10.06.08 BRANDON BACKE PUNCHED A COP
Astros pitcher Brandon Backe attended a wedding at a Galveston resort over the weekend, and you know how wedding receptions are: you try to take open containers of alcohol into the pool, then you punch a cop and get arrested.
The incident started at the resort’s swimming pool bar. A guest shoved a police officer after the officer told him he could not bring an open container of alcohol into the area, and the incident escalated into a riot after the man — and others — refused to comply with the officer’s commands, police said.
At one point, police told Backe to back off but police said Backe struggled with officers instead — [exchanging] blows to the face with one officer.
More weddings should be like that, I think. Too often you go to weddings, and all the anger and quiet seething gets swept under the rug or limited to passive-aggressive sniping between the bride and her new in-laws, or the bride and groom, or the bride and her bridesmaids. Nothing seals a solemn vow of marriage and the union of two families like a pool bar brawl with the cops.

He knew his buddies had his Backe.
/Sorry
See, I should have tried this at my wedding to get a few shots in on some of the annoying jerkoffs on her side of the family and blame it on ‘blind, drunken, pig hating rage’.
Sounds like roid rage. Betcha Backe’s got Backne.
punching a cop is like throwing a bong. you should never do that, kid. ever.
Hmmmm… I’ve punched a security guard at one wedding, tried to stab a waiter at another wedding, but I’ve been very polite to the cops each time they came to arrest me for my wild shennanigans. It’s unwise to punch the police, they tend to get angry and take out their nightsticks.
Isn’t Galveston just one big swimming pool anyway?
i’ll be he keeps his job. you only get fired for body slamming the GM.
Then Albert Pujols rode off on a motorcycle with Backe’s wife.
