Fanblogs.com: Ray Maualuga gets busy with Erin Andrews

    Typical classless behaviour from a typically classless team.
  • Bama_DevilDog · 11 months ago
    Get a life, its just a College Kid having fun.
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    You get a life. He was "having fun" at her expense. If you think it would still be funny if that was your sister, mother, daughter, girlfriend, wife, etc., then you're as classless as he is.

    Some people just have no idea what kind of behavior is acceptable, and all they care about is themselves. This act is the perfect epitome of the "me" culture that those with common sense have to endure from people like Maualuga today.

    Disgusting.

    Y'know, I'm usually the last guy to be Butros Butros Ghali here on FanBlogs, but I have to say that I see where both of you are coming from.

    We've all chuckled at kids and adults doing silly things like that. Then again, Tom's right. If someone did that behind my woman, or my mother, I'd be asking them to apologize or attempting to gouge their eyes out through that helmet.

    I guess I'm sort've sitting on the fence here. I laughed at it. Thought it was priceless, as a matter of fact. Then again, I would've been pretty p!ssed off at old Ray had it been someone I cared about.

    Geezus, I'm getting old, aren't I?
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    I will say that I'd love to hope this was a case where he doesn't always make poor decisions like that. I'd like to give the guy the benefit of the doubt, but this was out in the open in front of a lot of people.

    I'll chalk this up as being a very bad choice on his part.
  • Regan · 11 months ago
    Agree. If I were given a no-bodyguards shot at Erin Andrews, I would at least get a hug and a number out of it.
  • Bama_DevilDog · 11 months ago
    Your generalization of entire team and organization has no substance. I think the motive behind your accusation is the tail whipping USC put on your Buckeyes.

    The things student athletes across this country do for communities should not be overlooked. USC is a great program with great role models throughout the NFL ex. Carson Palmer, Reggie Bush, Steve Smith. I could call OSU classless because of Maurcie Clarett. Yet, his actions do not define Ohio State.

    Come on man, I can agree that it wasn't the best thing to do. But, to rip an entire program.
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    WRONG. I didn't rip the program, I ripped on Mauagula and the "me" society. FAIL.
  • Bama_DevilDog · 11 months ago
    Fail? You obviously were agreeing with "typical classless behaviour from a typically classless team." The post I responded to.
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    WRONG. And BULLSHIT. You are pulling that out of thin air. I responded to YOU. Yes, FAIL. Now, DOUBLE FAIL.
  • Bama_DevilDog · 11 months ago
    Out of thin air. I pretty sure that's the post I responded to from UNBIASED.

    But Whatever dude, Fail You!
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    I don't give a shit who you responded to, I don't agree with blaming the entire program. I responded to YOU. NOT the other guy.
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    I don't give a shit what the other guy said, I responded to YOU and YOUR COMMENT ONLY. You are ASSUMING too much. I disagree with blaming the entire program, too. That's coming from the horse's mouth. You disagree with me again, and you're calling me a liar. I will not take kindly to that, my friend.

    TRIPLE FAIL.
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    Dude, you are reading WAY too much into my comment. This is coming from the horse's mouth. I'm not responding to the other guy, I'm responding to YOU. If you continue with this line of thinking anymore, you're calling me a liar. I will not take kindly to that, and right now, I'm not in the f'ing mood.

    I'm not responding to UNBIASED, I'm responding to YOU. I don't give a shit what he says about the issue, I'm NOT blaming the program. You are assuming I agree with him, and I'm telling you I don't.

    TRIPLE F'ING FAIL.
  • BamaBorn · 11 months ago
    Sorry about the Buckeyes. I was pulling for them.

    You have come upon a complete idiot and there is no way that you can reason with this child. When all else fails he will just resort to saying "just because". Remember at his age he doesn't have to be logical.
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    Thanks, BamaBorn. At least they didn't get blown out, but I'm very pissed off at Heacock right now (DC). With 20 seconds left and a 4 point lead, he doesn't defend the goal line and leaves safety Anderson Russell on an island to make a game saving tackle.

    I cannot tell you how crushing this was. The game was in hand, and it was gone in a heartbeat. I'm hating life right now.

