FRED ROUSE: STARRING IN LEON COUNTY PENAL LEAGUE

by Orson on May 31, 2006 9:01 AM EDT

Fred Rouse continues his ongoing "my life as performance art" bit by getting arrested in Leon County for burglary of dwelling while unarmed with no assault or battery, drug possession of a controlled substance without prescription, and grand theft. (HT: The Wiz.) Prior to his career as an urban prospector, Rouse's on-sidelines, on-camera row with Florida State coaches summed up his brief career as a Seminole, excepting his trashing of Bobby Bowden following the 34-7 collapse to the Gators in the Swamp. (This almost made us like him. Almost.) Rouse then got the boot from Tallahassee, a feat accomplished by few since Randy Moss shot a nun in the face in the middle of campus and laughed about it while shooting cocaine into his eyeball to earn his exit. *

Rouse roused to robbery.

Scout had this to say about pre-felony Rouse:

Rouse could be the top receiver from the state of Florida over the past few seasons. The bottom line is that Fred Rouse is a difference maker and a potential franchise player at the receiver position.

Yep. So much for that .

* Moss did not do this. The victim in fact was former FSU coach Brad Scott, and Moss celebrated by having a teammate shoot yopo into his nose with a blowgun.

What a waste. No Fulmer Cup points for anybody.

When you’re born on the set of Menace II Society, what do you expect?
He was truly one of the great ones.

Apparently per ESPN it wasn’t just Rouse, it was also his boy A.J. Nicholson, who as you recall allegedly ‘raped’ someone on the bowl trip.

Not to pick on the Noles (well, ok maybe a little), but considering there were two players from last year’s team arrested there should be SOME points awarded. Especially since it involved robbing a current player on the team. 3 players involved x 3 felonies = 9 divided by 2 since Rouse and AJ are gone = 4.5 points. Go ahead and round down to 4 just to be kind. LOL.

Rouse deserves a bonus point for leaving his personalized recieving glove at the scene. If someone takes him on as a transfer, points should be transfered there.

The Bengals are by far the Fulmer Cup Champs of the NFL. Chris Henry, Odell Thurman, and Nicholson. Wow.

The pro version would be the Davis Cup, but that’s taken, so we’ll have to go with the Billick Cup.

Whatever you call it, the Bengals have a commanding lead for ’06.

he was a menace at lincoln high school and all he did was whine during practice. i played with him and he was a problem to the whole team and he was the only one that could get away with doing drugs with no punishment from the coaches.
