i absolutely agree with phil on this. its total b.s. (and i'm a lawyer).

the s.e.c. fined him $10,000 a few years ago when he took a pass rather than submit himself and the league to this kind of non-sense. in fairness, they ought to refund every dime. furthermore, if they can't restrain themselves in bama, the s.e.c. ought to consider moving the event to a civilized venue like nashville or atlanta.

When the Alabama football team comes to town next, the KPD should pull over the Alabama bus after an "anonymous" tip led them to believe that Bama players are in possession of illegal substances (remember they like the crack). When Saban calls bs and objects, he should be taken in to custody for disorderly conduct (after all there is a precedent in knoxville for being arrested for yelling and waiving ones arms). He can be put in a special cell with other men who like excessive hair gel.

Again, I see no problem with Phillip Fulmer's explanation. His credibility shouldn't be questioned based on the statements of someone that's a member of the perhaps the most hated and least trusted profession in America (sorry arkyvol).

If Phillip Fulmer is telling the truth as I believe he is, what other way could he have handled it? If he honestly didn't know what he had been given he has no other explanation, but that's not good enough for some people.

The whole sham is a rogue Alabama booster and his team of attorneys were able to steal UT's thunder on media day. Instead of talking about the team and outlook on the season most of the stuff about UT today has been about this incident. It's a crying shame some cheater has been able to pull this stunt off.

Mr. Adams. It seems you are saying that Phil is lying. You admit that you were not at the location where the event took place. What evidence do you have to show that Fulmer did not know what the paper was immediately after he got it. Your arrogance is your only evidence. Mr. Adams you yourself have no credibility. Many Vol Fans have over and over expressed that you leave the paper and the state because of your disdain for this program.

The SPORTS PAGE SHARKS circled in the water looking for blood. They got none,though they wasted most of the last hour and one half of the program. Adams being the BOSS "sports pager"; was at first gracefully doubtful of the validity of the story. Hooker's take on the other hand was first to doubt what Fulmer said and then he joined his BOSS in the Hoax theory. I can only surmise what both REALLY were thinking.
I guess Adams article today is less accusatory than it might have been judging from his track record and how much he dislikes Fulmer. Maybe this is calculated to get him back to where he can accuse and criticize later and he can refer to this article and it's mild insinuation that Fulmer was lying.
Of course if Fulmer was lying, then Bud Ford was lying also and seriously doubt that!

Tuscaloosa John then takes him to task for not stopping what he was doing to immediately read it. In today's world, it could have been anything on it or in the envelope!

I attended it a couple of times a few years ago, since I lived close by at the time, and I could walk around the Wynrey Hotel like I owned the place. You could walk right up to any coach or player and listen to the interview. Never saw security. No one seemed to know what the heck was going on. Fulmer is braver than we give him credit!

What some people may not realize is that while we, the Vol faithful are less than enthused with the breach of journalistic ethics set forth by John
Adams, he is basking in all the attention it has garnered. He is loving it. When he is contacted by other sports writers from around the country, he has a good laugh and probably tells them that he is stirring up the rednecks and selling papers while he is doing it. Believe me, at this point he thinks he is the king of the hill. It's too easy to see that there is no accident that he is the one writing the column this morning. The tragic irony is that the brass at Scripps Howard won't touch this, because if they tried to make this right in whatever manner would be appropriate, they would be "caving in" to the masses. Well, if you don't see the dagger in this morning's article, you don't get it. Was it even necessary to write it and somehow make Coach Fulmer look bad? I don't think so. there are hard working people at Scripps Howard. There are people to think they are bigger and better than the people they serve. One of these premises is at work here. If you think we are just a bunch of fools, you are wrong. You work for us. Remember that. We certainly will....Either repent and admit you are human, or get out of Dodge......Your choice.

Adams is the scourge of society. He talks about CPF getting off easy as to Alabama's probation. How do you compare the two. Let's see: CFP didn't go to media days. Alabama lied, cheated, paid players and for years in Memphis bought players. What a cheap shot to compare the two.
Next: Adams again wants to bring CPF's credibility in to question for a bouched job of serving a subpoena. Adams is the one who's credibility is in question because he will take a grooup of "red neck" lawyers who want to gain status amoung the Alabama fans by serving CPF and add credibility to them when they should be disbarred for such a trivial suit. God forbid that a used car dealer's character should be in question.
Adams sure must hate CPF to stoop to such an all time low. Maybe he is just one step above a used car salesman.

I think we are all looking at this wrong.

I don't see how Alabama or its fans benefit from these events at all. Remember Alabama jettisoned this booster a long time ago because he had caused them a lot of trouble.

My guess is that this guy is as upset with Alabama as he is with the NCAA. I am not sure that he is all that upset with Fulmer, but as a disgruntled fan, there certainly is no love lost.

Personally, I hope Fulmer is deposed. And I hope Spurrier is also because he was probably the first one to turn them in - according to Spurrier. I means all the deposition will do is highlight Bama's infractions. All Fulmer and Spurrier did was follow the rules which require them to report suspected infractions.

