Watch as he implored the Auburn student section to get louder while chanting "He hits women" during tonight's Sugar Bowl. QB Baker Mayfield joins him, as well:
OU's Joe Mixon: Scumbag/Thug/Lowlife Extraordinaire
- Thread starter AreYouNUTS
- Start date
Of course, Brent said he hears that Mixon is doing well and hopes for a nice NFL career. Doesn't mention anything about the woman whose face he broke.

Brent apparently addressed this issue angrily later.. said "what he did with that young lady was brutal, uncalled-for" and hopes Mixon uses the video to teach others... Brent was angry (must have been catching criticism on twitter or something).. I think that might be his last game.. Musberger that is.. because that angry rant was pretty bad.

Eh. She's no model citizen either. Honestly, her face being broken is the only update of interest.
And the Auburn student section shouldn't even be talking. There have been more than a couple Auburn players caught up in domestic violence incidents. But they weren't caught on tape so it's okay to pretend it never happened i guess.
I have no sympathy for that girl at all. She acted ghetto and she got ghetto back - reap/sow thing.
That's cause you have very obvious women/mommy issues.
No joke. There was a time when laying hands on a woman were unconscionable regardless of the circumstances. Now it's justified because she started it - that's 3 year old logic. Must be a millennial thing...
I guess the young woman also hope he does well in the draft. She has a civil suit pending against Mixon that is only worth something if he makes a lot of money.
I kind of agree with Musberger, the video has been played 100's of times. Everybody knows about it. It was from 2 years ago. He was punished for it. He apologized for it. Not that it makes it okay, it doesn't. Nobody agrees with what he did. But why beat a dead horse.
Per people there, he was directing the "get louder" to the Oklahoma section, who was cheering trying to drown out the cheer.
As for Musburger, he's exactly right. Why not wish well on the kid? He made a mistake, paid for it...why wish him continued harm? Doesn't make what he did OK...but wishing him harm doesn't make what he did OK either.
No - its a James Bond thing. Mixon's mistake was violating Sean Connery's rule - you can hit a woman in some circumstances but not with a closed fist.
I've never actually hit a girl or even come close to it but I grew up watching enough violent trashy women to know I would absolutely. I've seen earrings ripped out, corneas damaged, box cutters rendered etc. I've even helped ghetto hoggers being beat up just to have them turn on me once I got their man on the ground. My experience is that guys who say they never ever hit a woman under any circumstances also usually will never hit guys under any circumstances and are pretty much useless. Yay for weenie pride etc etc.
In this specific case, this girl didn't want video released because she knows she looks bad and loses sympathy. She also has a history of being arrested, violating probation, being a headcase etc. Not that ay of that could be known but when a drunk trash girl pushes you and you assume a defensivme posture and her response is to hit you in the face then you know you have a prize on your hands. Mixon should not have punched her but because of the trouble that brings him. For her part she asked for trouble and got it - cry me a river. Seems she should get court ordered "cognitive therapy" along with Mixon
Sean Connery - keep that hand open..
Not really that angry of a rant lol.
Regardless, Brent is absolutely terrible and should've been fired 10 years ago.
And Mixon is in no way shape or form deserving of being drafted or playing in the NFL. He should be blacklisted from the league just like our boy was.
IMO, Ray Rice deserved a second chance, so if I'm being consistent Mixon also deserves a second chance. Except I found myself so appalled at Mixon, I turned the game off in the early second quarter.
So does that mean you would turn off any game Ray Rice played in? Why were you so appalled by Mixon?
These posters calling Mixon a thug, scumbag, etc, should have the same attitude with Ray Rice. What's the difference? Am I missing something?
For self defense?? The video doesn't lie. He served his suspension. Let it go.
That wasn't really the discussion...whether you agree or disagree with this..you can still wish him luck since he IS back on the team and going pro.
A lot of Ray Rice not getting a second chance was political. Some was due to his age and decreasing production.
But I don't think Vick should have received a second chance playing football. There is no intrinsic value in being able to throw, catch, or run with a football. The only value is in the entertainment provided to fans. Football players earn their salary by getting fans to watch and cheer for them.
But some acts are so abhorrent that a player who commits those acts can't expect fans to cheer for him. Vick falls into that category for me. From WRIR's post earlier, it seems that Mixon falls into that category for him.
Vick deserves a second chance after leaving prison? Great, he can earn a living as a speaker against animal abuse, or work as a computer programmer, or pump gas. There are plenty of jobs available for him that don't require people to cheer him on.
There are lot's of jobs where you lose your job for "making a mistake". Doctors lose their medical licenses, Lawyers get debarred. OJ Simpson's acting career went in the crapper after his was acquitted because no one wanted to see Simpson in a movie or commercial (and OJ was found Not Guilty).
No one has a right to play football and have fans cheer for them. And you can f**k up so badly that most fans can't get past it and don't want to cheer for you.
its a different world. I see girls fight and beat up boys all the time. It doesnt justify Dixon's violent reaction but you dont know what he's seen or what he went through growing up. He could have been a victim a racists acts. He could have been a victim of domestic violence. I feel sorry for her. Thats not a place where that type thing should happen. At the same time she shouldn't put her hands on anyone. These players come from inner cities where this type of behavior is common. You don't know how people are gonna react to getting slapped in the face. Hopefully he learned his lesson.
I stepped away from the TV when the Sugar Bowl came on because my eyes got tired of looking at PSU's 80s era (and dated), oval Lion logo for 4.5 hours. Heard Musberger in the background taking about Mixon saying to myself "Don't go there Brent, it won't end well". There was something about his comments that were typical Musberger. The dude likes the people in front of him on the field to be squeaky clean. It's his fetish, so he likes to celebrate dirty-to-clean or stay-clean stories. Like 35 years ago when I saw him point-blank asked Jackie Sherrill in a post-game interview if he payed his players or how he liked to tout Paterno as one who got success by doing it the "Right Way" (which didn't include monitoring your assistant coaches how they act around kids). He's too obsessed with redemption for the character-impaired athlete to bring up that Mixon broke the girl's jaw and face.
Vick got a standing ovation at his return to the Georgia Dome the other day. But I understand how some fans will never get past what he did. Whether Mixon deserves a second chance is a matter of opinion really.
Baloney.
There might have been a hypocritical "ideal" of never laying hands on a woman (I know I was taught that) but it was pretty standard fair.. women were chattel.. there have even been many movies that showed men hitting women in a comical light. Spencer Tracey and Cary Grant hit women on the big screen. Ralph Kramden threatend Alice every damn episode of the Honeymooners...
But women hitting men so brazenly and acting like thugs.. and hitting eachother so often.. acting so unladylike.. that is new. Thanks Obama.
It looked to me like he came up to her, said something nasty so she pushed him, he spits in her face so she tries slap him and he punches her out. He started it and escalated it. Those claiming self defense are talking out their ass.
The thing about getting a second chance - he never really paid a penalty to need a second chance. He stayed with OU last year and redishirted, getting free training, tuition, food, housing and saving his body from taking a punishment, and then plays this year while OU does its best to hide the video until he is gone Alas for OU coverup fell short. I'd be surprised if he plays in the NFL.

Because being outraged is more important than the actual issue. It's the Age of Umbrage.
You're delusional. He did say something to her but apparently there was some sort of argument outside. He was walking away, she pushed him, if anything she spit in his face, he definitely slapped him, and then he punched her out. And the Prosecutor admitted it was self-defense and he entered an alford plea to a misdemeanor.
