The defense looked a lot better than a group replacing so many early NFL departures should, and quarterback Zach Mettenberger looked very comfortable in first-year coordinator Cam Cameron's offense. The offense was without star tailback Jeremy Hill, who dressed but did not play after pleading guilty this summer to sucker-punching a man while on probation for a sex crime. (This guy will play at some point this season -- probably sooner rather than later -- and my hackier brethren are worried about Manziel's hand gestures. So there you go.) LSU should only get better when Hill comes back. I may have seriously underestimated the Tigers in my preseason rankings. The good news for LSU is that it doesn't matter what any of us think in the preseason. They play in the SEC West, and if they win, they'll be in the national title hunt.

He's right about hack journalists. There are more hacks out there than ever. It's the modern media.

Because people like you will start a thread over it and people will read his article and he will get more hits and his bosses will get more ad revenue and he won't get fired.

Hill just needs to lay low and play ball

The generic use of "sex crime" without qualification and the minimization of "hand gestures" without the context of the recently concluded NCAA investigation.

It's just piss poor journalism.
