Bama’s AD slyly refuses to answer THE QUESTION twice in same interview

Alabama AD Greg Byrne spoke with Reece Davis and Pete Thamel on Wednesday soon after the release of Miller’s attorney’s statement. Before the interview began, Davis provided a serious misrepresentation of the situation.

Reece Davis: “Miller’s attorneys have released a statement in which they say Miller did not realize there was a gun in the car.”

No Reece, the statement did not say that. Not even close. Why did Reece lead off with such a serious misrepresentation in Miller and Alabama’s favor right before interviewing the Bama AD? Was it because Reece couldn’t read or is it because he’s a Bama grad?

Now on to the interview with Bama AD Greg Byrne.


Thamel: “So you’re saying he was simply going to pick him up and he was not going to deliver the gun?”

Byrne: “He was going to pick him up. Darius had been asking Brandon for over an hour to come pick him up.”

Yes, Byrne, we all know the story Miller was going to pick him up. Why avoid the part of the question that hasn’t been answered (the important part)? Did Miller know he was going to be delivering the gun to someone who had specifically requested the gun and indicated there was an altercation or potential altercation happening?


Davis: “Is it your assumption Brandon Miller did not read that text message before, and if so, why are you secure in that belief?”

Byrne: “I didn’t say that he didn’t read it before. What I said is that he had received text messages from Darius over the course of an hour to ask him to come pick him up.”

Again, Byrne didn’t answer the question. Byrne pretended Davis said something he didn’t say and dodged the question.


At this point, the most reasonable conclusion is that the silence on THE QUESTION from the DA, police, Miller’s attorney, and Byrne is that the silence is an admission by omission. If this is in fact the case, then:

1. Miller received a text message from Miles in the middle of the night requesting the gun and indicating there was an altercation or potential altercation.
2. Miller read the text and then delivered the gun.
3. Upon delivery, the gun was promptly used to kill an innocent woman.
4. The DA, the University of Alabama, the SEC, and the NCAA are sitting idly by while the man who supplied the gun that killed the innocent woman faces zero disciplinary action.
