    Gainesville PD...Im an adult man and got a ticket for parking on the line of a handicapped spot. When I say parking on a line I mean 1/4" (not a 1/2 inch) of the back tire on the line. Overzealous and GPD surely youre kidding.

    Police called to Karlos Williams apartment to break up fight with bruised pregnant girlfriend (twice) and they left with his autograph. A guy barks at police dog and is arrested...GPD is brutally overzealous and TPD is 100% integrated with the football program. I won't even consider a comment on what the Bama police do for Saban but lets just say if Saban shot someone 6 times in the head and confessed to the police he did it the dead person would be arrested for polluting the sidewalk with his blood.

    Meyer is dead money much like Gruden. Maybe those 2 can start a club. I read OJ is out now, so maybe they can start a Suicide Squad of ex-fired coaches/convicted players.

    Digging more holes. Urban looks high here and the shirtless guy walking up sends him into a panic seconds before what sounds like a bong hit lol

    Talking about timing. The kicker could make it public when he was kicked. If so urban might be fired before Mullen.

    I would take him back in a heart beat.

    Meyer has a personality problem? Are you serious when saban is around?

    It doesn’t matter if Lambo made it public immediately or not, folks would still be making excuses for Meyer regardless. I see jokes being made about why it’s ok to kick players, but I bet if Meyer kicked a dog those same folks would be crying animal cruelty.

    Yeah the culture thing got brought up on XM82 Mad Dog yesterday on a couple different shows. Various people calling in saying that the Florida Gators football team was winning because it was one of the dirtiest programs ever ran. Someone countered that UGA and Miami had arrests but they didn’t have an Aaron Hernandez, and the “culture” that is being “unraveled” before our eyes with NFL players unwilling to take Urban’s BS will probably result in more stories coming out at UF and OSU.

    Looks like an article written by Muschamp’s wife. You don’t think Saban pushes players out the back door to make room for new guys?

    Not much to see here in my opinion

    He would have been charged for beating a senior citizen and surely lost his job. Maybe he should have bitch slapped urb, then he only would have lost his job.

    It's very sad, his life really seems to be spiraling out of control.

    I've heard all this before, but yes I read the article. Nothing new there.
    Completely agree he let the locker room get far out of control here. From a football standpoint, unforgivable.
    Just ridiculous and a complete dereliction of duty.

    Where I would push back is the thinking that we had a bunch of guys who were committing all sorts of robberies/ rapes/ murders/ and Meyer let all that slide.
    That's simply not true. That's what any normal person would think when they hear "31 arrests."

    The major stuff in our program WAS dealt with, with the perps kicked off.
    Edit: I see Tommy Vee and others beat me to it.

    He got cut anyways after going 0 for 3 so that Urban kick was ineffective.

    Would not be surprised if it comes out that there are substance abuse issues.

    It's been a long time and people forget but when Saban was with the Dolphins there were lots of reports of his craziness and berating random staff people over trivialities.
