Quack Fix: Lowe commits, Beard in stable condition and set for surgery, Masoli and Embry not suspects in campus theft

PrintWhew, if you missed out on the excitement yesterday, let that be a lesson. You never know what can happen in the world of quack.
- The first big news yesterday was the commitment of ATH Keanon Lowe, who had been committed to Washington for some time (Washington fans responded in very mature fashion to the news). Stealing a recruit from the Huskies in the final weeks is sure to make any Duck fan happy. Lowe is a great addition to the class. He'll likely play the WR/TZR position, and has the speed to really make an impact there. While Lowe was only recently given an offer at receiver, he should do very well at the position. It's an exciting time for Duck recruiting when our fallback options for receiver are 4* players.
- UO kicker Rob Beard was hospitalized Saturday night after being beaten on the streets of Eugene. Beard apparently tried to help break up a fight that UO kicker Mike Bowlin was in, and ended up on the ground and was kicked repeatedly. He was in critical condition after being brought to the hospital, but has stabilized, and is set for facial reconstructive surgery today. Our best wishes are with Rob during this time, and hope that the assailant(s) can be brought to justice.
- There have been a lot of rumors swirling in the past 24 hours regarding a reported theft at a fraternity house on UO's campus. The latest verifiable news is that while both Jeremiah Masoli and Garrett Embry were mentioned in the police report, neither are considered suspects at this time, though police want to interview Masoli and Embry. The Register-Guard also has a report on the incident, and they are refusing to even name the two players. Their report mentions that there are "persons of interest" that police have not yet been able to reach, but they have not been named by the authorities, as this incident is still under investigation. For all of the rumor that has been swirling, this is really the first actual news that has been reported on the situation. If actual news breaks, you can find it here.
- The first sites on the theft rumor were DuckSportsNews.com and UOSportsDude.com. Both have handled this situation very poorly. DSN started by reposting some very sketchy tweets, while UOSD took it fifteen steps further by posting an incredibly inflammatory post heavy on accusation on light on fact. Though both sites posted disclaimers, the language of the posts did not convey the skepticism that should be attached to these legal issues. Both sites are already coming under criticism. I'm guessing that this will only grow over the next few days. Both could have taken a lesson from one of our blogging godfathers, Brian over at mgoblog.
I'm sure there will be more news on these issues throughout the day. If you find anything else of substance, leave it in the comments! GO DUCKS!

as an aspriring journalist i can understand why the two would be so aggressive on this
It’s a chance for an unrecognized and low-level group to become stars for a few days. However, they handled it horribly, naming names, and basically saying “while these are not fact yet, this is what happened.”
my other question: why has nobody come out to defend embry like people have masoli…..Something smells there…

thing is
if you’re wrong, you can also do incredible damage to your career just the same.
I see your point on Embry vs. Masoli. I think the same defenses apply to both. Naturally, fans are going to freak out about Masoli, as he’s one of the stars of the team whereas Embry is a fairly obscure player. You have to remember, most fans are only concerned wtih how things affect wins and losses. Not saying that’s a good thing (after all, we’re talking about two young men here), but that’s the way it is.

There is also something wrong about saying “BREAKING NEWS” and then only later reporting it as a rumor. Even if it comes out that it’s true, that’s a horrible way to handle it

i dunno. I'm not defending Masoli OR Embry.
But I’m not accusing them of anything, either.
I think part of the JM freakout is that people are aware that he has a documented history of trouble with the law. You don’t get the benefit of the doubt very often under those circumstances.
those who do not remember history should read my blog...
While you may or may not get the benefit of the doubt, how this situation has been handled is an example of just how bad the internet can be. It’s been a giant game of telephone, with few facts getting out, and rumor spreading and growing by the minute.
In legal matters such as this, when no arrests have been made or suspects named, all parties deserve the benefit of the doubt.
As far as Masoli’s previous legal troubles, they were quite a long time ago, were of a very very different nature, and should have no bearing on this case. I would also be curious as to if his previous misdeeds would even be on his record anymore, considering he plead guilty and was a juvenile at the time.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
"Should" have no bearing, true, but the world doesn't run on shoulds.
The juve court records were sealed. All we know about this is what Masoli’s already copped to in a published story from a few months back. Don’t recall if it was RG or O, not that it matters.
“Quite a long time ago” I would take issue with. He was 15. What’s he now, 21? Six years isn’t that long ago.. but at my age everything seems like yesterday, so maybe I’m not a good judge.
those who do not remember history should read my blog...
Six years isn’t that long in the grand scheme of things, but when it’s more than 1/4 of your life, and you do most of your growing up during that time, its a significant period.
I really feel that dragging up that old stuff based only on rumor is totally unfair, to both Masoli and Embry.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
no argument.
it is totally unfair.
but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen.
Unfortunately, incredibly true. Especially when you have people on the internet trying to play journalist and failing hardcore.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
True
It’s not so much that Masoli’s past troubles have any bearing on the CASE….but they do have a tremendous impact on the presumption of innocence.
Whether or not he actually did it is yet to be determined, and will get the full scope of the police force….but when you’ve had brushes with the law before, people stop giving you the benefit of the doubt.

