Was he also talking about the Ray Rice incident? Things are still kinda slow right now in the sports world. He'll move on to something else in a week or two.

FYI punching women in the face apparently is not that uncommon. This one is for [MENTION=6]1bigfan13[/MENTION] BTW.
NORMAN — Oklahoma freshman running back Joe Mixon is being investigated by police for allegedly assaulting a female OU student at a restaurant near Campus Corner early Friday morning, his attorney Kevin Finlay said.

Norman police have confirmed an incident at Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe, but said no arrests were made and an investigation is underway. A police incident report did not identify the suspect in the assault.
The report did, though, identify the alleged victim as Amelia Rae Molitor, a 20-year-old OU student from Euless, Texas, who spoke to The Oklahoman on Friday evening via telephone.
Molitor said she had never seen Mixon before he punched her in the face, breaking four bones. She said Mixon was “harassing” her and some of her friends at Pickleman’s before the incident.
“He punched me one time,” she said. “He broke my face in four places … my nose, my sinuses … they’re broken.”
Molitor, who spoke confidently over the protests of her mother, said she plans to take legal action against Mixon, and added that she fears the wrath of OU fans.
“That’s my big fear (the fans),” Molitor said. “I’ve been told to stay off of social media to avoid (OU fans) coming after me on there.”
Molitor said she plans to sue Mixon, in some capacity, and that she hopes the running back “goes to prison for years.”
“That’s what he deserves,” she said. “I don’t care if he’s the star running back or not.”
Mixon was among the most highly recruited prospects in the country, and his early January committment to OU was met with immense joy and excitement.
The five-star prospect from Freedom High School in Oakley, Calif., attended the Sooners’ spring game in April, and stood behind OU’s bench for much of the afternoon signing countless autographs for fans.
OU coaches have so far praised Mixon’s work ethic and attitude throughout summer workouts. Mixon — from Oakley, Calif. — arrived in Norman at the beginning of the summer.
Molitor had returned to her family home by Friday evening.
The alleged assault occurred as Mixon — who turned 18 on Thursday — was wrapping up his birthday celebrations.
Finlay, a Norman attorney, said Mixon contacted him about the incident shortly after it occurred. The attorney confirmed that Norman police had been in contact with Mixon but that his client had “not been arrested at this point.”
“We are cooperating, fully, with the police on this,” Finlay told The Oklahoman. “Joe is definitely looking forward to the truth coming out … that’s about all I can say at this time.”
When asked if Joe Mixon was his client, the attorney responded in the affirmative.
“Joe contacted me about this, that’s true,” Finlay said.
The police’s incident report reveals that an unnamed male subject assaulted a woman inside the restaurant. The report states that Molitor suffered “apparent broken bones” following the incident.
“A female was hit in the face by a male subject — (the subject) is gone — she is in the bathroom … she is (conscious) and she is intoxicated … She is bleeding from the mouth … no difficulty breathing,” the report states.
An OU athletics spokesman said the department is aware of the situation and is conducting its own internal investigation.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU defensive end Devonte Fields has surrendered to authorities on a misdemeanor assault warrant.
That's after TCU suspended the defensive standout earlier this week amid allegations he punched an ex-girlfriend in the head and threatened her with a gun while shouting, "I should blast you!"
Fields surrendered to Tarrant County authorities Thursday afternoon and was released a short time later after posting bond of $3,500.
The Big 12 preseason defensive player of the year hasn't been formally charged but has been accused of a Class A misdemeanor assault, which would be punishable by up to one year in jail and a $4,000 fine.
Officers say the 20-year-old woman's right cheek was swollen and she had a cut under an eye when they arrived at a Fort Worth home early Sunday.

Nic Shimonek is transferring to Tech this fall. What do you know about him? Tech is desperate for depth at the QB position. Are we basically getting a backup guy for the future? What is the Iowa QB situation?

What's the total story on the Bethel incident?
I thought I read it happened during a pickup basketball game. if it did I would have to give him some leeway because some of those female basketball players are hardcore and they try to prove a point, not saying it was right, but there might be some extenuating circumstances.
I am definitely anti hitting women but I have seen instances were they can definitely provoke and I don't think it should always be the end of the world.

Said basketball player has a reputation of knocking down men at the rec. Pushing, threatening and generally trying to run. He was coming down the court guarding her and she makes a basket. He turns to walk away and she punches him on the side of the face as he walks away. He turns around and jabs her in the jaw.
It was a bad situation for everyone involved. Both were in the wrong. I'd say it was more so mutual than an outright attack on an innocent woman. Still, he was very wrong for what he did.

Yeah he needed to handle that better but it went the way I thought it probably did.
But his football career should in no way be jeopardized by this what's his status?

She is a senior basketball player. The punishment was that they both are suspended for 25% of the season. The video is easy to find of the indecent.

He's another dude who will likely squander his opportunity to make it to the NFL. I believe this is his 2nd or 3rd suspension.
Also I read about Mixon the other day.

The female basketball player that had the fight with Bethel would beat the fuck out of either of these guys. I'd put money on it.

That's it?
It was totally reactionary and he walked away 3 games is harsh but it will be a lesson learned.

He has to be punished. Not doing anything would be a terrible idea.

Yeah he has to be punished but IMO 1 game would have bee enough under these circumstances.
But I also recognize the optics and the 3 games look a lot better.
