Jared Allen Threatened to Break Some Loser's Neck

PrintJust got this in an e-mail a few minutes ago from the good folks at TMZ:
TMZ has obtained video of Minnesota Vikings defensive superstar Jared Allen unleashing one of the nastiest threats ever on a bar patron who allegedly called Jared's fiancee a word that rhymes with "punt."
Well. . .given the circumstances, all I can say is good for Jared Allen. Particularly considering that #69 didn't actually turn the person that used such a vulgar, disgusting term about his fiancee into a fine paste. Seriously, if Mrs. Gonzo and I were out somewhere and someone threw that sort of language in her direction, I would be using my one phone call to get my First Sergeant to come and get me out of jail.
So, there's a nice start to your Tuesday morning, ladies and gentlemen! Come back later as we celebrate schedule release day!

go get'em Jared
I liked him before, now i love him. Ya gotta be a moron to get him angry at you! But he did the right thing by letting it go before it got down to violence. I hope one day he meets this guy somewhere , where it is only the 2 of them and nobody else around, so he can rip this guy a new a**hole.
Good For JA
I’d pe P**d if someone called my wife that word too. that was poor form to call a girl that. some people might see this video and try to jump down on JA as a thug, but he really showed a lot of restraint in not pummeling that dude ot death.

What if this exchange happened with McKinnie instead of Allen? First of all, he’d probably be stun gunned and put in jail for the exact same behavior. Second of all, we fans would be upset with him and label him a punk and a cancer.
Someone insults Bryant and he sticks up for himself and gets in trouble. Someone insults Jared and he sticks up for himself and we think its awesome. Gotta love double standards.
There's a difference
Jared Allen got into a shouting match with somebody, and walked away from a potential fight.
Bryant McKinnie got insulted, picked up a big metal stick, and smacked someone in the head with it.
Is a further illustration of the difference really necessary?
Had McKinnie been in this video and reacted exactly the same way as Allen did, then I’d be applauding him, too.

With McKinnie the comment was directed at him.
Jarrome007 – you fail to mention the comment was directed at his fiance. Its the worse thing you can call a woman. Any man is going to stick up for his woman. It is a lot easier to brush off a comment made to yourself than having someone call your fiance an *unt.
McCourty will do. If the Packers don't take him first... they would.

Have you ever been in or witnessed a bar fight in person? I’m not talking about Old West style saloon brawl. Just you’re regular average scuffle between two tipsy patrons. I used to work in a pretty seedy bar, so I’ve seen my fair share. And the line between everyone keeping their cool and both parties attacking each other like pit bulls is very very thin.
If Jared meant what he was saying (and you are all insinuating he did), he was actually inches away from being in the exact same situation McKinnie was in. From Allen’s video (of which we have none for McKinnie) its pretty clear the only thing separating the two are the people he’s with. Even if McKinnie’s friends tried to hold him back as well, his pure size would make that near impossible.
Bottom line is I like both players alot. But I think McKinnie (and occasionally black players in general) gets a bad rap for doing the exact same thing white players do. Or rather a better way to put that, there sure seems to be a lot of white players who get away with the tough guy image without the stigma that would follow a black player who was equally as tough.
proof
Exactly jayrome there is no video of the mckinnie incident. but you seem to know every detail and compare the two events.
then to play the race card is unreal.
Just wanted to clarify, I’m not actually black (white middle class republican, to be specific) so I don’t even have a race card to play. I just hate prejudice. Especially when it affects a team I care so much about.
I would really hate to see an incident ruin a player’s career when in fact we know nothing about what actually happened. Look at Roethlisberger. He wasn’t even proven guilty of anything yet now his career and image are taking a massive hit. How is that fair, regardless of race? The point I’m trying to make is that we as fans are so quick to criticize players and, for numerous reasons, I don’t think its fair.
Looks like we have another tard on are hands

