Or more along the lines of I take the libertarian view of "Even if you haven't committed a crime, if the authorities want to get you they'll make something up to charge you"
Happy election day! Remember, if you're so disgusted with the results of this country under the leadership of both parties, and you choose not to vote, you are not the despicable human being that both sides are trying to make you feel like. – at Mobile, AL
NFL talent evaluation is hard. Mickey Loomis has been one of the best at it. But it may be time to bring in a new GM to bring a fresh perspective and fresh eyes to the organization. #Saints
Stay classy Alabama fans – at Mobile, AL
Georgia players were being told by coaches to put their helmets on as they were leaving the field. Upset Alabama fans were throwing bottles and cans at the players and on the field. #godawgs
8 don't believe that Kellen Moore is the right fit for head coach of the New Orleans #Saints. I am not calling for his firing (yet). It is clear he doesn't trust his QB to go off script when things don't go as planned (the sign of a great coach).
This needs to change – at Mobile, AL
Until fans stop watching @NFL games on TV and they stop taking advertising money from gambling companies, @nflcommish has negative incentive to improve the @NFLOfficiating that royally sucks be better #NFL #NFLFans
Dumbass bish limits who can comment on his posts, and then tries to claim that. He's so right. Nobody is contradicting him in the comments.

LSU got punched in the mouth 17–0 on the road in Ole Miss’s Super-bowl then fought all the way back to 24–24. LSU also outrushed Ole Miss 172–63, controlled the Rebels’ ground game, and still drove to the Ole Miss 6-yard line with a chance to tie late. LSU has the better team. Ole Miss has the better Quarterback. (Currently)
#Ravens fams complaining about bad officiating, and #Saints fans one upping them just goes to show, us Saints fans are better at it (complaining about refs) and doing it longer #dedication – at Mobile, AL
This loss is on the equipment staff for the Saints. There's been too many slips and mishandling of balls
If you don't believe God answers prayers, look at the score of the Ole Miss LSU game – at Mobile, AL
If @Saints fans and @NFL fans want to send a message to @nflcommish about bad officiating, all they need to do is stop watching the games. When viewership starts going down, they will immediately fix the problem. Otherwise, they have no incentive to. – at Mobile, AL
But LSU didn't break any rules.... – at Tillmans Corner, AL
The SEC accusing LSU of “lack of institutional control” hits differently when you look at the timeline:
2011-12 — NCAA major-infractions case. Recruiting violations. LSU put on probation.
2012-17 — Booster John Paul Funes provides $180K in impermissible benefits to a football player’s family using money embezzled from a hospital foundation.
2013 — Les Miles investigation intentionally stored offsite. AD Joe Alleva recommends firing him. LSU keeps him.
2017-19 — Will Wade caught on FBI wiretap discussing a “strong-ass offer.”
2019 — LSU suspends Wade after he refuses to meet with LSU/NCAA officials. Reinstates him 5 weeks later.
2020 — LSU’s handling of sexual misconduct allegations exposed.
2020 — Odell Beckham Jr. hands LSU players cash after the national title.
2020 — LSU self-imposes scholarship cuts, recruiting restrictions and a bowl ban amid the NCAA investigation.
LSU’s statement:
“This decision reflects LSU’s commitment to compliance with NCAA regulations and maintenance of institutional control.”
2021 — Independent review finds systemic Title IX failures. Verge Ausberry suspended 30 days without pay.
2022 — LSU fires Wade after an NCAA Notice of Allegations containing multiple Level I allegations.
2022 — Separate NCAA case: Football commits COVID dead-period recruiting violations. One year probation.
2023 — IARP resolves the football/basketball case: multiple violations, failure to monitor, 37 football wins vacated and 3 more years probation, beginning when the prior probation ended Sept. 21, 2023.
The NCAA also alleged lack of institutional control. The IARP did not sustain that allegation.
2024 — LSU pays $1.9M to settle Title IX claims. No admission of liability.
2026 — LSU rehires Will Wade.
The AD announcing the hire? Verge Ausberry.
2026 — Wade pursues international pros, an NBA draft pick and players with professional basketball experience.
2026 — LSU pursues outside capital tied to future SEC media revenue.
2026 — LSU pushes to add players who signed NFL contracts and went through NFL camps.
Sept. 2026 — The SEC sues LSU. Ausberry is a named defendant.
LSU ultimately leaves the former NFL players off its final roster.
The SEC presses forward anyway.
Its amended complaint says LSU’s actions “confirm the lack of institutional control over the athletics program at LSU that is required by Article 6 of the SEC Constitution.”
At the informal direction of the other 15 SEC presidents and chancellors, Sankey calls a Special Meeting for Sept. 10 to consider terminating LSU’s membership — whether LSU backs off the professional players or not.
And LSU is still on NCAA probation.
It expires Sept. 21.
Twelve days from now.
Different coaches. Different scandals.
Same institution. And in some cases, the same people.
There are no legal options. LSU made a football decision. The court can allow a player to play, but the court can't make a team play a player. @Lane_Kiffin should still be fined and suspended (2 games) for his antics though

If a football game needs taxpayer money to be viable, maybe it should just go out of business – at Mobile, AL
New Orleans is on the brink of losing the 2031 Super Bowl due to political gridlock over the Omni Hotel. With just 8 weeks to go, legislators haven't approved the bond, despite years of discussion and the NFL's clear stance. #NewOrleans #SuperBowl #Politics
