Guy Morriss Likes Players Who Steal...

This is a "Strange but apparently true story". Football players at Texas A&M-Commerce stole student newspapers on campus...because they didn't like a story in it.

Yes, the East Texan, the student newspaper, had printed a story about 2 of the teams players being arrested in a drug bust in their dorm room.

Here is the original story the East Texan ran RIGHT HERE

For whatever reason, the players...and Head Coach Guy Morriss didn't like the story. The players then apparently took it upon themselves to round up as many copies of the free paper that they could. According to the University Police...they have video of several players taking as many copies as they could.

The worst part of the whole story; Morriss, a coaching failure at Baylor and Kentucky actually endorsed his teams behavior. Morriss apparently told the University's Crime Information Officer "I'm proud of my players for doing that" and "This was the best team building excercise we have ever done".

It gets better. The schools athletic director Carlton Cooper said the players couldn't have done it. He added "I don't think they are smart enough to do this on their own".

Okay. There are problems here on a ton of levels. First off. It's not up to Guy Morriss or any of his "Players" to decide what is NEWS and what isn't. Second, who is Guy Freakin' Morriss to advocate stealing? Or questioning anything like this? He should be just damn happy someone will allow him to be a head football coach someplace. Third, the Athletic Director...are you a freakin' moron? Come on dude? You just slammed your players as being stupid!

It sounds an awful lot like there is a "Different" set of rules going on in good 'ol Commerce. One for the general public and one for the football team. No, sorry...Guy....You nor your team are good enough or warrant that kind of treatment. For that matter...nobody does. You don't get to decide what is NEWS. You don't get to advocate stealing and though you apparently aren't going to get fired for this...you probably should be arrested....MORON! (Sorry I opined...this just kind of pisses me off)

Here's a report from MyFoxDFW on the shenanigans, complete with the surveillance video... James Rose is on patrol...
