Crime Beat: 'Irate Fan' Reportedly Assaults Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen

ND QB Jimmy Clausen fumbling against Michigan.
Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen was reportedly sucker-punched by an "irate fan" over the weekend after yet another embarrassing loss (this one to Connecticut). One more black eye for Notre Dame football.

The fan probably should have punched coach Charlie Weis (who will be fired any day now, despite his huge contract), but Weis is a big guy and might have hit back. Clausen has pretty good stats this season, but this would have been a big moment so he probably had little chance of connecting with a return punch.

No police reports of the supposed incident had been located as of early this morning, but the assault was said to have taken place while Clausen was dining with his parents. The suspect could be any of the 120,000 Notre Dame alums worldwide.

Very responsible to suggest that someone should punch another person.

You are clearly lost if you're making comments like that. Jimmy Clausen has been one of a hand full of bright spots this year. To put him on blast like that is so pointless. The kid had done everything in his power to try to make them win. The play calling in terrible and the defense is gross. SO just try to go easy next time. Thats all I'm asking.

Are you serious? Clausen had some amazing final minute drives early in the season. I think THE KID is over-rated but he's good. youre an idiot

I sympathize with you Notre Dame fans and defenders of Clausen, but please notice that I wrote that the "irate fan" should have punched Charlie Weis, not Clausen.

And a special note to the scumbag (or scumbags) who simply commented: "Jew." Fuck off. You can't even spell "Adolf." Criticize me all you want and do it with whatever moniker you choose, but if you're going say shit like that, sign it with your real name.

Quite frankly, the douche bag who punched him wasn't very smart. Way to pick a fight with an in-shape college football athlete. Like he was ever going to win that fight.