True enough.
Also, let’s not forget how damaging this sort of “reporting” could damage Masoli’s and Embry’s image to peers, press, and fans. This is on level with tabloid journalism – a complete disregard of damaging the subject for the rare chance at getting the “Heard it here first!”.

One of the comments on the UW blog says UW is ranked number eight for this year’s recruiting class! Uh according to who???
by westspec on Jan 25, 2010 7:54 AM PST via mobile reply actions
ESPN. however, the schools w/ a large number of early commits are always ranked at the top by ESPN. it seems like this it the first year where many Pac 10 schools are pulling in very good classes. between SC, UCLA, Oregon, Stanford and UW, the “rankings” will shake out when actual LOI’s show up next week. it’ll be like Christmas morning…

They’re actually ranked 21st by ESPN before the Lowe decommit.
They’re ranked 8th according to scout, though I don’t know anyone that takes Scout seriously.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
thanks for the correction. Scout takes total points (individual players are all given a specific value) so of course when get 25+ verbals, you’ll be fairly high…

UOSD has already established himself as someone who is more interested in attention than facts.
This is exactly how I would have expected someone with UOSD’s level of integrity to “report” the issue. Get the attention early, make sure the whole world knows what YOU think, don’t even consider writing the lead with those silly weasel words like “allegedly” or “is suspected of”. Bury your hedging by saying “oh, reminder, this is just a rumor” in the third paragraph — anybody who retweets isn’t going to get that far in 140 characters.
DSN, for its part, is culpable in merely linking and reflecting without a filter. But UOSD is the main culprit here.
As for Twitter.. I submit that the fact the twitstorm on this issue was initiated by an OSU fan will eventually be seen as a significant factor.

My point was that he has been accused of theft, not robbery. There is a massive difference.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
The news just scares me in general… if Masoli was foolish enough to be around people stealing the first time… why put yourself in a position to do it again… especially with an entire football team/university/town counting on you.

Put himself around people stealing? At this point, the only thing that we know is that he was at a fraternity party.

I agree with OP in the sense that I don’t like to hear this type of news. When you’re at a frat party though, anything can and will happen.

I mean, it’s obviously not good to have your QB accused of theft. But I think that (at least with what we know right now) it’s a massive stretch to say Masoli was putting himself in a position to be around people stealing.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I hope your right. What’s the deal with Embry then? I know Masoli was only named on the police report… Is Embry going to be charged or whatever?

The pick was stupid
But it probably never happens if Childress (or whoever on the sidelines) doesn’t send 12 guys into the huddle. If they don’t get the penalty, they run the ball or call a safe pass play to try and pick up a few yards, then they kick the FG.
Also there were three fumbles in the game, two of which occurred deep in NO territory. The Favre pick is what people are going to focus on, but I don’t think this one can be laid at his feet.

Yeah, all year, the Saints have been great at takeaways, but not so great at yardage. Somehow, the entire national media missed this and is reporting “The Vikings lost the game; the Saints didn’t win this.”
Also, Tebow was amazing in his first game back from a concussion. That wasn’t the Gator defense at all.
Also, there was a huge national consensus of “Texas is a huge underdog.”
Also, a team that loses yearly to in-conference patsies should be given a free pass for those games.
Also, any team from the SEC is dominant, just because they’re in the SEC.

