Supposedly an eyewitness is on WFNZ at the moment saying he saw it first hand and saw nothing of the kid punching Hairston first. He saw Hairston hit him really hard and then Hairston ran off before the police showed up. The cops got all the camera footage and thinking there is no way PJ gets out of this. He said it was so violent people didn't even want to look at it and it shook up the people watching it.

Is it too late to re-do the draft?

If there really is a video, hopefully it's conclusive and this can be put to bed quickly. Hopefully it's mostly just a rumor, PJ gets his ass out of the Triangle and to Summer League...and then doesn't leave Charlotte. 

 

Hell, make Jordan assign Charles Oakley to PJ. Anytime Fats gets close, Oakley comes in and tells him to get out.

There is.

 

I have contacts in Triangle news.

 

The Y has CCTV footage of the incident.

Seriously though....why is this Fats dude bailing out Gordon? Doesn't he have guys that he can get to do that for him so that his name isn't connected to it? Or....does this guy WANT his name connected to it? The former is too obviously to miss so it must be the latter.

I'm not gonna lie though... if you watched PJ's post-draft interview with Matt Rochinski and the introductory presser, there was one thing that he said three or four times that really troubled me... he kept saying, "After all I have been through... no one else has been through what I have over the last year."

I was taken back by it... it came off as angry, immature, and entitled. That's an awfully ignorant thing to say. There are players out there who may have made a mistake and were not drafted at all. There are players out there who have most likely lost a loved one or something similar over the last year. Even just last year, Glen Rice Jr. was drafted following a similar situation as PJs, although much later...

He also said his time in the d-league made him mature, as in, "I matured a lot more in the last few months from a college kid to a man."

NO. That's not how it works.

I was just surprised because I felt like if that was what he said to GMs, and especially Cho, how did that make them comfortable with him?

If he truly attacked Barkley unprovoked, which I still think is unlikely, then combined with his post-draft statements, I think PJ has some serious anger and maturity issues - like he needs counseling. It's eerily like Smitty all over again.

I don't want it to be true. I'd rather not have the adult being  the one in the wrong here. It would make more sense for the kid to make such a judgement lapse. I don't want that but it sure  does seem that way. The truth will come out and that's all that matters.

      Highest rate of incompletions due to WR error

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      I never needed stats to tell me how a player is doing. I watch every snap and if they have more bad plays than good plays that is all I need to see. Young has more bad than he has good, by a wide margin.  He was going to need to overcome an overwhelming size disadvantage coming into the league. He had to lead a dysfunctional, talentless team and turn it around. He had no chance and somehow the FO overlooked all of that. The fact that the odds of it being remotely successful were 1000:1 is all the reason you need. Tepper made his fortune taking gambles like this but that is in finance, you don't do that in football.

      This Bryce Film is Rough...

      By Silent Majority · Posted

      Ty for posting this. People who have been paying attention can see Canales' fingerprints all over Bryce this season. Last season Bryce would be 15 yards deep at the top of his drop. This game he was a consistent 7-10 yards. The big takeaway for me is that DC seems to have simplified the game for Bryce. I noticed that BY9 only operated one half of the field. When the ball is on the outside hash (short side), his game is geared more to the boundary. Multiple patterns and deep outside shots. When the ball is placed on the inside hash (wide side), it's virtually all in-breaking or smoke routes and\or deep shots. Most of his over the middle passes are executed from a deep drop. I really do not think he can see the field. I think DC has tried to mitigate it as best he can, but there simply are physical limitations that cannot be ignored in this league. I do not think he can execute fully, DC's offense. I think DC is frustrated and damn near over the BY9 era.

      A lookback at Morgan's first draft

      If the other guy didn't try to have someone murdered, Xavier Legette would easily be the worst draft pick this franchise has ever spent on a WR.
