RadioWryn 0 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I'm hearing a 4-game suspension for Sears starting with the Wash State game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-zoner 0 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 He has allready been punished for what he has done...the georgia game and the bowl game (although unofficaly that wasnt punishment). Hes not gunna get another dose of punishment just because he was found guilty in court, we all knew he was guilty when it happened. He has paid his dues, I dont think he will miss anymore games.

WarTim 3,456 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Maybe, instead of taking the easy way out, he made an attempt to do the right thing. I am glad this is all behind him and the Team and he can now get ready for the Season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not easier one way or the other being found guilty. Well at least our drunks are of legal age.....the jackasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grider 1 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I think he needs to sit for a few more games. He might have sat already for bringing the program into an bad light, now it is time to pay the piper for his 3 convictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermike 3,027 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Judging from recent events, if he were a Bama LB, the charges would have been dropped and the arresting policeman would have had to apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about homers. Go look in the mirror hypocrit. Think I'm being a little harsh today? Damn right, the crap coming out of the bama nation over the NYT article has renewed my intense hatred for all things bama and it's not likely to go away anytime soon. You will get yours again soon.

Also there is the case of David Palmer driving a car while drunk. Being involved in a wreck in which the other vehicle was destroyed and the driver severely injured. I don't remember if DP missed any games or not. But he didn't do any jail time, not even over night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven_tiger 5 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I don't really have too much sympathy for people who drink AND drive. My dad was almost killed by a guy that had 4+ DUI priors back in the early 80's. Let's face it, we like every other team, has young men that make mistakes. Some guys just never outgrow the chronic knucklehead syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should chill on the name calling. My comment wasnt a slam at AU, it wasnt a negative one...it was an OBVIOUS one. Hell I was taking up for sears by saying it was the right thing to do. But some of you people here are so anti bama...that you will take a bama fan's comment about the weather and try and turn it into a flame bama war. And they didnt drop the charges in the Simpson case. He got drug school BECAUSE he pleaded guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'76 Tiger 108 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 On this topic and a few others, the flames on individual players and to other posters have gotten a little out of hand. I think it's time for a little adult supervision. To the admins: I am NOT flaming you. This is a great board because of your efforts. At time your job seems thankless. I want to thank and encourage you all. War Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger88 934 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 We have a woodshed here for threads that get out of haqnd and that's what it's here for. If a thread bothers you then report it via the report button or something and they may move it off the main board for you and they may not. The only thing really bad on this thread to me is where proud called bg an a-hole which was pretty uncool. Of course I just called lsuscott a coonass on another thread. He was in fact being a true coonass though so I see nothing wrong with that. The admin here has always had a policy of letting people duke it out a little here and sometimes it gets a little heated just like real life. Adds a little flavor to the board.
