How does the CL actually omit reference to NCAA

Obviously Freeze is asking the judge to rule that he doesn't have to give a deposition. But he's also saying that IF he has to give a deposition, the plaintiff shouldn't be allowed to go on a fishing expedition into unrelated NCAA matters. So again, when TMZ said he doesn't want to give a deposition because of the NCAA investigation, that's taking the statement out of context. If TMZ had included the entire quote, as ESPN did, I would have no criticism. They extracted that line to make it sound different than what he actually said in the motion, i.e., taking it out of context. If you can't or won't see that, that's fine, we can just agree to disagree, because I don't know how else to explain it.

He's not only asking that he not be asked about it, he's asking that if he does have to that it be sealed from the NCAA. Those are two distinct requests. The first one I get; he wants them to stay on topic. But he loses here because step dad's position is that he was trying to keep his son out of trouble with NCAA, so Freeze/UM violations are certainly at issue.

He should also lose part 2 of his request: to seal the deposition. Again, step dad is trying to clear his name which is the very subject of the lawsuit. If Freeze's testimony helps to clear his name that he did not beat his wife, but instead was trying to avoid further NCAA infractions, then justice requires that that information be released immediately to mitigate the damages already caused to his reputation, and which are continuing.

I know most of you regular posters on here dog the CL, which I have generally taken with a grain of salt. I have always thought they sucked, but at least they cover our state's college sports unlike our glorious Sun Herald on the coast.

But good Lord, when the very Motion filed on behalf of Freeze references the NCAA and his desire to keep his testimony from them, how does the CL maintain any credibility by omitting that, and filling the article with, well "filler?" Unless, of course, TMZ made that part up.**

The fact that he put that in a court pleading IS the story. I know you will all give me your best smart assed responses, but no one has noted this glaring omission.

Does anyone have a copy or a link to the actual Motion filed on behalf of Freeze. I would love to read that work of art.

If you've taken the CL bias toward the Bears with a grain of salt well then all I can say is you are very naïve.

It matters if Tunsil or Freeze are already on record with the NCAA with a different story.

Put more bluntly, if they didn't break an NCAA rule, then why do they want the deposition sealed? There should be nothing to hide.

This is the bottom line.

I know enough about fishermen to know that if you own a pond with no fish in it, you don't mind if a stranger sits out there all day long fishing. If you have a pond stocked with lunker Florida bass, you're a little more careful on who you let wet a hook.

But I thought Freeze very much enjoyed fishing expeditions?

I'm not naive. I just don't feel as strongly about it as most on here. In other words, I'm not insane.
