The Cornerback v. The Counselor
A battle went down the other day on a basketball court at Gregory Gym on the University of Texas - Austin campus. It’s a battle that has been fought across time and generations. It pitted a freshman defensive back from the Texas Longhorns (ranked #2 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll) and a UT law student (ranked #15 in the latest U.S. News law school rankings). Who hasn’t been a part of a strong kid v. smart kid fight?
The football player is freshman Kenny Vaccaro. The law student is Jonathon Fuhrman. The Austin-American Statesman takes it from here:
Fuhrman, who is identified as a UT student, told police Vaccaro and his friends were throwing basketballs at him. The affidavit said Fuhrman threw a basketball back at Vaccaro, hitting him in the head.Fuhrman said Vaccaro then punched him in the face. The affidavit stated that Fuhrman, when he was interviewed by police, had blood coming from a cut lip.
Guys at my high school used to throw basketballs at future legal scholars all of the time. Then they would make love to all the women and be treated like gods. But now they all have multiple out-of-wedlock children and/or priors, while the future legal scholars enjoy prosperous careers and fulfilling romantic relationships. It was no big deal.
Will Vaccaro get punished for this? I’ll share some painful childhood memories, after the jump.
In fairness to Vaccaro, can you imagine what happened to the last dork that had the gall to throw a basketball at his head? I bet that kid received a lot more than a bloody lip. Arguably, Vaccaro showed some restraint here.
As for Fuhrman, you kind of have to applaud the moxie he showed by standing up to the big scary schoolboys. I too have been in the position where I’ve hurled whatever was in my grabbable area at athletically superior individuals who were taunting me. Trust me, when you throw something at a bigger, stronger kid, you are not surprised when you are bleeding ten seconds later. One time a bunch of bullies were playing keep-away with one of my 8-bit Nintendo games. I finally got it back after much taunting, and even as I tried to walk away, they kept on me. So I turned around and winged the cartridge right at the mouthiest kid. Caught him right below the eye.
I don’t remember much after that, except being vaguely impressed that the human skull was in fact much tougher than a Nintendo cartridge. But there are some things worth taking a beating for. No single punch stings more than the loss of pride.
Vaccaro, of course, claims that Fuhrman was spoiling for a fight. Does anybody believe that some law student was cruising the UT campus looking to trade fisticuffs with D-I football players? Because I don’t. And methinks a judge — i.e., a former law student — will not believe it either.
But remember, this is Texas. And in Texas justice doesn’t always apply to those that can perform on the gridiron. Longhorns coach Mack Brown is already circling the wagons:
Texas coach Mack Brown released a statement shortly after news of the arrest warrant surfaced.“We’re aware of the situation with Kenny Vaccaro,” Brown said. “We’ve talked to Kenny and his family, and pending the completion of the legal process, we’ll do what’s best for the university, Kenny and the team. One thing we have really prided ourselves on in our program is our family atmosphere, and this will be handled within our family.”
I wonder if coach Mack will be so supportive of Vaccaro when Tim Tebow is running through him in Pasadena next year.
You know what — why involve the authorities in this at all? Life is long, just let this play out. It’s not inconceivable that one day Kenny Vaccaro and Jonathon Fuhrman will meet again — only perhaps next time Fuhrman will be called “The Honorable” Jonathon Fuhrman. We’ll see who wants to throw his balls around then.

Dilatory, inane, penurious, and nescient students attend UT.
This law student is going to be overwhelmingly praised on the UT campus for showing a football player where his place is.
frosty piss
UT blows.
This law student bitch shouldn't have started what he couldn't finish.
Tim Tebow would never bully a nerd because that would make Jesus sad.
frosty piss
STEPTOE RESCINDS CLASS OF 2009 OFFERS!!!!
STEPTOE NO OFFERS ENTIRE CLASS OF 2010!!!!
The law student should know that, in Texas, he can get a license to carry a concealed handgun and then just shoot the football player in self defense. No problem.
So, this kid, by virtue of his attending Texas, is a venerable legal scholar and likely future judge?
