Riiiiiiiiiight.

Clearly LJ was a special case.

I'm guess the Hunts never knew anything about Belcher's issues.

Because Pioli didn't want them to know.

Damn... what will you and Dane make up next? ROFL

I doubt the Hunt family knew about Johnson's issues until it got out of hand.

Why don't you prove that they were aware?

And what, exactly, did I fabricate, you ****ing worthless troll?

The Star got their info from multiple police sources doesn't get more clearer than that.

I see nothing to substantiate your claim that there was disinformation on the behalf of Pioli.

Your statements on this thread are unfounded, false, and misleading.

Again, unfounded.

Thank you.

So, newspapers lie and fabricate stories?

In what country do you reside?

Prove otherwise.

What have I "made up" in this thread, Russ?

If you had some inside knowledge or even firsthand knowledge of this situation I may take your opinion for something. But the bottom line is that you're just some dude interpreting a situation on an internet message board like the rest of us.

Deductive reasoning would perhaps be valid if you were an investigator working the case and had all the facts, but you are not and don't.

Yeah, apart from the fact that the franchise has never tolerated shitty people (LJ not withstanding) before now.

Even Kent Babb said "Pioli is a different guy when Clark Hunt is around."

If you don't think that extended to misinformation about player behavior, you're being naive.

Pioli is a self-serving charlatan and everyone knows it.

Seriously? Yeah and everything we read on the internet is true too. Good grief.

Larry Johnson was charged PUBLICALLY in 2003 for domestic violence and holding a gun to a woman's face - FELONY aggravated assault. He pleaded down and agreed to a domestic violence program. He was charged again in 2005 and again in 2008. He played here until 2009.

Do you truly believe the Hunt's had no access to the national news regarding their own players for 6 years? Or do you expect others to believe it?