Interceptions hurt far more than touchdowns ever could.
An interception or fumble has a psychological effect on the team, almost letting the air out of a balloon. The entire year Favre plays within his own physical limitations and in the crux of the season, he reverts bad to old habits.

A message from Duck Sports News
jtlight -
Thanks for the feedback. And thanks for contributing this post for a link on Duck Sports News early this morning.
Yesterday, there was a bit of commotion.
Unfortunately, the news was…well…unfortunate.
But we were not the ones making any of that news.
All we did yesterday was pull together what others were saying online that might be of interest to Duck fans in a blog post form. And that’s no different than what we do on a daily basis.
We did not name names. We did not make accusations.
And we did not editorialize on the links.
The only “reporting” we did was to pull some information from the Eugene Police Department’s online dispatch call log, highlighting the event in question.
The same can not be said of the online sources we were linking to in the blog.
While we think your concerns are suspect, we promise not to rob you of any future web traffic.
Thanks,

I believe the criticism over Duck Sports News came from the linking of said article, passing it off as a news source.
I’m guessing you likely wouldn’t link to a fanshot article here about Chip Kelly reportedly stole JShufelt’s heart (If you would, I’ll write that up). With my source being my BFF that heard it at a frat party. It’s hardly news. It’s TMZ: College Football Edition.

Jay,
I appreciate you commenting here. But I stand by what I wrote above. I do not think that DSN handled the situation in a very responsible way. To me, there is no difference between you yourself naming names, and posting screenshots that named names, especially on a DSN blogpost, which don’t happen on a very regular basis. I simply think that propagating and forwarding these rumors, when they can have legal consequences, is a terrible idea.
My main problem in this situation is with Becker, whose posts could easily be considered libelous. And while DSN did not come close into crossing into that territory, DSN is also a much bigger, and more reputable name. And DSN was a major playing in getting these rumors to a much greater audience.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
"Aiding and abetting" libel.
If Becker’s original posts were libelous, DSN could easily be drawn into any litigation resulting from his original posting.
Becker’s “reporting” didn’t go viral until it was picked up by DSN. The timeline is pretty easy to decipher — just do a search for the word “Masoli” on twitter.
The “I didn’t report it, They reported it, I’m just repeating what he said” defense is pretty, pretty weak.
The only reason to disseminate information like this in the first place is to draw more attention to your own site. Hiding under the cover of “All we did was pull together information” is self-serving nonsense. The name of the site is “Duck Sports News”, after all, and rumors are not news.
Maybe you should take yourself more seriously.

--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
A couple more thoughts on this:
I can’t believe that the student is talking about this so publicly. If you are serious about pressing charges, that seems like an absolutely stupid thing to do.
If that’s his story, I can’t see the charges sticking, if it even got to that point.
Third, Masoli and Embry would be insane to talk to police in this situation without the promise of immunity (any competent lawyer would recommend this). Remember kids, if you’re accused of anything, or could possibly be accused, DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE.

— Kelly’s damn certain about getting Owa, and/or

— King has gone silent to Cal and Kelly’s tired of chasing him.

Someone should check to see if embry was a part of the frat
Proud winner of the 2009 ATQ Jersey Contest
Here's the latest…
Jeremiah Masoli, Garrett Embry are Oregon players named in police report, student says
Links to the article, not Duck Sports News.
okay, so now we have something to work with
here’s the most interesting part to me:
“The minute I stepped on the staircase I said to myself, ’Wow, Masoli and Embry are in our house right now,” Wolfard told The Oregonian on Sunday afternoon. “Masoli has a very distinctive face, very distinctive facial hair — not to mention I see him on TV all the time.”
Wolfard said he didn’t think anything of Masoli and Embry’s presence at first given that he’d seen them at the house before. But when they started to act “suspicious” — and appeared to be hiding something — he demanded to know what they were doing. It was then that Wolfard noticed Embry was carrying what appeared to be Wolfard’s projector screen, valued at $560.
Wolfard said the two players then ran out the back door. Wolfard said Masoli fled north and Embry went east up Agate Street as Wolford chased him. Blocks later, Wolfard says, Embry stopped running, gave him back his projector screen and said, “You’ve got it back, now you better get out of here.”
Wolfard, who said there was no evidence of forced entry at the fraternity house, returned to his room to find his guitar and computer missing and then called police. Max Iantorno, 20, a sophomore, arrived at the fraternity house soon afterward to find his door open and his laptop missing.
1. If this is true, Embry is slow as hell.
2. Are they any other witnesses confirming that Embry had the projector.
2. He returned to the house to find laptops and a guitar missing? Can this be linked to Masoli and Embry?
Basically, here’s the deal. If EPD can find the stolen items in Embry and/or Masoli’s possession, charges can proceed. If not, case closed. I’m not “irrational sports fan.” If they did it, they should serve whatever punishment fits the crime. But methinks it would be tough to charge them without the loot in their possession.
I also find it impressive that he chased him all the way from 14th to Agate Street, or that one could head east on Agate Street.

