What the cops saw: car removed from impound lot w/o authorization = second degree felony.

What Urban Meyer saw: player out past curfew = run me some laps.

These charges will be dropped, I guaranteeeeee u.

Watson will become an honorary Bull Gator.

I can just hear the phone conversation now:
Lot attendant: “That colored guy that we just had arrested is Tony Joiner”
Owner: “I don’t care if he’s Jeb Bush”
Lot attendant: “But …….”
Owner: ” Shit !!! you mean TONY JOINER ??”
Attendant: “Yeah, the bawl player”
Owner: ” SHit .. umm .. yeah … tell the cops we had an arrangement to pick up the car, and you fucked it up.”
Attendant:” But ….”
Owner: “YOU FUCKED IT UP”

I’d be willing to wager my next paycheck the employees or owner of that towing company will have some nice seats in the swamp for at least the rest of this season. Something is rotten in Gainesville.

Rumor has it that Kyle Jackson actually was trying to get the car out of impound but he took the wrong angle and missed the gate altogether– leaving Joiner as the fall guy.

One of the towing services in State College, PA is “Walk’s Towing”. I’m sure it’s just a family surname, but whatever. Fucking insulting, anyway.

#52 – like he did with Marcus Thomas? ‘Cause MT played all season last year, has the rings, etc.?

was just thinking… he’s not going to get charged with burglary, and he likely won’t get charged with anything. if they decide to charge him, the most they could actually pin is trespass, and those are next to impossible to prove. so it’s not a winnable situation, especially since all the tow truck company wants is their money, and all tony wants is to go free.

Damn, I saw that Florida Today headline and even commented on it, but didn’t bother to read the article. Haha!

The most ridiculous thing about the story is the justice system — the DA and police can insist on punishment even when the victim doesn’t give a damn. The state demands that you follow the law.

But I won’t muck up this great comedy blog with philosophy!

Too bad it’s not a drug offense. Urbs would just give him piss tests until he passed and then let him play.

Meanwhile, Darren McFaddin’s car remains untowed but absolutely rimmed.

So nice of Watson’s owner to extend a laurel and hardy handshake to Joiner’s ‘get the fuck off da hook’ campaign. I expect the favor to be granted retroactively and going forward precisely 0 times to other ‘customers’.

It is the law in Gainesville that all towing companies monitor their phones 24 hours and that a car be available for pickup within one hour of their being called. Reports are that he called the dispatcher at the towing company and when he showed up to pay there was no one there. Looks like he sat around a while as the employee left and got a bite to eat, so they did not fulfill their obligation. I think the owner would prefer to handle this outside the legal system or he may end up being fined.

Yeah, it’s getting blown out of the original context, I mean, most people show up to pay their parking tickets at 4:30 am right?

Herban should have sent him a text message saying “bad idea”.

Or, during the regular season we could honor Bobby Bowdin and create an award category. After all, I cannot remember any one coach having so many convicts on only team (college that is)…Just a thought!
