MattFancy Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hope we can sign him. Sounds like a good guy and you feel terrible for him. Glad he is getting his chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roanoker Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 After all that he's been through, I'm glad that he is being given an opportunity to work out for the NFL. The job offer by the Diamondbacks was also a nice gesture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Well I was reading this past weekend, she's now receiving govt. assistance as she blew all of that money. But I'm glad they reached out to Brian Banks and offered him a tryout. She deserves everything bad that comes to her. Why is she not being charged for a false accusation?

Rabsuz Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Ugh, nothing makes me angrier than someone lying and destroying someone's prime of their life by putting them in prison for a crime he did not commit and then getting away with a slap on the wrist. That has to be the lowest of the low and theres a special place in hell for these kinds of people. Hard to believe in justice or people in general when this kind of thing happens everyday especially since rape one of the laws where you can get convicted without any real hard evidence, it's hard to prove or disprove a lot of rape cases. All that being said, I hope Brian Banks lands a job here. I would be disappointed if he didn't because he deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariusVT Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 "Hi, Brian? It's me, Wanetta. You know, the girl who completely destroyed your reality? Listen, I'm really sorry about falsely accusing you of rape and sending you to prison and all that. Yes, I realize that I stole the best years of your life in return for $75,000...my bad! Say, what are you up to this weekend?" She actually got $750,000, which makes it infinitely worse. Hopefully the school comes after her for the settlement.

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 What a tragic tale. Here's to hoping that the world is kind to Mr. Banks from here on out, whether he makes it in the NFL or not. I will be pulling for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Adama Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I hope they bring charges against her. She's a POS. She should have to sit in prison for perjury. I hope so too!!!! That is so outrageous. And the gall of her to want to get back with him after taking away 10 years of the man's life!! Geesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I was just reading about this brother's case last week and hoping that he would get an opportunity.. i'm so happy for him... I hope he does well enough for them to keep him through camp.. good for Mr. Banks!---------- Post added May-30th-2012 at 11:52 AM ---------- and she needs to give back every single penny she got. I hope he can stick around into camp. Maybe make the practice squad if not the real squad. I would imagine if the woman got the $750k from "the state" as the article suggested, there's a very good likelihood that "the state" will have a few things to say to her: EDIT: If Brian Banks and Brandon Banks make the team, what the heck do they put on the back of the jersey? BRA. BANKS and BRI. BANKS? Things that make you go Hmmmmm..... 1. I want my money back. 2. I think you should probably do some time for lying to us and making us look stupid. 3. Ooops. I forgot where I put that key... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rk3025 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 What is our cap space? What has the Diamondbacks offered him? Ex coach has set a try out date and may have inside track. Hope he at least excepts tryout offer from skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rskin72 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I wish this young man luck in pursuing his dreams.....and glad we were one of several teams to offer a tryout. Never can tell where a diamond in the rough might be found. Concerning that lying woman, hope she gets all that is coming to her.....all the payback that she so richly deserves.

Bang Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Why did I think he was a receiver? The way he hangs his bandana out of his pocket, I assume. Can this guy coach special teams? ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrFan Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 This is a terrible and sad story that happened to him, I wish him well, and hope he can recover from his jail time. Can't believe the court sentenced him without a DNA test !. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe the court sentenced him without a DNA test !. I agree. Seems crazy. I would like to see them give Tony Washington a tryout. Always thought they should.
