Ugh. Bye Bye Masoli

[LetsGoGiants!]

Oregon is slowly falling apart.

[YAYareaRB]

The New Thug U?

[wonderbredd24]

Oregon is slowly falling apart.

There's nothing slow about it

[diabsoule]

WTF is up w/ Oregon?

[niel89]

As a college football fan this makes me sad. He was a dynamic player on the field but you can't do stuff like this. It was fun watching you play.

As a Stanford fan though :D

[Prowler]

Oregon is a great place to be and has beautiful facilities. cut him and move on. other players will come and take his spot. don't risk any type of violation.

[Romarville]

As a UW fan, I can't help but snicker. However, we just got a player kicked off indefinitely for beating another kid up, so what can I say? Basically, college kids do dumb stuff.

[tjsunstein]

Such a dumb thing to do. So dumb. I hope he learned something from this.

[JoeJoeBrown]

Oregon sounds like a great campus. On the other hand, it sounds like the football team has brought in some serious thugs. Hopefully Kelly will clean house.

[OregonDucks]

Yeah I myself am sick! This is crazy, we could be without and should be without james and masoli next season. Im sure glad we got Lache! Him and Barner should do real well back there.

Especially Jerramy Stevens.

[RealityCheck]

My god. UO is cursed.

[LonghornsLegend]

Oregon is on a roll this off-season.

[Babylon]

Especially Jerramy Stevens.

That was about 10 years ago. The Dawgs stopped recruiting the best available felons decades ago.

[iworshipbender]

Yeah, Masoli needs to go. James' punishment won't be harsh because he's just going to be charged with one count of physical harassment and nothing else so he might be back for the Tennessee game which is looking mighty scary.

I'm really interested to see if Nate Costa will finally get his chance or if Darron Thomas will be given his shot to control this team for the next three years.

[benchod]

James got 10 days in jail by agreeing to a plea deal.

He probably won't get a suspension.

[OregonDucks]

And 24 months probation. He served two days in jail after the arrest so he has 8 days to go, but he most likely wont spend any time in jail due to overcrowding. Masoli is all but gone, they cleaned out his locker on thursday morning.

[Prowler]

**** that....10 days in jail for choke tossing a girlfriend to the ground because she wanted to be confrontational and then taking the keys to his ride? bruises heal, if that was a man then this wouldn't have even been brought to court.

i'm fully against abusing women, but if she's harassing and scaring his ''guest'', staying in his face, and grabbing his keys.....what do you think is going to happen to you? did she admit any kind of guilt in failing to defuse the situation? or does she get to play the victim of an abusive cheating boyfriend?

again, he's wrong for potentially 'cheating'/talking to another woman and for actually throwing her down. but still, if you get in somebody's face and escalate the situation, then you are part of the problem.

did this really need the attention of our legal system? he was probably cheating...you are angry....you got tossed....get over it.

*disclaimer* i haven't seen the extent of her injuries, so if it was something more than just scrapes and bruises that fade in a day or two then i'll be more in favor of her argument.

[iowatreat54]

Hahaha yea, a girl getting tossed by a guy who is probably twice her size just for screaming "in his face" is totally ok....

Even if she slapped him or something, it's still hilarious that he felt the need to throw her down or grabbing her by the throat and throwing her or whatever. Way to be a big man, guy.

[Prowler]

don't start something you can't finish. if she wants to cut his balls off then its understandable. when she breaks his chain and then grabs his keys and wants to do some kinda 4th grade keep away game then don't be surprised if he wrestles her to the ground and prys his keys back. if you willingly engage in childish behavior then don't submit a police report and send the other guy to jail for 10 days and 2 years probation while you admit zero guilt.

[iowatreat54]

Flawless logic. Absolutely flawless.

So if someone takes your keys, you have every right to do physical harm to them? Even moreso if they are half your size. Yes, and she's the immature one...

Unless she does physical harm to you or is about to, there is absolutely no reason you should ever hit or do physical harm to a woman. None. Idc if she takes your **** or is in your face screaming. If she takes something, like your car keys, and won't give them back, you don't hit her.

[CashmoneyDrew]

Suspended for the whole 2010 season.

[mellojello]

Probably good for Cal...

You keep coming back to her size, if she were the same size as the average male would it be okay? Or would it still be wrong just because she's a woman?

