SEC thugs

Welcome to the Kansas Jayhawks

"So, lemme ask you this. ...How does 3 wins a year grab ya"? / Weiss

Wow

Thats going to hurt their championship aspirations.

Tyrann "Vontaze Burfict" Mathieu

He was only good as a returner anyway. A pretty average at BEST CB, often below-average.

Honey Badger don't care. He doesn't care about his stale nickname. He just plays where he wants as long as it's a 3rd rate program probably in Division II somewhere

What would stop the Chiefs from contacting the guy and see if he wants to sign as a free agent?

His terrible instincts in coverage, struggles in the mental game, and gneneral inability to play cornerback at the pro level, I would hope.

Brent Musberger will have to find something else to talk -- and talk and talk and talk and talk -- about now.

He musta did a white woman

That guy was a royal douchebag anyway.

Can't do that. He has to wait until the next draft so every team has a chance of taking him.

If they allowed players to just leave school and sign, no QB would ever enter the draft. Just go to the highest bidder with the best situation.

HUH? Why do you think they have a draft?

The "REAL" Honey Badger resides in Manhattan Kansas.

He doesn't give a ****.

ummm ... the rules?

LMAO

When I saw this I was happy because I thought it said they were kicking Honey BooBoo off the TV.

What a load of absolute crap. Now they're going to make him about to be a victim who is 'sick' and will focus on getting 'healthy'. Please...

What's wrong with that? Isn't that better than just shipping him off to get high for a different team?

It's good he's going to rehab if he has a problem. Now when he gets out, I hope UGA gets him. That way we can get some payback for Mettenberger. They take the guy we boot. We take the guy they boot.

Is he addicted to pot? Lol

never heard of drug addiction?

LSU parted ways with Mathieu a week ago after he failed multiple drug tests. According to the Fox affiliate in New Orleans, Mathieu has been in a drug rehab in Houston and will remain there for an undetermined amount of time. Former NBA player John Lucas, who reached out to Mathieu after his dismissal, runs the Right Step recovery center in Houston. Bruce Feldman of CBSsports.com says Mathieu has been there since Sunday battling marijuana addiction.


JESUS ****ING CHRIST THIS COUNTRY IS SO ****ING STUPID

From what I heard on the radio, his Dad is making him go.

Never heard of celebrities and athletes going to rehab for 'addictions' that aren't really addiction?

It's a PR move, IMO.

he's a millionaire celebrity?

he's a professional athlete?

he's neither?

Marijuana addiction. Ok.

He aspires to be one.

so?

So, I think it's a PR move because he thinks it will help him salvage whatever career he may have left.
I think that's more likely than him being so addicted to pot that he needs rehab.

I smoked pot every day for 10 years. My wife got pregnant and I had to get a job with benefits and they did random drug tests so I had to quit. It wasn't easy quitting. Not as hard as cigarettes but it wasn't easy...

unoriginal, but necessary.

NSFW- language

BINGO

I think his Dad is an ultra-religious Bible Belt guy who is making him go to save his soul. I really don't think it's about PR but you never know.

:rolleyes:

He's an aspiring professional athlete. A highly successful one who was a Heisman runner-up last year. Previous Heisman candidates/winners who returned to school took out insurance policies against their future potential earnings/worth.

His image and reputation will highly affect his draft position which will directly affect his earning potential.

This is a PR move.

And I totally believe Tiger Woods was a “sex addict” too

:rolleyes:

This is just a ploy to get him back on the LSU team.

Watch...in two weeks you'll start hearing words like "amazing recovery" and "miraculous change in attitude".

Then before you know it...BAM! On the field against Auburn.

Jesus, I actually agree with you. The Mayans were right.

I wouldn't be shocked in the least to see him back by week 2 or 3. It's just the way things work with "superstar" players.

Do you guys not want to see the best players on the field?

they're going to spend thousands on rehab for a fake addiction?

because the NFL doesn't draft pot smokers?

is his family rich?

cuase if not, it's a hella expensive PR move...

Misleading thread title. Honey badgers don't go to rehab. Ban him from football.

How much do you think those million dollar insurance policies cost? Families always seem to come up with the cash for that.

a lot less than rehab...

The eternal question of, "how much blow would you have to do to get kicked off of a Les Miles team" has finally been answered.

They don't care if he's a pot smoker. They care that he's a dumbass that gets caught. He needs to convince them he cares.

