The Florida Bengals? The Cincinnati Gators?
There are a lot of college players that emulate the NFL pros. Sometimes this does not turn out to be a good thing.
Safety Tony Joiner is the eighth Florida player in the last nine months to get in legal trouble, a growing concern for the defending national champions.
Joiner, a senior captain and defensive leader, was arrested early Tuesday and charged with felony burglary, police said.
Joiner, who ranks fifth on the team with 20 tackles, was arrested around 5 a.m. outside the fenced impound lot of a local towing company, Gainesville police said.
But the owner of the property leased by the towing company, Stan Forron, said Tuesday afternoon that the whole thing is a misunderstanding.
Joiner was accused of pushing a heavy electric gate open to enter the lot in an attempt to retrieve his girlfriend's car, which was being held in lieu of a $76 towing bill, a police report said.
You would think the SEC boosters would have been paying Joiner enough to afford a $76 towing bill. What is wrong with the boosters? Pay these guys what they are worth.
And talk about a stupid crime. 76 must also be his SAT score. They might just notice a car missing.
