    Wally Hall says he suspects Petrino gets a 3-month suspension w/o pay.

    In other words, a slap on the wrist, SEC style.

    A 3 month suspension not infringing on the season, I'm assuming?

    Wally Hall is a moron and real news is trickling out from Fayetteville

    Arkansas State Police says Capt. Lance King did not violate any police policy or state laws in Petrino situation.

    Good details here, the complete report from the state police captain...

    Edit to add: One minute after I posted it, after watching people stand around for five minutes, it went dark. From what I saw, it did not look like a Million Hundred Man March.

    I love how all the officials refer to him as "Coach Petrino" in every instance.

    Who is Coach Petrinoys?

    "the phone call received by State Police Captain Lance King from an unknown female speaking from Coach Petrinoуs phone and the chain of events involving any assistance Captain King may have rendered the day of the crash and in the days that followed."

    Captain King's report brings more questions than answers:

    I then contacted my supervisor, ASP Highway Patrol Major Les Braunns, and informed him of this situation. He told me to keep him apprised and thoroughly investigate the accident. Major Braunns told me to make sure to conduct a thorough investigation and include all information concerning details of the accident. I told Major Braunns I would.

    I was then called again by the female caller who asked me where I was and I told her that I saw their car in a parking lot and I was seconds away.

    I pulled up on the parking lot approximately ten feet away from the white Cherokee and observed a white female helping Coach Petrino out of the passenger side rear of the car.

    IF CAPTAIN KING WAS SUPPOSE TO DO A "THOROUGH" INVESTIGATION WHY WOULDN'T HE ASKED THE WHITE FEMALE CALLER HER NAME?

    "I assisted Coach Petrino into the front seat of my car and put a seat belt on him."

    IF PETRINO WAS SO BADLY INJURED HOW COME CAPTAIN KING DID NOT CALL AN AMBULANCE. HE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD IDEA IF PETRINO HAD INTERNAL INJURIES OR BROKEN NECK THAT WOULD HAVE REQUIRED IMMOBILIZATION

    On 04/02/12, at approximately noon, I received a phone call from a man who identified himself as Benjamin Williams. Mr. Williams said that he was from Ozark, AR and he was one of the people who brought Coach Petrino to the hospital.
    WHAT HOSPITAL?

    "He said that he had his wife drop him off en-route
    to Fayetteville at a store or restaurant because he couldn’t stand looking at Coach Petrino’s injuries. He also provided me the name of his girlfriend, Jody Diane Stewart,"

    WILLIAMS WAS IN A CAR WITH HIS WIFE AND GIRLFRIEND? HUH?

    "who was driving, and told me that that he hoped Coach Petrino and his lady friend were okay. I told him that someone would be contacting him and also said that the Petrino family wanted to know his name so they could do something nice for them. I said that maybe they will send him some razorback stuff and he said good, because he had a house full of kids. I did not ask him anything about the “lady friend” knowing that an ASP trooper or investigator would be interviewing him soon. He also said that they did not know or recognize Coach Petrino due to his injuries. He said they were just trying to help a person out."

    Sadly, the heroic coach would've been mugged by one of his players who passed by and stopped to help.
     
  11. This is BS ..

    And with regard to marriage and marriage counseling this is one thing I think the church does well or better than many. If more people did this kind of thing -it's called an engaged encounter - it would help a lot.


    Again, the Catholic Church is light years ahead of many other denominations in terms of the marital treatment of women. Check out some Baptists, such as the Church of Christ (Mack Lyon's outfit) or any church that subscribes to the beliefs of Bob Jones University.

    I bet he said it in nothing but one-sentence paragraphs.

    That also could be Wally just hoping that's the case.