[iowatreat54]

You keep coming back to her size, if she were the same size as the average male would it be okay? Or would it still be wrong just because she's a woman?

There's probably a 99% chance she is smaller than a D1 college football player.

Even if she was his size or bigger, I still think it would be wrong to hit her or do anything like throwing her down.

However, I'm also under the belief that if someone steals your keys and yells at you, male or female, you are an idiot if you hit them.

So yes, if she was his size or bigger, and all she did was take his keys, or break his chain, or yell at him, whereas none of those things put him or anyone in any sort of immediate harm, then he should never have laid a hand on her and absolutely deserves his punishment.

dude i didn't see in that police report any quote saying that ''james in a blind fury threw her down and ruthlessly beat her.'' they were both childish and now one person has a criminal record and the other person doesn't.

it said ''physically removed her from the door'' ''grabbed her by the collar and pushed her against the car'' he then basically tackled her in mulch and pried his keys out of her hands, ''ending physical contact.''
i see two ways of responding here:

1) ''physical harm'', seriously? this is america. do you really believe our court system did justice by giving him 10 days in jail and 2 years probation for moving her twice and tackling her? this reminds me more of a messed up version of merriman/tequila incident.

2) we all have ingrained beliefs of not harming women and i understand that. this is a domestic incident and should be treated as a quarreling couple, not some kind of battery. this is bordering on sexist against men and using personal assumptions about womanizing athletes to cloud what happened here.

we're at risk to thinking the worst about athletes every time we see their name associated with something like this. most of the time we're right, but i can see how its wrong here.

again, i'll repeat my disclaimer from before. i haven't witnessed photos of her after the incident. if she has any type of bruises or marks that didn't fade away within 24 hours then i could come around to why the police became involved in this.

but again, was this worth sending a man to jail, no matter how short the stay(if any). could she have just walked away?

I guess here is where we disagree, I'd punch a lot of people for stealing my keys. If that person was also getting in my face and antagonizing me. At least in certain situations, not always, but I don't take to kindly to people stealing my **** in general. I think he's wrong for choke slamming the girl just because I'm a sap and have a strong protective impulse, but she does bear at least some of the responsibility for creating the situation that lead to the choke slam and I do think the 2 years of probation and 10 days in jail is excessive.

[Romarville]

Something tells me that Masoli isn't going to sit out all of next year. If Blount can come back after what he did, why shouldn't Masoli? Half way through the season Chip Kelly will say that he's learned his lesson and paid his dues.

That's fair.

I'm not saying it's wrong if other people want to punch people. I just personally wouldn't.

However, if you are going to hit someone or whatever, you really have no reason to ***** about getting in trouble/punished for it, which is what was said in the post I originally responded to.

She is responsible for part of the situation, however nothing she did was illegal (that we know of), whereas what he did was. He deserves his punishment, was my point.

Alot of females bear responsibility in domestic dispute cases, probably more then half, that's not disputed. Still the law isn't very forgiving about situations like that, and whether she started it, provoked it, made it worse, pushed you continually, if you put your hands on a woman your going to jail 9 times out of 10. The 1 instance you probably won't is if you happened to call the police first, or if you had a black eye or visible bruise when they showed up but it's still not for sure.



Sucks, but that's how it works in these cases. This has been going on for a long time. I'm in no way shape or form an apoligist for woman beaters or men who put their hands on women at all, but there really isn't an explanation to give the police about why you forcefully put your hands on a woman to keep you from going to jail.

[Rosebud]

Theft is illegal. I understand holding him accountable for what he did but that's an awfully heavy punishment and the fact that she was not punished as well just makes it more unpleasant. I'm not really arguing anything just lamenting about a disheartening situation.

I agree. While what she probably did wasn't right, or in fact "stealing" of like $4 in property, he overreacted. Unless, like I said before, she was doing something more that was causing harm to him.

However, from what has been said/reported, while she instigated the "fight", there's no reason he should have acted the way he did. But he did, and he got punished for it.

Could it have been handled without the police? Probably. But to act like she was wrong for calling the police after what he reportedly did is ridiculous.

Keys usually come with cars and most cars cost more than $4 dollars, but I get your point. What's wrong isn't getting the police involved it's the punishment, it just does not fit the crime, getting your keys back from a person who's taken them from you shouldn't equal 10 days in jail and 2 years on parole unless you really get hardcore with it.

