Is it just me, or does Adam James appear

to be an outcast on the TT sideline. Looks like the douche has one friend. Meanwhile, the ESPN guys are piling on Leach.

First shot looked like he was in the stands with a couple of friends. Second shot showe him clearly on the sideline, but standing far away with a another douchey looking guy in street clothes. I suppose injured players may typically stand where they aren't in the way. But given the story with this guy, I'd imagine he'd have a supporting cast or would be standing amongst the masses if he had a decent amount of support.

not really. I guess if you expect everyone to be huddled around him all game then yeah. They are piling on Mike Leach though. Before this things over they'll be blaming him for the recession.

Just seems a little suspect with him sitting off to the side with a small group (generous) given the circumstances. I'm very biased, I could easily be reading too much into this.

He was just shown amongst the dressed out players. However, I still think he's a *****.

for letting this **** go on like it is. These guys are going on and on and there was nothing done to harm the James kid. Was it wrong? Maybe (I don't think so). But it wasn't anything like what Mangino was doing. Hell, it wasn't anything like what Bear Bryant did to his aTm team in Junction Texas and they made a ###*+#* movie about that!

No matter what happens with this I think ESPN is doing a ****** job. They pumped the story and now they are allowing these dubmass announcers to go on and on with one side of the story. Just wrong.

and rightfully so.

They've had legit sources say that Adam James didn't even get PT in practice, but Leach had to let him get lots of snaps in practice when Craig James visited, because of the threat of Craig James going off with his ESPN buddies about playing time.

Graham Harrell, last years TT QB, said "James was lazy, didn't work in the weight room, didn't run drills, didn't make an effort"

There's no way for them to be objective. It's a little bit different for a guy like Lou holtz to say that someone's kid is a douche and that he couldn't play on his team when his Dad is in the same studio.

And if Adam James sat in the stands, he runs the risk of another concussion. He was booed by the TT fans and had to have a police escort.
