Well well well well well. How you like me now?

pics please...lmao!

Attempted armed robbery? Damn.

What are these kids thinking? They're big men on campus, who want for nothing. Anything they need, they can get. I just don't understand why they - or any big-time NCAA football star - does stuff like this.

Some love from Crossville, TN:

I mentioned the Vandy player's mistake by getting on the wrong side of the law so I must ask what was on the minds of Lane Kiffin's recruits Nukeese Richardson, Jantzen Jackson and Mike Edwards as they allegedly attempted an armed robbery in Knoxville.

I guess this will serve as another bit of fodder for those that say that college athletes should be paid while they are in school in addition to receiving a fully paid education. Not so from my standpoint. I'm sure that Coach Kiffin will handle the situation properly. Isn't Richardson the athlete that UT lured away from Florida?

Speaking of Florida, it appears that Urban Meyer's wallet is a little bit thinner after he was fined substantially for remarks about officiating. I'll have to agree with the Florida coach about the late hit on Tebow. The hit was so late that the next play had already been called.

The Commodores played well against the Gators but as is often the case they just don't have the depth to hang in there for a full 60 minutes of football against the class of the league.

Thank you very much.

That is going in the image banks and I can see breaking it out frequently.

Because I fucking hate the Vols.

College players getting paid was furthest from my mind

Truth be told, I was more so thinking about the character of the kids and how Florida sidestepped a mine in the field

New Vols helmet.

was coming to post the same thing toothy! HA!

Guess we dodged a pellet when Lame stole him from us. Hmmm...is there a link...Lame stole him, he's out stealing...hmmm.

If he had kept that hat maybe he'd not be headed to the pokey.

Saw a quote somewhere that said "I hope he doesn't drop soap like he drops punts". OUCH.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Two of three Tennessee freshman football players charged last week in an attempted armed robbery have been dismissed from the team.

"Clearly, their actions have no place in our program," coach Lane Kiffin said Monday.

Kiffin said wide receiver Nu'Keese Richardson, 18, and defensive back Mike Edwards, 18, were permanently dismissed from the team, while former starting safety Janzen Jackson, 18, will continue to be barred from team activities while Kiffin awaits more information in his case.

Richardson was the player whose recruitment first got Kiffin in trouble with the Southeastern Conference. Kiffin joked in February that Florida coach Urban Meyer cheated in trying to keep Richardson as a Gator, earning Kiffin a reprimand from the SEC.

All three players were out on bond but kept home Saturday when Tennessee traveled to play Mississippi.

Three victims told police they were sitting in their parked vehicle at about 2 a.m. last Thursday outside a convenience store near Tennessee's campus when two males dressed in hooded jackets, one brandishing a handgun, approached and demanded, "Give us everything you've got."

"The victims stated that they all presented their wallets to the suspects and showed them that they did not have money," a police report said. "The victims stated that a third black male then approached and told the other two black males, 'We've got to go.'"

The three freshmen were arrested shortly afterward with companion Marie Montmarquet, 22, also a UT student. She allegedly drove their getaway Toyota Prius in which police found a pellet gun and hooded jackets.

The victims identified Richardson and Edwards as the men who approached their vehicle, and Jackson as the one who told them to leave, the police report said.

"After extensive and thorough research of the situation ... and considering various disciplinary options, I've decided it's in the best interest of our program to remove Nu'Keese and Mike," Kiffin said in a statement.

"We hold our student athletes to an extremely high standard on and off the field. Our student athletes must be responsible members of society, and this type of conduct will not be tolerated."

Kiffin said he hoped Richardson and Edwards "will learn from their terrible decision."

Richardson, a highly touted recruit from Pahokee, Fla., finished his Tennessee career with six catches for 58 yards. Edwards, a Cleveland, Ohio, native, played in eight games and registered five tackles.

Jackson, a Lake Charles, La., native, has started seven games this season, logging 33 tackles and a forced fumble. He was suspended for the Memphis game for undisclosed reasons, a week after he was named SEC freshman of the week for a strong performance against South Carolina.

Where and when do you suppose Nu'Keese plays his next down of football?

'Cause Bobby could use some receivers is all I'm saying.

with burt reynolds and adam sandler.

I forgot to check this forum when Bill gave me this news over the weekend. I bet Urban can't help but just giggle a little about that (of course, I'm sure he would never do so in public).

New arrest as promised:

Hmmm, guess he was lying last week in the press conference that they had a spotless arrest record right before the three stooges get pinched for AR. He had to have know about this then, how does he account for his comments that they had no off field issues?

More and more he is making that kook Al Davis look like a member of MENSA.

Also, I believe it is time to pull out and polish The Cup. Yep, the Fulmer Cup. I'm sure we can get a piece of duct-tape and cover Fulmer's and write in Lame.

So the starter gets the charges dropped. Hmmmm....

Jackson's attorney, Don Bosch, says his client was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Yeah. University of Tennessee, 2009.

LMAO Toothy.
