🏈 Tony Brown Sent Home (rejoins team meetings Weds.)

[Splittine]

For violating team rules.

Mr. Brown,
With your left hand pretend to hold a beer can.
With your right hand make a fist.
Insert your closed right fist into the semi-circle shape of your left hand
Quickly withdraw your right hand from your left
This is the international sign of :

GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS!!!

 

[#80]

Dumb-ass !

 

[ColAngus]

Kick him off the team. Anyone stupid enough to be sent home before this game doesn't deserve a spot on the roster.

 

[TerryP]

There's the focus, folks.

 

[alabama mike]

Just saw this a few minutes ago...not real smart. Next man up.

 

[ColAngus]

I would think Nick is tired of chewing his ass. I'd be surprised if he returns next season.

 

[rueben]

I hope it was by bus, like they did a couple fo players not too long ago.

 

[planomateo]

My thought as well @rueben ...bus or plane?

 

[JoshB]

I dont think there is a chance he comes back next year at this point.

 

[alabama mike]

IMO, he should have to make his own arrangements to get home and pay for it @planomateo and @rueben .

The day before Alabama cornerback Tony Brown was sent home from Dallas for violating team rules he said he hoped to improve his "emotional consistency" in 2016.

At the team's media day Tuesday morning, he talked about his hopes for the New Year:

"Coach Saban talked to be about a blind spot – the blind spot is what you think you're doing, as opposed to what someone else sees you doing... That's something I want to get better at, working on my emotional consistency and not showing people that I'm up and down, showing them an even keel."

He said sometimes as he was growing up people would say he had issues with anger, but he always thought the problem was with others not himself.

"As you get older, you've got to understand perspectives and perceptions of other people looking at you, and it's hard to understand someone else's perception of you," Brown said Tuesday.

The school sent a one-sentence email Wednesday afternoon saying an internal decision had been made to send him home. No further details have been released.

Brown is a key reserve player who came to Alabama in 2014 as a five-star recruit. He primarily played on special teams this year while serving as Minkah Fitzpatrick's backup at the "Star position."

A day before being sent home, Alabama CB Tony Brown sought 'emotional consistency' in 2016

Bus, years ago I had to take a bus from Houston Tx, to Dothan, Al. It was like a "Who's Who of American Psycho's. " It would be part of the Punishment for T Brown.

Makes you wonder where the focus of this team is right now.

My dad had to take a bus a few times a cpl years ago because of switching companies and they were too cheap to fly him instead. He said that there was some scary, freaky, smelly ppl on that bus.

Whether it is true or not, IDK, but I was told the other players are the ones that made the suggestion to send him home.

They are in the zone. I've heard it from a few folks and see Alabama beat writers comment about the same thing the last few days. Here is an example...there were a few more today and yesterday, I'm just gonna be lazy and not search for them.

Look on the bright side @rueben, when you got off at the Greyhound there in Dothan, you were only a couple of blocks away from Herman n Ann's. You could have gone and shot a few games of pool or played a little snooker.

 

[BamaFan334]

He's from Texas, so maybe they'll just send him to momma and just box his shit up and mail it to him.

Hahahaa! no.
I was actually coming home ( from the ship yards) to attend my grandmother's funeral. To make matters worse, itwas a round trip. We stopped in every hole-the-wall and street sign along the way. ( not the Alabama ,Mississippi, Louisiana, or east Tejas had many hole in the wall type stops). Herman and Ann's is re-opened,under new ownership. And lest just say I have had some interesting dealings with them on the professional level.
