AUwent 3,776 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Per Al.com Duke and JJ were roommates...wasn't aware if true. May be some of the issues with JJ as well? Sure would explain a lot. I've wondered that. Well, maybe we've cracked the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptau 169 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Here is a pretty good article explaining the events at the bar. Evidently Tony Stevens and Shon Coleman were both there and both tried to calm down Duke. The article does not mention XD so evidently his jaw did not get broke at the bar. I'd say that paints a very descriptive picture there and answers a lot of questions. It sure does. The depiction given in that article doesn't even remotely resemble the way the I had it made out to be in my mind (I wasn't there so I don't know why I would pretend to know what happened, LOL). The first news item was a basic sports hack story from al.com....no research....saw that Duke hit 4 people in a bar dispute.....and off he went with his story....."4 people plus Duke...must have almost been a riot...but rampage sounds better and is sure the attract the bammers who look for anything Auburn related"...."none of them care about the details or even about accuracy...just important that I'm the first one with the story to get hits on my article" Not to minimize the event....but when did any of the al.com hacks worry about getting the details right? An inaccurate story written about an auburn player by a UAT leaning newspaper, makes perfect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how and where did the jaw get broken? The theory of some is that it got broke at practice in a separate incident involving Duke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexava 6,973 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 That article really didn't sound like anything too bad happened... yes the bar incident was not too bad, but add to that he dwcked a teammate at practice the next day and you have a madman. If this was any other player or even if duke don't hit x we would not have heard about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fight on Sunday or Monday resulted in Dampier's jaw being broke and Williams is kicked off the team Monday night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was put under strict rules that he was not to be getting in trouble. He did, so he's gone. I think the meaning was that there were no weapons or drugs or crablegs involved - no actual crimes to report in the original story.

I didn't read the recent article, but I did read here or elsewhere that one of the people he hit said they wouldn't press charges as long as the football team punished him. So he likely could have been charged with assault by at least one person, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he likely could have been charged with assault by at least one person, IIRC. Yeah, well, OK. Read the most recent article - an interview with the manager of the club. The interview with the club owner(?) made it seem that no one on the staff was injured and that they didn't think it was a big deal. I doubt they would have pressed charges if nobody was injured and there was no property damage. Fistfights are not uncommon and this is not a major AU blackeye, just another distraction for a team that sucks right now and doesn't need any distractions.
