His family doesn't like her because they were trying to get him to go pro last year and she was the one who wisely convinced him to stay because she thought it was in his best long term interest to get his degree. Doesn't sound much like a gold digger to me. Couples get in arguments and foolish spats from time to time. Never should it get to the point where police are involved though!

"The things we argue over." Amen. If it isn't one thing, someone who is unhappy and wants to argue will find something else.

Having said that, we are gradually switching over to LED bulbs. Supposedly they last 22 years. And supposedly an LED bulb putting out 100W worth of incandescent light only takes 15W. Technology.

Have you checked your house for power spikes?  The only LEDs I've ever had burn out were from a power arc in our box.

Most people have surge protectors on their major electronics, but now you can have hundreds of dollars of light bubls installed, all of which are a nearby lightning strike away from getting fried.

buying the "cheap" ones from Menards or something. We put thousands of these things in and rarely have a problem. Sure, there's always defects in any production line but burning out is a real rarity. Breaking because of an assembly flaw is much more common. The LED can trims are damn near bullet proof.*

*Not actually bulletproof. Never fire a gun at an LED can trim.

I've only recently (past year or so) started the conversion over to LED, but I've been pleased. 

 

THe only time I've had an issue is when I tried to go cheap on an off-name LED. I won't do that again. Go with a Cree, Phillips, or GE.

 

 Also the better brand names normally give you a warranty with their bulbs too, meaning if they do burn out, you get a free replacement...

I was walking my dog one night in NYC, and I saw a guy carrying a bag with a woman following him and yelling. he had left her. she began punching him, hit him in the face a couple of times, and he didn't retaliate. literally 10 seconds after punching him in the face , she tries to pull his bag away. At this moment , a cop pulls up, stops them, and listens to both stories. I see the guy get cuffed so I walk over and share what I saw. The cops have an incredibly hard time deciphering what is true and untrue, and the stories being told to them are wildly different. Moral of the story , both sides are probably giving parts of the truth, but we weren't there and may never know exactly what happened. I am staunchly against any form of violence or aggression of any sort against women. I'm also against litigating someone on a message board. Obviously this pertains to us as fans, but we aren't the ones to decide what happened here...

But seriously, sounds like roid rage, but he doesn't look juiced up. Guess he's like a grizzly, don't poke him when he's sleeping. Very, very poor choice and lack of self control, especially given what's ahead of him/them assuming they stay together. On the plus side, at least she wasn't seriously harmed physically and he walked away before it got completely out of hand. Unfortunately this type of behavior is rarely an isolated event and he needs counseling asap.

Co-habing with girlfriends at college probably seems like a good idea to 18-22 year old guys. I mean, just look at the great benefits, right?

But nobody ever tells these young dudes about all of the risks. All of them.  And there's a lot.

Just don't do that. 

It's almost never worth it.

come home, find lights on, wake up partner, fight...vs...come home, find lights on, turn lights​ off, go to sleep...hmm...everyone knows if you want to control a man's life, you don't pick fights over utilities; you pull the goalie.

The ones I feel sorry for are the ladies who really are raped or assaulted, not to say she wasn't, who get treated like the villain because of these women crying wolf.

to ensure that he wasn't damaging anything? What a ridiculous thing to do and a flat out lie. She went to confront him some more. Other than the pillow throwing, I see nothing here. Jourdan's version makes way more sense and follows a reasonable time line. It appears that he was trying to remove himself from the situation and that she wasn't going to allow that. He then uses a little force to get away and has the police called. I find myself feeling sorry for Jourdan and it has nothing to do with his status as an athelete.

through a decision by the county prosecutor to charge Jourdan with something or not to prosecute, I think this is just a private matter that unfortunately became public with a police report that always makes for an interesting narrative, but usually fais to tell the whole story very accurately.

Whatever the full story is, prejudging it based on the policre report makes little sense. It sounds to me as if there is more to this than an argument stemming from anger over a  light being left on and who would have to pay the light bill because of extra wattage.  Whether an assault ensued I guess depends on whether you feel qualified to interpret what both Jourdan and his roomate told police as their side of the story.

I think we do know something about the character of Jourdan Lewis during his time in school and his tenure on the football team and what others think of  him. I tend to believe in him based on that than anything thet may have happened in this unfortunate incident.

She was crying wolf and my comment got deleted. Shit didn't make sense then, now even more so. She wanted to fight with him, then she calls the police with no injuries. Stupid.

is a real problem that occurs much more frequently than commonly believed and never gets much press. Women, even smallish women, can do real harm to men who are unwilling to use force to defend themselves. Further, although it didn't seem to occur in this case, female on male assaults are more likely to involve weapons. The automatic assumption that in a male female dispute the male is always the aggressive instigator and the female is by definition the victim is unwarranted unless well supported by evidence.

None of us know what happened here. No visible injuries to either party makes it difficult to view this as a real attack by either party. I suggest that the best course is to withhold judgement until we get better information.

This whole situation is BS. He came willingly to speak with police then when he says he may have pushed her off of him thereby touching her neck he's arrested? I'm not saying it because he's a Michigan player but it sounds like he was trying to get the F out of there and she didn't want to let it happen because she's crazy.

The man fell asleep with the lights on so you wake him up to start a fight? What a friggin psycho.

There's a gender bias here. Turn the tables, and it's a man picking a fight, accosting a woman, and the woman pushes him away, putting her hand on his neck. No bruises, no injuries. Does she get cuffed and charged? Probably not. 

 

Of course, I'm biased because I'm a Michigan fan. But I just don't see JL as the type with this kind of problem.

I'm noticing a pattern here... GF says that she was attacked, but the Police find no evidence of injury. GF says Jourdan was punching a door, presumably hard and loud enough that she heard it from somewhere else before 'making sure he wasn't doing damage', yet the police find no damage to the house or the door (and of all people, it's Jourdan Lewis' "punch" that doesn't do damage, apparently). Then, she is asked how she got on the floor, and she says she doesn't remember...HOW THE HELL DO YOU NOT REMEMBER THAT. You remember insignificant things like thrown pillows and the actual duration of being 'dragged', but she can't remember how she HERSELF got on the floor at the point of attack? That classic 'I don't remember how I...' shtick is the tell tale sign of what they call SOME OL' BULLSHIT.

I still have no idea what happened here. Either Lewis was pretty violent without leaving a lot of damage, or his GF got rather physical in some rather unpredictable ways. I just hope the truth comes out, since this whole situation sucks.
