    Per capita, Louisiana is the state with the most players in the NFL.

    Clark has a job waiting for him after his playing days, not bad for a guy undrafted out of LSU. Think about this one. Peanut was drafted in 2003 by the Bears also drafted in that same year was Troy Polamalu by the Steelers, Ike was drafted in the 4th round by the Steelers the same year. Thats a lot of talent in that 2003 draft. The year before in 2002, thats when the Giants took a shot on a undrafted guy out of LSU, Ryan Clark.

    Peanut Tillman was a great player, I use to have an open pass at ULL during his playing days. A former LSU player was the WR coach there at that time, Tyke Tolbert. Tyke is the WR coach at Denver now and doing well. Great to see all those guys doing well.

    I supported TM thru all the troubles at LSU. But this week, I hope Drew lights his ass up.

    NO ... I SAY NO.

    1 sack, 1 tfl, 1 interception, and leads the Cardinals in tackles.

    Saints still win since I picked em in my Old Chicago leaderboard.

    I hope Mathieu takes Ingram's head off and runs it into the end zone thinking its the ball and spikes it and it Walking Dead splats all over his uniform.

    Jimmy Graham certainly lit his ass up.

    And IIRC Ingram didn't play. Rumors swirl in NOLA that he wants to be traded but Payton is denying that now.

    You know I seem to be in the minority from most LSU fans. But I cannot understand why we are all such Tyrann fans in the NFL
    Think about it.
    LSU gave him an opportunity, for one year he dazzled us with his play making ability, he kept screwing up, LSU and fans kept giving him another chance.
    Then he screws up again, this time he is off the team and we proceed to go through a PR nightmare how our best players are pot heads among other things.
    But wait, he is given ANOTHER chance to rejoin the team, after missing a year at LSU that could have used him and LSU initially invested their resources for.
    BUT WAIT, he is about to rejoin the team giving LSU another PR nightmare but he decided to hang around our ex QB smoking Weed again so bad he gets arrested again.

    So I am not doubting his ability to play football. But was he really a good representative of LSU while he was here ?

    I guess I am less of a fan because he hurt LSU with his dumb decisions.
    Sure glad he is doing well in the NFL.
    But seeing PP thrive that is what I enjoy as an LSU fan who made the most of his opportunity to be at LSU and still represents us well. Devery Henderson back in the day, or Ridley, or Matt Flynn

    But Honey Badger. Nah... He took what LSU gave him and smashed it on a rock in my opinion.

    It was just weed, man. It's not like he raped or killed or beat people up. It's not like he took money and sold autographs.

    He broke a rule and had to leave, but was a Heisman Friggin' Trophy finalist and he's a likeable guy and people do like him. They just don't hold the weed smoking against him. Glass house for most of us. He's going to be an NFL star and we're all proud of him. The weed never hurt him just like it never hurt any of us from having long and successful careers. After 45 years of heavy marijuana abuse I can tell you one thing . . . . .

    I forget.
