This isn’t how it usually works in pro sports

From the AP:
Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Cedrick Wilson has obtained a protection-from-abuse order against his girlfriend, who is charged with firing two shots in the player’s home, a team spokesman said.
Lindsey Paulat, 26, is charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment in the incident Saturday. She remained in custody Wednesday, and her family has said they will not comment on the case.
Paulat fired two shots from Wilson’s gun after Wilson left their home in the suburb of Pine Township on Saturday, police said. Paulat refused to surrender for about 12 hours, prompting police to evacuate some neighbors, police said.
That has to be close to a relationship deal-breaker, doesn’t it?

Nah, no deal breaker. Just shoot up to make up..
She remained in custody Wednesday, and her family has said they will not comment on the case, because actions speak louder than words.
Fixed.
Seriously, it’s not like her family is going to stop loving her or anything, but is it bad form to come out and say, “Yeah, we always knew Linds to be a little crazy, and that something like this could happen. It was never really a matter of if so much as when.”
I don’t think he’s got anything on Chuck Finley, though.
I always love the assumed legalese in these charges like…how is assault different from aggravated assault. Did Cedric “aggravate her to shoot the place up” as opposed to her having no aggravation whatsoever except being a little bored and needing something to spice up her day ..and is reckless endangerment different from plain old endangerment or realistically isn’t all endangerment reckless…
I don’t know since I’m not a lawyer, probably since I wouldn’t want to deal with such nuances all day, probably because I wouldn’t want to check my syntax and spelling all day as well…

I believe it was Kris Kristofferson who once said, “Never sleep with someone crazier than you are.” That is very sound advice.
Speaking from personal experience, Wilson should count his blessings and move on…at least he didn’t have to join someone’s church! Look what happened to Andre Rison back in the day. Andre had his whole house burnt down my one of the TLC chicks. Wilson got off with a couple of bullet holes.
Who got off easiest
1. Joker
2. Cedrick Wilson
3. Andre Rison
That was supposed to be in descending order, not a multiple choice question.
But Stu. You know that the crazy ones (at least the ones that aren’t packing anything they weren’t born with) are the fun ones !!

As long as you can move and change your name afterward…
For example: My name used to be “John ND”
My name used to be Dave
Dave D. as in Dave Delightful. I ran porn websites all over the Midwest until one of those obnoxious catch a crook TV programs got me. Now I teach elementary school. The background search was easy…
Dave…you’re high…I’m pretty sure that Andre’s insurance covered his personal belongings losses…I have the haunting of that cult gathering stuck in my head forever.
On a side note, do you think that Heath Ledger’s lawyers are going to get me for copy right infringment for the name Joker after the new Batman comes out?
Maybe, but would you accept “Robin” instead ?

Haven’t Jack Nicholson’s already?
Jack…you’re my number one….guy.
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.
Teen Wolf reference!
Coach Finstock is my idol.
danonymous: didn’t they use a variation of that speech for a commercial recently?
I’m thinking it was for Taco Bell. If it wasn’t, then Taco Bell did a good job of brainwashing me to think all commercials are theirs.
If they did then shame on them. The Howard family only eat lamb kabobs. Lamb kabobs and chickens from Mick’s henhouse.
Damn… the crazy GF is screaming at me again about this and that and being stuck with the kid… she’s nuts, man, screw this… I’m just gonna just step out for a bit until she calms down.
Man, she’s really on a tear this time, better get out quick… but first I’m gonna make sure my gun is loaded and sitting out on the coffee table where she can easily find it… just in case she needs it for something…
Ramon, here’s the way we (many of us foolish males) blind side ourselves. Case in point..your screaming fem going off on you (correct that. bad phrasing)…problem is those women (or as they start out in life, girls) that tend to be most evocative of passion even violent are also the best in the sleeping quarters..true for me anyway..
Speaking of girlfriends, apparently Jaric’s is in town.
The Timberwolves won last night. That seems odd.
