quote:

U.S. Sen. John Kennedy had some choice words for LSU Coach Ed Orgeron and Gov. John Bel Edwards on the radio Friday morning, a day after Orgeron appeared at a campaign fundraiser for Edwards. “I don’t want to watch LSU football and have to wonder if the coach is a Democrat or Republican. I’m so angry at this,” Kennedy, a Republican, said during his rant that lasted for more than five minutes without directly naming Orgeron.


quote:

On Thursday, Orgeron introduced Edwards at a fundraiser for Edwards’ re-election campaign, calling the Democrat incumbent “a man of great character, great integrity.”


quote:

But Abraham sided with Kennedy and insinuated that he has deeper concerns about the university's leaders. “Sen. Kennedy’s correct," he said. "This is very disturbing. We have a leadership problem in Louisiana, and it extends further than the governor’s office.”

I do like to keep my politics and sports separate but I know that's impossible at LSU.

Classic O, playing the politics game and sucking up to his boss' boss, the guy who could ultimately hold his fate in his hands.

O should have taken the opportunity to ask JBE if LSU can afford football, this fall.

I don’t think I’ll ever forgive that guy for that one.

No one is denying this, but why the hell would he be that pissed at Orgeron? Also, Orgeron shouldn’t have made an appearance for that clown, but oh well.

The governor had the head coach of the LSU football team (arguably the two most recognizable faces in the state) at an event? Color me shocked. This is a nothingburger. Kennedy is soft.

Why does this matter at all?

People who let other people's political opinion bother or distract them outside the realm of a political debate/discussion are mentally unstable.

I don't care if Will Wade is a Marxist if the mother fricker keeps winning games.
