You can take the thug out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of a thug. All eyes are watching MSU. Will they do the right thing and cut him? We shall see. And, no, I'm not an Ole Miss fan. I just want to see if MSU does the right thing & sets an example. This type of person is not welcome in college.

Pig Fight. Onk! Onk!

I think the part that bothers me the most from this video (aside from a woman being abused which carries enough weight in itself), is that there were so many young children around watching this take place. I can't, for the life of me, understand why the black community lets shit like this take place. No adult there stepped in and tried to intervene, or at least scoop the kids up and try to shield them from seeing this violence. The sad part is that those children will grow up thinking this type of behavior is "normal" and perfectly okay to engage in. As an MSU graduate and life long Bulldog fan, he should be denounced as part of the team, and Dan Mullen, Mark Keenum, and other MSU leaders should make an example that just because you can play football, doesn't mean you can come to our school on a free ride and behave this way. His scholarship should be immediately revoked.

I wonder who wrote that "statement" for him. It's pretty good, in terms of manipulating the reader. Who handles damage control for State's athletes?

Absolutely no way he wrote that facebook post himself.

Terrible. Felony assault. He should spend a few years in jail for this. Very Ray Rice like.

First off, I don't condone the actions at all. Women abusers should be in jail..... period.

However, the OM and Bama fans of the world turn into the worlds largest hypocrites when something like this happens to an MSU player. "We'll see how MSU handles this" etc etc.

OM has built a program off of "heppin" wayward souls that had been cut loose from other teams due to crime or other legal problems. Jeremiah Masoli (theft), Damore'ea Stringfellow (assault), machine gun kelly, etc etc... the list goes on.

What I'm getting at is it's easy for another teams' fan to comment on how MSU should cut him loose at this juncture, only to turn around after his JUCO stint and re-sign him. Because I guarantee it would happen.

10:27--nail on the head. this young man should have the scholarship revoked--but that's not the real shame. how many of those kids will grow up with this type of thuggery being part of every day life? how many of those will steal, drive a car recklessly avoiding police and kill innocent victims? (and then blame the police) how many will leave and be called uncle toms by their old neighborhood pals?

He could be a bouncer at Shuckers.

Ok...11:47.......you won the internet for the week.

If Mullen cuts him loose, here's what happens:

1. Simmons plays a year for a juco.

2. Rev. Freeze declares that Simmons is redeemed --REDEEMED!-- by the blood of Jesus --HALLELUJAH!-- and must immediately make his way to Oxford to continue under his spiritual guidance. Lest the devil tempt him to anger again.

If we don't cut him loose we are no better than Ole Miss. Unfortunately Ole Miss will pick him up and we will get beat by a girl hitting thug like we did in November.

12:50 PM...what "girl hitting thug" in Novemver are you referring to? I'll wait...

These Ole Miss/"look over there" comments are a hoot. Fans of The Moo: it hurts that you can no longer use morality plays as an insult, doesn't it?

Just another thug who likes to beat up women. He even had to have help from the fat cow.

According to Bo Bounds (ESPN Out Of Bounds Radio) who claims to know most everything there is to know, similar behavior has existed in and around EVERY team in the SEC. I don't know the truth of that, but Bounds makes that claim. I'm a State fan and don't want this thug on campus, EVER. I don't want his fat ass cousin showing up at games either. She's the lovely lass in the spandex who took the baton from the guy who whupped the girl first.

There is no excuse for tribal behavior. They learned it early in life. Just like all the little ones standing around watching will now learn it. Great example. Thug. Tribal. Ghetto. Let his ass work at Exxon or some chicken farm. He does not belong in civilized society and certainly not on a college campus.

Stringfellow will be the next one who announces salvation under the direction of Hugh Freeze and Stringfellow had two assaults to his credit, both females.

PS: Please don't come with any crap about this simply being a mistake and youthful indiscretion. It's a sign of things to come for this monster. Never let him wear maroon.

Why all the Ole Miss comments....I think what Freeze has accomplished with Kelly is remarkable. And Quon got baptized yesterday. Why so negative?

as ugly as that video is, if he is charged, it will be a misdemeanor, not a felony. its simple assault unless the woman suffered "serious injury". the local authorities should recuse themselves and let the MBI look into this. since this happened last Thursday, and he issued his canned apology, it appears to me that a lot of sweep it under the rug is going on in Macon. but fans, the video is out there and has gotten some reference from national media. heck, this blog is fanning the flames now with this posting by JJ.

10:14, how do you ascertain that Simmons resides in a ghetto? A college graduate like yourself should be more articulate.

Commercial Dispatch in Columbus reporting that Macon PD charging him and others with disorderly conduct or disturbing the peace; the woman is signing an affidavit charging him with simple assault.

What do you expect from a grown person who still plays kid games? It is very hard for me to understand how people will accept such behavior just because a person is good at some child game.

1:51

Well spoken.

The guy will end up at Auburn. Come on State fans you know the drill. Y'all pay for the thugs and Auburn wins with them.

"this blog is fanning the flames now with this posting by JJ." You should be ashamed Kingfish, fanning those flames by reporting the news. Showing people what he did is hate speech and stuff.

Facts are that this is a State football player that beat up a girl. What will be done by the law and what will be done by MSU? This has nothing to do with any other person, player or school.

noel, that was directed to people that say its no big deal and will blow over. it will be on ESPN very soon now. no way to cover it up or sweep it under the rug...

*Kingfish posts video of MSU prospect allegedly MMA grounding and pounding a woman*

*80% of the comments contain quips about the University of Mississippi athletics/current OM players/Hugh Freeze*

Cognitive dissonance is a beautiful thing.

