Tyrann Mathieu Dismissed from LSU--Violation of team policy

When I said Miles was judgmental, that was a good thing for the reasons you outlined...he was empowered to make the judgment call and he made it. He was the judge.

Judgmental is not forming an opinion about right and wrong...it's determining guilt and innocence and executing a sentence. For example having an opinion that Mathieu was selfish by breaking the team rules is not judgmental.....writing him off is.

 

so nothing should be done about ridiculous laws? Just accept it?

 

I think the term "rehab" is being loosely interpreted here. I know that's what the headlines are calling it, and this too is merely speculation, but I think this is more psychiatric in nature, not so much related to synthetic pot or adderal or whatever kind of drug he uses, but more to attack the source of his issues. Again, speculating, but I think the drugs are simply a masking agent of the real issue(s) TM has. The guy is an emotional trainwreck, and has been since he came on the scene. Just my opinion, but I think this isn't so much about the drugs, but about getting his life in order.

That's why I questioned everyone assuming rehab for just pot is silly, and assuming that must mean harder substances. I don't know what drugs he's used, although it's widely accepted that one of them was the Spice. But I just don't think the drugs are THE problem here.

 

Good insight.

 

What does that mean? That's what I've always thought about this situation.

Like I said earlier, I don't think I ever clearly conveyed my thoughts on this. I tried, but maybe now I finally am.

 

That means that your statement about TM7 having personal problems is insightful.

You do realize that he was poison in the locker room and Miles had no choice but to dismiss him because of that....and that TM7 was a selfish person because he put himself and his drug habits above the well being of the team.

 

There are ridiculous laws? I'm shocked! Shocked and appalled...

 

Of course he put himself ahead of the team. No question. The 'poison', well, I do think the potential was there for him to be 'poison' to the younger guys...the freshmen. As I said, I was under the assumption when you were saying that you were talking about last season, and no, I don't think it actually did affect the locker room. Also, as asked of you before by someone else, do you also consider Ware and Simon 'poison'? They did the same thing last year...

But I've always known TM had 'personal problems'. I've always stated that was THE problem. And I've never suggested he shouldn't have been dismissed. I really fail to see where you and I disagree, except I may have misunderstood you on some things, and you may have misunderstood me on some things.

Hug?

 

Instead of hug each other maybe y'all should get a room and tug each other.

 

I'm a self tugger.