so now it comes down to a drunken(most likely) kid at 1 am seeing celebrity and then something going missing at a kegger

depends
What will happen is the police will question masoli and embry. Based on those statements and a detailed interview of the victim, if I thought they did it I would.
Based solely on the info right now: no way. Its too early.
You also have to remember some of the terrible prosecutors out there who uses cases to get famous. Couple years ago with nifong and the duke rape case.

Yeah, but for Masoli to have robbed him would have meant that Masoli used force or threatened to use force to obtain the items. Simply taking someone’s stuff is not what the word robbery means. It’s annoying to someone for whom the distinction is important.

This story is going to develop further...
…but likely won’t get further than accusations. My guess is the University finds a way to settle it with the student, rather than let this go much further in the public eye.
I know very little about Garrett Embry, but I do know Masoli has a past of finding trouble. A guy I work with knows his dad well and said that Masoli was shipped off to Hawaii to attend St. Louis after “getting into some trouble” in Daly City as a teenager. I have no idea what any of that means, and it means absolutely nothing beyond coincidence and hearsay at this point.
Addicted To Quack. If you’re not into the whole brevity thing.
The RG did a piece on Masoli’s past a while ago. He was kicked out of school for some kind of involvement with robbery (again, that’s robbery, not the theft that’s being accused). I honestly don’t think that his past issues have anything to do with what is going on right now.

What I dont get is Max says he came down the stairs and said “WOW Masoli and Embry are in my house!” then later he mentions theyve been there before….why would he react that way if theyd been there before? My guess is there was some confrontation and later stuff was missing so they blamed the people who they had trouble with earlier…the whole part about the chase has way too many statements which dont match up to fact like the direction on Agate and the fact he was able to catch Embry….

Masoli and Embry stuffed a guitar and two laptops up their shirts, grabbed a projector screen, teleported across campus with this Max guy, one of them ran east on a north-south street, gave back the screen, and threatened the guy.

Wolfard said he didn’t think anything of Masoli and Embry’s presence at first given that he’d seen them at the house before. But when they started to act “suspicious” — and appeared to be hiding something — he demanded to know what they were doing. It was then that Wolfard noticed Embry was carrying what appeared to be Wolfard’s projector, valued at $560.

Do you ever wonder what would happen if it came out that a guy like Lebron James was using those same PEDs? Baseball is easy to go after because nobody outside of Boston watches it anymore. But if athletes in a mainstream sport like Basketball, pro Football, or Competitive Curling were on The Dope, would Sportcenter implode in an orgy of nonstop coverage, or shut down because they couldn’t deal with the thought of attacking their favorite media lovechildren?
It’s just interesting to me where if you take PEDs in the MLB, you get blacklisted from the Hall of Fame. If you’re Shawne Merriman, you make the Pro Bowl the same season you get suspended for using PEDs.

I love baseball and watch it all the time
It’s way more popular than the NBA, for instance. Not that I care.
But baseball gets a ton of sanctimony because of all the historical connotations. People think of US sports history and they think of Mantle and Maris, and Ruth and Jackie Robinson and all of that. It’s nostalgic.
It’s also the only sport where records mean anything. Think about it, how many people could tell you what the record is for most TD passes? Or rushing TDs? But you ask anyone even remotely interested in baseball what the number 56 means, and he’ll say it was Joe DiMaggio’s consecutive hits streak. Or the number 714 or 755. Or .406. Because people care about the sanctity of the numbers, people care about the integrity of those numbers.
Does it make sense? Not really, but the media can make a lot out of stories that don’t make a bit of sense.

