“It’s almost like they were doing it for fun, because it seemed weird that they didn’t rob me of my wallet or phone or keys,” he said.

Prob because they slipped out of their hands. Get it. Jurgens.  Thanks guys.

[RWS]

...not aware of any provision that lets the Magistrate revoke the bond on a previous charge on their own. 

Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of municipal court.  I didn't take into account the felony.

[JR4AU]

could certainly take it into account in setting the bond on new felony cases though

[AUownsU]

Wonder if Calloway is still on probation for the weed?

[Pell City Tiger]

Well there ya go, Jurgens caused the whole thing, gotta turn 'em loose.

Expect Saban to announce in late August, "I'm a forgive-and-forgettin' Christian, and I say if their rambunctiousness and misdemeanoring is behind them ... it is, ain't it boys ... then, by the power vested in me as head football coach by the university of alabama, I hereby declare y'all pardoned."

I can hear it now, "It's that thug culture at the barn, it's a conspiracy to discredit Satan and the uat football machine"

Scarbinsky: Four arrested Alabama football players should've been dismissed, not suspended

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - First things first. Blame the punks.

Blame Eddie Williams, Tyler Hayes and Dennis Pettway, the three Alabama football players who’ve been charged with assaulting and/or robbing two of their fellow students.

Williams admitted to both assaults and robberies. Hayes admitted he participated in one assault and robbery and watched the other. Like Hayes, Pettway is charged with participating in one assault and robbery and watching the other.

According to police records, this is what the three players did to the first of the two victims: “Physically attacked him” by punching him in the head and kicking him in the back and ribs.

This wasn’t boys being boys or fellas blowing off steam. These were criminal acts of violence, and violent criminals have no place on a college campus, let alone a college football team.

You strike someone in something other than self-defense, and you shouldn’t get a second strike.

Nick Saban can’t control whether Williams, Hayes and Pettway get to stay in school. There are university policies that must be followed in that regard.

But Saban does control who gets to play on his football team and who doesn’t, who earns the privilege of receiving a football scholarship and who forfeits that privilege.

Toward that end, Saban’s statement Tuesday afternoon could’ve and should’ve been stronger. His action, indefinitely suspending those three players and Brent Calloway, who admitted to using one of the victim’s stolen debit cards knowing it was stolen, could’ve and should’ve been tougher.

The three players who participated in the assaults should no longer be members of the Alabama football team. They should be gone with no chance to return.

You don’t knock someone unconscious while robbing them - another detail from the police reports of what happened to both victims - and stay on the team one day longer after that information surfaces.

Calloway may have forfeited his Alabama football future as well because this is his second arrest. His first arrest in 2011 was for misdemeanor marijuana possession.

As for Williams, as if knocking two people unconscious while robbing them wasn’t enough to lose your roster spot, he also was arrested Sunday for having a pistol without a license.

“This behavior is unacceptable for any student-athlete at the University of Alabama and is not representative of our football program,” Saban said in his statement.

True on both counts. So why not tell them to turn in their playbooks?

In contrast to Saban’s measured response, consider how quickly and decisively Gene Chizik acted when four of his Auburn football players were charged with armed robbery in March of 2011. Within eight hours, he kicked them off the team.

“While we realize the legal process will run its course and these young men have a right for their case to be heard, playing for Auburn University is an honor and a privilege,” Chizik said in a statement. “It is not a right.”

There was more to the statement, but that part cut to the chase.

This is no time to compare the arrest records of Alabama and Auburn players, but it seems fair to compare the reaction to two similar situations, especially in light of Chizik’s reputation for running an undisciplined program before he was fired and Saban’s rep as the ultimate and unquestioned authority in his program.

There’s no question that Alabama spends an extraordinary amount of time, money and effort to help its players develop as people, and there are more successes than failures. There’s also no doubt that those efforts don’t succeed in every case. See Rolando McClain.

Despite the perception of him as a dictator who strikes fear in everyone in his orbit, Saban is very much a players’ coach. He, his staff and his players have accomplished too many positive things to see them tarnished by the actions of these four players.

An indefinite suspension is more than a slap on the wrist, especially considering Saban’s track record with that form of punishment. His indefinite suspensions tend to become permanent.

But imagine the impact it would’ve made had he come out Tuesday and, in no uncertain terms, dismissed those four players from the team. As the coach of the program that’s won three of the last four national titles, Saban stands behind the biggest bully pulpit in the business.

This would’ve been a good time to use it to the fullest extent.

Why didn't he kick them off right then and there?  Because he had to get his bagmen in place to make sure no mommas or daddies decided to start talking...that's why.

[Saniflush]

What's that mean, Sani?

"Well' Buzz, it means that all their mommas and daddys are going to be the power behind the throne, so to speak."

The hell you say.

Does Scarbo have any stairs in his house?

Barn lover...west georgia waterboy!

See, this is why I have no problem with Scarbinski for the most part.  No, I don't always agree with what he has to say but when it comes down to it, it's usually because he was ripping my beloved AU for something. How dare he....  But, the guy normally calls it like he sees it on both sides.

Both sides hate him and love him.  Thats how you know he is impartial. I think he's the only true "journalist" left in the state.

True journalist, agreed BUT that's not saying much today. Nobody pays to read true journalism anymore. It's not controversial enough to interest most.

There was Shane's blog and newspaper articles which were fair and balanced.
