Cheatey Petey & The Trogans Become A National Joke

Many thanks to Bruin805 for locating the screenshot of the real Cheatey Petey "response" to the NCAA:

It looks like Cheatey Petey has become a national joke in the NFL. Mike Florio, one of the most prominent commentators in the NFL wrote yesterday that Cheatey should lose his job:

As to Carroll, he should lose his current job. Of course, he won't; Seattle Seahawks president Tod Leiweke hired Carroll at a time when Leiweke knew or with the exercise of due diligence should have known that Carroll presided over a program poised to be slapped silly by the NCAA. And if the Seahawks had no qualms about it then, they should have none now.

Still, as a practical matter Carroll's grace period just shrank. Whatever "plan" previously applied to him — five years, three years, two — the window necessarily shrank, because Carroll's collegiate career lost much of its luster.

And Carroll can disagree all he wants with the findings or the outcome, blaming everyone and anyone but himself for the damage done to the Trojans program. Folks who get it know that Carroll's hands carry a thick veneer of grime. And they in turn recognize that justice won't truly be served until the only coaching Carroll ever does entails holding an Xbox controller.

Florio also wrote that Reggie Bush should be stripped off his Heisman trophy.

Not only the Trogans got deservedly penalized (although arguably not harsh enough) by the NCAA, it looks like their dumb, tone deaf bluster like what we heard from Carroll, has cemented their status as a national joke. Cheat forever Petey.

GO BRUINS.

LOL!

That cheerleader is classic. Florio’s article is money. People without brains think he’s a “Humanitarian” but we all those he is a low life scumbag.

Priceless!!

Too bad he can’t pay his NFL player $uc money. If that was the case the chickenhawks may actually compete! A truly wonderful day to be a BRUIN!!!

Have you guys noticed this?

From page 3 of the report in regards to the duty of the university to monitor for compliance: “They must commit comparable resources to detect violations and monitor conduct with a realistic understanding and appraisal of what that effort entails, and what it will cost. In this regard, and particularly during the time of the football violations, the institution fell far short. In fact, the compliance director at the time (”former compliance director") reported that there were only two compliance staff members at the institution for most of his tenure and it was “just myself for a couple of months.”

Are they saying that SC had just one compliance officer for all sports at one point and only two at other times? I’ve always been under the impression at large universities will have at least one or two compliance officers for each major sport. Incredible.

I may work with the Waves, but I'm still a Bruin!

If Splaschme wasn't such a douche for other stuff

I would have believed his comments as sincere in today’s Slimes article about USC blaming themselves.

So if/when Chetey gets fired.....

Will the Seahawks have grounds not to pay him the remainder of his contract due to the fact that he was hired in part due to his college record which is now been proven fradulent??

Also speaking of not paying the remainder of contracts, do the Raiders now have the grounds not to pay lame kiffen?

I think I’m the one person on this site who’s not a lawyer, but I would love to see Cheatey flame out in the NFL again and then not get paid because he is a fraud.

Question - Trogan?

Not really related to the main point, but where does the term ‘Trogan’ come from? I’ve noticed that it’s really taken off, but I didn’t quite notice when/where/how this happened. Curious, mostly. There’s got to be a story (that the search tool isn’t yielding).
