The media's obsession with this is puzzling and laughable.

but since its LF, everyone just makes excuses and tells everyone to move on

I 100% agree that this is being blown way out of proportion. It was a simple mistake from a young and enthusiastic kid. With the hype the media and fans have put on him, I am surprised it hasnt gone more to his head than it has so far.
With that said...I generally am a big Coach Miles fan but I can't deny he is partly to blame for this. I think Coach Miles' emotions got the better of him this time. The post-game conference comment about Fournette "being full of himself" was the kindling to the media fire. It was not malicious and it was not intended the way the media is using it. Nonetheless, Coach MIles should have known better than to use those words. Media will latch onto any quote given to them, and anything said about him is a story that sells. Someone says...FOurnette loves apples, and the next day ESPN will have a story on it and a week long gag on Fournette and apples.
Camera's caught Coach Miles giving him a stern talk after the fact and whether him being benched in 2nd Qtr was planned or punitive, no one can really say. But, Of all the things Coach Miles handles internally, I figured this would be as well and would have rather the public show of the lesson would have stopped at the sideline talk.
Even so...none of this is as big a deal as people are making out to be. I doubt even Fournette and Coach Miles see this as such a big deal. I am sure they are back to their own selves and ready for practice to run all over ULM this weekend.

I am very dissapointed in LF. The bad thing is I bet he had been planning that for a long time. Im afraid he wont come close to living up to the hype. But LSU will be fine. We have plenty of running backs.

If it were someone from USCw they would not stop showing the dude's first TD ever in college football. I guaraaaaaauuuntee.

Getting rustled over what ESPN says is dumb. Oh, and ESPN is obviously LFournettecessed!

And to everyone saying "hes just a freshman and he scored his first td blah blah blah", what about the thousands of other freshman who were able to see that it prolly wasnt a great idea to do so?

there's not a chance this board would explode
now if it was Cam Sims going over the top for a game winning TD or Landon Collins with the pick 6 to seal the game.. and they did it? yeah, it would be nuclear. otherwise.. it would be about the same amount of threads

I think it's funny that their biggest problem with it is the fact Leonard did it against an "inferior opponent". They just keep shitting on SHSU as a football team just to crucify Leonard. Who really lacks humility here? They are patronizing SHSU and using them. Shame on you, ESPN.
