08:21 AM ET 07.19 | No matter the intent, Marc Tyler's words were ill-advised. USC's football team already faces a major issue at tailback, two weeks before training camp opens. Coach Lane Kiffin announced Monday that [Tyler] has been suspended for the Sept. 3 season opener against Minnesota, "and potentially further," after the latest in a string of off-the-field incidents involving the senior tailback. Tyler, USC's leading rusher last season, was shown on TMZ.com making comments deemed inappropriate by the university. [Responding to questions on camera, Tyler] said Trojans football players were paid more than pros. Former USC linebacker Malcolm Smith said in the video that Tyler was joking about being paid. Tyler, who has been suspended from all team activities, said in a statement Monday that he was joking when he made his comments.

I have a strong suspicion this is coming from Pat Haden and not the Lame one.

He doesn't even have to do that much with Lame. Different story with Haden IMHO.

There are things you just don't joke about. As a college player, you don't joke about being paid. As a passenger on an airplane you don't joke about bombs. This is just common sense which he seems to be lacking.

For all the Georgia fans who got all bent out of shape when we mentioned the recruitment of John Theus in the event that Richt got fired, take a look at this:

See, we are not making this up. I just succinctly said in two sentences what it took this write two paragraphs to write. Go ahead and start insulting them too.
Ok, now where were we?

Hmm, a bit odd that a joke gets this penalty but you can DUI yourself or go 100+ MPH at other schools and still play opening day...
