The more you know... Menacing is a crime governed by state laws, which vary by state, but typically involves displaying a weapon or a course of conduct that intentionally places another person in reasonable fear of physical injury or death. Seriously..the more i know. I had no idea either.

How can Chip Kelly run a program like that?!?! He took a big risk when he brought a guy like that in and it blew up in his face. All that matters to him is winning. [Insert other Freep related comments here] /sarcasm

the guys young and extremely promising. i've had a lot of respect for oregon ever since the shellacking they put on us. it makes me sad when their players do stupid shit like face punchs and the like. i hope he learns from this and is able to sort this out and have a great career at oregon and this isn't a sign of trouble to come.

The possible starting kicker was cited by Eugene police for assault . . . http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindducksbeat/2010/02/oregon_football_kick… . . . AND wide receiver Garret Embry left the team following an incident, still under investigation by police, that he and QB Jeremy Masoli stole laptops and other electronics from a fraternity house on campus. http://blog.oregonlive.com/pac10/2010/02/pac-10_football_garrett_embry… You know it's bad when your kicker is getting into trouble!

If you're convicted of battery, you're pretty much automatically kicked off a team, right? Seems like even Bobby Bowden would have a hard time covering this up. Maybe not Rick Neuheisel though - that dude could cover up the theft of the crown jewels.
