Breaking News: Man Claims Pouncey Twins Assaulted Him Friday Night

[GBMelBlount]

According to a Saturday morning report by Ryan Cortes of the New Times Broward-Palm Beach, a man is claiming that Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey and his twin brother Mike Pouncey assaulted him Friday night at the Cameo Nightclub in Miami Beach.

According to Ricky Vasquez, the Pouncey twins, along with four bouncers, jumped him and he has a swollen face and a chipped tooth as a result of the incident.

Vasquez goes on to claim that he was gay-bashed at he party and that he intends to press charges.

Cameo is the same night club at which the twins wore their infamous “Free Hernandez” hats last year in support of their former University of Florida teammate Aaron Hernandez, who’s currently standing trial for multiple murders.

It’s important to state that neither of the Pouncey twins have been arrested as of right now and that we only have one side of the story.

And it had been such a nice, quiet offseason up to now...

Well, at least we have "Goose" Wallace in case there's really an issue with this. I doubt there will be, though.

[Craic]

I'm usually one to take a "wait and see" attitude with these things. But, this man is claiming that two NFL football players and FOUR bouncers all jumped him, and he only came out of it with a swollen face and a chipped tooth? Something smells in the land of Florida.

As we all know, it doesn't really matter whether it's true or not, this is guaranteed to blow up in the media.

yeah it doesnt add up!

[vader29]

Wonder if Aaron Hernandez will support them if they get arrested.

He's a Steeler so of course he's guilty. Six game suspension.............. here we go!

[Count Steeler]

Ray Rice still waiting.

Maurkice will be suspended before Ray.

[salamander]

Hopefully it's not true. Sounds like this guy is trying to make some money off of a couple of NFL stars.

[stillers4me]

This is making me sick.................Just when we thought the Oline was going to get it's act together.

[smokin3000gt]

I like how he threw the gay bashing in there in case the story didn't stick. Now it doesn't matter whether it happened or not. Gays will get their panties all wadded up and the two will be guilty in the court of public opinion. I expect these two to get a punishment handed down by gooddell before RR sees one.

Can't wait till that *uckhead Florio gets ahold of this one.

Naa, he wasnt facing the exact same charges this time last year, and that's the precedent.

[fansince'76]

That's just it - he was never charged with any crime. The real precedent is a commissioner who felt that he needed a white player to come down on to "prove" he wasn't a racist to Jason Whitlock and all the other race-baiting asshats in the sports media. On the other hand, you have guys like Aldon Smith who can go out and get about 15 DUIs and make bomb threats at airports and not a thing is done about it.

Oh, yeah - the story just hit PFT. Open the floodgates.

Doesn't matter. It's about image. And in that, Ben failed twice. Period. Since then? He's grown up and become what we all hoped he would. But I really don't want to rehash that again. My whole point was the "Goodell banhammer mania" is blown out of proportion. Had this been Pouncy's second offense in two years, that'd be different.

This story just seems a little too unreal. I think, like the Jason Kaepernick incident, it'll get straightened out pretty quickly.

[Count Steeler]

Just what this offseason was lacking. Drama.

And Mike just had hip surgery 3 weeks ago? Something really stinks about this article and accusations.

pretty much exactly what I was thinking and Mike being just a few weeks removed from surgery ...

I find this highly suspect and I am not a fan of either Pouncey as people so any bias on my part would sway towards the accuser ...

making me think ..... didn't happen

[Psycho Ward 86]

im not going to jump to conclusions until all the details come out, but shit like this makes me happy that Pouncey's extension is a team friendly deal...in case this becomes a reoccurring problem

[Mojouw]

New reports are that it is BS.

Dude got in a fight. Knew that famous/wealthy people were there. Thought he could get paid.

[steelerdude15]

I just saw the photo of the guy who was "assaulted." It barely looks like anything even happened to him.

These are blogs so take it with a grain of salt.

Now, let me ask you this: Why would four bouncers be ganging up on a guy? Just for the hell of it? Or maybe because they were trying to throw you out of the bar for being an asshole and starting fights.

But no, his version makes sense - I was just standing there minding my own business, and then out of nowhere six guys including the bar staff just randomly decided to beat the shit out of me all at once. COOL STORY BRO.

yea because 2 rich homosexual athletes would never want to kick a gay guy out of their birthday bash. either do it themselves or pay the bouncers to do it. of course, im sure the video tape would not show anything if the cops come asking for it.

Did you come out of the shadows just to post something off the wall like that?

And that's my beef with Pouncey. It's his and his brothers "Birthday Bash" with flyers going around with their names and faces. Way to put a target on your back...

Also: Stop being in nightclubs at 4:30 in the morning. Stupid.
