Maryland linebacker Rick Costa has been indefinitely suspended from the team after being accused of punching a police officer in the face at a local bar early Sunday morning. Costa, a senior criminology major who had been splitting time with Trey Covington at outside linebacker, was charged with assault after police were summoned to the Cornerstone Grill & Loft in College Park at about 2:25 in the morning. Costa had been trying to get into the bar and began brawling with a bouncer when told the bar was closing, police said.

And he should have gotten the heck beaten out of him too. Somebody touches me they in for a whooping. And a very bad one for that matter and I do not have any clubs or guns. I be going neanderthal on their arssee.

Notice the irony... he is a criminolgy major. Guess he is going to try to count going to the slammer for punching a cop as a temporary internship?

The fact that he's a criminology major has me laughing hard right now. Dude, the bar's closing take it for what it is. You're at least 21, go buy some beer and bring the party back to your dorm/apartment.

Case closed.

Another football player acting like a complete jackhole.... Nice goin

Haha I didn't hear about this. If you're going to punch someone in the face to get into a bar, why Cornerstone?

Just like any school, we have some jackass football players.

Idiot, this guy could probably go to half the houses in town and someone would give him a beer. Make good decisions!

Ok, so this was 2:25 Sunday morning, did Maryland play this past Saturday?

November 12, 2008  11:40 AM ET

they played and lost last Thursday at Va Tech

Another reason turtles shouldn't drink.

Remember the moron at Oregon St.? Are these two guys related. If getting a beer at 2:25 was worth getting a criminal record for, he has more serious issues than getting back on the team. Perhaps , I am Right and You Are Wrong, had it correct, he was trying to do his studies from the inside, way inside.

Carolina will defeat them this Saturday anyway.

Maybe he can use this experience for his thesis. Title: "How I punched A White Cop In The Obama Era".
