Except he wasn't. He was suspended one game, he wasn't fired. https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/career-change-for-former-uconn-qb/1901396/

I mean, I live in the state. He resigned from Ledyard and he resigned from Southington. When was he fired?

Then he went to be a coach at the university level I think. Played FB with him in HS. Never cared for him.

Dude like yeah he wasn't a good guy but seriously you can't be throwing that Title around willy nilly. You got to kill multiple people to be called serial. Don't be putting him up with the real bad boys makes the others look less bad

Umm. Pretty sure He did kill multiple people

Per Oxford:

Serial killer: "a person who commits a series of murders, often with no apparent motive and typically following a characteristic, predictable behavior pattern."

Putting a brick and a note in a plastic bag and tossing it on the lawn after being denied entrance at the gate isn’t exactly throwing a brick at ESPN HQ. The guy was diagnosed bipolar a while back. He needs mental health care more than he needs a charge. That may be the only way he gets it, IDK.

How is that even arrest-able?

This is what the google machine spits out -

(a) A person is guilty of breach of the peace in the second degree when, with intent to cause inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof, such person: (1) Engages in fighting or in violent, tumultuous or threatening behavior in a public place; or (2) assaults or strikes another; or (3) threatens to commit any crime against another person or such other person's property; or (4) publicly exhibits, distributes, posts up or advertises any offensive, indecent or abusive matter concerning any person; or (5) in a public place, uses abusive or obscene language or makes an obscene gesture; or (6) creates a public and hazardous or physically offensive condition by any act which such person is not licensed or privileged to do. For purposes of this section, "public place" means any area that is used or held out for use by the public whether owned or operated by public or private interests.

  (b) Breach of the peace in the second degree is a class B misdemeanor.

Maybe that’s why the cops used “throw” a brick - to conjure the idea that he exhibited a tumultuous or threatening behavior. But I know very little.

I saw him play QB at UConn years back. Kid was actually legit. I was pumped when the Patriots drafted his brother…. Lol

Based on the content of that letter, he didn’t go to many classes.

It's very sad, the guys been through a lot. The message that accompanied the brick sounds like it was relatively well thought out.

That's very generous of you to say.

FanValuable6657 t1_je19wmi wrote

He’s been through a lot. Abuse as a kid, watching his father die, and having to endure the press through his brothers ordeal. I hope he gets the help he needs and comes back from this.

EmEmAndEye t1_je1prce wrote

Agreed. Plus, he's bipolar and has been committed at least once. If tossing a brick-in-a-bag onto ESPN's campus lawn is the worst thing that he's done, then there's hope for him yet.

Did this guy feature on a billboard in Hartford visible from the interstate around 2005-2007 ish? I have a memory of driving by a billboard featuring a high school football star but I don't remember who it was exactly.

If it was a few years before that, it might have been Tim Washington. He played a year or 3 before DJ at Bristol central. Set all sorts of records.

VMI_Account t1_je1ihqz wrote

Could have been as early as 2003, so if Tim Washington featured on a billboard around that time he's probably who I'm remembering.

mdfromct t1_je11bey wrote

It was probably Aaron.

It's a hazy memory but I seem to remember the featured player was a quarterback. Could have been as early as 2003 I suppose.

Did he return a brick that fell from Building 1? 😂

MeaninglessLiving13 t1_je2f1on wrote

I’ve been to the ESPN campus a few times and the building where they film and that has all the office suites is like across a giant parking lot and lawn with past a guard station. Even if he had an arm like Josh Allen, he’s not getting within 1000+ feet of the building.

Theriggerswife t1_je4lr9z wrote

Yup! Might hit the window on a guard shack but he’s sure wasn’t throwing it through the window of John Andersons office.
