Title: What I find interesting about this Tunsil situation.... Post by: Black Diamond Vol on May 01, 2016, 04:35:43 EDT Since his big gaffe Firday night, he's now had two more opportunities to meet the media and walk back his admission to being paid at Ole Miss. After a few minutes of "coaching" by his handlers, he could've come back out and said that he misspoke, he misunderstood the question and/or he didn't know what he was replying to. No one would've believed him, but it would've at least been plausible. The questions were coming at him fast and fuious, and it was pretty obvious that he's never dealt with a throng of media that large before. He had the same opportunity yesterday in Miami, but refused to talk about anything at OM.
I just found that interesting. Usually when an athlete or celebrity steps in it like that, they take it back almost immediately (Donald Trump notwithstanding). But Tunsil's statement has been marinating for 48 hours now, and there appears to be no recant forthcoming. Much to OM and Hugh Freeze's chagrin, I'm sure.

Post by: 73Volgrad on May 02, 2016, 10:47:29 EDT Some of the sports talking heads are acting like Tunsil should be treated like a wife-beater and kept out of the NFL. Others are "Meh". The best comment I heard from one was it appears when asked a direct question, he answers with the truth and does not lie. This talking head condemned an ESPN commentator for acting like Tunsil should have lied to help Ole Miss save face.
My reaction is Tunsil will answer questions honestly without any sugarcoating. I credit a good momma for teaching her child not to lie.

Post by: Tnphil on May 02, 2016, 11:28:57 EDT What I found funny was when team after team were passing on Tunsil and Saint Freeze gets on national TV and tells the nation all is well and there is a bigger plan for Tunsil. Little did Saint Freeze know that less than 2 hours later the plan was for Tunsil to throw him and Ole Miss under the bus. :dielaughing:
