Your Mother Slept With Wilt Chamberlain

You know I like to have fun with this blog. I enjoy making fun of the world of sports, its teams and its players. However what Darrion Scott did isn’t a matter to be made fun of. In fact I find him to be lower than Michael Vick.

Former Vikings defensive lineman Darrion Scott was charged with assaulting his 2-year-old son last week by holding a plastic dry cleaning bag over the kicking and crying boy’s head in his Eden Prairie townhome.

Scott is charged with felony assault in the third degree, felony domestic assault by strangulation and misdemeanor endangerment of a child.

According to the criminal complaint: The boy’s mother heard the child’s muffled cries and found Scott, who is 6-3 and 290 pounds, holding the bag over the boy’s head on April 26. She said the boy was on his back on the floor, his legs kicking and that Scott was holding the bag tightly around the boy’s neck.

Lovely story. How else should a 290-lb man subdue a 25-lb kid? I’m sure the kid started it.

There’s really no facts needed to why you had a bag over the head of a 2 year old. Even is he thought this was “fun”, it’s still dangerous and sick. But maybe I’m different. Maybe because my parents didn’t put a bag over my head I don’t know what fun is anymore..

She told police she had evidence of previous injuries while the child was in Scott’s care. A doctor who examined the boy said there is a reasonable degree of medical certainty that marks on the boy’s arm and ear were intentionally inflicted and were consistent with either burning or being struck.

Scott, 26, told police the two were playing with the bag, and he wanted to see if the boy could get the bag off his head by himself. Scott was arrested last Wednesday and has been in custody at the Hennepin County jail.

A search of his townhome turned up a loaded .50-caliber handgun in an unlocked bedroom nightstand. The weapon would have been easily accessible to a 2-year-old, the complaint said.

Scott’s agent, Tim DiPiero, said the arrest “a mistake” and said Scott will seek a speedy trial to “prove his innocence.”

In the statement, DiPiero said Scott did not abuse the child involved in the case.

“Anyone who knows Darrion knows him to be a big ‘teddy bear’ type of guy, easygoing and never loud or abrasive,” DiPiero said. “We believe this nightmare is a terrible mistake and that the child has not been abused, at least not by Darrion.”

Scott was a third-round pick in the 2004 draft out of Ohio State & is from Charleston, W.Va., he was cited there for misdemeanor marijuana possession there in December following a traffic stop; Scott was on injured reserve at the time after breaking his foot in October.

If these allegations are proven to be found true I hope he rots in jail for a very long time. In my humble opinion children are this country’s greatest treasure and to harm one is to harm all.

There are so many that don’t deserve children in this world that have them and so many that do deserve them that don’t. A sad fact of life I suppose.
