Tyler Gabbert suffered a broken nose in weekend scuffle

Nexus said:
In a scene that ended with three Missouri football players wearing handcuffs, freshman quarterback Tyler Gabbert suffered a broken nose early Saturday morning when he was punched by another patron at a downtown restaurant.
Quarterbacks Blaine and Tyler Gabbert and linebacker Andrew Gachkar were handcuffed and questioned by Columbia police outside Gumby's Pizza after they had exchanged words — and at least one damaging punch — with another group of unidentified men, according to a Columbia police report. Police arrived at the restaurant at 1:27 a.m. in response to a call about a disturbance and interviewed 12 different people at the scene, Columbia police spokeswoman Officer Jessie Haden said. No arrests were made.

Gumby's General Manager Noah Schmidt, who witnessed the scene and later talked to police, said it was nothing out of the ordinary for a late night downtown.

"It was just some really drunk people," he said. "Both parties are certainly to blame, but with all the confusion there's really no way of knowing exactly who was at fault."

According to the police report, the exchange started when a group of men were hassling one of the players about taking too long in the bathroom. The talk escalated out into the restaurant – the players later told police the men were "mouthing off" – and led to a scuffle that was broken up quickly.

The unidentified males were described by one source as older than college students and likely not from Columbia. The source, who asked not to be identified, described the punch that broke Gabbert's nose as an unprovoked assault.

"He was attacked," the source said. "There's no other word for it. You've got an adult who attacked a kid, sucker punched him."

Gabbert's injury will require surgery. When questioned at the scene, Gabbert, 18, could not identify the person who hit him, Haden said.

According to the report, Gachkar required stitches after suffering a large cut on his hand from slamming it on a table and breaking a plate.

"It looked like the football players got the worst end of the deal," Columbia Police Detective Jeff Westbrook said.

The report said both sides were questioned by police, but the report did not disclose the names of the other males. A source said Blaine Gabbert, 20, was thrown to the ground by police and handcuffed, though the report did not indicate anyone was handcuffed at the scene.

The report said police suspected the players and the others involved had been drinking, but no one was ticketed or arrested for underage drinking or public intoxication. Of the three players involved, Gachkar, 21, was the only one of legal drinking age.

Schmidt said he explained to police that the players were not responsible for instigating the incident.

"When the officer finished, he couldn't figure out exactly what had happened," Westbrook said, "so he didn't have probable cause for anyone to be arrested."

No further legal action involving the players is expected.

Missouri Coach Gary Pinkel is aware of the situation, but the players will not be disciplined by the football program, team spokesman Chad Moller confirmed.

Fresh out of Parkway West High School, Tyler Gabbert enrolled at MU a semester early last month and signed his national letter of intent two weeks ago. Blaine, his older brother, is MU's starting quarterback. Gachkar is also a returning starter.

Seems like if he's old enough to lie about his age to get a beer, he's old enough to suffer the consequences of bar life after midnight.

I think the most interesting part about all this is that Blane and Tyler were clearly underage and intoxicated... the cops didn't ticket them for underage drinking... and "Gary Pinkel is aware of the situation but says no disciplinary action will be taken." Are you kidding me!!!???? Bo would have had their butts running for days for under age drinking and getting in a fight. Pinkel is a pansy!!! No wonder all the recruits want to play for him... SUH hit a parked car while trying to avoid hitting an animal last year and was punished... these kids were underage drinking in public, got into a fight, were not just drinking a little but were intoxicated and neither the cops or the coaching staff will discipline them. WOW!!!!

 
Honestly, this is funny. but also sounds like gabbert wasnt to fault other then he needs to quit jerking it in the bathroom.. "took to long in the bathroom"

Stuff happens

as girl said... pathetic, pathetic, PATHETIC. Drunk in public, underage, in a fight.. Riiiiight, no punishment.. of course the source is going to say the other people weren't from columbia cuz that person obviously knew it was blaine and tyler gabbert, and was probably begging to slob all over their knobs. gotta make it seem like they are innocent little victims. MU fans would be ALL over this if it were an NU player or players, but since its not, no big deal.

 
"Looks like the football players got the worse end of the deal." HAHAH! Baby Gabs got toasted in a fight. It's pry good he didn't come here because Crick and Stein would make him get nose surgery once every couple of weeks.

 
Sounds like they did kick that plates a$$. "Dude, I totally smashed that effin plate!" (High fives all around) "Yeah, like that plate is Nebraska next year."

Tyler will look back at his years at MU, and this night will be one of the highlights. dedhoarse
