Jack@ss sucker punches Jimmy Clausen

Seriously? How does this help? It's not Clausen's fault. Get a grip!

Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen was punched in the face by an irate fan outside a South Bend restaurant early Sunday morning and has a swollen eye, a person briefed on the incident said.

That person said Clausen was "sucker-punched" by a fan as he left an establishment after having dinner with his parents.

The fan allegedly said something to Clausen and/or a female acquaintance.

The source said the injury is not expected to keep Clausen from playing this weekend against Stanford.

Re: Jack@ss sucker punches Jimmy Clausen

  • I know it's not right, but this made me laugh. The only way this would have been better, is if Weis had been sucker-punched. 
  • I don't find either of those scenarios funny.
  • Were his brothers there?  The answer to that question would probably change the way I would view this scenario.
  • That's messed up! I'm a huge ND fan and Jimmy did not deserve that, keep in mind their still kids. I wonder why he didn't press charges, Shane Victorino pressed charges against an opposing teams fan for throwing a soda on him during an away game this past season, that was on tape though.

  • It didn't happen outside of a restaurant, it was a bar at 2:30am. The likely reason no charges were pressed was because he was probably tanked and ran his big mouth off at someone. He's had a history of getting in trouble in the past, especially with alcohol. Google Clausen and beer olympics.

     

    I guess he really isn't a FIGHTIN Irish, haha. ND should recruit the kid who punched him to play QB, at least he can hit a target. Although I'm shocked that he was able to punch his eye, tough to miss that big mouth.

     

    I heard he had is first and second string offensive linemen with him and they still couldn't protect him! 

  • I did laugh when they called CJs a restaurant. Its a bar that serves food during the day.

     

    There is definitely more to this story. But props to ND for spinning it fairly well.

    This is essentially why I am wondering if his brothers were there.  If they were there is no doubt in my mind that this is what happened.   

  • What a douche.

  • as much as I think that Jimmy is a douche (and he is) I don't think its fair to say that because he drank before he was 21 that its likely he is a violent drunk.
