Quack Fix: Speedy Sumler Says He's A Duck; Scott Talks Pac-10 TV.

PrintYesterday Paul said he wasn't going to mention Jeremy Mustacholi, but then he posted this. Unlike some, I'm okay with Paul's editorial comment, "Good riddance". I do hope JM will get his life back on track. It's not unreasonable for some to feel bitter when you contemplate the kind of season Oregon was poised have for before JM's legal issues and subsequent dismissal. But dammit, I'M NOT GONNA CRY. And here's why:
- We scored another sweet verbal out of Florida! The Ducks got a verbal yesterday from possibly the fastest guy in the 2011 class. WR Tacoi Sumler hails from Miami and has been electronically clocked for a 4.29 40-yard. Read more here. Check out Sumler's Scouts.com bio, and some video highlights.
- Aaron Fentress at The Oregonian continues his all-decade theme, today looking at Oregon's offensive line. It's easy to put Max Unger at the top of the heap, but my favorite from Fentress' list was Enoka Lucas.
- Stephen Alexander of the Portland Tribune caught up with the current Ducks and found the team striking a balance between hard work and summer fun.
- Chip Kelly is going to pick one QB...I think we're all clear on that. Rob Moseley follows up with some insights following Chip's radio interview with ESPN.
- Pac-10 Commissional Larry Scott continues to deliver. Finally, some much-anticipated details about his plan to launch of a Pac-10 television channel. Nice little dig at the Big 10 network, though he probably didn't intend it that way.
- Want to check out a Ducks practice this fall? I recommend it if you get the chance, even more so if you've got some young Duck fans. Here's the fall practice schedule.

Sumler
That Sumler commit is huge.
Class is shaping up great, though way heavily skewed offensively so far. Let’s hope we can get some quality defensive guys to balance this out.
good point
I think we just got ourselves a guaranteed top 10 draft pick if Davis is still alive in 4 years.

well.
this is interesting.
Wolfard is sitting in a Eugene coffee shop listening to a relayed version of Masoli’s account of that night. At the end of it, he says, “By his version he didn’t steal anything, and by mine it’s not clear that he did.”
“So if the prints didn’t match up,” a reporter asked, “what did you go on as far as deciding to charge Masoli?”
Said Gardner (the prosecutor): “There was a lot of other evidence. He had been seen in the fraternity house. We had some surveillance from other locations, we had witnesses who have come forward. It was clear — I think you probably all heard the 911 tape — the reason the victim is out of breath is from having chased Mr. Embry. There were many other circumstances which made it clear who was present.” (Gardner did not respond to numerous interview requests from SI.com by phone and email.)
Statement by Jeff Palmer:
“En route to the hospital, the truck made a brief stop at a nearby residence. I then witnessed Embry remove two Apple laptop computers and a guitar from the rear seat of the truck and take the items inside the apartment. I was then dropped off at the hospital.“I had no knowledge at the time that those same items were reported stolen earlier that evening from a fraternity house. I never came in contact with Jeremiah Masoli that evening or heard anyone in the truck mention his name. I was never questioned by police about the events I observed that evening.”
honestly, I can’t say for sure whether this is a manufactured story or not. I mean, theres only so many times you can be in the wrong place-wrong time. But with these statements and quote, I’m not so sure Jmas didn’t get somewhat railroaded.

Also, pretty amazing (to me anyway) how Embry comes off like a complete douche in this account. You know, besides the felonious stealing.
I don’t know what to think anymore. Piecing it all together, this account does make sense and I’m somewhat tempted to think differently of Masoli. At the same time, even before this I still wished him the best in the future so I guess things haven’t changed much. Maybe I should go back to work.
my thoughts exactly
and yet something bugs me about this. What was the basis for people advising him to take the plea deal. Sounds like the DA was making an example.
Official officer of the office of official blasphemy. Where what you say works 60% of the time, every time.
Sounds like it was basically scaring them with the fact that the DA tends to win cases, the evidence sure didn’t seem like it was enough to convict. Then again, placed in a situation where I could potentially end up in jail for 2 years (even if the odds are small), I might react the same way as well.
The whole situation just sucks.
Masoli’s problem was that the DA had evidence of him lying, which totally changes things. If he was honest the entire time, and he didn’t talk to the police without an attorney, it is probably that Masoli would still be a Duck today.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
lying is what screwed him
but even if he lied, there’s no reason to cop to a burglary charge. the prosecutor appears to have only had the lying and some circumstance-based evidence. How the fuck do you know 100% that Wolfard was out of breath for sure because he was chasing embry. You don’t. He would have had to plea to something, but much less than those charges.