Bravo Jared
When most of the NFL offseason news has been filled with rapes, sexual assaults, drunk owners insulting everyone, and drink-throwing wide receivers, it’s nice to have a man in purple stand up for his fiancee.
Can’t believe people elsewhere are calling for his suspension.
Who is?
For yelling at a jackass? Ridiculous.

death by Jared
now that’s a guy with a death wish
Sadly...
Many people are going to put J. Allen down for this sort of behavior.. I only have more respect for him for what he did. The problem with society is people like J. Allen are held to such a higher standard and expected to be a role model. This didn’t happen in an all-ages environment.. It happened in an environment surrounded by people of age… So I do not think anyone should be able to use that as any sort of argument. He will probably now have to give some sort of press-release for a public apology, but I don’t think he should have too. You call a woman a bad name, expect the fiance/bf/husband to stand up for them…
I am sure most of the players have to deal with a lot of crap. People trying to get publicity in certain situations… Etc. etc. — Has anyone seen the movie Big Fan?? (About the NY Giants..)??
If JA's fiancee is small, maybe the guy called her a runt?
Because who would be stupid enough to get in an altercation with Jared Allen? The guy must not have known who he was dealing with.
Hey Deek. I had “Big Fan” in my hands and put it back to rent something else. If you say it’s good, I’ll watch it.

Big Fan
It was okay…..
Basically it’s an obsessive fan of the NY Giants… There is some humor in it. Lots of things you’ll laugh at.. It’s good for a rent, but not a purchase..
All I know is, I hope none of us on here are like the guy in the movie.. If so, I feel bad for you.
No, I'm not like that guy at all
I’m bedridden in my mothers basement because I weight 800 pounds. I have greasy hair, bad breath, lots of zits and I’ve never even kissed a girl. I’m glad you guys on this site are my friends. You are my friends, aren’t you? Oh boo hoo hoo (:

Can anyone understand when he says
" I’ll break your neck homeboy, and then I will sign a check…….whatdoes he say after that? Can hear it correctly.

I wanna know!
That’s what I was wondering. Sounds like a great line I’m gonna use in future altercations. For what will he be signing his check?!?!
Come back later as we celebrate schedule release day

Wow
I don’t blame Jared Allen at all. If anything, kudos to him for not following through!
"Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish."
Wow, didnt even think of that one

My First Thought
That’s the first thing that popped into my head, was “What in the hell was he doing in a bar in the first place?” I hope this doesn’t become a recurring theme.

Agreed
It’s really difficult to respect a guy who is paid an unfathomable amount of money on the condition that he stays sober after this. So $72,360,000 over 6 years ($15,500,000 guaranteed) isn’t enough to hold up your end of the bargain, ya big baby?!?
I suppose that he may have been able to go to a bar and avoid alcoholic beverages, but any alcoholic is absolutely stupid to think that that can be done successfully for long.
Not Necessarily
In my younger days I was what many people would call a classic alcoholic. I decided as a New Years resolution to give it up in 1985…and have been clean ever since. The funny thing about it is I was working as a bartender part time and continued to do so for a couple of years afterwards. While I can’t speak for anyone else, I know from first hand experience that it can be done.
well!
I think we could have easily jumped to your conclusion had he actually broken the a$$hat’s neck.
I BELIEVE...

Speaking as a former bartender
I knew quite a few recovering alcoholics who, after a period of absence while they got clean, were able to return to the bar and enjoy various NA drinks. In fact, they typically stayed the whole night to ensure their friends had a safe ride home, which is quite commendable.

That idiot is seriously lucky...
If anyone had said that to my wife, he would be in the hospital… Period…
The only difference is, my wife would be the one putting them there…

Yep.
That is almost exactly what my husband said. He also added that he would enjoy the show and be there for backup, just in case. Read: he’d want an excuse to put his fist to that disrespectful jerk’s jaw.

Seriously..
Who in their right mind is going to mess with a 6’6" 280 lb man’s woman? And an NFL player at that! Meaning the guys not a couch potato. Jared has every right to protect the honor of his woman. What he did is not the epitome of being a thug.
