People like that have what I call 'Glenn Guilbeau Syndrome'. They are no talent hacks that have to stir things up to get noticed. They don't care if you like them or hate them, just as long as they get the attention they're striving for.
Doyel's father was a professor at Ole Miss and Doyel himself was a student at the University of Florida.
I learned many moons ago to vehemently avoid anything that douchebag writes. Seriously, fuck him & his kiddie porn dungeon.
Well...the kid's not as bad as Douchebag Doyle makes him out to be, but his history and apparent lack of respect for the law simply make him a liability. Les will likely dismiss him, even if he doesn't have his probation revoked. And I think that's what's best for the university as a whole. It just sucks that is has to be like that. This is the THIRD DAMN TIME I've gotten truly excited about a player, just to have them kicked off the team. Why are all the most exciting players troublemakers? I just don't get it... Hill might be the worst yet, IMO. In my mind, he was going to be our Trent Richardson. Our Adrian Peterson. Our Mark Ingram. He had the potential to be the most explosive offensive player we've seen in years, if not decades. He had a way of finding the hole and then shifting into that rare second gear that all the great backs have...a rare combination of talents that no singular back has had at LSU in a long, long while. The ones who could find the hole didn't have the speed to take it home (Hester, Ridley), and the ones with the speed just couldn't find the lanes (Williams, Holliday). Damn you, Hill.
Frequently -- certainly not always, but frequently -- the same traits that make for exciting players also make them prone to getting into trouble off the field. Because they're reckless, impulsive, determined, quick to act and believe they're invincible many athletes are nearly unstoppable on the field. But those same traits don't serve them so well when they cross the boundary. Add a certain amount of immaturity to the mix and you've got a pretty bad combination. One of the best (worst) examples of this, IMO, is Billy Cannon. As I understand it, he was infamous in Baton Rouge for generally raising hell, both when he was at Istrouma and later at LSU. He got himself under enough control to get his dental degree after the NFL but many of those character traits led to his counterfeiting conviction too. I can't imagine what I would have been like at LSU if I had also been an elite athlete. I did enough dumb things as it was without heaping that on top. I also think this is where CLM earns his money. The two easiest routes for him to take would be: 1) dismiss Hill outright; or 2) not do anything and say the legal system has run its course. I think CLM does something more difficult -- and something this Doyel idiot can't comprehend. He gathers the pertinent facts, determines an appropriate punishment and sets out a specific course of action HIll will have to follow if he wants to put on the Purple and Gold again. Then he leaves it up to Jeremy, but is there for him with counseling and encouragement if Jeremy wants it. In other words, CLM will concentrate on making Hill a better person and realizes that, even if Hill royally screws the pooch, he's still a Tiger even though he might not ever play another down.
