Actually, my exact quote was:

How is the point invalid? Name a single star player that the Gators have had since Tebow/Meyer departed. You can't.

There is no next question. Florida's record as of late speaks for itself.

Okay, here is my point: What player of importance remained? A whole bunch of good players left and no good players replaced them. Gator fans said there would be life after Meyer and Tebow, so where is it?

And he's gone too.

Obviously not, but do you ever see actual people (not the people on TV) talk about how great Notre Dame looks from year to year? They've remained in the public consciousness despite not having won much of importance since the 1980s. Every year you see them get ranked highly and every year you see them fail to live up

And none of those years of success have come after Tebow and Meyer left, so what's your point?

I have never said that Goodell is the solely to blame for this (and I agreed with your initial post on that point), so why did you argue that to begin with? Just for kicks?

Uh, did I say anything about anyone being the most winning team over the past few decades? The fact remains that after Tebow and Meyer left, the team started to suck. They didn't even make a bowl last year, if I recall.

Apparently not, since they've been putrid since they left.

Huh. It's almost like Florida had a really great coach/quarterback duo, and once they both left the team went downhill. But that can't be the case because Gator fans assured me that there was more to them than Tebow and Meyer.

Does the wall seem ridiculously close to the field, or is that just my imagination?

Gee, I'm really sorry that poor old Roger Goodell, the man who is in charge of handing down punishment for players in the NFL, had no clue that people might get angry when someone knocks out a woman and only gets suspended for two games. You are arguing that he is not responsible for facing the fallout for the

Well, for instance, you agree that it's ridiculous that players in the past got off lightly for domestic violence, and then you say it's absurd that people are upset that players get off lightly for domestic violence. Is it only absurd when other people get upset about it?

I think everyone takes Notre Dame's rankings with a grain of salt.

Uh, so? A two game suspension for domestic violence is obviously absurdly lenient. What do you want people to do? Travel back in time and be upset at it back then? We're not talking about past domestic violence punishments, we're talking about the Ray Rice decision, which was wrong.

And yet here you are saying that Roger Goodell should not be criticized for giving a two game punishment. I really don't understand the point you're trying to make. You're contradicting yourself at every point possible. It doesn't matter if no one got upset about it before (which is not true; it's just that no one

I'm sure Auburn fans wish they could have played USC back in 2004. That would have been a phenomenal game.

If you're against the doubling of the suspension, then I agree, it should have been a full game to begin with. FSU quite obviously wanted to get their star player back on the field quickly, and after complaints that the punishment was too light, they made it a full game. It most likely is related to the NFL's troubles

I've never said it was an either/or thing. I just happen to think that FSU actually made the correct move in suspending him for being a callous prick with no self awareness. It's a shame that he was never punished for his sexual assault, or for stealing from that grocery store, or for any of the other stupid shit that
