Jose was a bad MoFo, remember when he beat the hell out them 3 guys at a burger king.

It was Taco Bell on Highland and he tossed the guy through the plate glass window





Both wrong. It was Church's Fried Chicken on Highland.


It's funny how stories get out and probably get changed. I heard that what actually happened was that Jose and his girlfriend went through the drive-thru and when his girlfriend smiled at the guy in the window, Jose got jealous. He pulled his vehicle over and went inside to confront the guy. The guy was about 5'7" and probably 160lbs, but was a very good HS wrestler at McKinley. He tackled Jose and beat him up some and then some his friends jumped in to kick Jose some and then everyone took off. Who knows what exactly happened, but I heard this from one of the guys that jumped in (which I think is chicken $h!t) many years ago.

Game at Georgetown, I believe, though time could have twisted that memory as well.


Don't remember the game but it was a timeout with the TV getting what was going on. Dale tells him not to shoot

He was doing some chip commercial in BR after he was done playing. At the end of the commercial he would say "no way Jose".

You're adding to the noise. From Sports Illustrated

quote:

What had happened was this: One evening Vargas had stopped at a Church's Fried Chicken outlet near campus. A group of five teenagers there began taunting him, and one of them took a liking to the chain Vargas wore around his neck. A poke in the chest, a yank on the necklace—on which hung a ring given Vargas by his mother—and Vargas reacted instinctively, tackling the young man and crashing with him through a plate-glass window. The other teenagers fled as Vargas pinned his assailant to the ground, removed his own belt and began choking the fellow with it.

Vargas isn't sure what caused him to stop and let the kid get away, only that he's glad he did. He immediately phoned Brown, who rounded up some players and some baseball bats. "Justice wasn't served," Brown says. "So we formed our own little vigilante group."
