I think anyone vaguely with a pulse on the social consciousness of today would know that broaching that subject w/r/t Mixon was going to hurt him. Is he wrong necessarily? I don't think so, but freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences of your words. The intersection of violence against women and sports is a hot button issue right now and he didn't use his wits while navigating across it. Heck, it was kind of insulting to me that he compared Sarkisian's second chance after battling with alcohol abuse to Mixon's assault of person.

I'd agree with you on that point, but still RGW, should Brent be gone for saying he's glad Mixon got a second chance, while Stoops and all the Oklahoma people involved get a free pass for giving him one, and thus Brent's chance to comment at all?

He obviously didn't comment on Stoops and company, so that doesn't come into issue with relation to Brent's comments. It would have been interesting to hear what he had to say on that. I'd imagine he thought that was hunky-dory also...

He always annoyed me. But, I do admit he had a distinctive style....the next generation of PBP guys all sound the same to me.

Yeah, I think Brent would've said "Bob and the OU administration have helped so many SO MANY kids alright people? He admits it was a mistake and that is that!"
