    I'm proud of Coach Miles. This was an answer that warms my heart. I've really been hoping for Miles to throw RP a public compliment, because I believe Miles would never allow a jerk with a poor attitude to be on LSU's football team (even if the kid has mega-talent). I'm very happy that Miles said he is proud of RP's progress and that he feels that RP is busting his tail to get better.

    I'm also very glad that Coach Miles took the stance on the breaking the law thing. RP has got in trouble with the law one time: when he got a misdemeanor for using his brother's id to get into a casino. Both of the daughters of the President of the United States of America have also got in trouble with the law: one daughter got one misdemeanor, the other got two misdemeanors (one for a fake id crime similar to RP).

    Most importantly, I'm extremely glad that Coach Miles compared RP to one of his own children. That's my favorite thing about Miles -- not the insane on-the-field success LSU football has had under his leadership, but his love for the boys on the LSU team -- he really does come across like he loves them like his own children. My favorite memories of Miles aren't the national championship he coached LSU to, or the great seasons he coached LSU to, or the great victories he coached LSU to, but those press conferences when he starts tearing up when he talks about how much he loves the kids he coaches... just as much as his own children. I'm proud of our Coach.

    It is sad that it takes Coach Miles to come out and proclaim that RP hasn't broken the law for some of you to realize how insignificant all of this is.

    Go where your leader leads you.

    Yeah and I find it highly amusing that so many people on an internet message think they know how to deal with RP better than the head coach. I don't understand the visceral resentment many people have for RP. He really has not screwed up THAT badly, but for whatever reason it seems that a lot of people want to believe the worst about him.

    That said, I'm hoping he can stop making any headlines that don't involve his on-the-field performance.

    To this point, his only crime is being ignorant.

    It's ignorant to call someone Osama, but I'd bet 100 of the players on the roster say the "N-Word" on regular occasion.

    Apparently, others in BR use it, too, because he was called the N-Word by someone at this "innocent" restaurant before the Osama spat.

    Drunk frat kids always try to look cool in front of their prick friends... So sometimes with enough beers in you, picking a fight with the star QB seems like a good idea.

    I dunno if you being serious or not.

    You ability to be a smart-ass has me left wondering when you are and aren't serious sometimes. hahah :)

    All I meant is that 100s of football players and college kids use racial slurs.

    and RP's use of one was only because he was provoked by someone who used one against him.

    Some people love the ruthless disciplinarian-thing. I'm sure we could all think of coaches we respect that played that role with great success. I don't know anything about basketball, but I've been led to believe Bobby McKnight was highly successful doing the ruthless disciplinarian thing. I myself liked Coach Lou Holtz back in his day. I remember when he was at ND, he suspended two star players from the huge game against rival USC, just because they missed or were late to a team meeting, and ND won the game anyway. I've also seen nationally-televised games were Coach Holtz would grab one of his players by the fask mask, jerk on it like you can't legally do on the field and scream at this kid making him look like a an idiot failure on national TV. A part of me liked that about Coach Holtz.

    When it comes to being the ruthless disciplinarian, Miles has officially suspended RP three times, and now with the recent incident at the Asian restaurant, has suspended him a 4th time. Yet, when it came to the actual law, RP was only charged one time with doing something legally wrong. Miles is being a lot more strict with RP than even the law is.

    For example, the second suspension Miles gave RP was because of the situation at the Varsity. I posted the police report of the whole situation on here somewhere in another thread on RP. The police had no problem with RP's behavior during the bar fight that broke out that night, what the police report said was the issue they had with RP was a Varsity bouncer who claimed RP came up to him later that night and pulled a gun on him. As the police report stated, the police took that allegation seriously, and dragged RP down to the police station and made him stand in a police line-up so that this Varsity bouncer could identify him as the black guy whom he claimed pulled the gun on him that night. The Varsity bouncer was unable to do so. So even though RP had zero problem with the law that night, didn't do anything legally wrong, Miles suspended him anyway (granted RP was just a back-up at the time, had he been our starter, I'd doubt Miles would have suspended him for that Alabama game, assuming that the police cleared RP's name before the Alabama game, rather than after it -- which might have been the case -- if the police had cleared RP's name via the police lineup only after that Alabama game, then yes, RP would have been suspended for the Alabama game, even if he was our starter, pending the conclusion the police came to regarding RP's guilt). Miles shows that he flirts with the strict-disciplinarian role, and I liked how he described it in his answer that BHelm cited above... its the same thing he'd do with his own children.
