The day after being cut by the New England Patriots, punter Danny Baugher is alleged to have turned his anger and frustration on his 54-year-old father.
Baugher, released by the team on Aug. 29, has been charged with assaulting his father, Erle, in a fast-food parking lot at 4 a.m. on Aug. 30, police said.
Police said Danny Baugher, 23, was drunk at the time and told them that he "was released by the New England Patriots [Aug. 29] and he was not handling it very well," according to a police report obtained by the Boston Herald.
I'm sure after being summoned to Coach Belichick's office, Baugher pretty much decided that he and his good buddy Jack Daniels would deal with him being released. I'm sure after some "alone time" (aka Huge Bender), Baugher would regroup and land himself on another roster - I'm mean he did boom a 70 yard punt. Then his father had to start laying on the crap. I can hear it now, "You're not good enough to be a Patriot - you wanna know why? Because you're a BUM! You'll always be a BUM!" Baugher just wanted to be wasted and eat his 4th Double Quarter Pounder with cheese at 4:00 a.m. and be left alone. I think "Dad" got off easy - instead of getting bashed in the face, Baugher could have punted his father nuts into his esophagus. We can only hope that all this legal b/s doesn't cause Baugher to pull a "Ray Finkle".
