That is so true. I actually thought about how unbelievably different this response is when compared to a good football player/team losing a game. I could care less that he has apologized and said he misspoke a few days later. When he came off the field and when the emotions of the game were still going, this is really how he feels and what he was thinking during the game. He didn’t want to win, he wanted the pressure to be off of him. He just wanted it to be over with. He wanted to not live up to the hype, to not win a championship, to not go down as one of if not the greatest Ole Miss’ team of all time, to not change everyone’s opinion of Ole Miss.

Basically, he is the anti-winner. I can’t wait for him to be benched.

stop linking that guy!

How the hell can he talk about “embarassing” anybody when he’s dressed like that? Between him and Ricky, I can see why I lot of folks hate us. 99% of us Bammers aren’t like that. I think it will be a really good game in 2 weeks.

that’s an interesting claim.

Oher played guard his first season at Ole Miss and was named a Freshman All-American.

Maybe I was thinking of Peria?

And I’m all for the general criticism of his on-the-field play, but I think parsing a 20-year-old’s off-the-cuff comments for a subconscious “loser” mentality is haughty and unfair. JUCO and I argued about this yesterday. I argued that it’s just as likely that Bradley was simply inarticulately repeating what Coach Nutt has been saying since January – polls don’t matter.

Quotes get taken out of context all the time, and folks get assigned motivations they may or may not have meant. Ask Trent Lott.
