OT: Cooley Suspended from Georgetown

[Edward Sargent]

The article said Cooley knows the family.

I'll say this again, if the kid or his mom weren't hurt what exactly is the lawsuit? You have to show some kind of loss or pain and suffering. Assault? You have to show it was intentional. Highly doubt Cooley was trying to hit the kid with the bottle because he wanted to hurt him.

It's a bad look and Cooley deserves to be suspended and or fined. But sued? For what? For being a hot head?

You must not deal with lawyers these days. They will take it on contingency build a case against Cooley and Georgetown and get a settlement.

My kid backed into a parked car. Her foot wasn’t even on the gas. She was just coasting and tapped his bumper. He sued my carrier for 25,000 and got it for “bodily injury”.

Whoever got hit with that bottle and however it happened, a check is getting cut.

So, will you let me overhand a plastic water bottle at a child from your family?

An empty one? No problem. Toughens 'em up!

 

[GampelGladiator]

Problem is that Cooley decided to participate in an unauthorized 'feat of strength'...but it was three days too early...

Wonder if the mom will press charges. He attacked her kid. Guy is a loose cannon.

My guess is Mom is more concerned with how she can parlay this incident into a money making venture for herself.

In one of the reports, I heard that Cooley knew the mother and provided those seats.

Family of Iwuchukwu (center on the team).

 

[prankster]

OK....

Cooley apologizes profusely....and blahhh, and blah, and blaah...

Signs the bottle with the profuse apology. 2 year courtside seats. Bottle mounted on the signed chunk of expensive exotic wood. Authentification package, estimated value...$???? ? ....$????? ?

O.K. Mr. Morgan. 😀

A couple courtside seats to the next game and this will be put to bed.

Courtside seats to a Georgetown game??? Sounds like a bed of nails to me

 

[FfldCntyFan]

It's definitely like half full. You can tell by how it moves.

Interesting. I thought it was half empty.

 

[Palatine]

Providence would still take him back in a minute.

 

[Umami Zen]

What could the kid have possibly said to piss off Ed so much? jk

 

[JonnyRI]

Providence would still take him back in a minute.

I live in Rhode Island. There might be three PC fans in the whole state who would have taken him back, and that’s before the water bottle incident. TFG is beyond dead to them.

but can you dodge a bag full of of wrenches?
Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge

Don’t forget the often forgotten 6th D of dodgeball Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, Dodge, and Dasani

I remember playing at Crestbrook Gofl Course in Watertown, CT. I think it is the 6th hole now, but it used to be part of the back nine before they switched. It's a par 5 with a little creek in the middle and a cluster of woods to the right. My friend hit a ball down there and there people up on the green so I went into the cluster of trees to look for balls. I found 4 broken clubs, including one partly wrapped around a tree. I would loved to have known the story behind that.

Buddy who’s not a good golfer got frustrated after a bad tee shot and flung his driver.

Looking for his tee shot and couldn’t find it. guy in our group yells out….go to your driver and come back 20 yards. Classic line

For assault you only have to show the act was intentional, not the result

Reckless endangerment?
Kid cowers when he sees a water bottle.
Kid is now afraid to leave the house.
Mother has to hire staff to stay with the kid when she's not home.
BUT, since they were in the second row, they know somebody who knows somebody, so this will end with no trauma and the woman will get two tickets to every home game for the next two seasons.............

Why should the mother be punished? She didn’t do anything wrong!,

Makes little sense to punish the fan for Cooley's action.

Why?

 

[mauconnfan]

Sure, why not? My 2 sons can handle that. I throw plenty of stuff at them. Baseballs, footballs, tennis balls.... 😀

I mean the footballs that you throw at your sons, are they full? I mean you are a Patriots and Brady fan right? 😉

Someone will make money off of this because it will never get to court (no pun) and be settled (quietly) and made to go away. And coach and Georgetown (heaven forbid) have deep pockets and insurance. That's how the system works. PR rules here, not legal arguments.
