When a good man goes bad: Mike Price filed a $20 million lawsuit against Alabama for denying him "due process" when firing him for his behavior earlier this year. So this is what it has come down to. Mike Price, once considered one of the most respected personalities in College Football, is relegated to filing lawsuits (he also has one against Sports Illustrated for $20 million) and crying about fairness. I'll tell you what's unfair...It's unfair that he put himself in a position where he got so drunk he admittedly can't remember what happened with a stripper in his hotel room. What's unfair is that his wife had to hear about it in the media. What is unfair is that this guy has the nerve to say we have rushed to judgement against him. At the very least he admits he was in the strip club twice, that he had to be escorted home by a stripper because he was so drunk & that he can't remember what happened after that because he was so out of it. That's if what HE says is true. If the article has it right, he did much worse than that. Instead of filing suits to keep this in the public eye, he should issue a public apology for his behavior, apologize to his wife and family and promise to keep his nose clean from here on out. If he did that I bet people would give him a second chance. Some small college would hire him again within a year or two. Now, nobody wants anything to do with him.
