Ladies and Gentlemen... your Biletnikoff Award Winner... Golden Tate.
Breaking and entering. But it's okay... he just had the munchies

Meanwhile, Freddie Barnes is working his butt off to make the Bears.
Sorry, story just made me laugh. Especially Pete Carroll's comments.
My dad and sister are both ND grads and I'm a fan... but Golden Tate's an azzhat.

No offense, but
WTF?
Tate, 21, was neither arrested nor cited. He was given a warning, said Officer Carla Iafrate, the public-information officer for Bellevue Police.
Officers determined Tate and his friend got access via a back door to the cafe that was left open. That door opened to a hallway residents have access to, and Tate lives in the building where Top Pot is located.
Mark Klebeck, co-founder of Top Pot Doughnuts, said in a telephone interview the bakers followed company protocol in calling police. Klebeck said once it was determined Tate lived in the building, it lessened the concerns over the situation.
So if it was someone other than an NFL player, they would have pressed charges? Seriously, double standard anyone?
Unbelievable.

I'm not a huge fan of Tate, but I definitely didn't read what you claim it says. The story says he wasn't arrested or cited because he lived in the building and came in through a door left open. If that door was in-fact not left open and he forced his way in, I would hope that would be considered breaking and entering.
To be honest, the entire story sounded like a big advertisement for this doughnut shop. Perhaps they agreed not to press charges against him if he would advertise their product.

"I'm not disappointed in a guy being in a doughnut shop when they've got maple bars like Top Pot has," Pete Carroll said. "However, under the circumstances I think they were closed or they were trying to close or something like that. So that's definitely one. We talked about it, addressed it and he's most remorseful about it and all that.
Nice response from Carroll, but then again what would you expect.
If he was not an athlete, he would have been charged. Golden, Goddell is watching you.

Give me oak any day- easier to work and has a nice, tight grain. Maple is OK but on a big project like a bar I want something that is going to take a nail and....what? Baked goods? Oh. Never mind.

Any truth to the rumor that Amstutz was at the donut shop picking up a couple dozen and tipped them off?