Mr. Fuhrman should have known (and now he knows) that in someone in a group throws a basketball at your head and connects you had better break the other guy's nose ASAP, because if not you are about to get your ass kicked.
As for the coach saying that the matter will be handled in the family--Yea, if you are related to the civil jury that is going to ding your athletic program (and your responsible players) for $50K.
Enjoy getting sued, then deposed, then being on the TV news asshole.
COACHING HINT: Counsel your players to not assault law students.
The story doesn't impress me. A cornerback? Probably 10lbs. heavier than the team's kicker. Had the football player been a linebacker, then I would be somewhat moved. No heroism here.
PE,
Your comments don't impress me.
Elie is dead on with his "guys at my high school" imitation. Minority athletes and minorities in general from the lower class tend to impregnate multiple women and become deadbeat dads. It is these minorities who use welfare while hardworking whites foot the bill. This is Elie's first ever accurate description of minorities, even though he wasn't trying.
Elie, what in the hell are you talking about? Tim Tebow running "through" Vaccaro? Dude plays primarily on special teams. He might see the defensive side of the field for 5 plays in a title game.
And damn you are making some ridiculous assumptions by claiming that a law student wouldn't pick a fight with a football player.
15,
So true. Whites never use welfare
the bitch law student who thought he could play basketball and fight got bitch slapped and ran to the police.
The Austin newspaper said this guy was 6'5" so let's not act like the cornerback was picking on a tiny Asian.
10 -- You lose. in Texas (and most places) no concealed carry on the campus of a "school."
PE, you're a dumbass. D-I cornerbacks have to make open-field tackles on 240-pound running backs, and thus are hard as coffin nails. You know: hard, unlike your tiny member sans vasodilating medication. Dumbass.
#10 - everyone has rescinded offers. Get over it and find a back-up plan.
15:
1960 called. It wants you back.
What kind of little bitch calls the police?
Never thought I'd say this but I agree with PE. The guy's a cornerback so he's 5'11/180 tops. That doesn't provide overwhelming evidence that he's bigger than the law student. And I'd bet a year's salary he's not bigger than Elie.
In this economy I think it's much more likely that when they meet up in the future it will go something like this.
"Mr. Vaccaro, you were great in the Super Bowl, I'm broke after my job offer was rescended and now I have $150K in debt and no job, can you help a guy out?"
Normal Person gets hit by basketball thrown at him. Response: Punch the f--k that threw the basketball.
Pus*yboy, socially inept law student gets punched in the head. Response: Run to police like little bitch boy and file criminal complaint.
The different between lawyers and the rest of the human race in a microcosm
As a former UT law student, I can honestly say the law student probably deserved it. You don't hit anyone in the head with a basketball and not expect to get into a fight.
12,
You...you don't, uh, follow much college football do you?
UT law students are full of bitchassness.
Does anyone know the skin color of these two individuals? I think that we need that information before we can make a determination of: (1) the cause of this event; and (2) how we should react to it.
We need to know this information much more than we need to know -- say who started it or who escalated it. After all, we need to know who is a racist here and brand them accordingly.
Probably the only law school with a few guys who might be able to take a cornerback
A punch during a basketball game gets you arrested in Texas? Do the police ever attend any of the NHL games there?
Ouch. That's gotta hurt.
Good football comes down to speed and athleticism, and Fuhrman got outplayed, plain and simple.
Vaccaro's roster stats according to UT: 6'1/198.
Probable actual stats: 5'10/180.
Vaccaro's a safety, not a corner.
"I wonder if coach Mack will be so supportive of Vaccaro when" he commits his first felony.
It is a sad pattern in sports.
Dump this guy from the athletic program and do him a favor--before he winds up in real trouble.

Is Fuhrman related to the guy from the OJ trial?
this is probably Mark DA FUHRMAN's son!!!!!! It's all a big conspiracy to imprison black football players!!!!! OJ WAS RIGHT!!!
WE'RE FRAMING OJ!! FRAMING OJ!!! FRAMING OJ!!!You want in? But I really like OJ, but you're right, its just too good! We have got to get that son of a bitch!
