Earlier this month, Michigan coach Brady Hoke suspended sophomore wide receiver Csont'e York indefinitely for an inability to "meet team standards." On Tuesday, Ann Arbor police supplemented Hoke's hazy words with crystal clear surveillance footage of York sucker punching a 23-year-old man in the face outside of a bar.  The altercation, like many bar-related assaults, reportedly began with a group of adult men arguing about hockey and football. And the altercation ended, like many bar-related assaults, with a sucker punch.

According to a police report, the victim lost a tooth and had have his jaw—which was broken in three places—wired shot. M-Live reports that York will be charged with one count of aggravated assault and two counts of assault and battery.