But here is one last thing that I need help from you guys.

Didn't SABAN also report Bama at the time? That is at least my recollection. If it is true, well wouldn't that be fine kettle of fish?

I don't see anything to blow up about in this article. Actually pretty unbiased. If anything, the article (and the whole situation for that matter) reflects the sad nature of Alabama and the people that support the program.

Why in the world would: A. Anyone have to serve him on media day? It wasn't like they needed to secretly wait for him not knowing where he could be found B. The person serving the subpeona come up to Fulmer and throw it on his lap and leave? It isn't like he needed to pretend he was delivering a pizza to serve him. C. Someone have to try and stake out a steak joint (excuse the pun) to try and "nab" Fulmer? Again, YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS.

Sounds to me like this whole event is childish. It also seems like the people serving Fulmer were trying to put him in a difficult situation. Fine. But IMO, this just makes Alabama folks look like little children.

Bottom line, if you feel CPF "told on you" then fine. But if you are so worried...then don't break the rules and you won't have to.

While most SEC fans are trying to catch a few press conferences on their teams and opponents, Tennessee and Bama are engaged in some sort of weird drunken' ho down.

DC,

How do you figure? Do the research and understand the history here before you make comments like you just did. UT isn't the side that is up in arms. Quite the opposite I might add.

Bama folks are angry because they think Fulmer is to blame for their programs demise. They are so upset, that they will stoop to just about anything to try and pee on UT's tree any chance they get.

I think my favorite example of childish antics was the UT/Bama game 2 years ago when our band was on the field playing still and the bama kicker came out and was kicking field goals before the show had ended. And to end the day, bama fan's cheered loudly when one of our players went down with an injury.

Never in my life had I heard a stadium curse out another school in unison...but the words f@#k you bama had to be heard as far as away as Kingston Pk.

Read it and weep.......
I had a chance to talk to Slive not long after Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer was hit with a subpoena as he walked into the Wynfrey Hotel. The subpoena called on Fulmer to give a deposition in a lawsuit by a former Alabama booster against the NCAA. It set off a media frenzy that dominated the second day of the meetings, which is what it was designed to do.

To say that the commissioner was miffed would be an understatement. Here’s why:

This is just the kind of knucklehead stuff that Slive has been trying to get rid of in this league since he became commissioner in 2002. There are mechanisms in place to better deal with rules breaking by conference members. There are specific procedures in place when one school thinks another is cheating. This whole episode started years ago because an Alabama booster believed Fulmer was working with the NCAA in its investigation of Alabama. Now a coach can’t do that. There is a chain of command that he has to follow. In fact, it became known as “the Phillip Fulmer rule.”

And once more he was saved from having to say anything nice about the Vol FB team. Mr. Adams, hate Fulmer all you want, I don't care. But even in hating the coach, you can offer positive stories on the team. People who hate the president don't feel the need to hate the country too. It's pointless. Really?

H1Gator: Soooo you been talking to Slive. Sorry to hear he's miffed. Did you get him calmed down? Maybe give him some props an that Plus 1 plan. Be sure to keep us posted. We're all real interested in what goes on the Commish's office.

pd: I doubt Phil spends much time in bed. Too busy. Too motivated to get back on top of that pile. And it's a steeper climb than it was back in 98'.

Im glad that CPF is madder than heck. I would lay odds that Satan and his bunch will not have a pleasant trip to K-Town this year.
The subpoena is pure harrASSment, even their legal system must be redneck down there. As far as JA goes, I need some more information on why he says CPF's credibility was at stake in any way over this. Give me a freakin break, like he's going to stop right in the middle of all that hoopalah and read a freakin paper that somebody tosses him. JEEZ Adams, give the man a break when he deserves one.

DC, please explian how this is a UT/bama ho down. UT and CPF are like innocent bystanders in a redneck bammer drive-by. THIS HAPPENED OVER FOUR YEARS AGO. Even a gator homer ought to be able to see through this BS.

How be you guys? Im an Aubbie...see you on the plains this fall. Anyway, the SEC media days will get moved to Atlanta, Nville most definitely. I wish they would just drop the whole thing. Its old news and over with. I dont know if Phil was dishonest..he may have been when saying he hadnt seen a subpoena but he knew what it was. But thats not important. In this case the NCAA would have to admit of incompetence in handling the investigation as far as the "phil" factor ...but NCAA wont admit anything which is why it should be dropped. We all know bammer is guilty with Means...but the world may never know what really went down. What do you guys think. But the reality or perception of it is..that Phil lied bout certain things in the Bama case and some wont ever let it go.

I wonder how many more subpoenas Phil will receive. If he coaches 4 yrs...guess that means everytime he comes to our great state of used car salesmen

tigermanic44 - good view- Many on here don't realize how Phil is viewed around the conference. I used to live in Ga. Whew!

I feel the entire episode is equivalent to-Slingblade, "Hmmmm, taters,".......

Why not supoena every coach 2 days before they're scheduled to play your team. Why not supoena the star quarterback or running back the day of the game? What total nonsense.
