i don't blame it on the person who reported it, but i do have to admit it did not help the situation. had sipple not reported what he did, HB may have been able to come back to the team if he wanted. due to his mom running her mouth (which he has no control over), he now has to sit for a season and try to find another school that wants to put up with his "prima-dona" attitude.
so many of us are turning on a kid, yes a kid, who has no clue what the hell he is doing with his life. he will probably regret his decision and definately will regret his actions in the near future. this is something he will have to live with for the rest of his life. we only have to deal with it until it leaves our short memories. IMO people shouldn't be bashing him, he is a person too. I can guarentee everyone who reads this has done something they have regretted at some point in their lives. now imagine that situation if you had done it in the public's eye. The public and the media can make your life a living hell and turn a whole state on you.
By no means am i say what he did was right, i just think we should say good riddance and move on, we have a season and a championship to worry about.
