QuoteAdd Pro Bowlers Donovan McNabb and Jeremiah Trotter to a growing list of people who have received handicapped parking complaints written by local Philadelphia disabled advocates Maryann Cottrell and Richard Holland, according to the GLOUCESTER COUNTY TIMES.
Cottrell, who has a 20-year-old daughter who suffers from autism, signed complaints against vehicles registered to the Philadelphia Eagles stars on the evening of Nov. 28 at the Landmark Americana Tap and Grille on the corner of Route 322 and Main Street.
Derek Boyko, a spokesman for the Eagles, said that though McNabb's vehicle was there, the Eagles quarterback was not in Glassboro the evening the complaint was signed. That day, McNabb had surgery in Philadelphia for a sports hernia, an injury that ended his season in early November, Boyko said.
Boyko was unable to confirm several reports that both vehicles were parked by valets, but he said that providing parking was part of Trotter's contract with the Landmark for a weekly live sports talk show he hosted at the local hotspot on Sports Talk 610 WIP during the regular season.
"Nobody is saying our players can park wherever they want," Boyko said.
i heard koy detmer got apprehended for peeing in a parking garage
Yeah, this is relevant. How about moving this to the "Who gives a fauck" forum.

Case closed.
even so...if he just had surgery...he probably had some temp handicap tags.
either way, i dont care about this even a little, i didnt care when iverson did it, or when TO did it, and i dont care now. despite my reply being here.
Quote...and Owens was continuing to defy the Coach and the team by, for example, repeatedly violating the dress code and parking in coaches' spaces and in handicapped spots.

What exactly are you getting at here?
The ruling was FAR from just his parking issues...and it happened more than once...he was warned about it...yet continued to do so.

I'm pointing out that TO--who we know did this repeatedly--may not be the only Eagle who thinks he can park wherever he wants. Emphasis on "may."

QuoteEagles | McNabb, Trotter no-shows for court over parking violations
Thu, 2 Mar 2006 13:34:21 -0800
Sam Wood, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb and LB Jeremiah Trotter did not appear for a mandatory court appearance Wednesday, March 1, in a South Jersey municipal courtroom. The players are accused of parking in a handicapped spot at a sports bar where Trotter hosted a radio show. A judge rejected letters of defense sent by agents working for the players and said that the players must appear or be represented by an attorney. McNabb and Trotter were cited for failing to appear and will have their hearings rescheduled
They're both hoodlums with no respect for the law.
The race is on to get these guys in the "Arrested in '06" thread.
QuoteMcNabb fined, Trotter's license suspended for parking violations
By Sam Wood
INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Eagles superstar Donovan McNabb was convicted today of parking his SUV in a handicapped spot - even though his bodyguard admitted he was the driver that day.
Glassboro Municipal Judge Charlee Sprigman at the same time suspended Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotters license after he failed to appear in court to answer three tickets for parking in handicapped spots issued to vehicles registered to him.
Sprigman fined McNabb $256, plus $33 court costs. The quarterback, who has 20 days to appeal, gave no indication whether he would pay or take it to a higher court.
McNabb appeared in court in a white linen suit and dark alligator shoes. He did not speak. He was accompanied by his bodyguard and two lawyers.
McNabb's bodyguard, Troy Oglesby, testified he was driving McNabb's SUV on Nov. 28 and parked in a handicapped spot at the Landmark sports bar in Glassboro. He blamed a bar employee, who was directing traffic in the crowded parking lot.
Glassboro parking activist Maryann Cottrell saw the shiny SUV in the handicapped spot and snapped pictures. Police traced the vehicle to McNabb and mailed a ticket.
Cottrell also reported Trotter's vehicle on at least one occassion.
McNabb's lawyer, Raymond Williams, produced records from Hahnemann University Hospital showing that McNabb underwent surgery for his sports hernia the day of the parking violation.
The judge said New Jersey law considers the vehicle owner jointly responsible, even if someone else is driving.
McNabb was in the friggin hospital having his hernia surgery that day. He should appeal it because its total BS that he's responsible for that.
Yeah! He shouldn't have to pay $250. How's he ever gonna afford that?! Boooo!

I didn't mean because of the money, its the principle of it.
If had had tens of millions of dollars, I would pay the fine just to not be hassled by it. Let the underemployed hippies fight for 'principle.'

Thanks for repeating what the article already said. I know that. My point is that its BS that he is responsible for it.

it's really not that tough to not let people borrow your car.

especially if you know you are responsible for it.

no. but he can be sued subsequently if he lets someone drive his car drunk.
The fact that anyone on either side of this 'issue' would be upset about anything in this story is farging idiotic. Why is there even a thread about this?
pssst... you're contributing to it too, idiot.
Damn, now I did too.

Heh, the activist market is flooded you gotta specialize if you want to stand out.
The irony in this story is that Trotter at least and perhaps Donovan too will likely need to use handicap parking spots in the not too distant future. When they do, I hope the spots are taken up by the young kids (or their entourages), so they have to crunch their knees across 50 yards of pain instead of just ten.
Regarding the jack-offs who have nothing better to do than hunt down offenders...maybe if the cops did their goddamned jobs, the citizens wouldn't have to? I agree they are kind of pathetic, but I support them nevertheless.
Donovan got what he deserved, as did Trotter.
no do-gooder coalition is worse than Truth, i hope they all die.
donovan is less at fault than the people who saw his bodyguard park there and did nothing about it...should they all get tickets as well?...people always looking to blame the person not responsible...the bodyguard gets the ticket...no one else

Did anyone else wince after reading PG's last sentence?

