No suspension for Fanning
- Thread starter karlchilders.sixpack
- Start date
And the Discretionary Slive Suspensions will probably die with that ruling as Slive knows there will be a hell of a backlash on him if he suspends a player for a less flagrant play.
hell no they wont. slive isnt ashamed in the least by his bias.
he will suspend nickoe whitley for the rest of the season and sleep like a baby.

Mike must have gotten my letter.

It's all in the wording of "defenseless player"
That guy wasn't, he was still fighting for yardage.
ETA: Besides, I have it from a good source that the Mizzu RB told him that water sucks.

suspending a 3rd/4th team DL could have been a smart move on Slive's part...
he could feign objectivity while doing no harm. a missed opportunity IMO.

we all agree that it was overly aggressive... but, did he actually violate a specific, "new" rule?
Or was it just considered "unnecessary roughness" or "unsportsmanlike conduct" because he suplexed him?

Predictable response.
I guess there's actually no law that specifically says don't rub your exposed testicles on a drunk man's face in Krystal either, but you can see how it might be kind of wrong.
The rules exist to protect player's heads and necks. That was one of the most dangerous things I've ever seen. It warranted suspension, just like that dbag Alabama fan deserved even worse for rubbing his balls on somebody's face.

When his head is the first thing to hit the ground......
...I would say it is pretty dangerous. It is comical how Slive decides who should and should not be suspended

Dear Mr. Slive,
WOW. That is truly remarkable. No suspension for the most violent play of the year. Penalty and with announcers saying they were glad he was not KILLED on the play. However, you suspend and Ole Miss player who was NOT penalized and made a clean hit. Can you say Double Standard?
If you can sleep at night after this decision then I say more power to you. You are expected to do the RIGHT thing, but you let a clear bias cloud your judgement. Sad. Sad. Sad.
The SEC is ONE conference NOT ONE particular team.

This is the follow up letter i sent this afternoon.

What Fanning did is much more likely to result in a serious injury than what the UM guy did. He picked the guy up and slammed him down straight on top of his head. That is how necks are broken. Slive is a piece of scum. It doeswn't say much for Saben either that the guy is still playing.
And you really, really, really can't see anything objective if it is against your school can you? Have you sought help?
Didnt you say in a thread a couple f days ago that you agreed that've deserved to be punished?
I don't see how you can argue with him in any way.....
...unless you're an unfathomable homer. You are that for sure, but it's discouraged to post like that on this message board. Just completely insane for you to defend this (those, including the jail-bait teabagger) actions.

What if an MSU player had done that or just about any other school, he would have been suspended. Slive is a coward. The TSUN player that was suspended. A flag was not even thrown on the play. He gets suspended for a game. Fanning body slams a player to the ground and no suspension. That's for worse than what that TSUN player did. It hurts me to defend TSUN, facts or facts.

It doesn't have anything to do with hating Bama.
It has to do with being fair. Basically, Slive has said that the rules do not apply to Bama. Therefore, there's no point in even trying to compete, he won't allow it in review and any ref who tries to call a fair game won't call the Bama games.

I've let you slide for being a subpar poster... but that's incorrect RE Fanning
I said his actions warranted punishment/suspension...

If the SEC is so unfair to you guys...
Yall should just send the welfare money back you get each year from the SEC in protest.... don't cash the effin checks...
where was the SEC to "protect" bama during our Dark Ages (97-06) when even MSU was beating the **** out of em? Or when Arkie beat Bama with 12 men on the field? Or when LSU beat Bama on 2 separate times due to blown calls. Or in 96 when MSU beat Bama on a "no-holding" call? I could go on.... bad calls happen... to everyone...
I realize some of "you people" really remember when Bryant actually influenced calls during the game...that was a long time ago... the rest of you are just parroting what your parents and uncles told you and don't really believe what you type...

this isnt a bad call like "non-holding". this is a video review two days later to determine the potential harm that could have been done to a player. i cant believe you would even try to compare the two.
you're mixing two arguments, Angus...
1 - I agree that Fanning should have been punished... I've said what he did was "wrong" all along... however, Slive didn't really "help" Alabama by failing to suspend a 4th team player though...
2 - I don't believe the SEC and Mike Slive conspire and go out of their way to penalize non-Bama teams... or to help Alabama with RE to officiating... that's why I brought up the other examples... all teams get "robbed" at one time or another...
I certainly wasn't defending Fanning's actions...

no dude. you were the one that compared them in the post that i responded to. you asked "where was the SEC in bama's dark days". then you proceeded to list instances where you felt the sec wasnt looking out for bama.
sorry if my post was confusing... I'll clarify:
1- Fanning should be punished and/or suspended, IMO... the fact is, the SEC's failure to do so does not appreciably "help" Alabama.
2- Bama gets robbed by bad officiating just like the other programs...
3- it's bad to put your balls on a dude that's passed out.
