QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 02:14 PM) Big Brother fans - this is slightly NSFW - Amanda makes a "bra" out of band-aids and parades around the house. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xcnXNQeHuc She has huge fake knockers, and I can't look away. She clearly loves those tits, but hookin up with pizza boy did her in in my eyes. Aaryn is one of the hottest girls ever on the show but what a f***ing c***. Racist, biggot, b****.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 05:05 PM) What I wonder is whether the NFL has so many deplorable characters a simple product of numbers (lots of guys on NFL rosters) or if the game just happens to attract bad guys. Compared to other sports? I would guess the population that produces NFL players as well as NBA players (yes I consider them both bad) tends to be from areas that are impoverished.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 04:44 PM) But the Patriots erased him from their records the day he was charged. Some of that stuff wasn't even public knowledge yet (unless I missed the news reports about it). Once all of his actions were made public they did. And then they turned the PR machine on which has successfully deflected 100% of the news away from the Pats. Remember, this was the team that did background checks, drafted him, made him a millionaire and then EXTENDED his contract. Very good organization at doing damage control.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 07:17 PM) He still may be the next head coach of the Hoosiers. The Celtics are probably going to be bad for a while. I think the odds are good Stevens winds up back in college at some point. Right about the time Coach K retires.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 07:06 PM) Where's Wallace? So were they thinking this was only one season with that ending?? I'm f***ing addicted, that was 3 days, an entire season and I am staying home tonight to watch the second season. It really helps that I cannot drink or go to the bars, but jesus I am a "finish the whole season" junkie.

Just finished season 1 of the wire, awesome stuff.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 05:14 PM) This definitely removes heat from Tom Crean. Stephens winning at Butler over the next year or two could have put some serious pressure on Crean. This last year was Creans best chance to cement his tenue IMO, with Stevens gone he now has more rope. And thats two Matta-coaching tree guys hired into the NBA this offseason, not bad.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 05:04 PM) Yeah, we're at about $2500 for the equipment and linens and all that s***. I think the b**** is going to be the flowers. Badger, you can be Rock's date We would make a nice couple. I'm leading the slow dance. We cut way down on flowers and she made things like the center pieces. It saved us over 10k.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 05:07 PM) Cried? You mean celebrating. I thought he was the next head coach for the Hoosiers as it was his dream job.

IU fans just cried a little bit. Wow what a shock.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 04:47 PM) Wouldn't that just be evidence that Urban was better at preventing these things from coming out than the current regime? Maybe, this is the time when kids get in trouble so it looks like it hasn't dropped off much. During the season supposedly it's a lot easier to keep them out of trouble (Ben had a guy year round looking after him)

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 04:51 PM) 135ish... The food is going to be $4500ish...the booze probably $2200 or so...that is two bartenders and premium booze with all the supplies and what not...photographer I went nuts on and spent $6k, with $3k coming out of my own pocket. DJ wants $2k for two djs, 4 turntables, custom dj booths, video screens with music videos, etc... s***, you want to come? I'm in What about flowers, chairs, chair covers, tables, lighting, transportation to and from, center pieces. There is so much s*** I never even knew existed. Make sure you know all the details. We had 300 people about so you can see how much discount we got and how much stuff we cut out.

