Quote:Welcome back, i figured you were struggling to figure out which side of hostiletakeovers argument you wanted to be on. Like trav pointed out, the majority of people believe the punishment is too harsh. Blow hard.. i guess i am. Here i was thinking i was a reasonable fsu fan. I guess those don't exist.


Edit. Also would like to point out not one time did i rib gator fans or put down Grier for this. He made a mistake that had a huge consequence. These college athletes are more than numbers on a jersey, you could see it during his press conference. I genuinely feel bad for the guy.

 

I can see both sides of the argument and agree with a lot of his points.  I do think a lot of the stuff sold at GNC gives an athletic advantage that is unfair and things that are used to mask steroids and the like....but I don't think what he took was for that in this case.  Do I think he may have done steroids in the past, maybe, but not during the season.

 

I also completely disagree with how he talks about the football programs being able to self discipline.  I think most programs have proven over and over that they are unable to be bias in self disciplining.  If someone like Grier can miss a whole season for this and then you see the guys only miss a game for other stuff that I would consider much much worse....its a joke,