"Guys at my high school used to throw basketballs at future legal scholars all of the time. . . But now they all have multiple out-of-wedlock children and/or priors, while the future legal scholars enjoy prosperous careers and fulfilling romantic relationships."
I can attest to being on the throwing end of those basketballs, but have managed to escape the predetermined path for high school athletes who beat up on you. Then again, I'm not a minority.
We need to stop the epidemic in this country of lone eggheads assaulting groups of football players. The same thing happened to Daniel Manning (formerly of the UCLA Bruins, now of the Chicago Bears). The guy is just hanging out with 3 of his friends when all of a sudden some egghead just up and attacks him. Of course, the guy claims he was "studying" by himself in the diner where this took place, but we all know what really happened.
Bitches deserve to get kicked!
-Former UT football player James Henry before stomping on the head of a person whose home Henry invaded to seek revenge on behalf of two other UT football players. The other two UT football players had robbed the person, who reported the robbery to police. In other words, Fuhrman better be glad that James Henry is no longer on the UT football team with Vaccaro.
@15 - Yes, in general, white men don't have children with multiple women and almost always stick around to raise their children.
-- yours truly, bastard white guy with three half-siblings
Speculation on UT football blogs has it that Jonathon Fuhrman sits down to piss.
This would never happen at a T14. Georgetown is in the top 14. UT is 15. That makes Georgetown elite, just like Harvard.
You can deduct at least 1.5 inches from the guy's playing height. If playing weight is supposed to be muscle, deduct 10lbs.
Amazing the shrink ray that exists at the NFL combine door.

The police report was but a formality to document the lawsuit.
F*** with the bull, get the horns.
As to the hypothetical future meeting between the two, thug athletes who are never reigned in by college then pro coaches and ultimately ruin their lives are a dime a dozen.
The thug threw a punch because it never occurred to him that he would not get away with it.
5 or 10 years from now it will not be a punch on a basketball court.
It is going to be REAL trouble with the law that some coach cannot bail him out of.
Character matters. Expel the creep before he rapes a coed (or worse).
PS: There was a guy in my junior high school and high school who got put in a circle ad had basketballs (and epithets) thrown at him daily.
By the time I ran into him as a junior in college, the guy was a marshal arts black belt who set the alarm for 4:00 am to trek 5 miles from campus to the ghetto and back every night.
He graduated a UC Berkeley post graduate program with a PHD in physics.
Really? 46 comments and yet not one "TTTexas"?
welcome to Obama's America
UM Elie,
LSU is going to roll UF this weekend. That is all.
50: Goes without saying.
@44
Different mothers or different fathers? If fathers then your mom da'ho.
Actually 44, either way your mom is a harlot
-54
A) this kind of crap happens in gregory (and in gyms across the country) all the time
b) anyone who actually presses charges for something like this is a litigious jerk, especially when they committed an actionable offense as well.
As a former D1 athlete and an attorney....what a pansy this law student is.

Wedgies for the nerd!!! Give me your lunch money, law student.
49 is right. This is high school or 8th grade stuff. Bully athlete has mental some issues.
Elie, you glossed over the best parts of the article:
"Vaccaro told police that Fuhrman 'was always on the court trying to start a fight.'"
"Fuhrman told police there were witnesses, but said that none would come forward 'because they are scared of football players.'" LOLZ. Bunch of doormats at UT.
Instead we were left with your hackneyed anecdote on bullying (wow, you were bullied as a youth, what a revelation!!!) that was far more painful than any punches/balls thrown here.
@42 - that was Ricky Manning, you inbred.
I don't know what actually happened here. Neither does the person who wrote this article. But the assumption that a UT law student would never look for a fight is ridiculous. There are plenty of D-bags at UT law who would gladly get into a fight - it happens often enough at law school intramurals.
Moreover, the whole "big jock vs. smart law student" thing is BS. Cornerbacks usually weigh about 180 lbs in college. This guy is listed at 198, which means he's about 190. Hardly a "big jock" beating up a scrawny nerd.
