Maybe you're right man. Maybe I should let it go. But don't let that confuse the point; my intent there was to frame an irrelevant quote from Sparty out of a newspaper "I really couldn't give a flying f***" about.
Let Sparty obsess about us; let's not return the favor.
There hasn't been activity on this thread (or about this topic) since November of last year so I don't know if anyone will actually read this... (since I don't post on MGoBlog at all, I can't open a board post quite yet so I hope this is newsworthy to somebody. The MGoCommunity is pretty quick at updating the latest info so I usually take a back seat with posting.)
I was in a conference in Orlando, FL this last week and scheduled a towncar to pick me up at my hotel to take me to the airport this last Thursday (2/24) in the morning. I got to talking with the driver and he had mentioned that his sons used to go to Dr. Phillips. (My ears naturally perked up.) He then went on to tell me that he had to remove his sons from the school because of the hazing that was done to his youngest son, Darrion Denson. I quickly looked him up on my phone and found a few articles about it and uncovered my driver was Rev. Porter Denson.
We discussed the incident at length recapped here; he told me that a coach brought his son into the locker room and then players started chanting. They choked and beat Darrion only to later stuffed him into a trash can. He was knocked unconscious at some point in time.
Porter said that there were about 20 members of the team that were participating in this. He specifically mentioned Chris Gallon's name (though not sure to what extent he was involved) but he also said specifically that Hasean Clinton-Dix was the one that stuffed him in the the trash can. He told me that his son is still at home, receiving home care and that they also have teachers coming to the house to help continue his education. He also said that his football career is most likely over.
As you can imagine, Porter was still pretty emotional and upset about the incident. Not just because of the specific hazing though but because they don't think the case has been handled appropriately. The players got misdemeanors and can carry on with their lives while their son is still attempting to rehab at home. Here is the latest from the Orlando Sentinel for those that are interested.
Anyway, here's my contribution to this thread... only a few months late...!
