It's been 45 minutes since the last post in the football forum. And you needed some posts in your thread. Thought I'd help out here.

I hope Lloyd Lake has better evidence than what he was talking about in that interview, because the burden of proof is on him

Did u see the HBO interview with Lake? The guy has phone calls recorded with very incriminating evidence and also backing his side of the story.

Yeah, and the guy's also taking the fifth amendment -- in depositions taken for his own Civil lawsuit against Bush!!

Can you top that? You sue someone in court, and then when cross-examined you refuse to answer on the grounds it might tend to incriminate yourself?

If you want to take USC and Bush down, better not hang your hopes on this ex-con.

The ongoing Reggie Bush cash-and-benefits saga took another strange turn yesterday when a man with a gun showed up at the scheduled deposition of Lloyd Lake in downtown San Diego.

The man was a retired police officer and private security guard hired by Bush's attorney, David Cornwell, and had a permit to carry the weapon. Cornwell said he was advised to take such precautions because of previous threats involving Lake and Lake's history as a convicted felon with gang ties.
But Lake and his attorney saw things differently. Lake refused to give his deposition under such “intimidation,” so they left without Lake giving testimony.

“He was sitting five feet behind and to the side of Lloyd, staring menacingly at Lloyd, with his arms folded and with his gun,” said Brian Watkins, Lake's attorney.

Watkins said the man flashed the weapon at Lake shortly after Lake arrived to testify under oath about giving Bush cash and benefits during Bush's football tenure at USC.

The deposition was part of a lawsuit Lake filed in October against Bush and his parents. It seeks repayment of $291,600 from Bush and his family for alleged cash, a vehicle and other goods. The NCAA continues to investigate the case to determine whether Bush or his family received improper benefits from Lake, a former Bush family friend, and Lake's former partner, Michael Michaels. Lake and Michaels have said they were starting a marketing company, along with Bush's stepfather, that would feature Bush as the primary client.

Cornwell previously has accused Lake of extortion in this case. He said he met with Watkins in January 2006, when he alleged Watkins advised him that Lake was a gang member he couldn't control if his demands weren't met. He also said Lake made a threat against Bush in December.

Watkins denied those allegations and said it was part of a “pattern of intimidation” by Cornwell to scare Lake off the case. Previously, Watkins said Cornwell noted to them he had friends in the FBI and threatened to call Lake's probation officer.

“We met with private security, and the unanimous conclusion was when we are in Lake's presence, we should take appropriate security precautions,” Cornwell said. Cornwell said they offered to have the security guard sit outside the conference room, but Lake ultimately refused.

Watkins said he has sent Bush a notice about taking his deposition Feb. 25. However, the state court said Bush has not yet been served his suit papers. If the New Orleans Saints running back does eventually give his deposition, Watkins has said he will turn over the transcript to the NCAA to help with its investigation.

If the NCAA determines Bush or his family accepted improper benefits, Bush could be declared retroactively ineligible, jeopardizing his 2005 Heisman Trophy and several USC victories in which he played.

The defendants in the suit also plan to take the depositions of Lake's mother and sister.

Bush previously has said he and his family have done nothing wrong and that the facts will come out eventually.

Asked if his clients had met with or planned to meet with NCAA officials about the case, Cornwell said, “You're going beyond the scope of what I'm prepared to talk about.”

Michaels reached a settlement with Bush and his parents last year in which he received an undisclosed sum and agreed not to talk about the case.

It's not known when Lake's deposition will be rescheduled and under what conditions, but Watkins said he would ask the court to prevent further “intimidation.”

That article is 100% retarded. Poor Reggie suffering from late hits and evil elbows! Rdnecks scorned!

I mean...It says Reggie should admit guilt, but the entire time it defends or rationalizes his actions while making Okies sound like whiny morons who only come in from digging worms, fishing, and hauling hay to watch the Sooners and attempt to bring about the downfall of the condoms.

All those things are both fun and right, but it's not all we do...those still in state and those of us who have migrated to other places.

Whoever wrote this is a total F*CKTARD and needs to quit blogging. And yep...MORON Adrian is better, faster, and smarter.

Hmmm... I didn't get quite the same message you did. Oh well, some blogger's opinions aren't worth even bothering with anyway.
