FULMER CUPDATE: NO MANNER OF LUCK AT ALL

Highsierra5

Those grim, resigned doctors you see in the movies treating mobsters' wounds in backroom bars and abandoned meat lockers? They're apparently in short supply in Jonesboro, where Arkansas State's Paul Stephens had a bad, bad night:

A starting cornerback for the Arkansas State football team is in police custody, recovering from a gunshot wound to his midsection after a man said he shot an intruder trying to break into an apartment.
[...]
Red Wolves coach Steve Roberts issued a statement through Scott.

"I am aware of the situation involving Paul Stephens and continue to gather information surrounding the events that occurred this weekend," Roberts said. "As we get more information, we will take appropriate action. We wish Paul good health and a speedy recovery from his injury."

"Injury" doesn't really seem to cover it, does it? "Injury" implies some degree of accident, although we suppose it's appropriate insofar as Stephens didn't mean to get himself shot during an attempted burglary. "A speedy recovery from his larceny." There.

Because we sense there will be bonuses in the offing for sheer dumbassedness, points will be assessed upon the return of the Dear Leader.

You almost had me going there. EDSBS was sold to the Onion and your trying to convince us that Arkansas State is an actual university with and actual football team.

Good one! Almost had me, Holly.

Mr Stephens was innocently trying to find The Treasure of Sierra Jonesboro.

Hey, we’re the #2 team in the Sun Belt, which is like coming in second in a school for the bilnd shooting contest, but second nontheless…

Just an update, it appears burglary wasn’t the motive. Apparently Stephens and two other teammates, Leroy Trahan and Jarriel Norman, were trying to score some drugs at one house, no one was home and they decided to kick in the back door. The problem was, they kicked in the wrong door at the next door neighbor’s house. Needless to say, Trahan and Norman have also been kicked off the team by Steve Roberts. No charges at the moment but expect some any day.

Because College Football is too important to be left to the professionals.
