Best example of a football homer
This guy is definitely angling for free tickets from Kiffin since it sounds like he won't press charges. Homer be his name.

INteresting quote from Zickefoose:
"I just know how it is. a lot of people do stupid stuff."
Sound familiar?
November 13th, 2009 at 10:47 AM ^
I waiting for the quote from the dude, "they could have killed me and I still would want them to play. My life is insignificant compared to the power of TN football!"

everybody commits armed robbery.

Hear me out…
They should definitely go to through the legal system and serve jail time. Once that is done, they should be given a second chance to play football and be a student somewhere. Being a student- athlete probably gives them a better chance of doing something positively with their lives. If they never get a second chance, they are more likely to just turn to even worse crimes and it will be worse for society as a whole.
Maybe this guy did not present his argument very clearly, but I think he has a point. Some young people grow up in tough circumstances and do very stupid things, but they should still eventually get a chance to redeem themselves.

life isn't fair. you cant just go around sticking guns in people's faces and then go right back to your scholarship
November 13th, 2009 at 2:30 PM ^
These kids should not still have FULL RIDE SCHOLARSHIPS.... give them to three other kids who possibly come from "rough situations" and help them to do something positive.... I'm thinking a full ride scholarship to play in the SEC is a pretty big enough second chance for these three kids to lead good lives.... these kids, and these kids alone, made the choice to do something completely idiotic...
November 13th, 2009 at 2:48 PM ^
I am not suggesting they get a full scholarship or any other special treatment. I’m just saying it might be reasonable to think they can play college football again somewhere and hopefully they can turn their lives around.
Perhaps we should not just totally dismiss Zickefoose’s point of view, because sometimes taking the long view and giving people second chances can be a good thing for everyone.

I hope he gets robbed by the rest of the team now.

I'm trying to decide what I would do if Tate robbed me next year... not entirely sure on that one.

Ask him to autograph your forehead.

When Rick Shroeder on Silver Spoons finally got to meet his pop star idol and instead of being nice to Ricky, this singer is a total dick...Ricky is heart broken and goes home to tear the poster off his wall.
Whats that? Not similar at all? OK I see your point

I guess its never to early to start drinking - especially when it's Wisconsin week.

Was that the same as the Whitney Houston episode? Or maybe he just ran into a lot of pop music stars.

That kid has major fucking damage.

that skinny Ohio State redneck dude with the horrible teeth.
Considering that it's Tennessee, he might be both brother and first cousin. And father.
November 13th, 2009 at 11:35 AM ^
...is not that these football players performed an armed robbery or that the victim doesnt want them to be kicked off the team. The dumbest part is what the hell were those players thinking when they decided that the hillbilly driving a 1998 Hyundai Elantra was probably carrying a good amount of dough? That stupidity enough should be grounds for dismissal.

"Even after they put a gun in your face, you say let them play football?" 6 News asked.
"Yeah, it's Tennessee. That's the way it is sometimes," Zickefoose said.
Picture the typical halftime commercial put on by the competing institutions... it's always a montage of earnest, bright-faced students in chemistry class, sun-dappled quadrangles with throngs of young people striding purposefully to their calculus mid-terms, tearful sick kids in the hospital gazing worshipfully up at the offensive linemen doing charitable visits... now followed by hooded gunmen wearing UT garb holding up idiot convenience store customers.

Not everybody is the perfect person in the world, everyone does - kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me. I just feel that people need to give these Vols a chance.

He said the incident wasn't part of a drug deal? Why would he have to say that? If this was part of a drug deal it might make sense. If he presses charges and they set something up, he's taking some heat as well.

...is the same state that voted Bush twice.
I think it's safe to say these citizens can overlook "a minor lapse of judgement"
November 13th, 2009 at 12:59 PM ^
Negged for politics.
