re: Phelps vs Perrilloux - Whose issues were worse?

Not sure for me. I think we've heard a lot of rumors abour RP. Not as much about MP. Obviously MP has kept his shite together or at least kept it undercover enough to get this far.

It's a shame RP wasn't determined enough to do what's right.

I always wanted to see how our offense would operate week in and week out with him under center.

NOT REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Phelps is an Olympian though, kind of looked at as being very patriotic. Big different than a college athlete who many could not name around the country.

I personally don't know very many people who came to college, went to strip clubs, snorted coke, failed drug tests, tried getting into casinos at 19 on a fake ID, was implicated in a counterfeiting scheme, was implicated in several incidents at bars, and many other things.

I think you are being quite naive if you think these things don't go on at college campuses around the country. In his case, he was a high profile athlete under a microscope and he was exposed for his transgressions.

I guess if you want to make it sound like just because the states have lowered their limits blah blah...................that its ok because everyone else does it, it should be perceived that way. We are entitled to our opinions.

The fact remains that he did it, was caught, and had to face the punishment.

You know a lot of kids that were busted in counterfeiting schemes in college? Is your family in the mob? Did you go to Rutgers? If so, I'm sorry and you're right, I should never have argued with you, sir, and may your first child be a masculine child.


You also need to consider that Perrilloux wasn't an average college student. He was someone that was in school on a full ride that came with conditions, like don't snort coke, smoke dope, get implicated in a counterfeiting scheme, get arrested repeatedly, destroy people's property, skip meetings and practices, and generally be a thuggish dickwad.

Now if this was a run of the mill football player that did something that many of the other football players were also doing (say, going out many times a week and showing up hungover to class on occasion) and he got bounced for the team for that, then I would join others in the outrage.

how can people forget how hard and committed phelps was and is? he did something no other olmypic athelete ever did.

Perriloser was bad for the team. Phelps can smoke all the dope he wants if he can get 8 gold medals.

I like Jefferson better anyway.

i've never smoked anything. nor will i ever. so not everyone has smoked pot.

Im not sure. Let's see,

Phelps - 8 gold medals

Perriloux - 1 SEC start.

Not sure, looks like Phelps handled his business a little better.

?????????????????//

Perriloux thought he was above the team rules and continued to cut classes and misse team meetings. Perriloux even said he never thought Miles would ever kick him off the team, even after being suspended twice.

Perriloux challanged Miles once to many times, and paid the price.
