Cody Larson II....

Re: Cody Larson II....

I haven't seen anywhere where they were drinking.

I do question how they couldn't prosecute this case. Between the tape calls, eye witnesses and having 3 of them (you can always flip one) I have a hard time believing that the fact that they play basketball at Florida didn't have anything to do with it.

But my understanding of the law is from what I learned from watching Law & Order.

"They were at a bar, they had been drinking and they kind of did an impulsive act."

Read the article linked two posts above yours.

Re: Cody Larson II....

So I wonder why if Cody is only 19 years old, is he not being charged with minor consumption?

Per Orlando Sentinel:

...After reviewing the case, the state's attorney in St. Johns County reduced their charges to misdemeanor trespassing....

Re: Cody Larson II....

I wouldn't think of it Nidaros! It did sound pretty out of character for you, which is why it caught me off guard!

The weather, and our moods, will both improve soon! Be well my friend!

Re: Cody Larson II....

Laugh away if you wish. However, you should probably have your facts straight first.

This incident involving Cody has not been discussed on my show. It has not even been mentioned. The off court problems of a 19 year old kid, even if he is a high profile athlete, is not something I choose to cover.

Could that change? Maybe. However, I have had 19 year olds that made mistakes and would not want that played out in a public forum. I can't stop it, but that does not mean I have to contribute to it.

I think this rotten weather has gotten the best of your usual jovial nature, Nidaros.

Mike:
I retrack my comments. They were uncalled for. You too, can kick me in the grion. I will soon be walking with a cane or on crutches because of these comments.

Re: Cody Larson II....

Pretty mature post here.

Thanks I had that one coming. My intend was not to comment on this tragedy, but after the 10 page police report was posted to this board, I kind of let loose on the SF media who has received all kinds of mileage on Cody Larson ups and downs. Sports figures are news no matter what they do,


Its sad situation which I do not wish to say any more about. You young guys can kick me in the groin again if you like. I got it coming.

Re: Cody Larson II....

Yes was not Cody Larson one of the all time greats at Roosvelt High? He was so great that Stu had him -pegged for the NBA. S@it happens and I do not feel and remorse for your buddy Stu or Paul Seville or any of you SF hot shots.

In fact I am laughing at you guys as you spin away on Sports Talk and the other media outlets. Parenting or the lack of it appears to be an issue with Cody and whoever had custody can now be very proud of themselves or very regretfull for doing such a horrible job.

Pretty mature post here.

Re: Cody Larson II....

Why young people fail to see the consequences of their actions? Apparently you never made a mistake when you were young.

Oh yes I did make mistakes. This why the question is so puzzling as I approach my 70th birthday. Maturity and experience are not present in young minds and that is what frustrates me more than anything else. I got a feeling Cody in his own mind will relive this evening over and over and wish he could take it back, but he can not.

These hateful words should not be tolerated.

Re: Cody Larson II....

To SF Rabbit Fan: Thank you. And yes we did. We talked with their coach, Chris Johnson, about what they were going to do without these two players as they moved forward, because they still had 10 games left in their season. Also keep in mind, these were a pair of seniors, 21 and 22 years old, legal adults no matter how you slice it. It was also much more of a local story.

If we get Billy Donavan on the show again, as we did last fall, we will probably talk about Cody.

Re: Cody Larson II....

Unless things have changed, a 3.7 GPA seems awful high for a 23 ACT score.

I think it all depends on how well you take standardized tests... for example, I had a 2.9 GPA in high school but a 26 ACT. One of my friends had a 3.5 GPA and only an 18 on the ACT.

Re: Cody Larson II....

I have to agree and they will not be shown much lenency in court. It so sad. I suspect their are two or four once very proud grandparents about my age. How do they feel now? Very low I would suspect and my heart goes out to them. Why young people fail to see the consequences of their actions, is something we will never know. Experience in life is everything, and unfortunately, Cody is about to experience some bad experience. Stu and the Argus are really in a stew now. How do you spin this one?

What really seems so sad is that he had a high GPA in high school and a good score on ACT. Something is lacking here. Where is the family support system?

Why young people fail to see the consequences of their actions? Apparently you never made a mistake when you were young.

I'm also not sure what you've been paying attention to. Stu and the Argus haven't given Larson any slack over the past few days. In fact, he just went off on a big time rant on Craig & John about how he's gotten lots of people telling him to lay off and he's basically saying that this is news and it needs to be reported.

I find nothing wrong with anyone talking about this issue. It's complete public information. Does the kid need to be stoned and ripped apart? Probably not, but a lot of this is deserved.

Unfortunately a 3.7 GPA and a 23 ACT doesn't equal common sense.

Re: Cody Larson II....

I feel bad for Cody.........it appears he truly doesn't understand the gifts he has been given and how very close he is to throwing them all away.

One of the quandries of having great physical skills is that if they aren't matched with a certain level of humility and being humble, the owner of said skills will exploit them for all they are worth. All Cody appears to understand or feel at this point in his life is that he will continue to get multiple second chances. Here is a young man that didn't get a chance to finish his high school career because of legal problems yet still had his pick of colleges. After he bailed on his first college commitment he still had Billy Donovan, Bill Self and others come knocking on his door wanting his services.....no wonder the kid doesn't get it. Not to be mean spirited but I hope he gets a decent jail sentence out of this....something has to send the message home before it is too late.
