NOT BREAKING NEWS: Rodney Scott Arrested

PrintRodney Scott and some guy named "Elmer" got tossed in the clink yesterday for scufflin' in front of the Turner Center. The cause of the scuffle? Elmer keyed Scott's car.
Scott apparently saw or learned of his car's vandalism, learned of who had done it, and wailed on the guy. This really is a non-issue. In an SEC offseason colored by an athletic director swervin through Atlanta with some floozie's panties in his lap and a barroom brawl in Knoxville which left a cop in critical condition, Rodney Scott losing his cool on the guy who defaced his whip is nothing.
And if you saw exactly what was done to Rodney Scott's car, you'd completely understand.
Slut?! I'm no slut!
Well, I can't necessarily say I disagree. But why post this message here, on my automobile?
Typography? TYPOGRAPHY?! If there were a more uninteresting, nonsensical study of design or language I would be interested in learning of it! One would be hard pressed to discover it, of that I am certain! ELMER! You know I am an ethnolinguist! TYPOGRAPHY IS BULLSHIT, SIR!
Really folks, I mean it - this isn't that big of a deal. A guy's car was vandalized and the guy caught and retaliated against the vandal. This isn't entirely out of the ordinary, especially on a college campus. Men between the ages of 18-24 tend to do really dumb shit. I am living proof of this eternal truth. As such, I shan't judge Rodney Scott for this.
Let's hope he learned his lesson and, in the future, doesn't get too hot-headed over trivial matters. And let's also hope that the guy he socked feels it for a few days because, c'mon, keying somebody's car is a pretty shitty thing to do.

Apparently for Rodney
It was not worth him doing it, just so he could catch him doing it.
One big part of this event was left out here...
Elmer flat out told him that he did it and laughed in his face about it. Scott probably wouldn’t have retaliated just because of his car getting keyed…..but I know I sure as hell would if they guy came and laughed in my face about him doing it.
Elmer...
had to know that keying a man’s car like that is a beatable offense. I agree with Thile. This has to be one of the most chickenshit things imaginable. There’s no honor in keying a man’s car.
One other thing
Elmer better have trouble: getting a drink in Oxford, registering for classes in Oxford, walking in Oxford, and getting a job once he leaves Oxford – he needs to be unemployable by any TSUN alumnus.
to anyone who played football back in the day and something stupid happend.......
what was the worse punishment? Gassers or running the stadium (granted HS stadium is not vh). I feel there will be gassers involved

I got the feeling...
… from Nutt’s release (huh, huh – Nutt’s release) that about 0 punishment will be involved. I didn’t fancy a glance at the Clarion Ledger’s comments section, but I assume just about every fan of every school agrees this guy not only needed his ass kicked but has several more ass kickings hopefully coming his way.
I’m also pretty sure no business owned by an Ole Miss alum will hire any 20 something year old dude named Elmer, either (although, I wouldn’t hire based on the name alone anyway).

Gassers are the worse punishment
I’ve run VH stadiums frequently, and I’d much prefer them to gassers.
Someone screwed with Corey Gaines' car too.
Saw it when I left yesterday from my apartment.
"HOT BOUDIN! COOOOOLD COUS COUS, COME ON TIGAHS, PUSH PUSH PUSH!"
I think we're all missing the point here...
I mean, there’s a dude named Elmer involved. Who the hell names their kid Elmer? Some damn glue tycoons or somethin?
Please read the comments on the CL website linked above...

Thanks, Mr. Belding.

I hate ignorant people like this
Hdavid1825:
thugs will be thugs where ever they go!
This demonstrates absolute stupidity. Either this person believes that only “thugs” get into fights, is a biased state fan, or being racist.
Could't he have waited until before the
LSU game and blamed it on some cajun and watched Rodney go off like Forest Whitekar in Fast Times at Ridgemont High!!
Yes, I know I am aging myself with a 28 year old movie reference but it seemed appropriate.
I've seen the film in question.
So no worries. It’s one of my favorites, actually.

If anything..
The guy had some creativity. I mean, I’d never thought to key “Gay sex is love” or “I love typography” on a car, ya’ know?
I’d also not key someone’s car. But that’s besides the point here.
Keep on keepin’ on, Rodney. Whoop that trick.
Those aren't
pictures from the actual keying in question. They’re just some that Ghost thought were funny.

Yeah, just saying..
I’d just had never thought of putting “I love typography” on a car.
Like, in any situation.