To make millions next year? Absolutely. The agent will front the money if needed.

loads of players get in trouble, don't go to rehab, and get drafted...the league only gives a shit about talent...

it doesn't make sense that they're shelling out $10,000 to prove something to league that doesn't require proof...but whatever...

Is there something more to this story? If every college football coach kicked off every player they had that was "hooked" on the hoob, I'm thinking rosters everywhere would be pretty thin.

he has an agent?

who?

You don't think teams factor character at all? Or are you under the impression he's so good no matter what he does it doesn't matter?

Sorry, should have said "in theses cases it isn't unusual for an agent to front the money". I am not aware of him having an agent.

character


everyone gets drafted...teams pay lip service to caring about that stuff

It factors. It might not make every team pass on you, but it can cost you position. No one's going to want to pay a guy a ton of money if he's too stupid to pass a drug test.

it would be cheaper, and easier, for him to simply transfer and dominate at another school, even if he has to drop a level

True. Character questions can drop you from the first round to the second or later though and that is millions of $$ so who knows?

Is it certain this isn't what he is going to do? That would make the most sense unless dude just can't handle college anymore or doesn't want to risk an injury.
Saw a report the other day saying verbiage out of LSU seemed to leave the door open for him to return next year.

LOL, weak minded people make me ROFL

better for him to go into rehab and get his mind right

i don't even know why I'm arguing, just bored


it just seems like more of a hassle to me - to go to rehab - than to just move on and say "I learned my lesson"...

certainly, rehab is not the common option for college players...though I bet many of them could genuinely use it

Yeah. I mean, rehab for pot? Really? Didn't even know there was such a thing.

Tell that to Janoris Jenkins. Top 10-15 talent and production that fell to the 2nd round.

Janoris Jenkins was also a criminal.

Not sure why, but I laughed pretty damn hard at that.

tell him what? that he got drafted in spite of his problems

ok...it proves my point, but ok

No, the point is the $10,000 (your figure) in rehab costs pale in comparison to the amount of money lost by Janoris by falling more than 20 spots in the draft.

Still trying to figure out how every other sport you are a fan of a Florida team but football is KC. Story behind it?

Why the **** does it matter?

Completely irrelevant.

A few things to know...

1. it was "synthetic" pot and while I have no direct experience with the stuff, I do have a relative who was in a bad car accident when they freaked while on the stuff.

2. Word is, this was #3. LSU policy for athletes states 1st offense is basically nothing, 2nd is "15% of remaining games that season" suspension ( he missed the Auburn game for a rumored positive test last year ), #3 is mandatory 1 year suspension, entry into a program, etc, and #4 is permanently gone.

3. The football program will not comment on if he has a chance to come back in 2013 or not - despite what USA Today et al say ( they are connected to Glenn Guilbeau, a piece of shit in Shreveport who admittedly just wants to stir the pot ).


As for Tyrann himself, while I firmly believe people are responsible for their own actions no matter their upbringing, do realize that his biological mother is ( or was? ) a drug addict, his biological dad is in jail for murder, his grandpa who was raising him passed away when he was 5, and ever since he has been raised by his Aunt & Uncle ( now know as his real parents ) in a rather rough area.

Those things aren't excuses - they are facts. So when I hear he's in a rehab program, I have to believe its legitimate; not just for addiction, but also to get away from a bad crowd that was rumored he still hung out with despite those folks not even being enrolled at LSU.

As for a 'PR move by LSU to get him back on the team'... well, that's just ignorant. Les Miles kicked Ryan Perrilloux off the team, a starting QB who reminded many of Micheal Vick in college. That loss led to LSU's mess at QB with Jefferson and Lee for the years to come. LSU has only ever had one major violation and it was recently when an assistant coach lined up a JuCo guy to get the apartment of a former player ( note - Hicks, who was just drafted this year by the Saints, paid for the apartment himself ) and made too many calls to said player. Hicks never played a snap and was removed from the team before the season even started, the coach was "allowed to find a new job elsewhere", the incident was self reported, and the self imposed sanctions were actually lightened by the NCAA ( 2 schollie loss down to 1 and such ). LSU doesn't mess around.

Is this thread relavant to CHIEFSPlanet? No, so stfu.

Yup, you're still a young, punk kid.

Yup, you're still a old pos.

does an alarm sound when someone posts about LSU on teh interwebs?