Baseball has no sanctimony if you grew up watching the Padres.

I’m just saying, baseball is held to a different standard because of the way it developed as a sport in this country.

Do you think Masoli’s ability to scramble in the Rose Bowl was hampered by the laptop and guitar stuffed down his pants? Getting to the edge isn’t easy with a flatscreen TV hidden in your armpit.

There was an episode of The Simpsons where Apu caught Kearney buying beer with a fake ID and said “If you tell me where you got this I’ll pretend not to see the ice cream sandwitches hidden in your armpits” and there’s a brief image of him standing there, melting ice cream bleeding through his sleeves and a case of beer in hand.

Senior Bowl notes
USC S Taylor Mays had a highlight-reel hit on Citadel WR Andre Roberts on a seam route and dislodged the ball, but on the very next play Oklahoma State QB Zac Robinson overthrew Alabama TE Colin Peek and Mays could have had an easy interception but was looking for the big hit instead and completely missed the ball.

Embry drops the screen and Masoli and Embry both runs out to see what’s going on since his teammates are involved. During the chaos someone takes the laptops and guitar and because of everyone was drunk, the frat boys think it was Masoli and Embry.

Make no doubt about this kid can make an impact on either side of the ball and is ticketed for early playing time.

It's ironic.
For years they dismissed Oregon as a rival, insisting that their only real rivals were USC and (because they couldn’t deny it) Wazzu.
Now that they’ve made a habit of being stomped like a narc at a biker rally every year, they want to make a rivalry out of it.
And every time they get a new coach, they declare “the border has been closed.” Seems we get one or two blue chippers out of the state of Washington every year. Just sayin’.

But I can’t believe they can be so sensitive that they can’t take a little factual pointing out that if their recruiting is so stellar and superior than ours why can’t they beat us? But you know they are going to regain their “rightful” place in the upper echelon of the pac-10 under the Sark. Blah Blah Blah. I fondly remember Jim Lambright claiming there is no rivalry between us. Then why do they love to talk so much smack?
in many ways, I find the way the tables have reversed to be truly interesting. At least we admit the rivalry at this point. Even when I did a Q+A with John back during football season, he dismissed it being a rivalry and considered the WSU one more important.

Take a look at the Wikipedia page for UW football sometime.
They claim like 19 national championships, including 1990, when they finished 9-2, lost to eventual 1/2-NC Colorado and a crap UCLA team.
There used to be a “Northwest Championship” section on there. Someone updated it to point out that UW had finished last in the “NW Championship” standings for six straight years. Shortly afterwards the section was removed. But, being Wikipedia, you can look at the history of the edits. Funny stuff.

Yup, flat pathetic. I've told this story a million times on here, but:
The two years I lived in Seattle in the mid nineties, we were lucky enough to beat them two years in a row. BOTH YEARS, a few months after the game, it came up in casual conversation, and the Husky friend/acquainance I was talking to was going on about how fun it was to beat the Ducks this year. I was unable to convince them they were wrong with words, the arrogance and myopia was so entrenched. I turned to the internet, and they turned embarrassed. Two different people, two years in a row.
Crazy, I thought I was living in an cult. I was.

Hmmm, unfortunately, I trust the Tribune one point seven percent more than the SC blog.
Still odd given his past statements.

Bah
That’s no good. D-line was really something I hoped would be improved. All the running back recruits are fantastic, but they can’t fill lanes and rush the passer.

Hi guys, this is diehardoaklandfan aka UOSportsDude using Musgrave's account.
Just wondering what you thought of my last bit of investigative journalism, let me know your thoughts.

Just fine..
other than it wasn’t “investigative”, and it sure wasn’t “journalism”, I think you did a bang-up job.
Now, where’s my $42,000?
those who do not remember history should read my blog...
You need to talk to Musgrave about that.

And all I see is Masoli didn’t do it, UW-Oregon still hate each other, and Amanda Pflugrad…..hot diggity.
You forgot
The Red Vines vs. Twizzlers debate. Although it wasn’t much of a debate, it spawned a Tako Tuesday, and that in and of itself is a good thing. All of the other items you mention make this the perfect AtQ post!
May we hand you your taints on a silver platter...
