Joe Mixon Video Released
- Thread starter Darth Snow
- Start date
Musberger must love the taste of shoe because he puts his foot in his mouth on a regular basis.
The whole conversation didn't need to happen. He could have simply said "Mixon has come back strong after sitting out a season due to some very bad judgement."
Sad in the context of seeing Keith Jackson earlier in he day at the Rose bowl and being reminded of how he never avoided issues but was so completely professional in handling them.

Here is some nice video of Mixon and his team mates celebrating a TD by fake punching him in the face. Mixon could get hit by a bus today and the world would be a better place.

He actually defended his comment pretty well.
After someone tipped him off what his initial comments caused. I like Musburger actually.

Actually , he didn't. He was yelling at his audience and came off as an angry old man back peddling and not doing well at that.
I actually didn't listen even though the volume was on. Dude gets on my nerves. I'm ok with second chances but you better do the work to earn that.

As did you.
Mixon and his teammates' behavior are not indicative of people who have learned anything from this. They are gloating about it. I don't understand how anyone with a sense of decency doesn't get sick when they see that.
Mixon lost nothing over what he did. Don't try to tell me that things would have been the same if he was not a potential star football player. This is the kind of **** that makes me hate college football - a lot more than the actions of Fournette or C Mac.

I would expect that in Norman Oklahoma if a young black man were to drop a young white female in public and he was not a scholarship athlete at OU that he would be doing jail time on a felony charge.
And I think you are right in the behavior after the incident. I understand second chances and a persons life shouldn't be ruined over one moments terrible judgment but that second chance needs to be earned as well with remorse and a demonstrated change in behavior.
Seeing a human piece of garbage like Tyreek Hill celebrated by the league, his team and the fanbase makes me hate pro ball even more. Okie State at least had the decency to get him the **** off their football team.
Agreed. I really get sick of being told that these guys are contrite and that they have paid the price for their actions. You almost never hear it from the players themselves.
Still having trouble getting my head around the OU TD celebration linked above. Has anyone in that program responded to that? Have they even been asked about it?
I have no use for "sincere" apologies that are read by the athletes or in some cases just handed out that you can tell were written by somebody in Media Relations with input from the legal department. Then the guy go back to life as "normal" expecting everyone to give him a pass because he apologized.
Sometimes you do get guys who demonstrate some significant change in behavior. As bad as what he did was Michael Vick has apparently continued to donate his time and efforts to the humane society speaking out against dog fighting long after his sentence was served and he was released from his legal obligations. He has also paid off his financial debts instead of taking a chapt 7 bankruptcy. I hate what he did but his actions indicate that he is deserving of a second chance. In to many of these cases that isn't the case.
I am glad that Mixon has not gotten into any further trouble. I hope that this means he is sincere and has grown into a real man since that happened. I hope it is accurate that violence against women is now a one-strike-and-you're-out policy under Stoops. But I'm a long ass way from being able to cheer for Mixon and it pissed me off that Musberger was lecturing like I should be celebrating this guy and wishing him well in the NFL. No, thanks. I'll be perfectly fine if someone else earns a spot on an NFL roster instead of him.
