Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Gillespie changes plea


In a story out this morning, ex-coach Gillespie changed his plea from "not guilty" to "guilty" to driving while under the influence.  He received a fine of (according the the article) $1,000.00 and a revocation of his driving privileges in Kentucky for thirty days.  I guess there was no extra consideration given for settling his civil case.  For the complete article go to www.sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=4615954

BCG didn't have much of a choice....

if he wanted this chapter to end. He messed up by driving under the influence, which should never be done. That is never smart.

wklawdog, I couldn’t get the link to work for some reason. Here is another link to WKYT, if anyone else has a problem. :-)

Tell me

What’s the civil suit got to do with it?

I have be correctly accused of having a 'football fetish'. You know, someone who doesn't think football is the warm up sport to basketball season.

Absolutely nothing,

but some posters opined after the civil settlement was reached that Gillispie’s DUI charge would go away or he would at least plead to some lesser charge, i.e., a conspiracy that the DUI charge was a method of getting him to settle or something.

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

that would be me.....lol

but I do have a question, wasnt there supposedly some jail time involved in the statute when it was being quoted to us originally??….I honestly cant remember.

However…..if it makes everyone feel better I will issue my mea culpa now….I was wrong….and if any of you tell my wife, someone will pay!!!!

Jail time is not mandatory on a first offense.

It is for every offense with a number greater than 1 though.

by wklawdog on Nov 2, 2009 1:52 PM EST up reply actions  

And for the record folks.....I STILL SAY GILLISPIE GOT OFF LUCKY.....lol

no jail time…..3 mil in his pocket…..and a stint in rehab……next thing you know he will be on VH1 doing reality TV……

I would LOVE to see Billy on Dancing With The Stars!!!! That would be awesome!

It is not worth an intelligent man’s time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that.

Strange ....

How about Rod Blagojevich on the upcoming “Apprentice” ?\

by ukcris on Nov 2, 2009 9:32 PM EST up reply actions  

Or better ...

… maybe Elliot Spitzer! He could propose a proper chain of bordellos. :-)

I have no idea what they put Blagojevich on there for unless it was comic relief

Blago Has Ego Slightly Larger Than Milky Way Galaxy

But slightly smaller tahn Rick Pitino. (j/k)

Blago CRAVES spotlight and attention.

I'm sure Trump knows what he's doing - and Blago's working his magic

I still like “The Donald” …. 1. He’s always surrounded by beautiful women …. and 2. He never misses a chance to show you his “New Yorker” side like when he blasted Rosie …. LOL

Give me some credit ABC!

I knew it was a joke. I would love to see it, but I knew it was a joke. :)

Well, I can't fully argue with you there.

$$$ in the pocket, and hopefully he gets the help he needs (then I will call him lucky).

I hope the guilty plea is part of an acceptance of his drinking problem

In the end, he didn’t try to plea down, that I know of. It’s a good sign he’s standing up and acknowledging, “Hi, I’m Bill, and I am an alcoholic”. For those of you lucky enough not to know, that is the traditional introduction at an AA meeting. I was a social worker for years. I hope this is his first step. I wish him well.

No matter where you're at, there you are
