    I understand Passion in sports, I understand that tempers get heated. BUT Miami is a big time school, and I've never even heard of FIU so Im guessing they are a real small school in a completley diffrent division (however that works in NCAA)

    How about this, and I think it will solve alot of problems about how good certain teams really are;
    Div 1 teams only play eachother
    Div 2 teams only play eachother
    Div 3 teams only play eachother

    I mean you dont see the Cup cars and the Trucks racing in the same race... Do ya?

    If your going to kick them out of a owl games do it for 4 years or less

    if you had Nascar3 with the truck expansion pack, and a special "patch", you could race the cup/bgn cars and trucks together.

    even tho i support the annoucer i think its funny that it all happend heres the story.

    Lamar Thomas fired over Orange Bowl brawl remarks
    BY BARRY JACKSON And GLENN GARVIN
    ggarvin@MiamiHerald.com

    Saturday's mid-game brawl between the University of Miami and Florida International University claimed its first off-the-field victim Monday when Lamar Thomas, a former Miami player who cheered the fight on from a broadcasting booth and even threatened to join it, was fired from his announcing job.

    Comcast Sports Southeast fired Thomas from his job doing color commentary on Hurricanes games and will edit his fiery remarks during the brawl from a replay of the telecast Wednesday.

    ''We don't condone Lamar's statements,'' CSS general manager Mark Fuhrman said. ``He unfortunately got caught in the emotion of it. He blurred the line between what takes place as a participant and your role as a broadcaster.''

    When the head-stomping, helmet-swinging brawl erupted during the third quarter, Thomas not only repeatedly cheered UM on, but said he wanted to join them in taking a shot at the FIU team.

    ''You come into our house, you should get your behind kicked,'' Thomas told viewers. ``You don't come into the Orange Bowl playing that stuff. You're across the ocean over there. You're across the city over there. You can't come over to our place talking noise like that. You'll get your butt kicked. I was about to go down the elevator and get into that thing.''

    He even seemed disappointed when the referees finally got control. ''Why don't they just meet outside in the tunnel after the ball game and get it on some more?'' he urged. ``You don't come into the Orange Bowl, baby -- we've had a down couple of years -- but you don't come in here talking trash. . . .

    ``You come in here talking smack, it's time to get it on. We let you play in our stadium -- they play well, I gotta give it to FIU, they played well so far -- but you cross the line at some point.''

    Thomas, in an interview with The Miami Herald an hour before he was fired, said no one from CSS suggested he tone it down during the telecast, and that he hadn't heard from the network since. But he seemed to clearly expect some disciplinary action.

    ''I'm very new to this whole media thing,'' said Thomas. ``I'm an ex-player. I love the school I was doing games for. I'm very passionate about the University of Miami. I love those kids just like my brothers. I played with my emotions on my sleeve, and I broadcast games just like that.

    ``Unfortunately, this thing blew up into a national event and I was caught with my pants down. If I had to do it all over again, I would be a little more tactful.''

    His threat to join the fight, Thomas added, was a joke. ''Everybody who knows anything about the Orange Bowl knows it's going to take at least 40 minutes to go down the elevator from the press box,'' he said. ``I'm 36 years old, man -- what am I going to do down there? It was a joke, but people didn't take it that way. That's the way it goes.''

    Eleven players from the two teams were ejected after the brawl, and the schools announced that 31 players will be suspended. Of those, FIU says that 16 will be suspended indefinitely and that two will be kicked off the team. UM's 13 suspensions are for one game.

    Thomas -- a wide receiver for Miami during the early 1990s who played six seasons in the NFL, including three with the Dolphins -- was the regular color commentator on CSS' coverage of UM games, which it tapes for replay in mid-week. But Saturday's telecast also aired live as a pay-per-view game on ESPN. And excerpts containing the brawl -- and Thomas' colorful tirade -- began appearing on the Internet the next day.

    UM officials were consulted about the dismissal, said Fuhrman, and ``they were supportive of the decision.''

    ''`We considered multiple options,'' he added. ''We felt this was the appropriate action. The comments made don't represent the beliefs'' of the network.

    Why am I not surprised that Miami didn't kick anyone off the team?

    Because they are a truely classless bunch of thugs. With coaches who are afraid to do anything to appropriately punish thug-like behavior.

    But hey, they did support firing the announcer.

    I want to know, with all seriousness, how long till one of these brawls break out and someone, player or fan pulls out a 9mm and starts unloading? Seriously, what's to stop a player on the bench from doing that the next time they meet?

    You may think I am over the top, but, if stuff like this isn't stopped and appropriate action taken, it will continue to happen and get worse. Bring the local authorites in and make some arrests. From what I saw, there was alot of assaults, and a couple assaults with deadly weapons out there.

    Why, when you are playing a sport, are you allowed to break the law and get away with it?

    knowing the people down there it probably wouldn't be your ordinary 9mm, it would be something like a Mac-10 or an ak-47 or something.

    This is the same team that stomped on the Louisville 50 yard line logo this year and then getting hammered. Also, didn't like 5 players get suspended earlier this year for something.

    Hey Fogel, let me introduce you to an emoticon that is used here a lot...



    It normally is used as a quick way of saying "you walked into that one" or "someone forgot to think" or "I was joking".

    I don't know who shrunk your panties in the wash, but I suggest taking them off, they are definately making you very catty tonight.