At the end of the day, NFL teams are professional organizations that poke and probe these draft prospects and have unlimited funds available to perform background checks. The report out of college was that Hernandez was at the bottom of the barrel on maturity and the Pats still took him. The guy had behavioral problems while employed and they gave him an extension. If this wasn't the Pats and wasn't based down the road from ESPN I'm sure they wouldn't be trying to place blame on anyone in the players past.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 03:00 PM) Hah...actually I feel like I'm negotiating some pretty good deals...I think we can get it done for $20k plus a little out of my own pocket here and there... How many guests? We called in every favor we had, stripped it way down and even knew the country club owner and got the food at cost and the liquor for free and still broke 20k.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 04:27 PM) Amount of arrests wouldn't seem to be a way to evaluate a guy who we believe was preventing players from arrest/facing charges Why? The amount of arrests was very high. Had to check it, 5 arrests so far this year for Florida. So they are still on pace.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 04:23 PM) That's the thing, I'm not arguing against Urban Meyer in general, just Urban Meyer at Florida. He brought in apparently the greatest person since Mother Theresa to play QB for him, but there were a ton of s***head thugs all over that team. He actually came into a dirty program this time, so keeping it clean and checking character concerns would seem to be pretty important. Florida programs in general seem to have issues. Everyone points to the arrests made during his tenure but it hasnt stopped with him leaving. At the same time Miami is being investigated and FSU is coming off of sanctions that seemed to have cleared out some of the bad apples. All colleges are going to have kids in trouble, however in the world of top notch college football, the character seems to be worse and the coverups rampant.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 04:12 PM) Its not my burden to bear Rock, you can go ahead and dig up all you want. I'm not the one making it about the poster instead of the actual story.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 04:09 PM) Whose staff is it? Who do you think made that call to begin with? This type of thing reminds me of life in the fraternity. The President acted as the delegate of the officer board to make sure all officers got their work done. The officers delegated smaller tasks to the members of the fraternity. At the end of the day, anything that happens in that fraternity comes back to the President, and while he can have his own punishment on his officers and/or his players, if enough people start screwing up, it's ultimately his head that rolls. You are blowing smoke up my ass if you think Meyer is innocent or he didn't know anything was happening. No I think they all know when players are in trouble, but if you look at the list of arrests or the article above there wasn't a whole lot of special treatment above what is typically seen around. At Miami Ben had a video guy following him around that I'd alot of the coordination for the program. At OSU under Tress, the strength coach did the babysitting. Florida arrests http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2010-0...anor-possession Frankly I think the tenure at Florida and the type of kids he brought into the program was a learning experience for Meyer. We've seen a much better class of kid so far recruited and meanwhile Florida already has 4 arrests this year which is actually on pace for more than during Meyer's tenure.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 03:49 PM) like I said, shocking Glad to see you read my old posts then. You find those other stories on those 500+ other college coaches yet? Or does it only matter when they have hoisted Crystal Footballs?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 03:53 PM) I don't think anyone is saying Urban Meyer put the gun in Aaron Hernandez's hand and forced him to shoot Odin Lloyd. I think people are saying when Aaron Hernandez, as a 17 year old, broke a dude's f***ing eardrums, Urban Meyer talked to the sheriff (who just so happened to be a UF donor) and said "make these go away." I'm sure it happens a lot, especially in SEC land. College football, more than probably any other sport, is corrupt. If you have a coach with that kind of sway, more f***ing power to you. You really think a coach would take that task? I don't. That's most likely someone else on staff.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 02:58 PM) Wait, Rock finds no fault in Urban Meyer. Shocked. This is the expose' http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-football/...ogram-will-musc I find lots of faults, go ahead and search about the time he was hired. So you should be shocked. Second, Matt Hayes, LOL. PLus the entire story was refuted. I like how the header says NCAA violations, where exactly? "Broke" Florida football, or your next head coach wasnt as good as the departing one. Third: Pat Dooley who HATES Meyer and OSU http://www.gatorsports.com/article/2013062...8?p=1&tc=pg I've never seen more media frenzy over a guy who hasnt said anything about anything. NFL player kills someone, and the blame goes to his college coach? LOL Here are the arrests of NFL players (664 of them to be exact): http://www.utsandiego.com/nfl/arrests-database/ Please point me to the stories on their college coaches and how it was their fault. There is a legitimate story on something and then there is this crap.

Roster moves coming I believe.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 02:23 PM) That was Urbans group of untouchable players that he made sure didnt stay arrested. He refuses to acknowledge that he knows about it, but I believe Janoris Jenkins exposed it when he got thrown off the team http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-0...olation-coaches LOL, seriously? What an expose. Its obviously the coaches fault when people turn out to be dirtbags, of course since the position coaches probably spend more time with them its mostly their fault, well then there is also their High School coach who vouched for them when recruited, and dont forget the pop warner coach who always gave the star kids more playing time and better halftime snacks. I noticed sour grapes Florida fans gave up the "bare cupbard" argument last season. Coach should have been there yo

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 3, 2013 -> 02:18 PM) CIRCLE-OF-TRUST!!CIRCLE-OF-TRUST!!CIRCLE-OF-TRUST!! Am I supposed to know what that means? Is that an SEC thing?
