Kiffin The Comedian

"Lovable" Lane Kiffin spoke Wednesday night. It's the first time boy wonder has spoken since being sent to time out by SEC commissioner Mike Slive for calling another SEC school and its head coach cheaters and his wrist slapped by the University of Tennessee for a pair of minor recruiting violations.

Has Kiffin learned his lesson?

"We'll make sure we're aware of how sensitive people are around here," Kiffin told a crowd of UT supporters Wednesday at the Big Orange Tip-Off Club.

Callling a conference rival a cheater tends to fire up the masses. That should have been Kiffin's first clue.

Its all in good natured humor, at least that's how Kiffin is trying to sell to you. He's just having a good time and all those incidents are blown way out of proportion. Yeah... right.

"I like to have fun with some things. The example I can give you is that Steve Spurrier came out the first day I was here and accused me of recruiting without having passed the test. I didn't call the commissioner whining about it." Kiffin said Wednesday night.

"I just shot back at him, joking around with him."

We here at OSG HQ like our comedy funny and not getting Kiffin's strange sense of humor, not to mention lack of class. We can't wait for Lane Kiffin's opening night at The Chuckle Hut.
