Standards, Part Three

 Or "Part Infinity," apparently.

Hate to bang yet again on those basketball folks at Alabama, but, gee, they make it so easy. They stick their face out there and it keeps running into my fist.

Hear what happened yesterday?

At No. 2 'Bama's first home game since star freshman Brandon Miller did not get so much as a talking-to for helping facilitate capital murder, he got a rousing ovation from the 'Bama crowd. Then a teammate jokingly patted him down (for a gun, get it?) as he was introduced.

Making light of a young mother's murder. What a great idea.

In fairness, 'Bama coach Nate Oats kinda-sorta decried the patting-down thing in the postgame (The Crimson Tide, with Miller scoring 24 points, beat Arkansas 86-83). He said it was "inappropriate" and would not happen again.

Inappropriate?

Try, "Complete bulls***", Coach. Also try, "The player involved will no longer be part of our program.”

Oats didn't say either of those things, of course. I mean, it's almost March, for cryin' out loud.

Priorities, you know.