This student is an embarassment to UT - too dumb to avoid a fight, too much of a pussy to suck it up when he lost, and too much of an idiot not to realize that he's making himself look like a bigger idiot by pressing charges. Not to mention that he could also be charged with assault for throwing a basketball.
The fact that ATL writes these stories with their own spin w/o getting any facts whatsoever continues to prove that this blog is only worth reading for the headlines.

57/58 - that's easy for former D1 athletes to say. In the rest of civilized society, bullies get locked up. The D1 athlete pass is short-lived.
57/58 = D-I field fairy.
Unless the law student was himself an ex-jock, I think he had great courage, if not common sense, to throw the basketball back. I would not have, for the very reason that I don't enjoy fights and it's much easier to walk on.
47: so athletes are just like the guys I have dated. I always laugh when I see guys' driver's licenses. Guys shorter than six feet always claim an extra inch or two.
What does any of this have to do with the real truth about acai berries?
As an Oregon Duck fan this guy is lucky LeGarette Blount wasn't part of this, or someone would have gotten knocked the f out. As we like to say out here, "Blount force trauma".
Let's be honest. If you check the records of this football player I am sure you will find priors and problems. I played football in college. The majority of the guys from the "other side of the tracks" had no business being on a college campus. If I were a parent of a freshman girl, I'd be concerned with these guys running around.
The solution is forming minor league football so college football truly reverts to student athletes. Maybe people should look at Stanford as a great example. UT football is full of future inmates for Huntsville prison. . . . .
51 ftw
I guess Mr. Fuhrman learned a little somethin' about extra-judicial remedies :)
You may not believe that he was looking for a fight, but any judge who spends 5 minutes with Fuhrman will believe it. Trust me. And I wouldn't put money on this particular law student becoming a judge. Taking Texas over Colorado this weekend would be a much safer bet.
The idea he'd pick a fight with a d-back is, I guess, not completely unbelievable, but the idea he'd pick a fight with him when Vaccaro was surrounded by a group of his friends is just plain stupid.
I also seriously doubt witnesses would have a problem coming forward if what they said would exonerate the defensive back.
If Vaccaro didn't meet and fight with the law student one-on-one (like a man), but needed an audience and a group of people to gang up on him, then the law student would be displaying a sense of loyalty, fair play, and honor (in just shutting up) that Vaccaro obviously doesn't feel the need to display towards him.
The sooner Vaccaro actually has someone punish him for this stuff, the better for him and the rest of society.
I don't even know why anyone would go to this school. I've never even heard of it. The ABA needs to eliminate every school but Yale. God, I hate crappy schools.
Is it fucking impossible for you to post something without a typo? Was this post so urgent that you couldn't spare a minute to proofread? Fucking amateur.
73,
Way to jump to conclusions there. Punish Vaccaro for what exactly? All the article really establishes is a back and forth that prompted fisticuffs.
If anything, sounds like Vaccaro did pop him one (like a man) and no one else touched the dude.
I'm not terribly concerned for "the rest of society" when an 18 year old football player gets in a skirmish on the old round-ball court.
As a UT fan, I would have liked to have seen the other football players really go after this law student. The defense really needs to swarm and gang tackle as a unit, and frankly this shows a lack of fire and effort. Coach Muschamp must be disappointed.
Hook 'em
"Punish Vaccaro for what exactly?"
Well, he's now been charged with misdemeanor assault, so, I guess, misdemeanor assault.
"sounds like Vaccaro did pop him one (like a man)"
Lessee, he act's like an asshole and picks on a guy, the guy sticks up for himself, so he hits him. Woohoo! Real winner there.
Yes, I making an assumption here, but it's not like his critics are even saying to wait until Vaccaro gets his day in court, they're assuming as well - they're just assuming the other guy started with fight . . . with the d-back . . . and all his friends . . . and for some reason witnesses aren't coming forward to exonerate the d-back.
In any case, there's no need to make assumptions, this is a pretty big and widely used gym and chances are it has security cameras. So, we'll find soon enough and since they've issued an arrest warrant for Vaccaro instead of the law student (even without witnesses), I'm willing to bet somebody took a look at what's on those cameras.
