OT: Hurricane player shot, teammate returns fire

[scout]

A Miami Hurricane was shot in the buttocks after being confronted in his yard. The person fled after another Hurricane player pulled a gun from his pants and fired. Question, when The U scouts high school players, do they check their firing range scores?

Can someone tell me, please: why is it that when football players get shot (and it seems to happen a lot) it always seems to be in the *ss?

b/c the average football player's *ss takes up about 70% of his total body mass.

They all happen to be really big Three Stooges fans and figure that's the way it is done. The only place anyone ever gets shot in a Three Stooges film is the @ss.

Mmm, interesting suggestion ... though, somehow, I don't see Joey Porter as someone who strives for maximum comedy value.

Are you kidding? Have you seen any film of Porter doing his pre-game trash-talking to the other team? He's funny as hell. He just doesn't know it.

Maybe it's just a BB gun ... Get it?

With the U players it means the same as being shot in the head.

Don't forget his 'soccer kick'. That injury of his where he threw his hip out after beating a rookie lineman and sacking the QB during practice was comedic gold.

Apparently not; Merriweather missed.

To be fair, though:

"Police said Meriweather used his gun legally."

I can't believe this thread is here. We don't know what happened. Everything is all speculation at this point. This thread is in the wrong topic. These players will never be Patriots. How do you guys think these players children will feel having their families lives being dished on all over the Internet? The children....it's all about the children. [/ sarcasm]

CT....keep in mind...you are talking to a primarily MA crowd where legal gun ownership is a foriegn concept.

There has been a lot of talk about a return to the glory days for Miami after a humilating year last year.

Looks like they have taken the first step.
