    Tomcat,

    That's hysterical. My cigar shop doesn't carry those.

    I gave Mike Bellotti one of my favorites, a Paul Garmirian (PG) cigar in Tucson 10 years ago before a Duck/Wildcat game. No word on whether or not he liked it.

    Thats cool Mr.Mayor, I really dont much about cigars I'll have to try one someday
    Do you know Mike Price? Does he smoke the same?
    Thanks Tomcat
  • TheMayor · 1 year ago
    I don't know Coach Price or if he even smokes cigars. My guess would be that as recreational golfer and a fan of exotic dancing, that he would indeed enjoy a good cigar now and then.

    Come on, TE. I don't want to be in a position to defend Alabama, but I find it impossible to believe that any coach would condone that type of activity from any player and would fall anywhere short of turning him into the authorities immediately.

    However, I do NOT doubt Jimmy Sexton's ability to somehow try to spin this into some sort of raise for Saban...
  • TigerEducated · 1 year ago
    Saban sends out feelers YEARLY....Don't doubt for an instant he doesn't...The one constant about Saban is that he is ALWAYS looking around for the next "bigger, better" deal, and the sooner 'Bama realizes that, the better....

    Oh, and BTW-it will come out that this John's kid has been known to have been peddling pit bulls and using his likeness for some time...Lots of 'Bama fans knew he was doing it, and it had even made its way onto the net and message boards...

    This is an NCAA violation, and I saw a GoDaddy link earlier that goes into greater detail...

    Saban's not extorting a raise, he thinks that by the time the dust settles, Johns ain't the only one going down, and 'Bama might be heading down with them due to prior knowledge and inaction...

    Like I said...You heard it here first...
  • "BC" · 1 year ago
    The first part of your post, i completely disagree with, and i think ive already given you my reasons.

    BUT. I think youre spot-on when you say this will turn into a bigger problem than it already is.
    Jimmy Johns was a HUUUGE drug dealer on campus. He was the main supplier of all cocaine at Alabama, and i saw today that Jimmy was starting to rat people out whom he sold to. Even though i think Jimmy distanced himself from most players on the team, i do believe some of them were big customers. If Jimmy were to rat out those players, then this thing could blow up.

    But as far as the NCAA getting involved, i dont think that will happen at ALLL. This is a matter of law, not a matter of breaking football rules.

  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 1 year ago
    Sorry, TE, I just don't think that players getting arrested for multiple felonies at Alabama qualifies as news any more.


    Bah ha hah ha!

  • TigerEducated · 1 year ago
    You heard it here first...

    Got some folks on my site who are friendly with a certain President of the University of Washington who used to be Chancellor here...

    Seems some calls have been to Pullman, WA, to find out about how expendable Mr. Willingham is...

    Jimmy Sexton is at it again...

    Words is that Mr. Jimmy Johns wasn't only selling crack...Not only selling crack on campus...Not only caught with Ecstasy tabs (Psst...Jimmy...Where's the rest of your stash?), but he was ALSO using a website to sell pitbulls, and using his name, and pictures of himself in a University of Alabama uniform, to do just that...

    ALLEGEDLY, the University and many folks around the 'Bama program knew, and said nothing...

    It appears as if some mighty big, mighty fat, mighty serious chickens are going to come home to roost regarding Jimmy Johns and the always infamous "Lack of Institutional Control" worries in Tuscaloser...

    Stay tuned...

    Hi,
    You can't accept this because all the smokers are not expressive. Some are deep thinkers. Others are not so. Mind is what defines the charecters. So the brand of smoking does not dedect the person he is.

    If there's a thread I'm just dying to hijack, it's one on uniform numbers.

    It is written in the fanblogs Code of Hammurabi that there is tacit approval to hijack a uniform thread...

    Anyone got any followers on here yet? I decided to follow Zac just to see how it works, but his attorney served me with a temporary restraining order just this afternoon.

    Hey, it's just a BLOG, Zac... Come on!!!
  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 1 year ago
    Damn! Scooped by TE again! But I couldn't get to the computer in the last two hours!

    Can't say I know a dang thing about stogies, myself. Now, single malt scotch, however...

    I have heard rumors that Mark Mangino can be seen walking around Lawrence, KS smoking a big ol' fat Chipotle burrito.
  • TampaGator · 1 year ago
    You haven't enjoyed a single malt scotch properly, until you've first tempered the palat with a fine cigar.

    Wait...I got that wrong...

    ...temper the palat with the scotch...and enjoy the cigar...

    Either way, the two go together like wine & cheese...cream cheese & caviar...girls and rock & roll...football & beer....sex & cigarretes...blues & smokey bars......orange & blue....you get the picture!


    GO GATORS!!

    To quote Anchorman.... "Scotch, scotch, scotch... I like scotch."
  • hricane23 · 1 year ago
    Tampa,

    My ol' lady has placed a smoking ban on the basement. Actually, she has placed a smoking ban on me, period! So, I'm stuck enjoying the single malt in the traditional plebian manner, that is, without a smoky treat.

    But if I am to understand you correctly, cigars and single malt scotch go together as, say, Gator-fans and jorts?

    Woohoo! That's my first "jorts" reference EVER! Don't touch me... I'm on FIYA!
  • TampaGator · 1 year ago
    hricane23:

    I understand. Now here's my suggestion:

    Ask your ol' lady to lend you your testicles one night, then enjoy a cigar with your
    scotch.

