Anyone else find it odd...

[Classic]

Just imagine the response if a Cane was seen in a bong mask and then caught asking for/taking illegal handouts.

Not that either of those deeds is damnable, but Miami would be burning at the stake while a joyous crowd cheered and jeered.

Nope when it comes to the SEC they become the three blind mice but anybody else they become Edgar J. Hoover

You mean Edgar Cayce? I am pretty sure Edgar J. Hoover invented the vacuum cleaner.

He obviously meant Harry Bosch's partner, Jerry Edgar.

They would be calling for an end to the program...again.

+ 1 for Chise for going in on ESPN.

Mark Walton was on the front page of ESPN for his issues. How many other schools would have a RB in a RBBC situation with possibly 2 others (Yearby and Gus) on the front page. It's not like Walton is some well known player around the country.

Cant make this stuff up.

Root for Laremy Tunsil of Miami Dolphins, who handled bong video, Twitter, Instagram like grown-up - NFL draft 2016

Ian O'Connor must not have a gag reflex.

Where is @Gosforthespn when you need him?

Ian O'Cuunthole and ESPN are laughingstocks.

There's the difference in a nutshell.

Forget for a second we're admitted Miami homers.

Can anyone objectively say we'd get this kind of sympathy from ESPN? Also, it's not only this guy with the apologia, but the usual cast of suckups at ESPN. This approach must have been the marching orders given at the morning meetings today.

We know, objectively, what would be happening.

But again, ***** them and the rest of the world. It's only always been about us vs the everybody. We can't count on anybody else.

Hard to believe that other News networks are not screaming about this. I do not expect ESPN to cover it at all. But everyone else should be screaming about it.

I mean NFL Network kinda has to stay in their lane don't ya think....

 

[Tad Footeball]

Or even more slimey, they focus their little "embrace debate" horse**** on Tunsil's character as Finebaum probably prepares some diatribe that serves as a character witness for Freeze and Ole ****. Say what you will about Lebatard (and there's a lot to say) but he actually led his national show today with how dirty Ole **** is.

 

[AtrainCane]

Shut down the program....oh wait, its not Miami. Well in that case, his account was hacked, he was a victim.....

 

[ThomasM]

I'll go to my grave thinking the NCAA drug its feet in our "investigation" so it would be easier for SEC schools to come down and cherry pick talent a lot easier. Also, the ESPN talk of impending death penalty, when coupled with a lounge drawn out investigation... Yeah, they were in that crap together. Towards the end, after it came to light the NCAA was doing their own cheating, ESPN did a 180 and called for the investigation to end. What else could they do? It was going on 3 years and even FSU fans were wondering why it was taking so long. Dirty crap, I tell you.

 

[Gatorhater]

It would be a completely different angle from ESPN if he played at UM

They would be digging the grave and building the coffin.

So you don't you don't know J. Edgar Hoover is??

Not to speak for him but I believe he was being facetious.

Batta Boom, Batta Bing! We have a winner here! I know, I know, a dry wit doesn't translate well on the internet. But try not to use big words like "facetious" with most posters on this website, it might be too much for them.

Well for you to be "facetious" had to be a serious issue...or funny

...that the SEC's business partner, ESPN, is doing all kinds of contortions to make it appear Tunsil's texts were: either frauds made by someone else (even though Tunsil admitted writing them); or an indictment of the NCAA for exploiting players and forcing them to take payola.

Fcking pathetic.

Chise,

It's been this way for awhile.
Remember how UM was an embodiment of "all that was wrong" with college athletics back in the 1990s
and schools like NLame and Nebraska were the complete opposite to the national and local sports pundits?
Heck, even Linda Robertson openly pulled for Nebraska in her column on the eve of the '95 Orange Bowl.
But then when the ***** hit the fan at Nebraska with all of their rapists, robbers, and thugs, it became
a "college football" problem with too many young men not having opportunities and so on.
I never watch ESPN except for live sporting events but watched today to catch the reactions on Tunsil and
Ole **** and, sure enough, cue discussion about kids needing to be paid.
Disgusting.
But where are the local soFla talking heads to call out the national media?
