    Indeed, I am extremely anonymous. I have no respect for a guy who advocated the dismissal of a guy on Oklahoma's team because a teammate posted an off-the-cuff rap on youtube. His inevitable axe is karmic justice.

    You're a fuckhead. You realize that, right?

    So what's the karmic justice for you cheering someone getting laid off?

    Please tell me you just got stuck with a poorly timed, in-poor-taste, attempt at sarcasm because if not ... well ... I'd hate to think people like you exist in this business.

    The player in question, only a month after signing his letter-of-intent, was arrested on a felony charge of carrying a firearm on his high school campus. Plea-bargained to misdemeanor.

    Then, days before players reported to Norman, the rap video appeared, It had references to guns and shooting people. Lyrics included, “shoot you in the head and you might be dead with a halo. So hold on, don’t beg for your life.”

    And a columnist had the nerve to write the player "was undeserving of an Oklahoma scholarship." . . . a decision that Bob Stoops happened to agree with a few days later.

    Gee, I kind of thought that was a columnist's job.

    And obviously little Brian has had a bug up his ass about this for some time:

    http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2008/08/03/josh-jarboe-got-a-raw-deal/

    . . . in which he states, "Berry Tramel, last seen looking drunk at 10AM . . . "

    Is this really the best you can do in a pathetic attempt to justify your ill-advised and mean-spirited post? Jeebus.

    An embittered blogger with an ax to grind?

    A world gone mad.

    Just because you disagree with Berry's opinion doesn't mean you have to act like an idot and wish for him to be laid off. Getting laid off can be traumatizing and a huge adjustment in someone's life. That's uncalled for.

    Cook isn't acting like an idiot. He is an idiot.
