It was the sister who called and said it was not an emergency.

"I did not want to have him arrested," she said. "When the police came, I signed papers to not press any charges. I don't fear for my safety. ...

Chris and the girl have a 3 year on/off relationship. We'll see what happens when the whole context of the he said / she said comes out. I doubt it gets prosecuted, but that didn't stop Gville cops from arresting a player. In the meantime, it looks real bad, makes Meyer look bad, Chris is out until things are cleared up. He got knocked out of the USF game with a concussion, maybe his head is more dinged up than first thought if he really threatened her. Many Gator fans are already calling for him to be kicked off the team. I'll wait until I know how much of a threat there really was.

Chris Rainey "Time to Die" T-shirts are already being sold in Knoxville in preparation for this week's game between the Florida Gators and Tennessee Volunteers, and that is a very sad thing, writes Mike Bianchi:

Chris Rainey texting a "Time to Die" threat to his girlfriend is horrible, but some idiot making fun of the situation and trying to make a buck off of it is disgusting as well. Have we reached a point in college football -- and society for that matter -- when it is OK to make light of domestic abuse and death threats against women?
Hey, I'm all for lampooning college or professional athletes who run afoul of the law, but death threats and domestic abuse are not laughing matters.
