Cromartie involved in Bar Fight

[mct1967]

"According to law enforcement sources, Cromartie -- a Pro-Bowl defensive back -- was out celebrating the Chargers win at a local San Diego bar when somebody threw a champagne bottle which hit a bystander in the head.


Witnesses claim there was champagne being sprayed back and forth between Cromartie's party and other bar patrons -- until the mood changed and someone threw a bottle.


We're told the bystander had a cut on his head -- but no ambulance was called to the scene.


Law enforcement sources tell us 25-year-old Cromartie was identified as the bottle-thrower by at least one person -- but there are conflicting stories from other witnesses.


Cromartie was essential in the Chargers' 32-3 win over the Denver Broncos yesterday, raking in a key interception in the second half. "

"TMZ has learned San Diego Chargers star Antonio Cromartie is being investigated for assault with a deadly weapon over a bruising incident in a San Diego bar last night. "

UPDATE: Cromartie's agent, Gary Wichard, seems to be throwing Antonio's teammates under the bus, telling TMZ, "This is absolutely not a story. Antonio didn't throw the bottle. There were actually three other players involved. Antonio is at a complex working out. Again, this is not a story."

LMAO wow.
They never disappoint.
I'm not going to lie, they're a good team no matter how much I despise them. But why on earth would you create distractions like that when your team is on a roll?

Last season stupid Charger fans were all over Brandon Marshall for his legal problems and insisted all the Chargers were perfect angels. They better not even think of posting anything in the future about Broncos-players' legal problems--especially after this bar incident with multiple Chargers and also since their mohawked, "cant sack anyone", dirty-playing, idiot Merriman is being sued.

How'd this thread go from the "smack forum", to the "General Discussions", then to "other NFL teams"?

[Thors Hammer]

Kinda hard to do since they're all scattered across the continental United States. Finding his kids on the map is like reading the Doppler Radar.

Why couldn't we have comments like this in the smack forum all week instead of all that troll crap?

[baphamet]

weird, wasn't this thread started in the smack section?

[86rocco]

I don't like the dolts anymore than any other Broncos fan but this is a story that is really nothing at all. Hardly warrants any attention at all.......Oh wait TMZ reported nothing really important for sure then.

[powderblues]

When it comes to TMZ, you can't take news seriously.

Here's the San Diego Union Tribune article about it:

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2009/nov/23/at-least-one-charger-involved-in-bar-fight/

So far, Antonio Cromartie, Shaun Phillips, Stephen Cooper, Darren Sproles and Travis Johnson were are at the bar, with Charger fans celebrating the victory.

TMZ claims there was a brawl or "bar fight", even though every one including the victim disagrees there was any fight, rather everyone was celebrating the Chargers victory.

The only thing being disputed right now is wether Antonio Cromartie threw a champagne bottle intentionally which caused this injury:



Innocent until proven guilty.

I was gonna post something on this but I didn't know if it were true or not. It's kind of dumb but I guess if you look at it from a city perspective, they have better weather and a lot more places 2 party at, which I am cool with after a win....but don't do it to where u hit someone with a bottle and end up on TMZ I know Brandon Marshall used to be in a lot of thise nonsense, it's kind of a down story for Bolt fans after they killed us, whatever tho

[ChargersDivison]

There's always more to stories and they get blown out of context.

If no punishment happens I'm fine with it.


I mean why wouldn't I be. In 10 games he has given up 1 TD, has 3 ints with a 64 QB rating against him.


We'll see what happens. I don't put much stock into it right now.

[Blue Bolt]

Did you hear about what happened to the Jets this weekend? Some jerkoff pats ***** pulled the fire alarm in the hotel the team was staying, at 1am. And I guess it's not the first time this has happened.

No problem.
Everyone knows if your a Jets fan and have too much to drink, you'll forget what you Namath.

TMZ has learned San Diego Chargers star Antonio Cromartie is being investigated for assault with a deadly weapon over a bruising incident in a San Diego bar last night.

UPDATE #2: After we posted Wichard's statement, his story changed. Here is what he's telling us now: "he was there with 2 other players ... no one was involved in the fight."

Story developing...

lol that was pretty funny.

Seriously though, I'm really starting to get pissed about Cro, and I'm one of his biggest supporters. Every team has a player like him, unfortunately he plays a vital part in our defense so I have to root for the punk.

We could save $$$ and sign players else where (Vj, Merriman, Sproles, McNeil).

Yupp, I like Cro too, but its hard to defend him right now (thats if its true of course). He's been stepping up his game. Then this. What a shame.

Kind of wish I worked in Denver instead of Colorado Springs, I would of detained him for 24 hours just for giggles. And if he actually did it, I would delay the paperwork so he missed his flight back to SD and possibly be processed in Denver, it would of been quite fun.

[kishzilla]

unfortunately the players union would never go for anything like that. i am sure some contracts do have things like that if the player agrees to it but it would never be enforced by the league imo

Well it seems to me that it just continues to get worse every year. I don't know if its just because we hear about it more often or what, but it gets really frustrating when you hear some scumbag is making millions but acting like any other 2 bit ass-hat.

Happened in SD.

I'm seriously starting to think that players should go through some sort of "Charm School" in order to be allowed to play anymore and then Teams should start putting in every contract that if you act like a jackass you can be cut at-will and teh contract is torn up. Conduct off the field should count for something.