But his attorney told him to talk to the police. That’s a BAD ATTORNEY!!!

I know that
But honestly, when you know your innocent, you want to give a voluntary statement more often than not, because when a suspect declines to cooperate initially with police, they’re just asking for it.
That being said, he should have done that @ the police station w/ his lawyer.
Official officer of the office of official blasphemy. Where what you say works 60% of the time, every time.
This is actually true.
Masoli was walking to class two days after the SAE theft when he got a call from Lefiti informing him that two Eugene police detectives were at his apartment and wanted to talk to him. During his 10-minute walk home Masoli was referred to a legal services hotline by a family member, and was put in touch with a Eugene-based defense attorney named John Kim, who after speaking with the detectives advised Masoli to give them a voluntary statement.
It would be interesting to know the extent that John Kim actually advised him. Lying about not being at the frat is essentially a guilty plea. John Kim should know better.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
Maybe lawyer says
“Did you do anything wrong? No? Okay, tell them what happened, but only the truth.” Still not necessarily good advice, but not the worst.
Disclaimer: everything I know about basketball I learned on Blazersedge.
Its generally a good idea to do so
in the presence of a lawyer. after talking to the lawyer. Not just on a whim. No way in hell should he have gone home. he should have gone to the lawyer’s office ASAP

I too should be getting back to work
but my boss knows better then to get between me and anything Duck related… After reading the 52 page police report, when it was first available to the public, I could not see how they had any real hard evidence on Masoli. Innocent or not I have been trying to believe he was innocent. Now after reading this SI article I’m finally going to settle with believing he is innocent. No, he shouldn’t have lied to Chip or the police and yes I will miss him trucking fools in his green and yellow (black, grey and carbon) this year. Though I’m definitely a duck fan through think and thin I will most definitely be cheering him when he plays at Ole Miss.
I'm confused
Did somebody plant weed on him, and tell him to drive without a license? While this was a completely seperate incident he obviously wasn’t trying to stay out of trouble
"I used to play sports. Then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I'm good at everything." - Demetri Martin
On that note, that whole section about the driving citation and their reluctance to talk about Darron Thomas made me a little bit nervous..
He's on probation
He isn’t going to say it was his. Even though it was. Who gets into another person’s car and puts a “small amount of marijuana in the glove box”. Either way, he had a suspended license, and he was on probation, he shouldn’t have been driving or carrying pot.

Had Masoli not been caught a few months later for driving with weed,
I would be feeling much more concerned that the legal system screwed this one up, and that Masoli got unfairly kicked off of the team.

For Jeremiah’s sake, I hope most of this story is true. But I also have heard that the family had hired a PR firm to help him rehabilitate his image and I can’t help but wonder how much they were involved in this story happening and it’s contents. Gotta be some spin here.
I'm sure there's spin
but the quotes I picked out from the story speak for themselves.

They really do. I’m planning on getting to the article this afternoon, but those quotes are simply unbelievable.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
That's how they knew to talk to Palmer
Glenn Bunting would also like you to believe that Jeremiah Masoli isn’t a thug. Formerly an investigative reporter for the Los Angeles Times, where he spent 22 years, Bunting is currently managing director of Sitrick & Company, a crisis management firm. Sitrick’s San Francisco office, which Bunting manages, was made aware of the case through a friend of the Masolis who was a local lawyer and knew its details. After meeting Masoli and his parents and researching the case, Bunting and a colleague agreed to represent the family. It was Bunting who noticed the line in the police report about Embry and his roommates giving another Oregon player a lift later that night. Bunting followed up by asking Masoli to approach the player — long snapper Jeff Palmer — and have him sign a statement as to what he witnessed.

