What a melee! Everyone was out there. If you look carefully, you can see MrAynRand out there throwing some punches. I expect to be fined and suspended as soon as they identify me.

[FavreChild]

Yep, but Google said they don't plan to make any changes to the site or the way it is run.

I highly doubt that. The issue of copyrighted material will be confronted eventually....I'll leave it at that for now.

[MJZiggy]

So, what do you guys think is really going to happen when all this is said and done.

Oh yeah, Defintely. I guess I didn't make myself clear in my point. I meant that Google won't change the blogs, the appropriatenes of the material, the layout of the site. Unfortuantly, they will be getting rid of the copyrighted material. That's a big reason why the creators sold YouTube, they were about to get some major lawsuits because of the copyright stuff. So the people that have their blogs about ceremonies and their daily lives will continue to live on in happiness, but those of us who use it to see things we missed on TV, we shall suffer.

The video quality was pretty bad so it is hard to get the full effect but there was some thumping and kicking going on out there. The idiot swinging his helmet should have charges brought, from what I could see the guy he was hitting had his back turned. I think I saw some WWF stuff like body slams and such. Freaking animals......I wonder what the Grad rate is at those schools?

[Sparkey]

We might possibly have witnessed one of the dumbest people on the planet.

Ignoring the whole stupidity of the brawl itsself, and that idiot Lamar Thomas ranting stupidity on air.

Who, in a brawl, TAKES OFF their helmet in a brawl ? ?


BUT, I think none of the players should be kicked off the team or school BUT they should have their scholarships revoked....... ( I Know same result )

[Ballboy]

this is not the right place for the rumor, but alum at Wisconsin sitting next to me thought that Barry might be interested in the Miami job, and that was before this fight broke out.....seems the AD at Miami used to be the one that hired Barry at WI?(or something to that fact)

[MJZiggy]

I don't understand, why would Barry go from an AD position back down to coach?

Liberal brain fart Donna Shalala would be that person.

MIAMI -- Former Miami player Lamar Thomas lost his TV analyst job Monday over comments he made during a sideline-clearing brawl involving the Hurricanes and Florida International.



Comcast Sports SouthEast, a regional cable network that hired Thomas before the season, also decided to edit out his comments before the game is replayed later this week.


"We do not support or condone any of the comments that were made by Lamar," CSS general manager Mark Fuhrman said. The network, which is available in 5.5 million homes, will replay the game twice Wednesday.


Thomas made his comments as dozens of Miami and FIU players stormed the Orange Bowl field and fought during the third quarter of their teams' game Saturday night, an incident that led to the suspension of at least 31 players and forced officials from both schools to publicly apologize for the melee.


"Now, that's what I'm talking about," Thomas said as the brawl raged out of control. "You come into our house, you should get your behind kicked. You don't come into the OB playing that stuff. You're across the ocean over there. You're across the city. You can't come over to our place talking noise like that. You'll get your butt beat. I was about to go down the elevator to get in that thing."

Monday, on the Dan Patrick Show on ESPN Radio, Thomas said he got caught up in the moment as a former Miami player.

"Anybody who knows me knows I played the game of football with my heart on my sleeve," Thomas said. "Unfortunately for me during the fight I got a little hyped up. In no way do I condone fighting."

Miami and Florida International have campuses 9 miles apart in Miami-Dade County. It was the first meeting between the two programs, and the Hurricanes went on to win 35-0.

As the fight slowed, Thomas' comments continued.

"I say, why don't they just meet outside in the tunnel after the ball game and get it on some more? You don't come into the OB, baby," Thomas said. "We've had a down couple years but you don't come in here talking smack. Not in our house."

A tape of the fight, including Thomas' comments, was available on the Internet on Sunday and Monday. The game was available for viewing Saturday night on a pay-per-view basis.

"We do not support or condone any of the comments that were made by Lamar," Fuhrman said after the incident.

The comments will be edited out before the game is replayed later this week.

Thomas was a third-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1993 and spent six seasons in the NFL, three with the Bucs and three with the Miami Dolphins.

He has a Gainesville address, but there was no listed telephone number for him in that area. He could not be reached Monday.

Fuhrman said CSS consulted with Miami officials before determining what action needed to be taken. Miami recommends on-air personnel for its broadcasts, Fuhrman said.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Lamar Thomas sounds like a true professional. I think ESPN will come a calling soon.

Are you guys kidding?? Okay, i thought that was pretty freaking funny. I mean it would suck to be the guy getting stomped on, but besides that fact, this made my day. I mean miami was having a crappy year so i doesnt matter if they get in much trouble, and btw i really think Butch Davis is getting Cokers job.Coker hasnt done crap. He won a nationa title with Butch Davis's team. Coker may be a above average coach, but he sucks ballz at recruting. Basically what it comes down to is that to be any coach in miami, you HAVE to win or fans will complain, theres alot of fair weather fans down here. You can see that in the panthers, when the dolphins sucked, and even when the Heat sucked. But back to the fight, i thought it was funny. And who cares what happens...

Just had too ad this little quote from their dipshit university president.

....Shalala, though, insisted that the sum of the penalties handed out by Miami was strong enough.

"I believe that the young men we have recruited for our football team are young men of great character," Shalala said. "But they did a very bad thing."


LOL bad VERY BAD! but w/GREAT CHARACTER Ok Donna, pass me some liberal mustard to put on my samich.
