Do dating rules change for your 19yr daughter if he happens to be a 30yr old NFL player?

Jaguars WR Kassim Osgood(notes) had to jump for his life on Monday night when he leapt out of a second-floor window to escape a armed intruder who attacked him and a 19-year-old Jaguars cheerleader, according to police.


Osgood was watching television late Monday night with Mackenzie Rae Putnal when the armed intruder, Putnal's ex-boyfriend, entered wielding a gun. The intruder pistol-whipped Osgood in the head after pulling Putnal by her hair and hitting her with the gun and his fists.


Putnal escaped to her parents' home downstairs and grabbed a gun. Putnal exchanged fire with the intruder but shots from both guns missed.


Osgood jammed a chair under the door and jumped out a window to the lawn below. He ran to a neighbor's house to call police. Osgood sustained minor bruises during the attack and while fleeing

1. This sounds like a movie scene. Damn.

Or R. Kelly's long ass story book/song.

2. I would tell her about groupies. I knew one once. She regularly got a phone call

at 1:00 AM her baseball player pal hadn't found a date for the night. She'd go. They'd have fun. Then it would be the same thing the next night. Oh and make her practice safe sex.

3. My daughter can make her own rules when she's 19. That story could go either way on Osgood, though..

It's poorly written. It sounds like it's saying that Osgood ran away to leave the 19 year old cheerleader to gunfight her ex boyfriend, but there is no time sequence in the story. I could also read it that Osgood fought the man until the cheerleader left, then he jumped from a window to escape, and then the cheerleader came back with the gun, maybe not knowing Osgood had escaped.

I guess we'll have to wait for a reporter who knows how to read and write a story before we can tell if Osgood is a hero or coward.

4. Upon further review, this story doesn't make him look good.

Mackenzie Rae Putnal and Osgood, 30, were watching television in a second-floor game room just before 11:15 p.m. when a man walked in with his face covered with a plastic bag and pointed a gun at them. Exclaiming that "I can’t believe you’re with that guy," he pulled Putnal around the room by her hair and hit her with gun and fists before hitting Osgood in the head with the weapon too, the arrest report said.

The gunman took the woman’s cell phone and tackled her when she tried to flee, holding the gun to her head as well as Osgood’s and also hitting her dog several times. When ordered to sit on the floor, Putnal escaped down a hall and leaped over the balcony to the floor below, the report said.

The gunman ran after her, so Osgood jammed a chair under the game room door handle and jumped out a window to the lawn below, running to a neighbor’s house to call police. Meanwhile, Bartletto and Putnal confronted each other downstairs with guns. The woman targeted him with her laser sight before both shot at each other and missed.

Running away while your date/girlfriend/acquiantence is being chased by a man with a gun isn't high on my list of honorable options in that situation.

5. Running to call the police is smarter than running after a guy with a gun

I think he did the right thing. (Anyway, maybe he already knew what a badass his girlfriend is, and was just running to cover before she started blasting :) )