-73
Well, here goes: for those of you who didn't pay attention in Civ Pro, an affidavit is a sworn statement. Virtually all of the "evidence" anyone here has access to comes from . . . an affidavit . . . signed by one of two people. . . who got into a fight at a college gym. F*** me if I'm wrong, but that's not exactly reliable source material.
As for "witnesses," I'd didn't see any witnesses for either party. Again, no one here knows s***.
And finally, if you are interested in finding Vaccaro's defenders, you may want to look outside ATL - perhaps on the ESPN comments or elsewhere. Say what you want about the postings on that site, but, amazingly, most non-law students do not read ATL.
Alternative Theory After Actually Reading the Affidavit
First, Vaccaro did not seek out a nerdy law student reading Blackstone in the law library. It was a pick-up basketball game and talking smack is part of it. (Elie: think 2L’s arguing original intent vs. original meaning constitutional interpretation over Ovaltine).
Fuhrman said he knew Vaccaro was a football player and “wouldn’t do anything.” Vaccaro does not benefit from making this up, so it seems that Fuhrman was attempting to provoke a fight. Each threw balls at the other and then Fuhrman chucked a basketball from 10ft hitting Vaccaro in the ear (being hit hard in the ear is second to being hit in the groin). Vaccaro smacked Fuhrman causing a swollen, cut lip. Under TX law, both Fuhrman and Vaccaro have committed Assault-bodily injury.
Now the fun part. The incident occurred on 9/20, the affidavit was signed on 9/27, and the arrest warrant was not filed until 10/7. Two and a half weeks is kind of a long time to get a warrant for a simple assault. Considering each has a valid assault claim against the other, I speculate officials had no desire to prosecute two misdemeanors amounting to a stupid courtyard brawl. But I also speculate, based on the timing, Furhman pressed for the warrant to issue and charges to be filed against.
Why would Furhman press the issue? He knows that Vaccaro is a football player and won’t press charges himself b/c that would create much more media attention for something so trivial. Also, the economy sucks and graduation is probably approaching for Furhman. So what does a douche bag law student do to get his name in the TX and national spotlight? Pick a fight with a TX football player on a nationally-recognized team!
Just my own uncorroborated theory. The courts may not unveil the truth, but I bet the TX Board of Law Examiners will when they investigate and re-examine Furhman’s Character and Fitness.
UT 3L here willing to throw this law student under the bus for the sake of Longhorn football. oo/
49. So now you're a 'thug' if you get into a fight while playing sports? You must be one of the biggest pussys on the planet. In fact, this entire thread is full of fucking d-bags that need to get punched in the mouth.
This is coming from a lawyer (that isn't laid off) that couldn't stand 80% of my law school class that, like the guy in this article, are huge spineless crybabys.
Cry me a river and props to this Vacarro guy for putting a little bia in his place.
The kid assaults a football player by hitting him with a basketball and you are trying to make him out to be a defenseless victim? This article is a complete load of crap.
Sounds like the law student got what he was asking for. This is common sense for normal people: don't start sh*t you can't finish. What do you expect when you throw a bball at someone's head from 10 ft. away? That they're going to return it to you giftwrapped?
Also, this guy should turn in his man card for pressing charges over a small scuffle that he helped initiate.
73/78,
The guy stuck up for himself by winging a basketball into the d-back's head. Truly noble. Part of sticking up for yourself is getting hit in the mouth sometimes (I'll take a flyer that you've never experienced this).
Good - stick up for yourself. But after you hit someone in the head with a basketball, be prepared for the consequences . Don't run to the police because of a split lip. That's not standing up for yourself anymore, that's sour grapes.
