Rick Neuheisel was the coach of UCLA football from 2008-11, which just so happens to be the timeframe in which Justin Combs committed to being a Bruin. Earlier today, on the SiriusXM radio show he co-hosts, Neuheisel (who still claims to have a "pulse" at the university) dropped a few interesting nuggets on Monday's events. But first he admitted that Justin probably wouldn't even be playing there if Diddy wasn't his dad:
He also gave a brief story about what it was like to give Diddy and son a tour when he was selling them on the school:
Then he went into detail about what may have sparked Monday's kettlebell-swinging incident in the first place:
Originally it sounds like UCLA was going to sweep the whole event under the rug (this isn't exactly good publicity for any of the parties involved, after all). But due to the pesky video evidence the cops decided to proceed with the arrest (for the record, Diddy and his camp are claiming self defense):
If true, that doesn't sound like great news for Diddy's side. Of course there's always the chance Neuheisel isn't as tapped into UCLA's pulse as he says he is.
