Who's the douchebag here?

    Hey, you can't say those things. Not in Doyel's America.

    I posted this on another thread, but they are prepping Newton for the NFL where you get suspended for just as much smoke.

    Not saying that either were innocent, but don't bitch about this then applaud the NFL for what happened to Roethlisberger or other NFL players that had a punishment given before the governing body even acted.

    There were also a few sentences in there about how much he likes his fellow Florida graduate columnists. (I think Whitley went to UF, I know Bianchi did.) I'm sure neither will take offense.

    A lot of times when there is a situation where a guy is going to run away with an award, people look for any reason not to vote for them. I think this is definitely the case here.

    Apparently I'm the douchebag. I'll fight you all, Bruce Lee style. Meaning, one at a time please. I can't fight all you douchebags simultaneously :)

    I still want to see Gregg and Jay Glazer fight (in a ring, in a structured manner).

    My money would be on Gregg.

    No chance, Mizzou. Glazer knows MMA. I just box. He'd kill me, and anyway, I'd rather beat up Hondo. Unless he wears cowboy boots and chews on a blade of grass like the Texan he surely is. Texans scare me.

    Did BYH and Gregggg just become best friends?

    I don't want this to turn into an MMA fight, but if you've have earned the right for a Heisman vote, you've earned the right to vote for whoever you want for whatever reason. I think there is enough scandal around many players, not just Newton - to justify not voting for them.

    As I said on another thread, if I had a vote, I wouldn't use it on Newton who stole a laptop, or LaMichael James who also spent time in jail. I'll take the next guy who is also a great player, but has a clean record too.

    Who that person is, I don't know. Maybe Kellen Moore.

    Guys can't change their ways?

    Isn't that part of what college and team sports are all about? Turning boys into men?

    I agree, mustang. If you have a vote, you've somehow earned the right to vote for whoever you want. No one's saying you CAN'T vote for someone other the Newton this year, for whatever reason. Just that some of those reasons could be viewed as dumb and irresponsible.

    His tiny fists a blur, Gregg Doyel fights the conventional wisdom to a draw.

    Awkward pause mid-first round as Doyel stops to tweet about annoying fan in third row, challenging him to fight.
