Not NFL, but at least it's something

The football future of Brian Banks, the former Long Beach Polytechnic High School football standout whose rape conviction was overturned earlier this year, is expected to be announced Friday in Las Vegas.

CBSLA.com is reporting Tuesday that he has signed with the Las Vegas Locomotives of the United Football League.

After his exoneration in May, Banks, 26, said he wanted to focus on his NFL dreams and began talks with several professional teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs, the Minnesota Vikings and the Seattle Seahawks.

Justin Brooks, director of the California Innocence Project and Banks' attorney, had invited football coaches to call and offer tryouts for Banks.

&#8220;Those coaches called,&#8221; Brooks said in a statement. &#8220;I am ecstatic that it looks like he will finally get to make his dream of playing football a reality.&#8221;

Banks had drawn national attention earlier this year after a Los Angeles judge overturned his conviction, ending a decade of turmoil that began in 2002 when a classmate accused Banks of rape.

At the time, the 17-year-old middle linebacker was drawing attention from USC, UCLA and other schools, he said, even though he had just completed his junior year of high school. He pleaded no contest to charges of kidnapping and rape, spent five years in prison and another five on parole.
Banks met with his accuser last year after she reached out to him on Facebook. She felt guilty that he wasn't able to go to college and play football, and she had "a desire to make amends," Banks' attorneys said in court documents.

She admitted she had lied about the alleged rape in a conversation that was taped by Banks and a private investigator, setting the wheels in motion for the exoneration.

"He deserved a chance," Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll told reporters after a workout in June. "This is a guy who deserved it."

I wish him the best, may he hone his skills to one day see some time in the NFL.

I still stand by my statement: he should get to legally rape that whore that lied, he did the time, so let him do the crime.

Libel and slander laws never protect the truly victimized. Problem is that when someone falsely accuses you of rape, and you're proven innocent, you'll always be labelled the "guy who got away with it."

It doesn't help that feminists say women don't lie about it. Worse the media gives those feminazis a voice.

No one is 'proven innocent' in a criminal trial. You are only found 'not guilty'.

I believe it was 60 Minutes that had a story on him and his tryout with the Seahawks. He looked to be struggling but I'm glad someone took a shot on him. He deserves the chance

Id' forgotten he went there. We were at Flowery Branch/Lake Lanier last week. Went to the training camp Thursday. Hot as a SOB but free to the public, water/G-ade/snacks were $1. Cheapest thing we did (except for the $25 hat for the kid)......:thumbsup: to the Falcons.

Good luck with the school district getting their $$ back. Too bad debtors prisons no longer exist.

He didn't make it. Sad - I was really rooting for the guy.

The good news is that Arthur Blanks is going to take care of him, so it probably will turn out ok after all.
