FULMER CUP: POSSESSION RECEIVER!

Get it? Geddit?? The excellently named Bo Bowling, WR-Oklahoma State, has been hit with felony possession charges including the always-ominous "intent to distribute".

fuqmwaimrovnttw20080813214934

Bowling broke bad right as he was on the verge of making good:

He walked on at OSU in January 2008 and played in all 13 games as a slot receiver for the Cowboys.

He was expected to be given a scholarship following the 2008 season, in which he was fourth on the team in receiving yards with 10 catches for 200 yards and two touchdowns.

3 points awarded for now, with more being a near-certainty as "some of the items could not be identified and have been sent for testing, which could result in further charges." Aaaaand we apparently already awarded these points a couple weeks ago. Sorry, campers; it's early on the West Coast. But at least we got to make that awesome possession receiver joke, right? (Right?)

It's a I-AA story, but the arrest of an Austin Peay tight end for sexual battery deserves mention because the way the story is written makes it sound like there was a hand puppet involved:

"Mr. Peppers, after being told this three times, grabbed with his hand her buttocks," the warrant reads. "Mr. Peppers offered himself sexually to (the woman). She refused any sexual advances by Mr. Peppers."

In which we continue not to mention Carl Johnson. Early rumors on Gator boards that the charges were about to be dropped appear to have been just that. Details of the complaints against him are beginning to emerge and are pretty disturbing (although we're with Hinton in wondering how you date-rape the same person three times over a period of months and don't get reported).

Important to note that the rape/harassment allegations have yet to result in further criminal charges, but that restraining order had to exist for a reason. If even part of what's alleged turns out to be true, Johnson's a goner.

—Ask Orgeron. He date-raped Ole Miss for three years before finally being reported, so to speak.

“[he] grabbed with his hand her buttocks”

what? no mention of Oklahoma WR Bo Bowling’s arrest? is there a ban on reporting the bad and ugly about the OSU Cowboys?

Rumor has it that Carl Johnson and the girl broke off their relationship in January, and then she filed for the restraining order in February. Reportedly he had not been told that a restraining order had been filed, which makes it difficult comply. He was on a city bus and got off at the same stop without speaking to the girl. This one is going to be difficult to prosecute for the restraining order violation, let alone sexual assault.

by Kerwin4two on Feb 18, 2009 11:47 AM EST reply actions  

Here’s your mildly disturbing quote of the day: “Johnson claimed that a goal in life was to “shoot and kill someone,” the petition states.” well…. shit…. Someone please post a feel-good Tebow story STAT!!!!

Not included above for lack of desire to deal with the hatemail, but here’s something else that bothers me about the Johnson thing: “He had access to people who could physically harm me”…dude is 6’7". What, he’s too lazy to hit his own girlfriend? WHERE’S THE HUSTLE, GATOR NATION??

“University of Florida police arrested Gators offensive lineman Carl Johnson on Monday for violating a sexual violence restraining order, according to police records obtained by the Sentinel.”

Umm Holly sweetheart, when a warrant is filed for someone’s arrest that indeed means that a “charge has been made.” Not only was a warrant issued for Thug Johnson, but a Judge had to approve & sign off on the charges, and the arrest was made.

Sorry, that was unclear. No charges have been filed for the alleged rapes/harassment, is what I meant. But thanks for calling me sweetheart! It puts me in my place, AND makes me feel pretty.

Post updated to clarify. In exchange, I ask that you not begin comments with “Um”, because as far as we know no one on this board is a junior high school girl.

by Holly on Feb 18, 2009 12:01 PM EST reply actions  

Umm – Jort Hater – no. That is not how it is handled in Florida. (At least not here in South Florida). An arrest warrant isn’t issued by a Judge. All someone has to do is file an Affidavit (with the police) that the Restraining Order has been violated. The police can then arrest you for violating the Restraining Order. It is not handled by the Judge until First Appearance.

@17. No, because in your liberation, you would take that as a license to expose ankle…and, is that a ringlet I see coming unmoored from its bonnet?

by der schatten on Feb 18, 2009 12:32 PM EST reply actions  

Most rapes don’t get reported or charged because reliving the experience in a courtroom can be as bad or worse than the initial rape itself. Throw in having to testify against a popular athlete with the mass of UF athletic money behind him and a community that believes no Gator does wrong and it’s no surprise she elected not to file charges.

Don’t get me started on the local practice of “complimentaries” to individuals and businesses against whom Gator football players transgress. Or should I just ignore the primo seats Stan Forron suddenly had all season after the Tony Joiner incident?

There are few things more train-wreck-tastically satisfying to watch than a sarcastic accusation of wrongness from someone who turns out to be wrong himself . . . which actually begs the question of whether JortHater is really Lane Kiffin, but that’s another issue for another time, I guess.

Mr. Peppers, hahaha. Holly, you are hilarious! That totally does sound like a hand puppet. I wonder if he went with: “Let me get some of that brown sugar!” like GOB’s hand puppet, Franklin.

Although, in a more sinister sense, it also sounds like the real Mr. Peppers was trying to use that unwilling woman as a hand puppet.

“But thanks for calling me sweetheart! It puts me in my place, AND makes me feel pretty.”

Awesome, Holly, as usual.

Or, just Awesome Holly – take your pick.

OT… but not really.

While reading an article about Tiger Woods (of all things), I stumbled upon an ad for this:

http://shopping.msn.com/results/shp/?text=gary+barnett+signed+golf+ball,scId=11

Yes, you avid hyper text transfer protocol readers have it correct. For just $29.95, you can have a golf ball signed by none other than deposed Colorado head coach Gary Barnett. How aren’t these flying off the shelves???

I still have a problem with the violation of a restraining order one knew nothing about…its not like his whereabouts were unknown and he couldn’t be served…

This Chris Johnson business just goes to show you how far recruiting has fallen at Florida State. Johnson would’ve been a lock at FSU 10 years ago. They can’t even get someone who steals dead people’s credit cards these days. There’s no way they can land someone who not only has a sexual violence restraining order but somehow manages to violate it.

Good grief, how did we do that the first time without making a “possession receiver” joke? I’m ashamed.

Ladies and Gentlemen of this supposed jury, Carl Johnson is a lineman masher from Florida. But Carl lives in San Andreas. Now think about, that does not make sense!

by Brian O'Blivion on Feb 18, 2009 2:04 PM EST reply actions  

Let it be duly noted that the only charge currently pending against Mr. Jonhson is a misdemeanor. And what is up with the AP or who(m?)ever wrote the initial article on this situation…everywhere I read about it includes information about how many UF players have been arrested “in the previous ten months”…when did this become the critical cut-off timewise? Or is that the only way they can include the fact that the first arrest in that time period happened to a player that was kicked off UF’s team and has now signed with Ole Miss? These are the things I ponder while on cold medicine.

Well, when you’re allegedly date-raped by a 6’7" 350 lb. monster who “claimed that a goal in life was to ‘shoot and kill someone,’” I can see how you might not want to rile him up.

Johnson’s ex-girlfriend should be sure to put her gas card in a lock box. You know, just in case.