Washington obviously goes undefeated in Pac-10 play because their QB is athletic and a total stud muffin, and the other nine school completely implode each other’s ambitions (sounds like the Pac-10 to me…) and there is a nine way tie for ninth place. Sounds reasonable

I know that his sig is a play off of “I Love My Ducks”, and I know the beavs sold a few “I Hate Your Ducks”. It’s just typical that even “good people” beavs can’t help but throw digs at the Ducks.
Dude, we have Cougars, Beavers, Huskies, Golden Bears, and Trojans hit this site all the time. Every once in a while, a Bruin is even spotted! Connor has been polite enough, and is level headed enough to have a real conversation about Pac-10 sports without it dwindling to “u guys suck lol” or a flame war. He’s legit.
Furthermore, we’ve all thrown digs at each other. Bavers, barkrats, fuskies, Jock Licker, ATQ South, stanfurd, U$C, fUCLA – plus a bajillion others have all been thrown around here.
Lastly signatures aren’t specific to a site, but for SBNation overall. Mine carries over to the MMA blog, any NFL team blog, Building the Dam… all of them. It’s all cool. He Hate Our Ducks.

by Brian Floyd on Jul 29, 2010 12:59 PM PDT up reply actions
From Miller’s blog:
Kelly was asked about the “rumor” that the Ducks have switched from a 4-3 defense to a “hybrid 3-4”: “We haven’t switched our defense. I don’t know why that keeps coming up.” (By the way, Kelly made this point in a very animated way to me on the flight from New York to Los Angeles when I told him it was a frequent mailbag item).
I wonder why he gets so peeved that this comes up. He knows people are asking the question, but he refuses to address why that question would even arise.

We didn’t switch up our D, we’ve played it for a year. Ok, well then why did you switch LAST YEAR? You cannot tell me that they played any 3-4 two years ago.

To Mr. Bair
What was your favorite hit from last season?

I really wanted to think that video was dorky, but I got chills.

They showed a video at the end of the media day
I’m sure its on their site by now.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I agree it was pretty awesome
But did anyone notice how they kept saying “American” football? What’s the full story with that? Do they think they will be able to market the PAC 10 out of the USA?

Yep, that's the point.
The Pac-10 is the gateway to Asia. There’s serious rumblings that we’re going to go after Asia and perhaps even have a few games there.
Or add Japan to the Pac 16
"Legends are made on the shores of Lake Washington...like Jonathan Stewart, and Dennis Dixon."
I wonder how long it would take them to completely reinvent football and destroy us at it.
Let’s go for University of British Columbia, or some Mexican University

I know you all hate Petros
But he’s sitting next to an even worse broadcaster. Steve Physioc is terrible. He was the Angels TV play-by-play guy for awhile. Not good.

You’re going to knock the Ducks for their question mark at QB, but then you pick OSU? Yeah, that makes sense. I can’t defend you if you’re going to use spurious reasoning.

Even worse
The announcing team for many of the ESPN/ABC Pac-10 games this year is apparently Brock Huard and Fouts (even the awesome Fouts can’t totally make up for Huard).
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Sorry meant Huard and Belotti
Still not great.

Really? I thought he was okay for awhile too, but after a couple years of listening to him regularly he began to make me angry. So maybe it’s just slow torture.

Most people give the Physioc-Petros team crap.
Honestly, they entertain me. Petros is probably one of the stupidest meatheads to drop into a broadcast team since Tony Siragusa, but at least he spawns hilarious moments for all to remember. He also generally appreciates the Ducks and what they’re doing on the field, which is always appreciated.
My yoke is heavy.
Or French Stewart

Petros is okay as a color guy
But I really do enjoy him as a sports talk host, even though he couldn’t give a crap about baseball or hockey. He’s not sensationalist and he’s not a homer, even though he went to USC.

I realized today it's just his voice that gets me
He’s actually not bad at all outside of the voice.
Physioc, on the other hand, is one of my least favorite (Brian Davis).
Had to give up my chair to Blair...
Asked me if i was sure to give up my seat to him so he could eat while I was at the Oregon table. Can’t say I wasn’t intimidated.
He’s cool though, Chip Kelly, not so much. Looked like he wanted to leave ASAP.
With the types of questions that Eugene/Portland media has asked him, I cannot imagine that he actually likes them.
It probably takes a lot of effort not to say “WHAT THE FUCK?!? WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?!?”
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
No kidding
I can’t wait for the media to ask him who’s going to start at QB this fall… oh what? They have?

I hope someone asks him this the first day of fall camp.
Official officer of the office of official blasphemy. Where what you say works 60% of the time, every time.
By all accounts Bair is a very nice guy,
And everyone knows that Coach Kelly despises the media. I cannot blame him, he gets asked the dumbest bullshit questions I have ever heard on a weekly basis.

Yeah i'll work on that
Any ideas on where I could get fixed up with a fake ID that said “axemen”?
