you are naïve. saban's "suspension" will not amount to a slap on the wrist. the fricking law didn't have the balls to prosecute them. the only lesson learned here is that football players are above the law in SOME situations.

I can assure you that if you were arrested smoking weed in a car in the middle of the night and unregistered and one stolen gun was found in your possession YOU would not skate.

I was critical of Saban for not even suspending the players when the news came out, so I have to give the man some credit now. He wasn't the most strict but did do something about it.

Yep. And yep.

Not my collection (I've only got four). But I'm working on it.

50% of the individuals in that smelly weed soaked vehicle didn't even get arrested GrandDad. And that DA y'all have in Louisiana didn't find enough solid evidence to prosecute the other 50% (football players) that were arrested.

I look for the DA in Monroe to step down after his boneheaded comments which has the whole country laughing at his office.


He probably will now that he has enough bag money from the REC.

Yeah, that part I don't think is based on who they are. I imagine Hootie either tested positive for something or it isn't his first time with drugs.


Let me put it to you this way....this ain't Hootie's first run in with Coach on this very issue.

Now, I don't know who mandated the Bradford drug rehab program for these two cats, or who imposed community service work, or who dictated that they attend gun safety education, or ride night patrol with the police. But obviously those requirements were handed down by someone in authority because these guys have been active in those tasks for the past 5 weeks, all prior to the DA's ruling.

Now you just sound like a sore loser, Grandad. Anyone who has actually seen more than the headline and the DA's remarks on Fox understands that the DA was protecting his own office by not prosecuting. The search was not legal, the stolen gun was not stolen by anyone in the vehicle (or none of the football players, at least), and the other gun was declared before the cops found it. There wasn't even enough pot for a regular stoner to be hassled by the cops - anyone else would have been ignored or sent home. If you can't see that the whole reason this escalated to the level it did was BECAUSE these were Bama players in the car, then you are just being jaded. If this was in Alabama, then I'd definitely think some inside shite when down. But this was Louisiana - not even in a non-football area, but right in the home of ULM (LSU-North, whatever). REC got some pull, but not that much.
And if you got lawyered up like these guys probably did, you'd easily get off without prosecution. It happens every day.

Who made these guys do community service? Go through drug rehab? Attend fun safety classes? Ride around on police patrols?

This is all BEFORE the DA even ruled on the case.

You would if you wanted to possibly remain a part of the Alabama football team..and you'd do it with a smile on your face.

I never said anything about the rehab programs.

My post was in response to this comment by you:

Hootie is the one with a possible legal problem going forward.
The quote is in my original post

So you are completely misstating what I said, which is what stupid/dishonest people do.

Also, frick you.

"I see where Hootie was admitted as an inpatient for a 21 day treatment program and Cam wasn't. I'd guess that Hootie is the one with a possible legal problem going forward."

Above is my original post...and you couldn't tie my first sentence and second sentence together to understand what I was implying, huh? This makes it evident that you're either deceitful, stupid, or both....case closed.

"Laughing at an earlier post that the defense atty "showed that the evidence was gathered illegally & would have to be thrown out of court". That's about as meaningful as Johnny Cochran proclaiming the glove was planted". Point being, defense attys can & do say anything they want to the press. Proving it in court is a whole different ballgame. As I read it, the cop walked up to the car ( not illegal), looked in (not illegal) & saw both the gun & the weed in plain sight. In those circumstances, that is more than enough legal cause to investigate further without need of a search warrant. But, yea, the defense atty says it was illegal, so that makes it illegal.

There were Dismissed the next day. Hell with suspension.