I'm really curious as to just what alternative universe houses most of the commenters on this article. 1) Since when is it "pussy" behavior to file a police complaint when one is assaulted? C'mon people, most of you are lawyers/law students, etc. Do you have to go to freakin' HLS to understand that both parties here "assaulted" each other by throwing basketballs? Oh, I see, for some commenters it's then time to "man up" and start a fight. Puleeze...that's the law of the jungle, assholes, not the rule of law. 2) To the commenters who once again try to blame this on President Obama: GTFO. I'm so sick and tired of you bigoted racist assholes complaining; yes, the man sitting in the White House is (half) black; sfw??? It's really amazing to encounter such ignorance, machismo bullshit and just plain lies. Here's a clue; Obama won....legitimately. No need for the Supreme Court to intervene, no fooling with voting machines. OK? Now, if you would like to return to the good old days of the Cheney Administration, sorry, the time machine is broken. It's the 21st century, no, we are no longer living in 1920. Yes, I am aware that I am just as anonymous as the rest of you, but that's my prerogative.
The football player is a fresman (redshirt or not isn't made clear), so he is at the oldest 19 or 20. Mr. law student is at a minimum 23, and quite possibly significantly older (if he is a 3L, he is 25 at a minimum). Mr. law student has the benefit of greater maturity (in terms of biological age at any rate), education and overall life experience. Thus, I would argue that in this instance, where both sides have clearly gotten their panties all bunched up and have contributed to an escalation in inane b-ball hostilities, the burden lies with Mr. law student to think clearly and behave like a rational quasi-adult. An 18 or 19 year old college football player (or ANY testosterone addled guy that age) is neither rational, nor an adult. Unfortunately, Mr. law student instead elected to tag his far more dangerous opponent in the back of the head with a basketball. The result? He got popped in the face. Nobody should face criminal charges for this incident. Nobody should be investigated or expelled or benched. Instead, Mr. law student should put some ice on his lip and use the experience as an opportunity for growth. Mr. football player will hopefully mature somewhat from the negative publicity this whole stupid mess has brought his way, and will vent that frustration on a hapless Oklahoma wideout.
87 - amen.
80 ftw. I would never, ever press charges for anything that happened in the heat of a basketball game. Perhaps I'd make an exception if the guy used some sort of weapon (and I don't mean a leather basketball).
What I don't understand about some people's comments is that you're ignoring the fact that Fuhrmann's team lost a pickup game against Vaccaro's team, and Fuhrmann refused to leave the court. He stared down Vaccaro, and violated the Gregory rules of vacating the court so the next match could begin. And then he struck Vaccaro in the head with a basketball, which understandably elicited a punch.
So those of you equating Vaccaro's behavior to some sort of thuggery or undue violence are obviously completely out to lunch. Vaccaro should have been the bigger person and reported that Furhmann refused to leave the court, but can you really blame the kid for responding to an attack with a single punch?
Also, as a law student and former college athlete myself, I think I can say this pretty safely: law students, including former ones, seem to have a sense of entitlement and ownership of all matters civil. It's really quite absurd.
"What I don't understand about some people's comments is that you're ignoring the fact that Fuhrmann's team lost a pickup game against Vaccaro's team, and Fuhrmann refused to leave the court."
If that's true, he got what he deserved.
It's like that CrimPro Supreme Court case where some guy got killed after welching on a bet. I would have voted "not guilty" because there is a code. That code includes paying your gambling debts and leaving the court when your team loses at pick-up.
Jonathan is a nice guy, and it took the football player hitting him 5 times with the ball for him to throw it back at his head. I'd say that was justified reciprocal force; the punch was what was uncalled for.
90, and 91, you're both morons.
"The guy stuck up for himself by winging a basketball into the d-back's head."
Is there something that causes that causes people defending Vaccaro to magically miss the statement that he was throwing balls at Fuhrman first when they read this?
If it was alright to punch a guy when you get a ball thrown at you, it was alright for Fuhrman to throw a ball as well when Vaccaro did this to him, right?
So his throwing a basketball at Vaccaro was then justified, right?
So, we might as well skip this part, since I guess we're assuming Vaccaro was justified in throwing in the first place (assuming what Fuhrman says is true) and just go to "is it alright for Vaccaro to go around punching people?"
I don't expect this kind of reasoning from regular fans of high school football, for educated people to resort to this is ridiculous.
Hell, just say you want him playing on Saturday, I'm not saying I'll agree with it, but I'll have more respect. This is pathetic.
