Edit: Please move to Tailgate

I guess the whole curfew thing for the winning team backfired.

Doubt he would have made the team. I'm pretty sure now that he is a goner.

Not really...Lawson was on the losing team...

Remember that Pure Football is not for "police blotter" articles .....

A helpful Ref will probably be along soon to move this to Tailgate where it belongs .....

Anyway ..... I cannot believe that these guys are this damn stupid.

Yeah, that's why I threw in the edit asking a ref to move it.

In any event, his only real shot of making the team was as a backup return man and DB depth. I think those needs have been greatly diminished, and this incident spells the end of his wholly uneventful (on the field, at least) time in the orange and brown.

nevermind, you;re right

Cut.

It's probably just me, but I don't see how these kids justify doing something that can jeopardize thier career.. a lucrative career at that,...... I just don't get it I guess.
