Peppers post game interview

Submitted by We are back on
Peppers is the heart of this team and for the guys who said this was planned for him not to play, shame on you, you should feel really bad right now to question Peppers character like that. If Peppers should go to the NFL he should go down as one of Michigan's all time greats, throughout his time here at Michigan all we heard about was how he was the hardest working man everyday, he truly loves Michigan and his teammates.

Ok, you are a former player, you should know what a football brother is more than anyone. I do not know him and have never been in the same room, I must a fan, you should be ashamed of yourself for implying he was my brother. Your football brothers would probably be disappointed in your phrasing. All I know is tha I would be right down there with my guys I've battled with for 3 years. Weird stuff. And you seem a little too sensitive.

Per Pepper's post game interview, Harbaugh wouldn't let him.  He told him to go to the booth "to avoid something mumble mumble".  Sounded like he didn't have a say in where he was.  But he did say that he used the opportunity to help strategy, observation wise, etc...

If you were really just curious, you wouldn't have called it weak sauce earlier in the thread. You had an agenda, it's ok to admit you already made a judgement and wanted to be a dick about it

People that conflate a sport with going to war are a part of the obnoxious culture that makes it increasingly difficult to watch this game. They're a bunch of 18-23 year olds playing a game, they aren't storming the beaches of Normandy and it's disrespectful to use that sort of language.

With you that no sport is war. But I do have to ask...in your comparison, how old do you think the people were that stormed Normandy? I have family that was involved with that and they were that age. Hard to think of the differences in life that some people go thru at certain ages. Anyways, back to your regularly scheduled bashing of that Mike guy^^^^

I don't know why everyone is refuting what you said. There were absolutely people on the blog last night who said that Peppers either faked an injury or was suspended. One idiot even said he was suspended for "punching that osu fan"

If I intimated anything, it was only whether a player could mistakenly run afoul of NCAA restrictions concerning agents, even after pursuing what seems an abundance of caution. That's what I intended in saying "too close to the sun". If that was lost on anyone other than you, I apologize. Analogous situations happen all the time. People who have seemingly and legitimately earned their confidence that they're on the right side of a rule or law only to see it adjudicated opposite to their expectations. People are clearly thinking the explanation coupled with the fact Pep wasn't even on the sidelines supporting his team was weird. I was merely offering an opportunity to discuss it. EDIT: I honestly have no intent to troll the board. If that's how this is being perceived, please delete. As I understand it, NCAA rules regarding agents prohibit student-athletes from having any agreement, verbal or written, for representation either now or in the future. NCAA rules also prohibit student-athletes, their relatives or friends from receiving any benefits from an agent. In the legal world of defined terms (what's a "benefit"?) and over-cautious responses, I thought it could have been an interesting conversation.
