This is appalling. Players and students at LSU don't drink alcohol.

It's a new day and age. You can't get away with the same shite you used to be able to get away with as a football player.

The only place people seem clear he was drinking was with the Mannings. That is the story if anyone had the balls to print it. But they don't - so they try and hang JFF and he shoved up the media and haters arse then flew to Los Angeles and won an ESPY.
All that coverage is killing A&M.

him drinking alcohol is not a problem
im 20 and i drink its no big deal
the problem is that he apparently went to bourbon the night b4 he had to participate in one of the best football camps and could not wake up the next morning for it

Imagine Joe Namath under the microscope of social media when he was running amuck.
quote:
It is well-known that Namath was suspended toward the end of his junior year by legendary coach Paul "Bear" Bryant because of a violation of team rules.
Alabama had a bye week before its last regular-season game that season against the University of Miami. Namath planned to watch the Army-Navy football game on TV, but the game was pushed back a few weeks because of the assassination of President Kennedy. Instead, he spent an evening at a local diner where, admittedly, he had literally a few sips of beer. This was a clear violation of Coach Bryant's policy of no alcohol during the season. Bryant heard a rumor that Namath had been drinking over the weekend, so he approached his star quarterback and asked him if it was true. Namath admitted to the few sips of beer (while not mentioning that many of his teammates were drunk at an off-campus party that night).
According to Mark Kriegel's excellent book, Namath, after a short deliberation, Coach Bryant told Namath he could allow Namath to continue to play, but to do so would violate Bryant's principles, and the coach would have to resign. Instead, Coach Bryant decided to suspend Namath for the final regular-season game against Miami and for the upcoming Sugar Bowl.
What was so striking about all this was not so much Coach Bryant's decision to suspend Joe (which by today's standards would be absolutely draconian); it was Namath's reaction. As the news hit the wires that Joe Namath, star quarterback for the University of Alabama, was suspended for the remainder of the season, Namath spent the next several days living in Coach Bryant's basement, the guest of Coach Bryant's wife, so as to shield him from the media storm. He was actually living under the same roof as the man who just kicked him off the team. When Joe Scarborough brought the suspension up, Namath did something positively old-fashioned: he accepted responsibility for his actions. "I broke a training rule," he said.

And Kenny Stabler....
LINK
quote:
Ken (The Snake) Stabler cut more classes than he went to. Ken Stabler cut baseball practice. Ken Stabler did not show up for a baseball game. Ken Stabler's collection of speeding tickets was one of the grandest in the South. Ken Stabler cut football practice. When all this evidence came floating across the desk of Paul (Bear) Bryant, the Alabama football coach and athletic director, Bryant cut Ken Stabler.
quote:
This spring when he heard Bryant had sentenced Stabler, Namath sent Snake a wire: "He means it."
quote:
Bryant meant it, all right, and thus began Stabler's long, hot summer. Stabler moved out of Paul W. Bryant Hall, where the athletes live, and into Paty Hall, where he did not want to live. He got a job (on his own) stacking freight for a trucking company. He enrolled in summer school and made up five credit hours—one more than necessary. He wanted to play for Alabama, and by mid-August he had convinced Bryant, who reinstated him.

Wouldn't you have to subtract about 4 inches and 30 lbs too?

I expect actual thugs and criminals to come out of LSU. Kicking in a marine's face, multiple failed drug tests, etc. But posting douchey pics is a Favre/Manziel thing and ain't criminal. Nothing really to get away with per say, not like the illegal things LSU players do, other than underage drinking.

Favre was what? 6' 1"? Not that tall. Romo sized.

No, it is just to put in perspective how trivial Johnny's actions really are. LSU's QB kicked a marine in the face. Has Johnny really done anything on that level?

i kind of agree with this.
but, what was annoying were the excuses he gave.
either say "i overslept, missed camp and i am sorry. there is really no excuse for that". or say "i made a bad decision and stayed out too late, had too much fun, acted immaturely. i have apologized to the mannings and they have graciously accpeted that apology and have invited me back to the camp next year. next question."
how did all of the other big time players that have been sent home from the manning camp handle all of the media scrutiny/questions?

Johnny Turnover will be dead from a heroin overdose before he's 30

That's what Archie gets for inviting that drunk tPOS JDF rather than choosing another of finer moral fiber and character like a Aaron Murray or a Conner Shaw or even a Tahj Boyd.