    Yeah, I know, he's trying to save face by attempting to put words in my mouth.

    If he comes back with another comment in effect calling me a liar, I'll be taking my gloves off, smack the punk in the face with them, and demand a duel to defend my honor.
  • Bama_DevilDog · 11 months ago
    I apologize for the misunderstanding. My first post was meant towards unbiased. And I made the mistake of arguing my problem with UNBIASED response with you. I'm sorry.
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    Apology accepted. Thank you, sir. And I need to apologize to you for being harsh because I was unhappy with the outcome of the game last night, and taking it out on you a bit. That wasn't fair to you. Truce?
  • Bama_DevilDog · 11 months ago
    Truce.
  • Bama_DevilDog · 11 months ago
    BamaBorn,

    What does my age have to do with anything? Does my age make me ignorant?
  • BamaBorn · 11 months ago
    Dude it sounds like you might be looking for a fight. Did I ask you your age?
  • Bama_DevilDog · 11 months ago
    "You have come upon a complete idiot and there is no way that you can reason with this child. When all else fails he will just resort to saying "just because". Remember at his age he doesn't have to be logical."

    You stated this about me.
  • BamaBorn · 11 months ago
    Agreed . . . and your point is?
  • Cobia · 11 months ago
    I agree with you, it's not a big deal at all. Kid's do stuff like this all the time.
  • BamaBorn · 11 months ago
    How OLD are you?
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    No doubt.

    GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!! BEAT THE LONGHORNS!!!!!!!!
  • Cobia · 11 months ago
    I'm 21. How old are you?
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    Well, that's obvious. Immature thinking from even a 21 year old. I know 13 year-olds that know better than that.
  • Cobia · 11 months ago
    I never endorsed the actions of Ray Maualuga, in fact I think what he did in that video was mildly inappropriate. I find it very sad that you would try and discredit my "opinion" based on my age. I mean would my arguement be more sound if I was eighty? It seems to me that you should be thinking more about whether or not you're in touch with today's times, than using age as a fulcrum in your banter. Moreover I think there are much worse things in this world then a college football player's sideline shenanigans. P.S. TigerEducated's post made the most sense in my opinion.
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    Nice cop out. Today's times...yesterday's times...tomorrow's times...it doesn't matter. The behavior was INAPPROPRIATE. The fact is, 13 year-olds know better than to have fun at someone else's expense, especially in such a vulgar fashion. That's a fairly damning statement, so if you can live with that...more power to you.
  • Cobia · 11 months ago
    Don't get me wrong, I'm not one to do something like that, and I believe a lot in chivalry and having respect for women. However I still don't believe his actions as distasteful as they may be are warrant him to be named classless.
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    Fair enough. And here is the second comment I made shortly after my first reaction after watching the video. I'm copying and pasting from my comment above:

    "I will say that I'd love to hope this was a case where he doesn't always make poor decisions like that. I'd like to give the guy the benefit of the doubt, but this was out in the open in front of a lot of people.

    I'll chalk this up as being a very bad choice on his part.


    The behavior was classless. Perhaps he rarely makes these types of decisions...but I don't think that's very likely. Only he knows, but it isn't a very good impression to leave someone when you make a choice like this in front of so many people. The impression given is that he makes the decision to act this way a majority of the time.

    Once again, this is an example of the "me society" that we all have to endure nowadays. I sure as hell won't be teaching my son to act that way towards women, let alone anyone else.
  • Cobia · 11 months ago
    Good post.
  • BamaBorn · 11 months ago
    62
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    No way. I'd have never guessed. 42 here.
  • BamaBorn · 11 months ago
    I've been reading some of your blog. Much respect dude.
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    Thanks! Feel free to comment there anytime.
  • Bevo_Boy · 11 months ago
    No, this is a college kid having fun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXp2ruZoxK8
    Although I should mention this, there is some cussing in the video. Do not watch if you have a problem with that or have children in the room that you don't want to hear that language.
  • Regan · 11 months ago
    HEY!

    I'D CALLED DIBS!

