Turn on Sammy Meade.
Here, listen to this.
Can you hear this? And according to this website, some of these Lion players have quite a background Aggravated assault, sale of a controlled substance.
Looks like quarterback Vince Howard doesn't just evade defenses either.
He's got two resisting arrests, and that's on top of a theft charge.
Those of you wondering how coach Taylor turned his program around so fast have got your answer.
He's got a football team full of violent criminals.
Busted! This is unbelievable.
What are you worried about, choir boy? You're not even in it.
My thing is how'd they get our records? Supposed to be under lock and key, under wraps, you know? Yeah, well, somebody leaked it, I guess.
I'll tell you who leaked it.
It was those damn Panthers.
Dang, Tink, why were you breaking into a pawn shop? Dude, it wasn't even my idea.
It was my cousin's.
This ain't right.
It's messed up.
"And her dress was stuck in her backside, "so I plucked it out for her.
She turned around, punched me in my eye.
" He said, "well, how'd you get the other black eye, then?" The kid says, "well, when she turned around, I stuffed it back in there for her.
" Hey, good morning, coach.
Just wanted to ask a simple question.
Who is it that, uh, released the records of the players online? We're all as shocked as you are, coach.
Y'all realize, those are just kids.
I agree, coach, and I'm here to personally assure you Who released the records, Randy? I'd like to help you, coach, but we don't know.
It needs to be shut down.
I know y'all can do that.
Shut it down.
Y'all want to go after someone, go after me.
Don't go after my players.
- Coach, we didn't do it.
- Mac.
Well, um, you know, it's a personal situation.
I-I think she's just having a hard time adjusting and No, no, no, no, no, no.
You know, well, I think we can handle it from here, but I just We're just real committed to her not letting this semester go, so Oh, that would be great.
I'll do that, and and I thank you so much.

Doesn't matter who did it.
It's out there, and everybody knows, period.
You ought to be pissed.
I'm pissed.

That's all right.
I used to make those for my brother occasionally.
That's what got him a state championship, if I do say so myself.
And it also got him into college.
Difference between you and Tim is that Tim actually liked to hit people.
I don't get the vibe that you do.
- I do, coach.
- Well, I never seen it.
You tell me you like to hit people.
- Hell, yeah.
- Well, let me tell you about a guy named Tommy Larkins, for the Dillon Panthers.
This is him right here.
You tell me you like to hit.
Then I want you to go out on the first play of that game, and you knock that kid on his ass.
You get a bead on him, and you take him out.
You think you can do that? Hell, yeah, I can do that! Why don't you prove it to me? All right.

That damn kid's climbing back in the womb again.
- Well - While you're up there, why don't you tell 'em they have an employee who happens to be sleeping around with the students? Well, it takes two to tango on that one, - hate to tell you, honey.
- Don't say that.
Mmm.
Come here.

No, I mean, like, what are you doing? You're acting really weird towards me.
Am I? "Hey, rally girl, stadium's that way.
" I mean I mean, what is that? I figured it was just, like, testosterone pumping - for the game, but - Maybe, I don't know.
Well, you're just usually friendly, and you call me by my name, and Well, no, I mean, do you like it when I'm nice to you? Yeah, I like it when you're nice to me.
Okay.

Where did you get these? I just drove to Burleson.
Did you talk to Derek? Mm-hmm.
What did he say? You need to study.
Coach Taylor should be ashamed of himself.
You saw the game.
Am I crazy here? I can't disagree with you.
All those penalties, all that trash-talking, capped off with a completely unnecessary in-your-face to close the game.
What was coach Taylor thinking? What was the point of all this? You gonna go to Buddy's for a beer? Don't feel like celebrating tonight.
All right.
