Western Dismisses Sims, Suspends 11 Others

Posted: Nov 14, 2008 11:25 AM

Western Illinois wide receiver Carl Sims has been kicked off the team and 11 others will be held out of Saturday's game with Illinois State after an incident at a Carbondale hotel during last week's trip to Southern Illinois.

Sims, along with several other prominent Leathernecks including wideouts Paul Anderson, Lito Senatus, and Todd Speight, and linebackers Brandon Kreczmer and Kevin Palermo have received a one-game suspension for stealing pillows from a Carbondale hotel.

The players are being forced to write a letter of apology to the hotel manager and all, expect for Sims, will be eligible to return to Western's final game November 22nd versus Youngstown State. Sims' suspension is perminent.

Okay, so I don't know if actual CHARGES were filed, but still.

I saw this on AGS and haven't stopped laughing at the stealing pillows charge.

Towels, soap, and shampoo are ok...but pillows is taking it too damn far.

Shampoo and soap, sure.
Have never understood why it is considered okay to steal towels.
Though towels aren't that expensive, so I suppose they figure in the costs for those in the room rates. Which is why I rarely stay in hotels.

But yeah, pillows are pricier than towels.

Why was one player kicked off? Did he take a sheet too?

Re: Another MVFC FB team in trouble this week...

If he did take a sheet, hopefully he left the ventilation fan running for a while afterwards. ;op

He was charged not only with pillow posession, but also intent to deliver.

I've never taken the towels, but I hear it is done a lot.

Why would anyone want a hotel sheet? Every hotel I've stayed at has had horrible sheets

Kinda wonder why they stayed overnight on a trip that is only a few hours?

One hotel I stayed at they had a sign on top of the TV with a price for everything in the room if it was taken. It even had a price for the sign with all the prices and warning on it...

You wouldn't even think of stealing the sign until you saw the price on it, then it would make you want to have it.

I want one now.