    Regan is displeased....
  • Zac · 11 months ago
    WAT is wrong with you, dude!?! Duz a guinzo have to tell you everything? Get that helmate off! Take that lovely in your arms, and plant a big, sloppy, wet one on that thar wench. Oh, and remember NOT to drop her on her ass when you're done, ya lummox. Man! Love really is wasted on the young.
  • TigerEducated · 11 months ago
    Am I the only one that cringed while reading this post....yet had to read it all the way to the end?

    I don't know whether to laugh, or go take a shower after reading this one...

    LOL, Zac...
  • The_Central_Scrutinizer · 11 months ago
    Heh. At least Joe Namath was snot-slingin' drunk when he got his 15 seconds of shame.

    Think Sports Media might give Maualuga's every minor episode extra attention now?
  • Mr2Bits · 11 months ago
    Video is no more but Erin and I have hooked up numerous times....don't think she knows it though.

  • GeauxTigers0107 · 11 months ago
    Tasteless. Performing a degrading act, behind her back no less, just to get a laugh at her expense. A real man.

    Tom_Blogical, your Ohio State Bukeyes have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. You guys had a good season and have no reason to hang your heads this year. One point different and you would have been in the Mythical National Championship.

    To the Alabama fans: you also had a fantastic season. Two plays differently you would have played for the MNC. And trust me, Bama would have been ready for the MNC game.
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    "One point different and you would have been in the Mythical National Championship."

    I appreciate the sentiment, but I think you have OSU confused with PSU. :-)
  • Unbiased · 11 months ago
    um, yeah.

    <shuts up>

    LOL. See ya next year.
  • Tom_Blogical · 11 months ago
    No problem. It's late...or early...and I've polished off an entire bottle of Southern Comfort. Tomorrow will not be pretty. G'night.
  • Kevin @ Fanblogs · 11 months ago
  • TheMayor · 11 months ago
    ....and ESPN says they "appreciate the apology"...yet no comment from Ms. Andrews or her Father. 30 years ago, I would probably have thought it funny. Today with a 29 year old daughter trying to make it in the corporate world...not so funny.

    If it was an UO player I would be very upset at this classless act...but then I don't expect the same from the Boys of Troy. Typical jock low brow humor. Would this be tolerated at your Alma Mata? Think about it if you were the AD, with a daughter(s)...how would you respond? Would you tell her mother to "get over it?"
  • GeauxTigers0107 · 11 months ago
    If he can do the act in public, he should have the nads to apologize in public. It strikes me as someone from USC's PR dept trying to cover his arse.

  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 11 months ago
    'Public' makes it an even more blown out of proportion incident than it was. It says he spoke to her personally, so that's enough nads for me.

    I don't see the big deal. I've seen things a lot more vulgar than that. He was just being cute.

    LA Times: Lighten up, Francis...
  • GeauxTigers0107 · 11 months ago
    Well you say it was blown out of proportion, which is to say that it was an innocent act of "dancing" which shouldn't have warranted the attention it's gotten.

    But the La Times is the one who removed the video because "the video is not appropriate to the Times principles and standards". I take that to mean it was more than just dancing. You and I both know he was acting like he was......what's the politically correct statement here....."hitting it". Apparently they do see the big deal.

    Ah well....at least he allegedly spoke to her and apologized. I would love to hear her take on it though. Then again, she may have just laughed it off too.

  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 11 months ago
    Oh, I don't dispute the intent of the act. I'm just saying that he did it as respectful as possible, given the intent. Much more respectful than say I would, if I came up behind her in a bar in Atlanta and my friends were watching me...

    I probably would do a spanking gesture or something, knowing me...

    Just kidding!!!!

    Yes, not funny. Disrespectful vulgar toad. I would never do that and he is NOT a kid. And any kid that does that needs to be punched in the face by his parents.
  • badgerballer · 11 months ago
    I know I'm late to this thread - but this is a class-less, taste-less, gut-less move. Any time, ANY TIME anyone makes fun of another person *literally* behind that person's back,....they are useless, weak, fools. Grow some nads and pull that crap in front, not behind - when the person who is the object of your joke doesn't even know you're there - and then maybe you'll get a yuck from me. Maybe. But the behind the back stuff just categorized you as beneath contempt.

    But that's just me.
