Tony Brown isn't a bust. He could start for probably 12 SEC teams. Needs to get his mind and attitude right. He's got first round talent.


So is he a mental bust?

Yeah, notice the D-lineman wasn't sent home.


Guessing you have trouble with reading. Article said Brown instigated the fight. Decision to send him home was made by the player leadership council, so my guess is they saw what happened, saw which guy was causing the trouble, and then decided he needed to go home.

and he can't get out of his own way, which makes him a bust. the term bust isn't solely reserved for guys that were overrated

Well unless Miles would have put up with his attitude, I'm sure he'd be in the same situation at LSU.

Well at least there won't be a pussy team vote...


Actually, there kinda was a vote. It was the leadership council, not the whole team.

They voted to send his arse home.

well i guess that leaves him two years to show he can stop being a punk and maybe find his way into the league. sounds like he's been given several second chances to not be a dickhead, so we'll see

Sounds like the players let Saban know they had had enough of Brown's shite.

I'm really proud of our team leaders voting for the mature decision. Clearly they're focused

Bama had a team vote and decided to sit him. Seriously. Because our players know that one guy is not above the team.

Most fans are fine with a team vote that sends a player's arse home. It's when a player needs to get booted and the coach kowtows to the players and lets him off that's a sign of weakness and lack of discipline. I wouldn't expect an LSU fan to know the difference.

If he went to L5U, that would be when he would be cheered on the most by L5U fans. Weird.

It's not like he sucker punched a drunk in the back of the head, it was captured on a cellphone, and then lied to cops about it, and then voted back on the team because he was a starter. He was voted sent home by his teammates, not given a 3rd chance while on probation for sex with a 14 year old.

Putting aside all the trolling, this is spot on.

Unfortunately, he seems to either like being a dickhead more than he likes getting a chance at the NFL or he is simply one by nature. Either way, I'd say the odds of him changing this far along are getting pretty slim.

Most likely, he's about to be headed to some SWAC or bad FCS program in the very near future.
