an arcane law in a backward, overexuberant [sic] red state.Yet a minute of research reveals the existence of California vehicle code regulation 23224(a), which reads that, ‘No person under the age of 21 years shall knowingly drive any motor vehicle carrying any alcoholic beverage.’”
So let me get this straight… because there is a similar law in a state that elected a cybernetic assassin from the future to its highest office, we’re supposed to take that as proof that this law is not ridiculous? Did you know that another California law states that “no vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour”? The kid was given a citation for having a case of beer in his car, even though the 23 year old who legally bought it was in the car with him! If that’s not arcane, then what is?!
Jeff Carroll, you sir are an asshat of the highest degree. I’m simply amazed that you’ve been able to bite the hand that feeds you for so long without any serious repercussions. I can’t imagine that Charlie will allow you to continue your vendetta much longer before cutting you off entirely.
