After going AWOL earlier this season, the St. Louis Rams have traded DE Anthony Hargrove to the Buffalo Bills for a 5th round draft choice.
It wasn't a trade, but recently released veteran Troy Vincent has signed with the Washington Redskins. I'm not surprised that Vincent signed somewhere, I'm just a bit stunned that he signed with the 2-4 Redskins. Usually, guys in their 15th season want to go someplace where they have a chance to, you know, win.
Putting the "U" in UGLY
I'm sure we've all had a chance to see the footage from the brawl between the University of Miami and Florida International University last Saturday night, and some of the punishments have been handed down.
And FIU wins, 18-13! FIU will be without 18 players when they play Alabama, while the "U" will be without a baker's dozen of their student/athletes when they play Duke. Not that it matters, as anyone could beat Duke. Heck, Larry Coker should send Nick Saban and the Dolphins to that one, just to make it a close game.
As troubling as this brawl was, the most disappointing aspect of the incident were the comments made on-air by CSS broadcaster Lamar Thomas (Univ. of Miami class of '93). Thomas will likely be disciplined, if not terminated, by his employer for his stoopid comments on Saturday night. And the more I think about it, the more I agree with that Thomas absolutely needs to go.
Lamar Thomas graduated from the University of Miami nearly 15 years ago. He's 36 years old, is a former NFL football player and he should be at the point in his life where he understands that swinging your helmet and stomping on players with your cleats is the wrong choice.
Thomas likely didn't say anything that other former Hurricanes were thinking, and that's the downside of the suspended adolenscence so many of their former players live in. At some point, you have to grow up. And while it's all well and good to go back and support your alma mater, it's another thing to foster the turd-like behavior that program is more well known for.