    I'm reminded of a comedian discussing every married man's worst nightmare: The "Johnson" unplugs, and the wife has it.

    Johnsonless Hubby talking to his buddies: "I'll see if she'll let me."
    Now to his wife: "Hey sweetheart, the guys are going out, can I bring it with me? Well, they're all bringing theirs."
    Now back to his buddies: "She didn't go for it, guys."

    I would not wish this on any man, nor the equivalent on any woman.
  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 1 year ago
    I remember that schtick. Someone did it in the mid 80s. But who?
  • hricane23 · 1 year ago
    I was going to come back with something about them being in her mouth. But I changed my mind.

    Then I was going to come back with something about them and your ol' lady, but then, since I don't really know you, or your situation, I changed my mind.

    Then I was going to say something about you, specifically, but I didn't want to suggest that I'd even let you handle them.

    So, my only response is...

    Okay. Thanks for the advice.
  • TampaGator · 1 year ago
    You mean you almost disrespected your own wife...
    ...then almost disrespected mine...
    ...then almost disrespected both of us...

    Probably would've been better off not sharing what you almost did.

    The testicle comment was in jest; you set yourself up so perfectly, I couldn't resist. Nothing personal.

    If you do try the cigar with your scotch, I suggest Romeo y Julieta.

  • Tom_Blogical · 1 year ago
    Hmmmm...so one thread is shut down because politics has nothing to do with football...even though a well-known political name was in the title...then we have another thread about...cigars. Color me confused, but whatever--it's not my blog and I don't really care all that much.

    There is nothing better than a cuban cigar...especially a Montecristo.
  • Kevin @ Fanblogs · 1 year ago
    Paterno could have been blogging about fish/cars/jewelry/Russia and it wouldn't have made a difference, that wasn't the point -- rather what he was doing WHEN he should have been focusing on football. I suspect you realize that.

    This thread... a satirical thread to attempt to assign metaphors to coaches. Sorry.

    Maybe next week we'll have a thread where all we discuss is uniform numbers. Or maybe no threads at all. Who knows? Who cares?
  • Bevo_Boy · 1 year ago
    "Maybe next week we'll have a thread where all we discuss is uniform numbers."

    Put me down for 29
  • Tom_Blogical · 1 year ago
    "I suspect you realize that."

    Yes, you are correct, sir. I just keep thinking, "What did you expect?" with Obama's name in the title. Where else was it going to go?

    "Maybe next week we'll have a thread where all we discuss is uniform numbers. Or maybe no threads at all. Who knows? Who cares?"

    Whatever. Like I said before--"it's not my blog and I don't really care all that much."

    ;-)

    (I should've added emoticon that prior to posting the first comment...but then, I forgot to click "Verify my post" then, too.)
  • Ramblin' Gator · 1 year ago
    Thanks, TB. I had the exact same thought before that thread was shut down. I might have thought that mentioning the name of a politician in the title and content of the blog was an overt invitation to discuss politics. Maybe we'll have "porno" in an upcoming blog just for good measure. :-)

    As you say, not my blog...
  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 1 year ago
    I think it got closed down before it degraded in a hurry, being that politics and football mix as about as well as diesel and bathwater...

    Much to my chagrin and yours as well, RG...
  • Kevin @ Fanblogs · 1 year ago
    Noted. Gotchya down in the not care column. ;-)

    If I were gonna smoke, it would be likely a pipe, something out of Lord Nelson. Years ago I had been introduced to an outstanding pipe tobacco, moist, rich/pleasant aroma, but according to the introducer, every bit as pleasant to smoke. I've been fascinated by many a decent pipe collection, but alas, I have more important things to spend my money on…like football tickets or ESPN Game Plan!!! OH, almost forgot, and a decent computer with which to blog.
  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 1 year ago
    Miles may have to pony up for some Hondurans since he kicked his other smoke connection off the team a few weeks back... Ha!

    Can't believe that the Vest fires up one now and then. Would have thought him to be a pipe smoker...

    Personally, I enjoy a good Lewinsky 6.5 inch when I'm up in our nation's capital. Ha! Beat all you homers to that joke...

    Okay, never have been able to get a good answer on this: bands on or off? I've always taken mine off. I was told early on that only the uninitiated keep the band on...
  • Kevin @ Fanblogs · 1 year ago
    Band off for sure.

    (And -- just so we're clear -- the blog in question is a tongue-in-cheek parody, as is the Fanblogs effort.)
  • TigerEducated · 1 year ago
    Drew Estates Acid Line...

    Kuba Kuba, Corona, & my personal favorite....Mother Earth....Absolutely wonderful to smoke, man...

    Oh, BTW...It looks like Jimmy Johns of Alabama forgoes the Phillies' Blunt and just goes with the CRACK PIPE!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!

    10 Bama players arrested in the last year!
  • gatorhippy · 1 year ago

  • TigerEducated · 1 year ago
    Kevin,

    Jimmy Johns is busted for SELLING CRACK ON CAMPUS at Alabama, and we got a whole day and a half without a mention of it here on Fanblogs?

    C'mon, man...I'm gonna have to dust off my Anderson Cooper mask and "Keep 'Em Honest" here...
  • Kevin @ Fanblogs · 1 year ago
    I was serious when I said I really don't want to police beat reports anymore. Selling crack is borderline exceptional, I agree... but it is Alabama.....
