Johnny Football Suspend for the 1st Half of Rice game

[japancane]

I'm usually the one saying that UMiami fans should let go of the persecution complex, but stuff like this makes it hard. Makes it really tough not to at least wonder.

I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying really hard to be the shepherd.

Plus, the fact that a player can clear himself while autograph seller's words hold no weight, while we are a complete 180 degrees situation where our players words hold no weight but a convicted felons word can condemn an entire team

I don't know why part of it makes me smile. We've had this investigation and are on the heels of absolute program/coaching incompetence. Yet, we're not that far away from scaring the **** out of people.

which is part of why I think its a witch hunt. Miami and USC are the 2 teams that can **** up the ESPN/SEC love fest

the language of the findings really irks me as well. "NCAA and Texas A&M confirm there is no evidence.." An investigation should read more along the lines of 'NCAA investigation finds no evidence in..' It's as if they initially thought there was no violation and the two parties just looked at each other and said 'nope, nothing here'. The suspension is a joke though. It seriously makes a mockery of the whole thing. If you "didn't find anything" then he should be clear to play. None of this bull**** sit out a half so ole Johnny learns his lesson and becomes a better person for it

Almost as bad as letting Oregon skate for buying Seastrunk.
I thought Manziel's college career was over.
Now he just gets to rest for a half drinking Bloody Mary's to get over the previous night's bender.

If Oregon goes on probation, Nike suddenly becomes an uninterested sponsor of CFB. Easy math

Personally could care less whether he got away with anything or not, what ****es me off is they investigated the whole thing and ruled on it in less than a month. We were supposed to know the findings of the committee in 6-8 weeks and these clowns are still making us wait. It's clear the $EC gets special treatment and it makes me furious.

+1. I love JFF and hope he dominates this year. He played the system and won. Just sucks that his preferential treatment will probably kill us

obviously, but I was more implying that Miami is always a sleeping giant due to the local talent. USC won 7 games last year, but same deal. When both schools are good, they can be scary good

This will give Jonny a chance to sign more autographs while the rest of the team plays.

i'm trying to save you from sounding ridiculous.

it was working too until lucane jumped in with his big mouth.

 

[zellerdog]

lucane has had it in for me since the lounge.

 

[eleganttomcat]

Why not check bank statements and such for this case? What a ******* joke the NCAA is...

What? I can't remember even responding to you. Didn't know you were in the Lounge. Thought the only Buckeye there was Mart.

***** slapping those turds on 9/7 will be a nice start.

Why not check bank statements and such for this case? What a ****ing joke the NCAA is...

One of the brokers videotaped him signing Shiit in his hotel room because he paid him in cash.
I'm guessing the videotape was supposed to act as a receipt, in case he needed to justify the cash outlay as a business expense to the IRS, in case of an audit.

However you slice it, this whole situation reeks of favoritism.

The video is to act as evidence that he signed the footballs. COA BS.

If you are paying cash, you have the person providing the services sign an invoice showing the payment has been received.

 

[capefearcane]

"The NCAA has acknowledged Manziel did not receive money for signing autographs, the source said."

So let me get this straight. The NCAA has heard from multiple people, who's job it is to buy/sell autographs that they paid him for signatures. Yet, after his denial they acquiesce and agree he didn't.

BUT they'll take the word of a felon and liar as long as he said something twice....

Hmmm... nevermind, I guess this makes sense afterall

You just wait - one of these dealers will say it twice and Johnny F**kball will be suspended for another quarter at least. The NCAA is a joke and a bunch of clowns. But then we knew that already.
