Parrish Alford & OM Damage Control

[BiscuitEater]

While Parrish has always been a rebel proponent, his latest scribe on the DJ is beyond laughable and is totally meant to mollify the base. He found a Mississippi lawyer that says that Tunsil now can sue the hacker and recover ~$16M + punitive damages. Hey, this is great news for Tunsil .. right?

This 'feel good' kind of crap story completely disregards the 'real world' .. 1.) Ole Miss will NEVER allow Tunsil to be in court under oath .. period 2.) Tunsil is smart enough to know that the hacker HAS MORE DAMAGING information 3.) Despite what Chuck and Yancy have published, Tunsil has NOT filed ANY complaint with ANYONE 4.) Hacker (AKA .. Agent, Financial Manager, Runner) had an 'understanding' with Tunsil and was jilted for Sexton. He 'repaid' LT by publishing damaging info to both Tunsil AND Ole Miss. While I don't have any clue 'who' this guy is, LT fully understands he will NEVER get ANY repayment on his losses, no matter what the court decides.

That's about the most Ole Miss name ever.

You could have stopped at #1. But you didn't. That's fine with me.

 

[tatedog]

Pleeeease oh pleeease Mr. Alford, don't have LT sue his illegal agent for leaking a video of him smoking pot. ANYTHING BUT THAT OH PLEEEASE!!

 

[ShrubDog]

When Biscuit posts.... I read.

I will say again, I wouldn't be surprised if the ultimate decision to bring this to court is out of Tunsil's control.

 

[PBRME]

They keep forgetting that Tunsil is on video, now available to any law enforcement agency, partaking in illegal activities. While he may be able to sue, it also looks like grounds for a police investigation into said illegal activity. While we're at it they may as well investigate RK for his bong smoking picture.

I like how they think the hacker is the story here. Forget the exchange of money between asst AD's and coaches that specialize in recruiting to players. Someone was hacked dammit! Justice must be served!!!!!

 

[patdog]

That's just part of the spin. They want to deflect attention from the texts, so they're talking about the hacker nonstop.

What control does um have over Tunsil anymore?

none.

 

[codeDawg]

Oh, please sue the hacker. Please, please, please. That case would be pure gold and would in no way benefit Ole Miss.

 

[msudawglb]

Ok...so we know Tunsil and Ole Miss will not sue because of what might come out. Sexton would lose money in both situations.

But what would be funny is if Tunsil's stepdad who is already suing Tunsil...brought up Tunsil's potential worth as a 6th or 7th draft pick. Then the argument would have to be made that he should have been a 6th pick until the damning evidence came out. Possibly opening the door for questions to Tunsil regarding his recruitment.

Jimmy Sexton will be the proponent for Ole Miss on this one. He has to protect Freeze. The hacker really got the best of all of them. He financially hurt Sexton and Tunsil. He also hurt the person, Freeze, who hooked Sexton up with Tunsil. Then he has Sexton and Freeze to work the line with Tunsil to just forget it and move on. Turn the other cheek.

 

[Shmuley]

This whole situation is a case study in why professionals are required to avoid conflicts of interest. One sees what can happen a "representative" (read agent) is not forced to avoid conflicts between clients.

 

[basedawg]

Sexton may or may not protect Freeze, it depends on what's coming down from the Ncaa, if he gets show case, Sexton will move on and get another check from another wanna be Freeze.

I suppose Tunsil could sue the guy (anybody can file suit against anybody else) but it'd almost certainly be tossed out. There's no way of knowing, or proving, that what the hacker did actually caused Tunsil to be taken later in the draft. Sure, he was expected to go a lot earlier (and therefore get a lot more $$) but there was no guarantee. It wasn't a done deal until his name was announced.

 

[fishwater99]

He might make more money on Tunsil than Freeze..

Well, yeah, he was on video smoking something. But there's no way of knowing what it was. We know what it probably was, but it could have been water vapor for all we really know. I don't see any way Tunsil could be prosecuted ... investigated, yes, and then prosecuted ... from just the video.

 

[PBRME]

People have been prosecuted for much less. Just having paraphernalia can get you put in jail.

Yeah, that's true and I forgot that point, but I don't think it would be as serious as actually smoking weed. I could be wrong though ... I haven't watched Weediquette on Viceland (and don't intend to).

 

[coach66]

I'll say this about Parrish, he's a good rebel but

A poor journalist but I think he is fine with that
and so am I.

 

[HD6]

Correct. In 3 years if Tunsil is as good as he should be, a franchise left tackle, that could be a 100 million dollar deal easy. Freeze would have to work 20 years to get that much. Look at Tyron Smith from Dallas, he's in year one of a 8 year $97 million dollar deal. No college coach will ever put that kind of coin in the coffers.

 

[dawgdr]

How does he even claim to be a journalist? Or does he?
