Curry should have found the guy that supposedly threw that brick, because he must have had one Hell of an arm to hit his office window.


Curry actually praised the guys accuracy, not his arm strength.

Curry joked, “My first thought was, if the quarterback had been as accurate as the guy who threw the brick, we wouldn’t be discussing this.”

Premature until he's had his day in court.

I don't like it.

All evidence seems to indicate Hernandez is a murdering thug. If he's convicted, he deserves to be executed.

Having said that, this isn't a Paterno/Penn State situation where the crime and the career are undeniably linked.

He wasn't murdering people (at least that we know about) when he was making all-American at UF. If we're going to start retroactively denying the accomplishments of people because they went astray later in life, we're going to be spending a whole lot of money on k-12 blades and patchcrete.

I believe that his brick was right by the steps to the entrance of the trophy room. This probably has more to do with our recent image problem and they figure it is not in the best interest of the university to have his brick front and center.

I think it's awesome we're moving to a society that determines guilt or innocence based on how the media tell the story - To Hell with the court system.

Leave Britney errr Aaron alone!

I don't think you understand how difficult it would have been for anyone to hit the window.

You don't win these situations. A contingent of the rant that happened to see the "brick" on campus would be all up in arms screaming "tPOS". The other contingent would be glad to see that it's gone.

He hasnt been tried yet I dont likely this trend !
In colleges it allows coaches to
free up scholarships ! however it allows injustice to run Run wild, something my Christian self abhors, but the tiger part of this one will not leave this alone! I am drown like a moth to the flame I can't leave it alone!