Well, yea cars are more expensive, but she stole his keys not the car, so she wouldn't get charged with auto theft. ;)

But yes, I agree, that the punishment probably doesn't fit. I don't know all the details, or if he had any prior incidents or whatever, so I really can't say.

However, the original post I contended basically blamed her for getting the police involved, and then leading to this punishment. I mean, if anything, the police and the court are more to blame than her. Even if they were called, they could have handled it without arresting him if it wasn't that bad, or the court could have sentenced him lighter.

But to blame her for just calling the cops in a situation that is perfectly justifiable to do so is absurd.

[Brent]

wait, so what happened to that tall, lanky white guy who played QB before Masoli who got hurt?

[jayceheathman]

It's pathetic how Garrett Embry gets charged for the same crime and gets kicked off the team for good, but Masoli only misses a season.

[Jersey/B]

Some bitches are crazy. I bet he told her to chill plenty of times.

[Whistler6]

I would rather be mediocre with players I can rally behind and enjoy watching because they are "good" people than win with guys like this. Unfortunately that's rarely the case... Everyone has skeletons and I'm no one to judge, but as a fan I wouldn't want him back.

There is no way you can apologize your way out of a suspension after pleading guilty to a 2nd degree misdemeanor burglary. He has a long road ahead if he wants to gain the public's trust back. I wish him well and hope he makes the necessary changes but for the right reasons.

[iworshipbender]

He transfered to Montana.

[iworshipbender]

Garrett Embry was dismissed for "violating team rules" I think. Whatever that means, it was in addition to the robbery.

Doubt it. Blount's incident was an on field incident and no crime was committed. Two totally differant cases.

Oregon is going to have to decide what type of recruits they are going to let in there. This is becoming a serious embarrassment to the University. This is somewhat amusing to us on a football level but you know the state and school officials have to be fuming.

I do agree with you about the two being different cases since Blount's moment of craziness was not charged as a crime. But, that was nationally televised and consequently well covered by the media. I don't think Masoli or James' incidents will receive 1/10th of the coverage Blount's did. Therefore, I expect to see Chip Kelly lose a couple games to start, then give in to bringing Masoli back.

[thetedginnshow]

A lot of my friends are excited because this is UW's chance to do big things.

That simply won't happen. Masoli is lucky that he was able to plead down to a misdemeanor or Oregon would have taken his scholarship away. It's not like Masoli has a bunch of scrubs behind him. Nate Costa and Darron Thomas have the tools to run this offense well enough that there shouldn't be much concern. The only thing that has changed is Oregon went from surefire favorites in the Pac-10 to on par with USC to start the season. Besides Masoli, no one of any impact has been suspended for the season or let go.

Also, I wouldn't start getting excited yet, Husky fans. Jake Lockers's career mark against the Ducks is 0-3. This is the exact same defense Locker was horrific against last year. Plus, the game is at Autzen. The last time he played there, he was thrown around like a rag doll.

Plus Chip Kelly suspended blount indefinetly, masoli was suspended specifically for the season, so no he will not be playing at all next year.

Yeah, Masoli needs to go. James' punishment won't be harsh because he's just going to be charged with one count of physical harassment and nothing else so he might be back for the Tennessee game which is looking mighty scary.

I'm really interested to see if Nate Costa will finally get his chance or if Darron Thomas will be given his shot to control this team for the next three years.

Awe, that's sweet of you to say Bender, but you don't have to say that for our sakes. It's in Knoxville, right? Normally, I'd think the intimidation of our crowd can affect a inexperienced QB, but if he's used to Autzen, I dunno if Neyland will affect him. The game should be closer, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Well, it will be Darron Thomas' first game in front of a hostile crowd. Playing at Autzen with the crowd behind him, playing at WSU in a game that ended up like 63-17, and one pass against Oregon State isn't going to prepare him for Neyland properly.

[jballa838]

What's hilarious is the amount of Pro-Oregon propaganda that came out when he was first charged... "He'll be acquitted." "That police report is false, he has not been charged." "Masoli can do no evil."

It's just kinda nice it got turned around and the truth came out.

[iworshipbender]

Guilty until proven innocent in the eyes of husky fans.

Brilliance. I really like the rumor going around that Masoli is going to burn his redshirt while be "suspended". If this is true, it's a hell of a message to give the kid, Kelly.
