Marcus Dixon Video from ESPN

[Cajuncowboy]

We just signed this kid to a 3 year deal and from what I heard today, he just may be the real deal.

Real good story about redemption.

 

[Big D]

I remember reading that story in the news a few years back. I hope he does well for our boys.

 

[CATCH17]

Thats sad.

I hate how the cop calls him a pedafile.

If 15 year olds hooking up with 18 year olds is being a pedafile then America is littered with them.

America is littered with pedafile's, haven't you seen dateline before? But I do agree that an 18 year old hooking up with a 15 year old doesn't mean you're a pedafile.

 

[Big D]

Yeah I was thinking that myself. Highschools across the country are full of pedophiles. Wow.

 

[TheCount]

Alright, enough about all this stuff. Can he ball? That's what I want to know, I could care less about his past. He seems to be trying to move on, so let him. What can he do on a football field?

 

[Redball Express]

..another chapter in salvaging a fallen career.

Thanks for posting..interesting.

Send us your arrested, your accused, your suspended..

If there is anyplace that this guy will find the right support..it's here in Dallas.

Man, you just can't get the wildcat driller out of Jerry Jones.

He definately goes where others fear to tread.

I hope it works for all.

To be fair, although the sentence was absurd and teh conviction questionable...

*** was he doing having sex in a classroom?

 

[Hailmary]

The Piggly Wiggly's real? I thought it was just a fictitious chain of supermarkets created by Hollywood.

 

[Bizwah]

My whole problem with him is this.....

Someone posted a story that gave the girl's side of the story. IIRC, she did not recant her story. She DID spend time in the hospital. She apparently had bruises on her face (is that from consentual sex?).

Now, Dixon is saying all the right things....and, if the sex was consentual, then I really don't think that's rape.....even statutory rape. An 18 year old kid in HS has about the same maturity level as a 15 year old girl.

But there were other issues as well with Dixon. He apparently tried to fondle a girl as well.

I truly hope we're right on this one.

lol good point. America is littered with them.

I shouldve said 18 year old pedafiles.

It was the first grocery store.

I'd love to know who is the Cowboys' head of prison scouting.... It seems he has the same input with Jerry as all other areas of talent acquisition.

You never banged it out at school back in the day? Maybe it is just something us football players did...

If her father was as dangerous and incensed as alleged, it could have been him who administered her bruises.

That is exactly what I was going to post!

On the other hand, I hope this guy IS telling the truth for the sake of the Cowboys. We don't need another Lance Rentzel nor Raphael Septien on this team, ever!

Unfortunately, old prejudices die hard, especially in the Deep South, and Dixon should have known white girls were a no-no and walked away; especially after she told him "if my father finds out about this he'll kill us both". Shows very poor judgment on his part, IMHO...

P.S. My neighbor's daughter works for Texas Workforce (unemployment dept) and last year she managed a program for HS kids to get summer jobs. At one particular company the employees were gathering in a conference room for a 1:00 meeting and when they opened the door, two of her kids were on the conference table having sex (unprotected I might add). This seems to be most of what kids learn in HS these days, which is why I'm not for spending more $$$ on schools...

[Clove]

When I was 18, I probably had a dozen or so 15 year olds coming after me like I was a rock star. I'm glad I didn't bite.

Anyways, this type of activity in the judicial system is the exact reason why it's hard to trust the government, they are the big bully and can basically do what they want.

Now for the kid, I hope he can kick some butt here.

You are so cool man, I want to be just like you when I grow up. And by that, I mean I want to grow up to be a liar.
