Everyday Should Be Saturday

A BEAVER OFFERS CABBIE WEED. BEAVER. YES, I JUST GIGGLED TYPING THAT.

Another high-scorer on our favorites list just earned himself another stripe in our ranking of favorite college athletes. First, his name is Jimtavis Walker, which as we discussed previously, fits all of the requirements for having a truly sensational college football name.

Second, an incident with a cabbie in Corvallis-they have cabs in Corvallis?-shoots Jimtavis into our upper echelon of all we love and respect about the college game. Gifted? I’ll let the evidence speak for itself:

“It was obvious they had been drinking, and they were quite unruly,” the driver said, adding that Walker threw a hamburger at him after the players left the cab. The driver said that after Walker berated him, Walker “lit up a joint.”
The driver said Paddock pushed him and slammed the door of the cab on his knee. He said he had a bruised right shoulder and a scar on his knee from the incident. He said the players also took his clipboard, which contained approximately $52 in charge slips from previous fares, plus his itinerary and other information.

At least he had the sense to take a cab. Beavers, drinking, heavy machinery…danger, people, danger.

We here at ESBS.com have our soft spots. We all do, really: my mom (trail mix,) Stranko (long foreign films,) Kim Jong-Il (nukes and cognac.) One of our favorite soft spots is for flamboyantly felonious athletes; not just those who break the law, but those who go above and beyond the call of duty and ensure themselves at least a five game suspension for atrocious behavior.

Which brings us to Taurean Charles, the redshirt junior linebacker from the University of Florida who got into a fist fight with another student at an off-campus party. Details vary from story to story, but here’s two you may want to tuck away for future use.

1. Taurean hit a guy on a deck, and the man ended up on the ground.

2. Taurean tossed a keg of beer at the man after punching him off a deck.

That’s finishing a fight Road House style. Read more about it here.
