Kelly has by no means "staked his claim" on James being "innocent." Rather, he has indicated that he's only heard James's side of the story, that he believes James, and that he wants the judicial process to play out before he acts. This very well could mean that James told Kelly he had to remove the girl from his property but denied some of the more serious allegations of strangling, etc. By most accounts this is consistent with the charge James will plead no contest to, one that only requires physical contact and that is used in these he-said-she-said situations. If that happens there is no credibility gap as you suggest. Stay tuned muckraker. Masoli, on the other hand, will be gone. He likely denied any involvement to Kelly and now will pay the consequences of lying, since some of the evidence coming out in the near future will indicate some level of involvement. Of course Masoli would have been gone anyway if and when he's convicted. Moreover, there is nothing inconsistent with Kelly's actions for other players. In those instances Kelly has all but stated that he was privy to information that allowed him to take punitive action before the legal matters were resolved. Alonso likely admitted drinking (he's underage) and driving the car, and probably also fessed up that his blood-alcohol level registered over the limit. Holland's infraction only required review of his facebook page. Etc. Etc. You are so wrong on so many counts on this it’s disturbing.

Sounds like you're for domestic violence. What possition do you play for ducks? I'm taking an educated guess by your brilliant language and stance on DV that you yourself have hit a few women and landed yourself in Jail a time or two. I think anyone that is on a sports program needs to up the standards and be a role model. Do I need to keep my kids out of sports so they don't get the wrong idea. Duck fans should ban the team until they get a new coach and AD. Beavers seem to be the team that Oregon should be proud of and support. They are a good example and are the best team in the pac 10. Even the cheerleaders on U of Zero are drunks. Women should never be hit, choked, or abused. Sounds like you’re for domestic violence. What possition do you play for ducks?

The D.A's always trump up the charges to make the man look like a mass muderer. Like a Ted Bundy or something. It's mostly all a crock of shit. Just a way to get more guys in trouble and in the system. A way to get guys into a bullshit D.V class. Or another way to take gun rights from people. Why don't they ever look at the woman? You know how the saying goes. It takes two to tango. Why don't they ever look at the woman to see how crazy she is?? huh? Domestic violence is common but mostly never as bad as the pigs say it is.

Because you don't believe Kelly? Of course, you don't have any evidence at all that he's not telling the truth. You've just decided you'll believe what you want - you don't need any evidence. Oh, yeah, that's right. You're evidence is that Kelly didn't announce it on January 8th when it happened. So what??? This all came to light because on January 24th there was a report that three players lockers' had been cleaned out - including Embry's. All three of them were off the team. He didn't announce the other two either. What sinister motive do you attribute that to? And the athletic department wouldn't confirm or deny that any of the three were off the team, not just Embry. It seems I read story after story that take bits and pieces of unrelated information and try to tie them together to "prove" some sort of conspiracy or coverup. It's BS.

It appears as though all DV charges will be dropped, including Assault 4 and Strangulation. What this means, essentially, is that the DA was about to go through with a really costly, highly publicized trial that he probably wasn't going to win. Instead of going through that mess, he approaches the defendant and says, "Hey why don't we all save ourselves the trouble and money.....you plead guilty to X, save face, and I don't have to look bad in the face of my voters by losing a DV case."

The reason that this is a big deal is because Oregon seemed like a pretty stable program before the beginning of last season. Then Blount explodes on TV and its all downhill from there (behavior wise of course, not football wise). As for Florida, by the time people started looking into UF's program it was too late for scrutiny to take place. Sure a couple of articles were written, but Meyer had the jump on them and brushed it off. Said the program was now under control, blah blah blah, suspended or kicked players off of the program. Damage control pretty much was taken care of. Thats my take on why its a bigger deal than UF. Jimmy, everyone always brings up Urban Meyer, but to be honest no one cares.
