I'm glad you have a courtroom artist because this thread is worthless without pictures.

The defense may indeed choose to self-represent, though I will warn you that you may no longer claim incompetent counsel if you do so.

:hmmm:

Me claim incompetence? How long have you known me again.......

Does the jury have any questions?

Mr. Hoge is on the stand, with Mecca cross-examining. Carry on.

I have several questions for Mr. Hodge.....

Were to busy watchin' Barely Legal #19 and eatin' $40 pizza...proceed.

Firstly I'd just like to say.......what qualifies you, Merrill Hodge as an expert on concussions? Suffering from them in your playing days doesn't make you an expert. I've had a knee surgery that doesn't mean I know as much as an orthopedic surgeon so do you really think you are an "expert" on this as say a neurosurgeon would be?

Yes it does. I even won millions of dollars from a Chicago Bears' team doctor in a lawsuit.

IIRC, a condition of my job was shooting you. So since you're dead, STFU

:evil:

Excuse me but may I ask the judge a question that might help the jury clarify some issues?

We have a clarifying question from the jury. Please proceed.

WTF is going on here?

That means you had a good lawyer not that you know as much about the situation as a person trained in the field.

So not only are you basically an untrained amatuer in this field just voicing his opinion.......You've fully admitted already to having a hazy memory. It's also true at the halftime of a game you once said you thought you were in Tampa because you could hear the ocean while you were in Chicago in reality.....

Why should anyone here even believe you are a competent expert, you admit to being hazy. You admit to suffering concussions and there is evidence, even your retirement, that points to your brain being scrambled on numerous occasions.

Why should anyone here even believe that you are nothing more than a babbling boob that doesn't know much......

As you know, I get paid millions of dollars by ESPN. I know what I'm talking about. Do you have any idea how many arguments I've won against Ron Jaworski? That guy never suffered a single concussion.

For the sake of providing the defendant with a speedy trial, we are apparently combining steps 1 through 5 of the judicial process. Now, pay attention and take notes.

The witness shall answer the questions.

And also, STFU

Oh. The witness is already answering the questions. Continue.

scribbling...

...

Another obvious lie......Ron Jaworski fully admits to suffering over 20 concussions in his playing days.

But seeing as you are here I shall ask you a few questions pertaining to what happened.......

You are paid by ESPN to be an anaylst correct? To basically just give your opinion about things, but you are one of the bottom rung guys seeing as you never make it to sportscenter or sunday countdown......you get stuck on matchup and ESPNEWS is this correct?

I don't think my ears are that big, but otherwise it's pretty good.

OBJECTION!!! My witness is NOT ON TRIAL! Accusing him of perjury is most upsetting!

Ron Jaworki's own personal statements and medical records prove it to be a lie......maybe he should watch what he says before saying it.

Correct.

That's also correct, but it's by choice. Michael Irvin's brain has been eaten by cocaine.

OBJECTION! This is hearsay! Ron Jaworski is not here today!

STFU

Uh huh be it as it may you are on the lower rungs of the totem pole up in Bristol. So let us take a look ESPN doesn't feel the need to make you a top guy....for whatever reason it may be. And you've already made the statement that you felt the play was a cheapshot.

The question is, did the play/offending player deserved to be fined....a simple yes or no will suffice.

The court requests that the defense and/or prosecution provide a link regarding Mr. Jaworski's medical concussion history.

Yes.

Just to clarify, is the defense speaking of the Green/Geathers incident, or an event pertaining to Mr. Jaworski or Mr. Hoge?

Speaking of Green/Geathers.....


So you feel that Geathers deserved to be fined.....Did not the NFL governing body rule that it was a legal play and not impose a fine?

Hoge has been a strong witness for the prosecution, I've made up my mind.

The answer, Mr. Hoge?

I must be in the wrong court room... I was looking for the OJ trial...

Sure, but they've been wrong before.

The question must be answered by Mr. Hoge, not by the prosecution team.

Three courtrooms down, and 12 years back.

Sorry -- I just woke up from a concussion !! :p

Any more questions? Mel Kiper and I are going to run a train on that Rachel Nichols chick.

Get out. And STFU


I'm really starting to enjoy this. :)

So let me get this right.........you a 4th/5th team anaylst for ESPN, being that low must show something about what your employer thinks of you considering some of the other people employed there......thinks he knows more than the people in charge of running the NFL? The people in charge of the biggest most popular sport in North America.......Mr. Hodge do you realize how completely out of touch that is? Not to mention your background which we have discussed of being hazy and having your own concussion and brain trauma issues.

I think it could be said that you Merrill Hodge, have a bias in this situation. Being that you have suffered from concussions you feel for the recipient because you were there. You don't look at it objectivly as say the NFL office would.......people who are paid to evaluate these things with no emotions just on the pure facts of the matter.

In other news: Carrie Underwood has made three straight #1 singles.

OK. We done here? That firecrotch is waitin.'

Took you long enough to say that... ROFL

Sorry. The bailiff was playing minesweeper. :D

You are obviously a high character witness.........in closing I'd just like to point out that after all of the chips from this witness were layed out that you sir have been exposed as a fraud.....you are no doctor or expert you are just another person with a personal opinion

The only thing you are an expert on is a "factor back" and even people who watch your shows still don't know what that is.

No further questions.

Check out the nice blonde in the front row... She's not wearing panties !!! :drool: :drool: :drool:

The defendant myself needs to shower in the real world.......so I shall take a recess.

That's redrum's mom.

:Lin: :Lin:

If the court will allow it, I have another witness.

Mr. Hoge may step down unless another member of the defense or prosecution needs you later. Thank you for your service, and the court will declare a short recess. Dibs on the jungle gym.

You may call your witness.

...

Yeah, uh... I'm just gonna do some work... glad to see the defense team is working hard...

Legal research cannot be underestimated as a tool for attorneys.

...

The prosecution calls Antrell Rolle to the stand.

Bailiff, please remove Mr. Hamms from the courtroom and shoot him once in the back of the head. The chick in the picture can stay.

Mr. Antrel Rolle is called to the stand.

Whoa. I just had a subliminal picture beamed into my noggin. The girl looked bored, though.

Cleanup on isle 5 in the Q&A with LJ thread.

How's GoChiefs doing? Is my plan working?

It's a re-occuring subliminal picture.

I swea' to tell'a tha whole ta-ruth and nuttin' but it. HOLLA!

Does she look bored in each one?

No problem, boss. He's been whacked. :bang:

Mr. Rolle, what is your profession?

Straight balla fo' da Arizona Cardinals.

Where did you attend university?

At DA U.

The University of Miami? Isn't that football program known to have a bit of a thuggish reputation?

We rip ya mother****in' head off. FO SHO!!! What's it TO YA, CUZ?

The defense presents Exhibit C, a photograph of Mr. Rolle delivering a vicious facemask to Chiefs running back Larry Johnson.

http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/1...snews03hv9.jpg

Mr. Rolle, given your football background, and the nature of this photo, would you agree this tackle was somewhat dirty?

This is a very poor representatin of Mr. Rolle.....he does not speak that way. If you've ever heard him speak he's well spoken.

Shit son, I almost ripped his motha****in' head off. STRAIGHT UP! HOLLA!!!

Unbiased observer handing a note to Mecca.

"I think this witness might be an imposter since the name is spelled "Antrel".

No further questions your honor.

Your witness, defense team.
