You guys can not even understand how boring Bellevue can be… (Think suburban nightmare) He (and the donut shop) probably are at that corner of the mall, and shut down about about 9:00 pm… uh, that’s no beer served too…
God, living like that you must be desperate for some action. He would be better off moving to somewhere like Belltown (downtown Seattle) where he can some real fun and nobody will complain.

The Stores in question cannot keep the maple donuts in stock. They are selling truck loads of these things.

That’s crazy, I live right across the street from there. Golden Tate breaking into the business across the street?
There goes the neighborhood!!
But seriously, that’s so weird.

I always have to chuckle when some goofball poster calls you TMZfootballtalk.com (or similar).
However, refusing to post a story until TMZ of all people confirm it reflects some pretty low standards on your part.
I get the whole don’t want to go sued thing yet still want to be the first to report it, but really come on. Either report it or wait for something more credible than TMZ to confirm it. You act like TMZ is a legit news site.

It’s not breaking and entering when an employee with key let’s you in it’s just tresspassing and I’m sure Roger will have a chat with him. I find the entire thing funny it’s not like he killed someone or assaulted a women he wanted a maple bar and got his buddy to let him in

He was simply saving the life of an overweight Police Officer by eating the donuts before he could get to them. Besides, its a donut shop, not a bank he’s hanging in after hours. Moron.

On a fairly funny article, with very funny comments (kudos to all), the best one in my opinion is:
Foldin Chair. Made my eyes water for a while.

As someone who has lived his entire life near Seattle and just had the pleasure of enjoying some Top Pot donuts this past weekend, I can say that I understand why he did this. They are damn delicious.

“As we hear it, Tate entered the store with another person and feasted on donuts. ”

@realitypolice: There are over 2,000 NFL players not counting the practice squads. Yes they do get in trouble and yes some of them do stupid things. What I’m talking about is a rush to judgement based on less than the facts and jealousy and envy.
We should never put people in the same category because a few of them do stupid things, but this story was obviously too stupid to print and as it turns out all of the facts were not stated. Also you should never let the media make up your mind for you

There is ZERO chance that there is not more to this story… a lot more.

Thanks for the details.
Question for you: as you seem a pretty reasonable person, do you think the TMZ brand of “journalism” –which is quite pervasive in today’s news market– will completely overtake legitmitate reporting and story writing?
or is this just a fad–where bitter morons are the only audience worth adressing–that, like all fads, eventually fades away?

Maybe I’m crazy, but isn’t it possible that someone who works at “Top Pot” would’ve been too high to remember to lock the door when they left? Or set off an alarm if they re-entered with Tate

No one wants to wait until they open at 6 AM. Damn donuts would be 3 hours old by that time.

Here’s why they aren’t pressing charges: Top Pot recently inked a deal to become the official coffee and donut partner of Qwest Field — home of the Seattle Seahawks. Coincidence? Highly doubtful. You can bet the Seahawks’ front office made a fast phone call, and all was taken care of.

The store probably felt sorry for the guy being named Golden Tate. I hear he has a cousin named Foldin Chair.
