muck Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 What does this have to do with him going missing in January of 2012? That he has a history of making decisions that can put himself and others at risk of physical harm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNOWBOUND33 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Too bad for the distraction for the Packers. Hopefully the kid is ok and gets some help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 That he has a history of making decisions that can put himself and others at risk of physical harm? That's what I got. I can understand that this could be considered unfair to the kid, but I suppose one of the prices you pay for being arrested for sexual assault and battery is that those things get brought up in times like these.

That he has a history of making decisions that can put himself and others at risk of physical harm? He could be missing for any reason, however, once someone engages in making poor decisions, that remains in people's memories in the back of their minds. Would anyone be shocked to see him mixed up in wrong-doing again? That's the thing about one's history, the actual moment may be over and in the past but it lives on forever and will always make people think. That's just the way it is and can't be helped. I hope he's fine and that both he and the family get through this okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHook Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 That could be a big distraction. I remember when Dungy's son committed suicide in the week leading up to their game. They were the #1 seed as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavez Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 sucks. I believe multiple students have died in there. Accident or not? Sucks for the packers too. Nah, where the students kept drowning was in LaCrosse. I've been drunk PLENTY of times in Oshkosh (5 yrs undergrad + 1 yr after) and managed to not fall into the river.

historymike Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The thing that bugs me about the mention of the sexual assault case is the use of the phrase "young girls" in the AP story. To my thinking, "young girls" would be children in the 6-12 range. However, Philbin was 17 and had sex with two drunken 16-year-olds. Now, taking advantage of drunken minors is indeed a crime (not to mention flat-out horrible behavior) but the AP story almost makes it sound like he was a pedophile trolling local grade schools for victims. Again: not defending creepers who victimize passed out persons (or highly inebriated ones) but "young girls" is a highly charged choice of words, and this is either laziness or editorializing on the part of the AP staffer who wrote the story.

That's a big difference. Very misleading to put that in there, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of a headline I remember seeing in the SF Chronicle "Janikowski Found With Date Rape Drug". The story then goes on to explain that dude was just looking to get high and taking the drugs himself. Kind of messed up putting dude's name along with "Date Rape" when he was just partying.