Then she'd stop at a 7-11, jump out with a digital camera and start taking pics. Sometimes people would argue with her and she would get pissy.

How lame is Philadelphia's news media?
Breaking news earlier today was "Donovan McNabb found guilty!"
That was all it said as it scrolled across the bottom of the screen around 3pm.
Now its one of the top stories on the news at 4.
::)
his bodyguard is going to be bouncing at flow within a week
Why is it illegal to park in a handicapped parking space but its ok to use a handicapped toilet?
Why can hadicapped people park in my spots?
Quote from: PhillyGirl on April 05, 2006, 01:51:50 PMMcNabb? How? He didn't park there, he was getting his groin sliced open.
The law says you can't park there without a permit. Donovan's car was in the spot without a permit. He gets the tickiet.
What's so hard to understand about that?
You want a law that says the driver gets the ticket, not the owner? How you gonna enforce that? Impossible. Owner of the vehicle is responsible. It's clear as day in the law, and Donovan deserves the fine for that reason alone. Nevermind that he deserves it for letting a knucklehead drive his truck.
I believe that the law is written like that in most states. Same for those camera scans at intersections. The owner of the car will get the ticket if the car is caught on camera running the light.

QuoteEagles pair take lumps for parking
Donovan McNabb and Jeremiah Trotter are ordered to pay up for handicapped-spot violations.
By Sam Wood
Inquirer Staff Writer
Add Maryann Cottrell to the list of foes who have brought down Eagles stars Donovan McNabb and Jeremiah Trotter.
Cottrell, the 5-foot-1 mother of a handicapped woman, tackled the two football players yesterday in a South Jersey courtroom by producing photographs she took of their trucks illegally parked last year in spaces reserved for the disabled in Glassboro.
Although McNabb and Trotter said they were not the ones who had parked the vehicles, Municipal Judge Charles Sprigman found both liable.
He ordered McNabb to pay a $256 fine and $33 in court costs. Trotter, initially a no-show, appeared after the judge threatened to suspend the linebacker's driver's license. Trotter pleaded guilty to two counts of parking in handicapped spots and will pay $512 in fines and $66 in costs.
The two Eagles were among dozens of people at a special court session to dispute tickets generated by Cottrell, a 53-year-old activist for the disabled. In the last year, she has cited more than 300 vehicles parked in handicapped spaces in Gloucester County.
McNabb's attorney, Raymond Williams, scrambled to contest charges, but the result was about as dismal as the Eagles' last season.
First Williams said there was no way to prove the photographs had been taken Nov. 28, when, Cottrell said, she snapped the white truck at the Landmark sports bar in Glassboro.
He questioned whether the section where McNabb's Lincoln Mark LT had been berthed was reserved for the disabled. Williams noted that the vehicle was astride a blue-striped access aisle - not the disabled-parking space.
Williams then presented a doctor's note stating that McNabb had been undergoing surgery for a sports hernia on that date.
At last, McNabb's head of security, Troy Oglesby, took the stand and took the sack. He said he had parked the truck at the Landmark.
Cottrell, the only witness against the alleged violators, glared at the snazzily dressed bodyguard.
"He's taking the rap!" she hissed.
Oglesby told the judge that state troopers had directed him into the overcrowded parking lot, and that a restaurant employee had told him to park in the spot. He argued that the handicapped sign had been improperly posted.
"The sign is in a flowerpot," he said. "The law says it has to be in the ground."
Sprigman smiled broadly and shook his head in disbelief as Oglesby continued. Oglesby then compared McNabb to an endangered marine mammal that had been caught in a net set by Cottrell for common fish.
"It's kind of like a fisherman who goes after tuna," Oglesby said.
The judge accepted that McNabb was not the driver that night but said: "I find under New Jersey statute 39:4-139.5 that he is in fact the owner, and the statute says he is jointly responsible."
McNabb and his attorney declined to comment as they left court.
Trotter arrived almost three hours late. After pleading guilty, he offered Cottrell $200 to support her campaign.
Cottrell said she had refused the offer and suggested he donate the money to a school for handicapped children.
"He at least took it like a man and was very cordial," Cottrell said. "McNabb, on the other hand, was like, 'I am too good to be here.' "
She said 32 people were found guilty yesterday. Though Cottrell called yesterday's session "an absolute success," not everyone who appeared was found guilty.
Caitlin Wilson, 20, a junior at Rowan University, was one of 14 whose charges were dismissed.
Wilson was cited the same day as McNabb for stopping in a handicapped space to drop off a friend at Rowan's student center.
She offered some free advice about how to beat the rap, some counsel McNabb's attorney might consider if the occasion arises again.
"Bring a witness, know your story, and have no holes in that story," Wilson said. "And ask a lot of questions."
