Blount didn’t do anything wrong. If somebody clips my side view mirror and drives off i will follow them and punch them in the face too. This is an open and shut case. The victim got what was coming to him. He knew it and that’s why he didn’t dial 911. Oh yea, its also believed that the victim was driving and drinking. If thats the case that also explains why he didn’t dial 911 because he knew he would be busted for DUI. Geaux Saints!

Don’t know Blount, but really…the “victim” didn’t report it to the police until the next day? Maybe to give himself some time to sober up and come up with a reason why he did a hit and run.

And why isn’t he going after the guys who actually attacked him instead of Blount? Money grab, plain and simple.

Something else is fishy about this story. The guy who wrote the story for the times… He is a Real Estate writer for the business section. Is it standard for a guy at a major newspaper to write a crime story from 3 months ago if that is not even you part of the newsroom?

LB is no choir boy, but you have to report it correctly. It is unfortunate, but almost anyone here would have reacted like that. (again LB did not attack anyone-even the victim claims that). The victim is NOT filing charges.

*******************************************

Almost anyone would have reacted like that? Almost anyone would’ve conspired with their friends to beat a man unconscious because of an accident? Really?

Almost anyone – that is part of of the 99.999% of normal society – would have called the Police and let them do the job they get paid for.
Not sure what you’re talking about there

Before you go railing against Blount, you may want to read this:

Appears the “innocent Victim” was trying to get $95k from Blount, or he would go to the press.

There going to pull that on someone who is armed with a gun in the car – i don’t care what they did, you don’t jump on a windshield and terrify people. Get the information – they should’ve called 911 ASAP

I wouldn’t have even stopped, i’d have rammed the car that cut me off 5 or 6 times – who knows what couldve happened.

What the heck is wrong with some of these guys. It’s no way to behave for professional athletes. Sure Blount didn’t lay a finger on the guy but being part of the attack or standing by while a fan gets beat and failing assist is no better than doing it yourself. Some guys think they above the law because they have money or fame. Cut these guys loose that act like animals.

Trying to figure this story out — the guy did a hit and run on Blount’s vehicle? If someone did that to me I could completely understand tracking the person down and giving them what’s coming to them, you’re a complete and total scumbag who deserves no mercy in that case. Just saying.

The fact they had Bucs jerseys on is priceless.

But I doubt they will get Blount on anything since he didnt actually do the assault.

A bloody nose and stiff jaw seems like fair punishment for a drunken hit and run for just a busted mirror. He had it coming and thank God nobody was hurt.

Sounds like there is one Bucs fan that will be taking the shuttle home from now on. Lets hope he is smart enough to do so.

Well, at least it wasn’t Aqib Talib. He would have been directing attack with gunfire.

Wow! If this is true, Blount is scum and should be (but never will be) in jail.

“It’s important to note that Blount has not been charged with anything. ”

Really, because when has that ever meant anything when Goodell doles out his punishments?

Just start calling him Bam Bam. He likes to hit things.

Actually, I believe that name is already reserved for a non-criminal, who leaves it all on the field – Kam Chancellor

at least he is consistent-Always fighting unfair, if he isn’t giving a player a cheapshot punch he is jumping someone 3 on 1! Once a mope always a mope……

So, this story comes out 3 months after the fact. And in this age of information, that is an eterinity.I also doubt blunt is capable of “directing” an attack as he can’t even get on the field for 3rd down because he can’t “direct ” himself to block the correct person”

Blackouts seem to be a theme in Tampa. Players are causing fans to blackout, fans are causing TV Blackouts…

This is the team to move to LA. A year ago this team looked like it could go nowhere but up. How fast they fall.

What an embarrassing story. Send Blount out west and the 9ers D will take care of him again…

It all comes out in the wash. If Blount is responsible for the attack, he’ll be found out eventually. Maybe not for this incident, but those with criminal/violent dispositions, always repeat their behavior.

Blount must hang out with those type of guys most would consider “Tough Guys.” The I’m not on roids, but I act as if I am, won’t grow up and handle things like a man and thats why my mom won’t let me have friends over type. The type of guy that smacks around his girlfriend and has to fight anyone that looks at him, just because he is too cool to be looked at.

Blount needs new friends.

Per Deion it was self defense. Sanders claims there were “six people trying to hit that Blount.”

You mean these “fair minded” fine people who post here on this website are jumping to conclusions without knowing all the facts. Unbelievable.

Clearly this was Suh (celebrating his victory over the Bucs that day).

OK, back to reality.
The whole team has been a wreck since old man Glazer got “sick” and could not run the team.
Bucs need to fire Rah now!

blount’s response was “oh man”…..doesn’t sound guilty at all…….jus sayin
