Noah stopped by cops again!

[From the fanshots. The lesson, as always: stay out of Gainesville. -ed.]

Tough weekend in Gainesville for Joakim. This sounds like stuff that could happen to anyone, but you'd think he'd be more careful after his arrest earlier in the weekend.

wow

ummm…either he should just stay inside the house or come back to Chicago.

I will laugh it off, but seriously are you an idiot Noah? You aren’t a superstar that is going to be protected by Billy Donovan and athletic boosters anymore, you’re just another NBA player that is an easy target to arrest for a million different things. I thought the NBA had a rookie camp that taught them how to not act like buffoons.

Paxs speak...

John Paxson told Noah of “his disappointment in his actions,”

I'm confused

Noah DID NOT KNOW his license was suspended?

Are the police playing with him, or is he just dumb?

by KentuckyBullsFan on May 27, 2008 1:56 PM CDT reply actions

Or are you dumb?

It’s a fairly common thing to have a license suspended and not know it. Hence, why there’s a specific law for it.

give him a break

I didn’t know that either. I’ve always assumed that if your license was suspended, you knew about it. It’s not a widely known thing.

by NormVanBeer on May 27, 2008 2:20 PM CDT up reply actions

I should point out, though, if you can plead ignorance to something...

...and the cop believes you on the spot, it’s probably more widespread than one would imagine. I know it takes a little more thought than just lambasting a player on first reaction, so I forgive.

I didn't know that either, for the record.

Thanks for enlightening us in such a thoughtful manner, though.

Good God

this is getting absurd. Fool needs to get back to the Berto center. Quickly.

LMAO at the editorial note.

Having had the pleasure of some encounters with the Gainsville police, nothing could be more accurate.

Tyrus better do something illegal soon, or he is going to lose his title as the Chicago Bulls’ resident miscreant.

The chances for an improved jumpshot

and maybe even some low post moves just went up again. But so did the chances for him to get included in a larger deal…

2008 or bust.

by bullshooter on May 27, 2008 3:13 PM CDT reply actions

I'd say the chances of Noah showing up to practice and PR events on time

improved significantly. Being a goofball in Florida finally caught up with him, maybe he’ll take his job more seriously.

I'm no expert, but?

Dear God, the only crime a University rent-a-cop could find on a Memorial Day weekend
was a particular (even familiar, hmm…) Seven Foot Tall baby face Black guy in a Hummer doing twelve miles per hour over the speed limit?!? In South Florida Third only to Vegas and New Orleans in it’s decadence, it almost makes any lame-ass excuse he might use look credible!

University Cops

Clearly they were just trying to make sure things didn’t get too out of hand in the graduation climate. There’s enough chaos with the seniors – keep those alum off campus!

probation and a fine

for Mr. Noah

Chicago Bulls forward Joakim Noah accepted a deferred prosecution agreement Wednesday in his marijuana possession case, resulting in six months’ probation and a $200 fine.
