Tyler Bray Accused of Throwing Beer Bottles Onto Parked Cars [UPDATE]

All, College Football Ty Duffy July 25th. 2012, 2:24pm

There goes the myriad of puff columns about his newfound maturity. Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray, the potential No. 1 NFL Draft Pick in 2013, has been accused of throwing beer bottles off his apartment balcony with his roommate onto parked cars.

[UPDATE: No charges filed against Bray.]

One of them allegedly smashed a windshield.

Allen went into her apartment Monday to eat lunch about 1:10 p.m., according to the incident report. When she left her apartment about 30 minutes later, she saw that the front windshield of her car had been smashed. She estimated the damages at more than $500.
She told police that she thought her car was damaged in retaliation for her calling the police on Bray and Grandinetti over the beer bottle incident “a couple nights ago.”

Knoxville police filed an incident report on Monday. Neither Bray nor his roommate has been charged with a crime. Not quite as dumb as getting this tattoo, but still incredibly stupid.

That isn’t a real tattoo. Someone tell me that kid does not have that tattoo. There is NO FUCKING WAY HE GOT THAT TATTOO.

I call shenanigans. SafeLite can do it for around $250, and they’ll come to your place.
College football – it’s not just the game on the field, but the building of character. Or, characters.

You called the police again so expect some more bottles, sweetie.
This could become a problematic cycle.

OT but this story made so mad. The amount of hand wringing this girl does is just ridiculous. If a male athlete did something like this, I feel like we would judge the hell out of him. It’s one thing to be a chicken and not let the actual competition decide who should win a race, but to blame any and everything around her is just ridiculous.

A $500 windshield? Is it like those Google glasses that show you where to go? Though I guess I wouldn’t know how much one really costs since I have insurance and it’s like a $50 deductible.
Tyler Bray sucks. I’m going to go out on a limb and say this has the makings of being Jason’s worst draft prediction of all-time. Somebody is keeping track of those stats, right?

I used to do this same thing except …
Water balloons – from a 3rd floor balcony, across the parking lot, at moving cars as they pass the cemetery.
Then we made the launcher from lab hose and an old pair of tighty-witeys. We could launch them over one apt building, across a street, over another set of houses and directly into the back yard of a fraternity house. Little sister socials were awesome.

This has to be a tough one for Dooley. On the one hand, Tyler Bray is an entitled little asshole that needs to be knocked down a few pegs if he’s ever going to put it all together. On the other hand, his shower discipline is tremendous.

I won’t go as far to say he sucks, but he is probably the third best QB in the SEC. maybe he has more NFL potential than Murray at UGA (not sure about that either) but to act like he is the best QB in college football is just wrong.
don’t bring it up to Jason though, he will fire back with “everyone is entitled to opinions!”

Triggered a memory – my buddy received something in the mail in a shipping tube. It was thick plastic about 3 ft long with the diameter that would fit a potato. Not sure how many windows we broke shooting spuds outta that thing with gunpowder.

I’d imagine UT fans are only worried about this if he hit fewer than 90% of those parked cars.
Had they been moving, 60% would have been an acceptable rate.
