    Supposedly ESPN sent a camera crew to Starkville and had Jeffery miked up for interview and they never went to him or even showed a shot. Bill Martin on twitter is letting ESPN know about it. This is who ESPN is and has been for a while. Anti "every day American" and bias against Mississippi and the south in general. They go out of their way to show what they think about America, outside of the two coastal elite crowds.

    Yeah they tacked that on at the end but not sure what you were watching; there was nothing but bad on him. Built up the drama before showing the video. Only video they should have shown was his highlight film.

    Keep your focus. This is shitty enough without you muddying the waters with your bullshit, dude.

    For the love of all that is holy, you of all people (due to your calling) should know that people are always evolving. At what point does someone still have to relive a mistake they made three years ago? He's proven since then that the incident wasn't who he was.

    It was over the top coverage for the sake of trying to create drama.

    Yep I got to give it to Booger. I've been hard on him in past; gotten cut him some slack now; he was only one to come to Simmons defense and put a positive spin on it. Even he could see how bad it was coming off.

    Simmons is getting a lot of support on Twitter from a lot of people, not just Bulldogs. Makes me feel a little better about the situation but still **** ESPN.

    Remember the joy we got from an old miss draft night bong mask? I guess what comes around goes around.

    Also this isn't a Mississippi State conspiracy. Some of yall are legit paranoid to the point of needing professional help. This is ESPN trying to get views and clicks. It's how entertainment works. It's a nasty business, but why are y'all.shocked?

    I thought all the announcers were very positive about everything and explained that it was under different context in which this happened.
