re: La. Appeals Court sides with players after SEC appeal

quote:

There wasn't a ruling made in favor of the players or anyone. The only thing that was ruled on is that the state Judge (in this case Judge Jorden) has the authority to grant a stay. That's all that this was.

I mean that isn’t exactly nothing.

It’s saying that the stay is effective, which should allow the players the protection to play while the case move through the courts, exactly the same protection Chambliss is playing under this weekend, as no ruling has been reached in his case either.


It also slaps Finebaum around for his “kangaroo court” shtick he pulled all week as well. This isn’t just some “rogue biased state court judge”, this is a three judge appellate panel and they affirmed the state court action that should have allowed these players to be rostered during the case.

In fact, this is even a stronger case for these players because Chambliss’ case never received appellate confirmation because the SEC DIDN’T EVEN APPEAL. He simply got his TRO and rolled down the street from the courthouse back to campus. So he truly is playing just under some Ole Miss homer, at least according to Finebaum, if he was being consistent, which he never is.


But no one will report on this, especially not that dildo with ears, and the national audience will continue to operate under the dishonest impression that Kiffin and LSU are dirty and trying to cheat by playing “pro players”.


Maybe the players will get a mention on Gameday next year when the SEC has to pay them damages for violating their right to pursue their rightful fifth year of eligibility, which they never waived because they were told they didn’t have one only to have the rules changed a month later.
