What did James Carville say?

[RocketDawg]

ESPN just apologized to Greg Sankey about something Carville had said on-air earlier. Said it was "over the top". Anybody know what he said?

I suspect it was something about unfair officiating and bias toward Alabama like he'd said a week or so ago.

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

ESPN are such a bunch of pansies.

He just criticized the SEC home office, and made some animal house reference about Sankey. Maybe called him Dean Wermer Sankey, and Nick Saban Neidermeyer ?

It wasn't bad at all. ESPN won't bite the hand that feeds though

He listed a bunch of players that were suspended when they played Alabama "because of the SEC" implying that the SEC is fixing this stuff in favor of Alabama. Typical idiot fan conspiracy theory BS. Don't want your best player suspended for targeting? Don't friggin go in high against a defenseless QB throwing a pass! Was it close? Yeah, but he went in high and he didn't have to, so deal with the consequences, ya idiot.

[TUSK]

Not much really... He's just the latest & most well known person to parrot some of the silly stuff you hear from fanatics...

In summary: The SEC colludes (is in cahoots) with Bammer.... Protects them with officiating... etc...

Note: It's probably a satire piece, IMO... He's too smart to believe something this asinine...

OK, I'd forgotten about that play. I didn't think it was targeting when I saw it realtime but I suppose it was targeting with an explicit observation of the rules. Questionable calls have happened to everybody at one time or the other (except Alabama **).

It's funny how nobody seems to notice the questionable calls that happen in their teams favor, but catch the ones that hurt their team.

Carville has a voice and temperament that just about everything he says comes across as acidic, when the same words by someone else might not be taken so badly.

Carville has been saying that for two weeks. ESPN can't act like they're surprised he said it on air.
I wish they would interview me next week before we play Bama. I'll give them something that for sure warrants an apology.

Carville is right though you know.

Hell, man... Say it here...

I'm sure we'd all like a good laugh...

Wait a minute. That's true! **

shhhhhhhh.... the REC gonna push you up some stairs with talk like that!****

[RiverCityDawg]

Yes, of course, the SEC officials are directed by the league to call targeting on a team's best player in the second half of the game before they play Alabama so that they have to miss a half. Alabama's offense clearly needs help, so league officials are putting their integrity and careers on the line to help poor Saban. Makes sense.

I suspect James Carville might have had a nip or two or five of whiskey before that segment. LSU lifer he is....not that cajun's eat their cornflakes with booze in them. Just taking an uneducated guess.

[RougeDawg]

Typical Lib speaking before thinking. Let?s not forget this is the same guy who said ?if you drag a 100 dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you?ll find? and the media defended him. This was in defense of Bill Clinton and his sexual assaults as and just before being president. He has always been a political hack clown and as usual the media protects him and his idiocy.

[lastmajordog]

I’d settle for a Bama offensive lineman getting called for holding on a big play or calling a receiver for running out of bounds and coming back in....or targeting on a punt coverage.....or.....nevermind....

[Mobile Bay]

Hell, man... Say it here...

I will say it here. The REC has managed to get an amendment on the ballot in Alabama which will return Paul Jr. to the Alabama board of trustees. That will mean killing UAB football again because he still holds a grudge against Bartow for turning in his daddy for cheating. If they can do that then they can buy off refs.

Doesn't happen. Just like Davis not getting suspended for punching Mizzou player.

I bet you would and I want to hear it! Rep+1

Hard to say. He always comes across as being drunk. The guy's crazy.
