Are the members of the Duke Lacrosse Team innocent?

This is a very murky question.\n\nIt would seem reasonable that the team members would have been able to do this since they are rich (come on, they're at Duke!) However, the police have proven that no one on the team was involved. Pretty weird.\n\nIt could be that the stripper was lying so she could get some of their money (remember, they're rich). Come to think of it, this does sound alot like that Kobe Bryant case.

Well here's a quote from sportsnet.ca......you be the judge but if you ask me, I don't see even a flicker of resemblence!!!!!\n\n\n Last Thursday, Darcy Tucker told Chris Neil of the Ottawa Senators that he didn't want to fight because he was "a goal-scorer." \n\nThis, just 48 hours after Tucker's attack on Ottawa's defenseless super dustweight Patrick Eaves. Tucker was called many things in the 48 hours between the Eaves-troughing and his chat at centre ice with Neil, but I'd bet every last dollar that Dan Murphy owes me that "goal-scorer" was not among them.

I've known a couple. Some I understand are very sucsessful so I don't think it has anything to do with sanity, it's more of a behavioral problem. They just have a total lack of respect or regard for anything or anyone. One that I knew robbed his neighbor, got arrested, bailed out by his uncle, then stole his uncle's car and wallet while he slept and after he was arrested again a day later he tried to say he just escaped from his kidnappers. I'm not kidding, this really happened. No fear of the consequences for his actions no matter what they were. Oh, and to top it off the guy tried to lie about who he was when the police had his ID. That may be the loudest alarm of all, LIES. Even when they know you know they are lying, they will still look you in the eye and lie some more. They just do not care. Lucky for me the only ties I had was that I knew who they were. The ones that are good at it are hard to pick out, but they always trip up and expose themselfs for who and what they really are. Today a word that might be used to describe one would be "Player".

It's not that I think that bad calls are intentional, but when they are made, especially at crucial points in the game, they stand out.  Cases in point- the travelling call on B.C. and the non-goaltending call that went against Washington.  In both cases, the next possession altered the outcomes of those games.  At this point, it will be very difficult for the NCAA to pick a crew that has been consistent and eagle-eyed to ref the Final Four and Championship games.

Unfortunately that story is untrue.  It was on ESPN.com for a little while but it was taken off.  I believe that's what he was offered, he hasn't accepted yet though.\n\nTo person below me- Elias sucks?  I think not.  Before Elias came back the Devils were barely a playoff team and hardly staying above .500.  Elias comes on, quickly makes an impact, and at the end of the season we win the division with 101 points and sweep the Rangers in round 1.  And what kind of a season did the players on the Leafs have?  Did they make the playoffs?

No, they were just trying to gel with each other, like who plays here and there so I can pass the ball to them so they can get an excellent chance to score. Just like Team Canada in hockey, all the players are just trying to get used to how they play with each other so they can win the tournament.

LSU - 5 TIMES BIGGER AND MANY MORE OPPURTUNITIES. DUKE IS GETTING A BLACK EYE WITH THE LACROSSE SCANDAL AND REDDICK'S ARREST YESTERDAY. ALSO, TONS MORE IN SCHOLARSHIP MONEY GIVEN OUT.

It has shown that they are completely exposed in the paint. That is UCONN's specialty. But Duke should become a #1 seed come March Madness.

i see your point..i agree maybe they are just trying everything to win the game..and there's no problem with that..but playing it dirty doesn't make it right..that's why ppl call it cheating..it's morally wrong..and it's unfair to the other team..

I dont hate Duke but I dont hate the Tar Heels either.  I respect both teams and their respective coaches and players.\nI would have to say the Tar Heels coach is legendary but Coach K is not too far from it.

THe fans storming the court is definetly going to be one of the headlines in 1st and 10 tomorrow. But Florida State did good. They got an early lead, didn't go down by much, hit their free throws, and came back late in the game. Duke is now 4-2 whlie losing at half this season. Florida State showed everyone how to beat Duke.

no b/c they just may be INNOCENT--the court system isnt always right.

If they win it then they deserve to lift it. As to Brind'Amour taking blame if you had any sense of sports you would realize how intelligent it was. His taking blame was to take it OFF the team. A lot of players have done it. It is to take pressure from the rest of the team in a sense.

Dont forget that in divorces involving children, the trend is the court sides with the mother.  Take the rape case about the Duke U. Lacrosse team.  There has been no real evidence one way or another other than the victims word, and her identity is protected under law, but even if the players in question are found innocent, because their identities are public, they will always have to live down the facts of this case.  There is most definitely a double standard when it comes to women, and I think there needs to be balance brought back to all systems, not just legal.

absolutely not. he was sticking up for a teammate like players do all the time. he unfortunately took things a little too far and injured another player. it could've happened to anyone! would you like to be shunned for life if u made a mistake?

I am a HUGH Duke fan! They are the best program in college basketball over the last 20 years! People hate Duke for the same reason they hate the Yankees,Notre Dame football,Lakers,Canadians and Cowboys....if you don't cheer for a winner then chances are you hate them!
