After finishing off a National Championship runner-up season with LSU, and placing fifth in the Heisman voting, reports are trickling out of Baton Rouge that Tyrann Mathieu, a.k.a. “The Honey Badger,” has been dismissed from LSU’s football team.

The five-foot-nine junior cornerback was considered one of, if not the best defensive player in all of college football.

UPDATE: Les Miles has confirmed that the Honey Badger is donezo.

“We did what we could do, but Tyrann Mathieu is no longer on our team,” said Les Miles in a live press conference. Miles said Mathieu broke “team rules,” but due to privacy issues, could not disclose further details.

If there were privacy issues that prevent saying what he did, then maybe you’re prying too far into your players’ private lives.

I’m gonna go out on the limb and bet that the badger didn’t rape a little boy. Sounds like it’s almost certain that he was smoking weed, which is not a PED so who gives a crap.

Well,if it’s a weed thing or something like that,then sure,I agree completely.
