a friend of mine text me during the game asking if Hatcher was from Arkansas. Seriously, when was the last time you have seen a more pathetic excuse for an SEC safety? Danny McCray looks like Ronnie Lott compared to this dude.
Didn't Brett write that? Seriously on one hand you say to yourself, no way a guy from LSU throws the game like that, but if you watch those plays, it sure as hell looks like he was. Not saying he was, but it looked like it.
There have been two times in the past 30 years when I suspected a player was shaving points in basketball and twice when I suspected a football player of giving up TD's for the opponent. It's impossible to prove, of course. But Big-Time gamblers, including organized crime syndicates, have huge amounts of money to tempt a player with. You know that it happens.
on saturday, i gave him the hookfin-mccray award for defensive unexcellence. the award sits in the thomas dunson room on the toi cook/dave waymer wing of my house.
That was a big reason that Perrilloux's little riverboat fake ID excursion and friendly chat with the feds over counterfeiting should have raised bedsheet-sized red flags IMO while a lot of fans were saying "Oh he's just a kid having fun, give him a break." These guys catch a kid with a gambling problem and owing some money to Big Vito, and you know it has to happen. Having said that there's not even the beginning of a shred of evidence in that "column" that Hatcher's dirty, it just appears that he's a terrible safety.
