    Whew, now that's funny right there. And true. I don't recall getting past that part.

    WTF!!!

    He was talking about the Florida Gators. You can't think of anything better to bitch about?

    Honestly I think he resented it for several reasons in my opinion:
    1) We were not dominated in that game last year. One or two plays (that Les mentions) made a huge difference.

    2) Les is an honorable soul who would never refer to another football teams players as being an inanimate object like a nail. He believes that everyone who is working hard deserves respect.

    3) Getting "nailed" is a sexual term (he basically alludes to that in the sound byte).

    (OMG I think I am losing my mind if I am actually starting to understand the mind of Miles!!!)

    I think there are a lot more important as well as interesting things to bitch about rather than how Miles refers to LSU's opponents. Cliched? Maybe. But, he has to say something, and as others have already pointed out, he could be an ass about it. Then of course, people would bitch about THAT as well. Fact is, no matter what Miles decided to say in reference to their opponents, SOMEONE SOMEWHERE will bitch.

    Damned if you do damned if you don't. I think Les respects Florida because right now they look alot like LSU circa 2010-2012.

    Nick would have lasered that sportswriter with his X-ray vision. Burned him to a crisp.
