Yeah, I'm as surprised as you are that Jim is still around. And yes, he's absolutely an undeniable a-hole.

However!

This is a pretty entertaining rant on the situation.



On the press release starting with "The Daniels Family is deeply disappointed...":

quote:

"What does the Daniels family have to do with anything at all? Why is the Daniels family speaking for Jayden? Jayden's family shouldn't be issuing any statements on behalf of Jayden unless Jayden has died. Is Jayden dead? That's when your family issues statements about you. Otherwise you issue your own statements."

On comparing JD to Burrow and Cannon:

quote:

"...Those are the other two Heisman winners in LSU history and neither of their numbers have been issued since. However, there is a key distinction here. Both Burrow and Cannon also won the natty. Neither Joe Burrow nor Billy Cannon ended their LSU careers in the Reliaquest Bowl. And Jayden Daniels didn't even play in the Reliaquest Bowl, he sat it out."

quote:

"Jayden...very very good player. But he's not Joe Burrow. And nobody down in the bayou seems confused about that either. As far as I can tell, everyone around Baton Rouge is saying the same thing: 'We like you dude, but you're not Joe Burrow.' And you know why they're saying that? Because he's NOT Joe Burrow. But he certainly IS butt hurt."

On wanting LSU to return the Heisman:

quote:

"Why not just show up on campus with a blowtorch and just burn the entire place to the ground? I can't believe the amount of energy that he's wasting on all of this. Instead of being fully immersed in a make-or-break NFL season, you have infected your own brain with all of this nonsense. None of this make sense."

Great point by Rome and I'm not even a fan of his.

Daniels sat out the bowl game. The other two were winning Champioships.

Exactly. Jim Rome is the man!

Daniels didn't have to sit out the bowl game that year. He would no doubt have more leverage in this latest brouhaha had he joined his team and shined that afternoon

Jim Rome is a name I've not heard in (well over) a minute. Honestly, never cared for the guy. But that part about...this is actually on JD even if people try to deflect by saying "his camp or his mom". I have to agree with Rome on this 100%.

LSU is bigger than any one player including Burrow and all other great players.

It is what it is and I choose to move on from this starting now.

I will never support a Jayden Daniels Team or anything that would put money in his or his families pocket.

Way to go mom you ruined his legacy.

Thx u for saying this. Not a lot of people recognize that LSU is bigger than the player.Maybe it’s our age but income from an era where Players gave all thanks and credit to their I overshoot for providing them the opportunity it’s to get where they are today. Diffrent times I guess..
