Despite what our short-lived interloper with the weird name posted, the press releases by LSU itself said that the suspension was permanent... Now, if they reverse, the flak will be mega...

I have never known you to be wrong, ever.
He & daddy must not be able to face reality & ESPN is stirring the pot. No pun intended

It is so sad to me when kids just throw their future out the window. I hope he gets his life together.

Tyrann Mathieu: Pressure led to use

Mathieu Devastated After Missing Season

Former LSU star Tyrann Mathieu opens up about missing a season of football and his marijuana use.

Boca Raton, Florida -- Former LSU cornerback Tyrann Mathieu says an October arrest for possession of marijuana is what enabled him to finally become honest with himself and turn a corner in his life.

Mathieu, who has been training for the NFL draft at a facility not far from where Monday's Discover BCS National Championship will be played, spoke with ESPN about his drug problem, self discovery and hitting rock bottom.


"Sitting in that jail cell, it clicked," an emotional Mathieu said. "Looking at those people, just staring at me. 'You don't belong in here.' They wanted to come through the jail cell and get me. I'm scared now. Because it's reality now. I don't ever want to feel like this again. I'm not going to feel like this again."


Hopefully, this young man has learned a lesson and be successful in life. Likely, he still has NFL potential, if he can stay on the right course.

Re: Tyrann Mathieu: Pressure led to use

i saw the piece live this morning. I'm one who hopes he turns things around and succeed however he needs to start showing as opposed to saying what he hopes to do.

I saw his interview last night and while I am definitely hoping he can get his life together and be successful, I found the interview to be full of "forced emotion." I didn't buy it.

Me too. While he may be sincere, I felt this was a PR move in preparation for the combine and the player interviews. His contrition is mandatory if he wants to find himself on a NFL roster. His build and skill at DB are marginal right now at that level.

It is difficult to reach a conclusion on him from reading that article, especially since it's been less than three months since his arrest. The warning signs are in his discussion of having his old drug friends continue calling him on his cell phone, and he's making excuses for not hanging out with them.

Hope he has his life in order, and time will tell.

Can't agree with you Belle. You can't fake the lips quivering. He just isn't that good of an actor.
