OTF Premium CDC comments on Colin Simmons, Raleek Brown celebrations

[Shmatt]

I get it’s bad and vulgar but it’s not like our guys committed crimes so I can live with it, this whole thing is overblown. They are celebrations, not punching an opposing opponent in the face

[Joe Naural]

I bet Buddy Ryan would draft Collin Simmons.

Did you see how Colin responded with massive disrespect to Brian Jones about it all? Simmons needs some humility. I would expect and demand better from a team leader. 

Nothing to crucify him over. Let's see how he responds. 

And let's send him and Arch to a local charity with social media cameras rolling. An off week is a great time to get some good publicity out.

How so?

Do you follow Georgia football? 

Thank you Hank. at least he was not going 130 thru Residential area . Have a suggestion, if you all can not get over this, do like me and imagines since his hands were two feet from his body, he had a garden hose and was watering the burnt spot he just put on turf. Hope that helps . Know we need to fix this going forward but damn, it even made Laura Ingrahm on Fox news. Hearing they may be a congressional hearing. but after clown show yesterday, maybe not.

Collin donates a ton to his Autism foundation. I am honored and proud that he represents my University.

Agree, even Laura Ingram went off on it on Fox News. 

Ahhhh I was curious why my non football aunt was foaming at the mouth over it. That broad talking about it explains a lot.

I would imagine there could be language in NIL contracts that could lead to fines.

Pretty hard to fake culture your way to 39-8 the last 4 years. You seem to be mixing up the terms culture and discipline.

Miami played for the national title last year ranking 113th in penalties. Was their culture bad or did they just struggle with discipline?

Culture is fighting down 20 points against Ohio State in the 4th quarter. Discipline is not blocking someone in the back when the opportunity presents itself.

Isn't discipline a part of culture? Can the two be mutually exclusive?

Call me crazy but if he’s giving me 5.5 sacks every week I’ll take the 15 yards……

Absolutely not.

Was it a dumb penalty?  Absolutely.

Should it be anything more than “that’s not who we are and we’ll handle it internally”? Absolutely not.  
 

CDC breathing more life into the story when the media was finally letting it go 

Amen to this!

Then don't complain when the people that are pissed tell Sarkisian to eff off when he comes to them for the financial assistance to bring in another Simmons or Brown.

[TTown]

Another aspect I thought about and not just about this situation. Many get NIL $ not just Rev Share. So they are representing brands, companies , businesses etc. Sure they have clauses in those contracts etc. And Texas is out there trying to get more businesses involved to help all athletes NIL. So any unnecessary negative publicity can unfortunately affect those businesses etc.

So I'm sure now a lot of athletes are more careful what they post on issues etc. And how they conduct themselves. Again not piling on here, just a reality of representing companies etc. Hopefully all is well, learn and move on.

Jimmy Johnson's Miami teams fart in Simmons' general direction.

I appreciate CDC and Sark cleaning this up. 

In a world full of betting and porn that lure youth and many of lureupposedly mature men it’s,,,,,, nice to see someoe s,tand up for what is just right. ,
 

Morality anthatd decenn'tcy will never be uncool

 It’s ok to teach this to young people

Amen to this! The young players see these antics as humor. It's something they see all the time on Social Media and laugh. They need to be reminded that there is still a place for crude jokes and skits like this and public venues like Neyland Stadium is not that place.

[MBHORNSFAN]

Just curious anyone know how Many players Mack Brown had arrested vs the number Sark has had so far?

 

Roughly 25-30 Mack

Sark. 2.

The people Sarkisian will go to for those funds will not be pissed off over this long term and will not tell him to FO.

lol that won’t be the reason why they would tell sark to F off, everyone’s going to forget about this by the time next season comes around. It’s not that deep at all, Kirby has had how many kids arrested? Yet he still gets a healthy NIL backing cause he is winning at a high level. Start losing and underachieving then Sark will get told to F off.

100 percent what happened 

[charlie990]

I don't think CDC needed to say something. They'll be under the microscope by the refs in every celebration for the rest of the season as it is.