I read about it on the New York Post. As a product of JPS none of this surprises me or find intriguing. This stuff happen all of the time with that type of people. It's not a race thing. It's a low everything from income, parenting, education, class, IQ... Cougars, Pirates and Bulldogs...You know this behavior. You've seen it. Patriots and Raiders aren't on this site.

If he gets punished, she's just going to pop off at the mouth again before long. Better that she learn a lesson now instead of later when someone has a gun.

First, the media version of the video does not show the first 60-90 seconds of the incident. It just starts with Simmons striking the female. The female instigated the fight by attacking Simmons' relative.

Second, the Macon PD has charged all involved including the female with disturbing the peace.

Third, the female has filed an affidavit for simple assault (misdemeanor).

It's a serious matter, but the video does not depict the entire circumstances.

I wonder what the NFL would do if they saw this video and GOLDEN BOY was a player? If MSU keeps this kid, every woman on that campus should be afraid. No man should ever hit a woman. Simply put. This boy and obviously the others should be ashamed of their behavior. Animals act better than this portrayal.

Hey 1:27. I reccomend you Google all your transfers. Football and basketball. Really easy to do. " knocked the girl unconscious".

Simmons changed his mind and decided he actually wanted to play for the Black Bears. He realized some sort of criminal activity was the quickest way to get Freeze's attention. He thought about posting a Youtube video of himself smoking a big sensimilla spliff but concluded that wouldn't reach the high bar Freeze has set for the program. It soon became apparent to Simmons that smacking around women was his ticket to Oxford.

Let me get this straight- a young man puts a noose around a metal statue and goes to prison for a year - this animal beats the snot out of a defenseless woman who is already on the ground and its a misdemeanor? Is that where we are folks??

6:45, you are a pretty sick fellow.

If Dan Mullen wants to keep his credibility amongst high school football coaches in Mississippi's troubled high schools then he better cut this guy asap.

Teachers/coaches speak out against this crap way too often. They already have to deal with lack of help from administrators, parents, the ACLU, and Southern Poverty Law Center. They really don't need someone who gets paid millions of dollars and is looked up to say its okay to do thuggish things.

Cut him Mullen. Really, he should have been cut already.

Saying he wasn't thinking is a really stupid excuse for a 12th grader. I would think someone with that type of intelligence or lack there of wouldn't be able to get into Mississippi State.

If Mississippi wants to no longer be 50th in everything. It needs to start not putting up with this type of bs.

Regarding mention of Pastor Freeze; It's really this simple. Freeze and his legion of disciples have for five years praised his ability to bring wayward boys to Jesus. He's told the parents of recruits that Mullen is an atheist. He's promised mommas that they boy will be in church if she lets him come to Oxford. He brags about 22,000 Twitter followers, most of whom are on the fast track to salvation.

He stays in touch with players on other teams counseling them about their salvation and behavioral paths. He claims to be an ordained minister. He follows in the footsteps of the Nutter when it comes to 'givin the boys a fourth chance'.

See how that works? All this deviant knuckle-dragger needs is three weeks with Freeze and his life will be turnt totally arount. Let OM have the thug. If nothing else, he can attempt to fly out of a motel third floor.

2:19....10:14 mentioned ghetto because this is a simple example of ghetto behavior. One doesn't necessarily have to live in a ghetto to have learned ghetto behavior and accept it as a life-path.

@6:58 p.m. Aggravated assault is a felony. She filed an affidavit for simple assault. If he is a first-time offender, he will get PreTrial Intervention. No jail time. Just like every other Tom, Dick, or Harry in Mississippi.

Really? I associated the behavior with New Iberia.

6:45 might be sick but he/she/they/it is right on the money about the abuse of women in Oxford, Mississippi.

What does Freeze have to do with any of this.This is a MSU player. When an Ole Miss players messes up then talk about Freeze but not now , you dummies!

3:50 PM and 8:34 PM are really showing their ignorance, referring to this thug as '...a State football player." He is NOT a State football player. He's a high school student, not under the jurisdiction of MSU in any way. He's not eligible to enroll at MSU as he is still in high school. And hopefully he will never enroll at MSU.

The introduction of Pastor Freezus is relevant to the conversation because he has become, arguably, world famous for converting the behavior of bar-room thugs to a pathway of salvation (or so his followers claim).

The UMAA national-title trophy case is slap damned empty, but the preacher's list of saved souls continues to grow, he says. Let OM have this boy. Nothing matters but a win.

This thug has a signed piece of paper that says he is to be part of the MSU football program and he will play for State and fit in nicely.

I'm really proud of Jeffrey. He's a fine young man. This lady had a wasp that was stinging her and he simply tried to swat it off. I'm so very proud of him.

See how ridiculous the above statement sounds. But when Hugh Freeze made the statement "I'm proud of Tunsil because he was defending his mother", all the Ole Miss fans bought it and ran with it. And it sounded just as ridiculous. And later was proven to be totally false and Hugh was proven a liar.. See how stupid some stuff sounds.

manner...not manor

I like Bo Bounds descriptions. A mistake, an incident, he struck her, domestic dispute, etc. Everyone knows he is an MSU fan boy.

Unfortunately, this is the landscape today. Mullen is judged by wins and losses, not running a "clean" program. Let him play and suffer the PR hit.

Tell you what, Fido at 9:56, you list all the players or potential players for MSU who have run afoul of the law in the past ten years and I'll run you a list of those from Ole Myth. Guess which list is twice as long? Two years ago Ole Myth was in the top ten schools in the country on the list of players jailed.

PS: Bo Bounds has been having multiple orgasms for two days over the three pro-prospects up at TSUN working out. I'm beginning to think he's a bit obsessed with the smell of jock straps.

Throw all of the thugs out on the street where they belong. Make them get a real job instead of playing a child's game.
