Re: Zachariah Branch arrested in Athens following G-Day on misdemeanor charges
“A male, later identified as Zacharia Branch, continued to stand on the sidewalk without making an attempt to move. I continued to give Zacharia Branch verbal commands to move from blocking the sidewalk and advised that if he did not, he would receive a citation for blocking the sidewalk. Zacharia Branch smirked, then stepped backwards and to the right, then remained standing upon the public sidewalk, so as to obstruct, hinder, and impede free passage upon the sidewalk as well as impede free ingress/egress to or from the adjacent places of business. Due to those actions and Zacharia Branch’s failure to comply with multiple verbal lawful commands, he was placed under arrest for misdemeanor Obstruction of LEO and received a citation for Obstructing Public Sidewalks.”

Re: Zachariah Branch arrested in Athens following G-Day on misdemeanor charges
Lolol....read the latest report. I didn't know Barney Fife worked in Athens, now. I don't understand why Andy, can't just tear up the ticket and send Ol' Barn' to the back for more training.
The Cop, seemed a little "unnecessarily", confrontational to me. I'm not saying i wouldn't have reacted the same way Branch did.…if, everything went down the way they say it did.
Ridiculous! And, that's exactly the way, the smart NFL GM's are gonna see it. Imo.
The situ could've been handled better by both parties....BUT....the police officer is supposed to be "the adult in the room".
Sounds like a situation that could've been easily de-escalated. Why blow THIS up into National Headlines?.…right before the Draft?....Setup???
Go Dawgs!
Re: Zachariah Branch arrested in Athens following G-Day on misdemeanor charges
Dude was signing autographs for fans all afternoon in Sanford and helping with recruiting. Obstructing the sidewalk?? He’s 5’10” and 180lbs soaking wet. Probably just there talking to fans and got arrested for smirking and didn’t move far enough. Shame on ACCPD.
NFL Network has obtained the police report on the misdemeanor charges against Zachariah Branch, who was arrested while standing on a public sidewalk for not moving far enough when a police officer asked him to move:“A male, later identified as Zacharia Branch, continued to stand on the sidewalk without making an attempt to move. I continued to give Zacharia Branch verbal commands to move from blocking the sidewalk and advised that if he did not, he would receive a citation for blocking the sidewalk.

Re: Zachariah Branch arrested in Athens following G-Day on misdemeanor charges
Sounds to me like he didn't jump when a cop said jump!, What am I doing wrong officer? I said Move!. THis type of crap happens all the time. Believe it or not it's not even a black or white thing, just an ego trip problem with some LEO's. Don't believe me? You can literally watch videos of it all day long on YT. THere are channels devoted to this.
Re: Braves 2026
Series sweep and a 5-game winning streak. Sure feels nice to do it to the Phils. They are soon to be healthy and more of a threat.
Michael Harris has warmed up to .290 BA which is pretty good for the ninth hitter in a lineup. Good to have him on base for Ronald.
Still, the main story is leading the majors in ERA (2.66) and runs scored (122). Hard to lose when you don't give up many runs and score a bunch.
Re: Georgia football final grades for 2026 G-Day game
I’m parroting another Dawgs fan that commented here and I can’t remember who it was.About Bobo. But Bobo kept the Offense about as vanilla as it gets. Now My takes, And having seven different QBs playing I’m not to shocked at the lack of explosive passing plays. However the TEs look very promising !! Reddell is a Beast !! And the guy I was bragging about early on Prothro didn’t let me down. RBs looked really good to me !! Defense making plays with both sacks and INTs !! Another guy that I bragged about early on Tyrique Green looked good.
On both Prothro and Green I don’t mean to come across like I was the only one bragging about them when they signed on. Plenty of Dawgs fans saw what they could be. I thought over all this 2026 Dawgs team looks Very promising. Keep in mind key players were missing. Put this team on the polishing wheel summer and fall and by season’s start I Believe we will have a team ready to joust with anyone !! Go Dawgs !!
