No. No criminal charges havent been filed. It’s just a civil lawsuit. Edited November 10, 2021 by SemperFeist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Right now it’s just a lot of details from lawyer to lawyer. The key seems like it would lay with the witnesses that Cook’s lawyer claims were at the house when this incident occurred.

Thankfully the media covering the NFL can only seem to cover one story at a time, so they'll just stick to the Rodgers thing for all we know.

Sounds like the corrupt mainstream media too but that is definitely intentional. Cook had character issues coming out of college too, wasn’t there a thing with a dog. It’s been pretty well proven that if you’re neglectful or violent towards animals, those same tendencies are likely to show towards human life. I get that his ex trespassed but that doesn’t seem like a rational response. Especially everything at stake for Cook. Cooks ex has a right to her belongings but they needed to coordinate that obviously. If Cook wasn’t cooperating with those requests, that’s got to be against the law as they’ve created a tenant/landlord situation. I can see why his lawyer wanted to get out to the public first. This will get very ugly no matter what, even if criminal charges aren’t pursued. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the thing with the dog but I seem to remember people saying that him getting out of Florida would be good for him so he gets with a different crowd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The report states that "the dogs were unable to move and the smaller puppies were choking" from a heavy chain that had been tied around their necks. The dogs were between approximately two and eight months old. Cook was recently charged with misdemeanor battery after allegedly punching a 21-year-old woman in the face in a bar. He turned himself in to Leon County jail over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it doesn’t sound like she simply trespassed. If she attacked him, or any of his house guests, he has every right to defend himself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the lack of criminal charges by either side, perhaps there is acceptance of this as fact. She shouldn’t have been there and should have coordinated pickup of belongings with Cook. If Cook is being a hurt ex and getting in the way of that from being peaceful, there’s other avenues to pursue than barging in and attacking occupants of the house.

It’s basically going to come down to what the witnesses’ stories will or won’t corroborate. I will say this, Cook’s lawyer seems pretty confident given the specificity that he put out in his press release. There were a few details in that release that could easily be refuted by a witness’s statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Anyone else rather see a backfield of Mattison and Nwangwu since this season is lost anyway. Would think if Nwangwu flashed enough as a game breaker, we could trade or cut Cook in 2022. Would imagine that would save a good chunk of money.

Cook isn’t going anywhere for at least 2 more years based on his contract. Edited November 10, 2021 by SemperFeist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see it just because we call better offensive games when Dalvin isn't in there. That's not an indictment of Dalvin being worse, because he certainly isn't, but Klint and Zimmer seem to rely less on the running game (and are less predictable) when Mattison is starting. If they called the same game for Dalvin as they do Mattison, I think this team would be far better off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
