[@aaronlopez492]

His consistent, wherever he goes he quits.

[@9MilNorm]

This ain’t about “the team”, he quit on Georgia after winning the Natty. This is about not playing. Dude playing behind someone and didn’t like it.

[@deloachapproach4273]

Dude feels priviledged, and doesn't want to earn playing time. Kirby didn't play that crap. No coach should. NIL and the transfer portal have, by and large, ruined college football. No longer is a free education, room and board, and, if you are good enough to enjoy the benefits of either NIL or FA, the promise of making millions in the NFL. Bear had better beware. The ditches on each side of the path to football greatness is littered with uber-talented, would-be greats who never made it because of attitude. His stinks!

[@rongladney5658]

Quit on Georgia, quit on USC. Who’s next?

[@michael-thetailgate]

McDonald’s. Probably.

[@doncoroleone7815]

He was a locker room cancer and did not leave Georgia voluntarily.

[@chrishuston1992]

​@@michael-thetailgate😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@brayansantos2518]

Probably going to quit on frenso state lol

[@hookem33l7]

Nobody will take a guy that’s not willing to stick with a program. His track record tells coaches all they need to know. Why invest the time to develop a guy that will quit on you. Bear Alexander us not worth the effort

[@seanmcdaniel6759]

This is why the NFL sucks. If half the draft class is a bouquet of daisies, locker rooms will be toxic.

[@Laredo215]

Texas will not pick him up. Sark has cultivated a culture that he will shield from a player like Bear. Sark let two desired DTs go in the portal because they were only about the money this year. The DTs that went to Oregon and Oklahoma.

[@Mox3712]

Oh GTFO of here - had he actually wanted to transfer there you guys would have kissed his ass to come. Stop it with that crap about culture - no one believes you

[@tacticalmattfoley]

This generation is offended by everything and ashamed of nothing......

[@keithdrake1159]

I don’t think this kid wants to work! He left Georgia and now USC.

[@alfredlopez1883]

A lot has to do with his Dad and Mom waiting for a paycheck

[@Charlie-s4k4v]

The issue is much larger than NIL. As a teacher of 38 years, I can tell you that much of an entire generation was destroyed by Covid and the government/district's reaction to it. Students were in a situation where their grades could only improve and not drop. Additionally, they had a choice whether to do homework. These kids are not accustomed to any adversity or having to be responsible for their actions.

[@jodyjoe8612]

Facts!!! I’m a school teacher as well, going into my 5th year and it is flat out disgusting

[@mgobluecom]

💯

[@Battlegnome112]

Terrible take. Obviously the vid was fake and ruined even more kids. But…..Kids were ruined when Christianity and accountability left. My son is 22 and they stopped doing homework when he was in middle school. The second kids knew their teachers pronouns and didn’t know god; it was too late. Kids are pushed through to the next grade so that schools can continue to get state funding. It’s a pay to play system. They’re allowed to fail upwards. Which unfortunately is much like the corporate world. We ask nothing of kids today. Just show up and we’re going to give you a trophy. I can go on.

[@Battlegnome112]

And to the teachers out there. I’m sorry to say this. But you are shells of what educators should be. You stopped teaching and started making friends.

[@daniel6771]

Typical old head response. Either adapt to these times or shut up!

[@gsands2948]

Hate to say it but dude did quit on his team. USC has a chance to go to the playoffs and most likely will. He quit because he is a role player. He is a backup and sees himself as a star without putting in the work. Coaches and the team will be just fine without this guy.

[@T-reasy]

Hes been getting 20 snaps a game , then Tony Jones his guardian got triggerd by a tweet from a You tuber and that was the final straw. Tony Jones is guiding him wrong

[@WAHollier54]

Exactly! Trojan Blade called Bear out and Thin Skin Tony Jones peed his pants!! Sad! ✌🏽

[@SaltedExpectations]

He is not a starter and wasn't getting a ton of playing time.

[@AlfredVandermade]

Lol he’s not big time fellas, you’re giving him way too much credit. Also, he doesn’t start. Pay attention lol

[@patrickwelch1010]

The NFL should be very concerned. The number of selfish, problem players is increasing dramatically . They better hire a psychiatrist to evaluate or suffer.

[@jlamedia744]

I’m shock these guys don’t want the tape for the NFL makes no sense

[@mgobluecom]

Honestly LOVED the Sports talk!❤

[@Brazil144hopeful]

Probably Don't have a reql one

[@wejuggernautentertainmentl3156]

Not the starter

[@prestonfirmin3470]

He said he is transferring because of lack of playing time.

[@Mox3712]

He has to EARN that playing time and he refuses to do that. He did the same thing at UGA - wants playing time handed to him, without competing for the spot. That's not how it works in college football

[@amurray7224]

The kid blew it. You get playing time based on successful execution and commitment to winning. The kid has spoiled his name for now.

[@TheProfessorisinthehouse]

Guys, please tell the truth! USC defensive tackle Bear Alexander, who had expressed displeasure with his playing time, is taking a redshirt season in 2024. Tony Jones, whom Alexander calls his father, told ESPN that Alexander doesn't plan to play for the rest of the season to preserve a year of eligibility. Alexander plans to stay with the USC team and practice, Jones said.

[@jamietwigg5152]

Time to start making them sign contract, with penalties

[@Brazil144hopeful]

These kids are use to this everybody gets rewarded no matter what you do shit

[@stevenbaltazar1001]

Bear was 2nd string...

[@Mox3712]

Yes he was...

[@JoshStrickland-n8x]

He quit on georgia too.

[@Mox3712]

I'm not sure he was a starter at USC - he was only playing about 20-22 snaps a game. That's not starter snaps...

[@dan90266]

He wasn't starting. Zero loyalty and little effort.

[@ryanpitts8516]

Someone will pick him up, he's just too talented, but I don't think they're gonna pay what he's asking or match what SC did. Either way, not a good move

[@JoseMariaGarcia-gp6uy]

His guardian is ruining his future

[@Kayluv101]

Transfer portal and NIL need changes Asap before it’s too late.. These are college athletes not pro players..Everyone on that roster is replaceable and it won’t affect ticket sells or views..Players don’t bring viewership at the college level… Change it so you can transfer once in three years atleast…

[@jemazondo9331]

The one year sit transfer rule was a good one. That gives a player 2 transfers in 5 years. Then they can do a graduate transfer without having to sit.

[@ChadBest-ug8uo]

Bare Alexander

[@pinhead6767]

Lazy, that's the real issue. Good Riddance........ Fight On

[@willstrick9185]

Bear is transferring bc of playing time.

[@Mox3712]

Well yes but not the way you think. He wants more playing time, yes - but he does not want to work for that playing time or earn it. He wants it given to him. He did the same thing at UGA.

[@27rykou]

What was his excuse at the other 5 schools?

[@RobertRatliff]

Nobody quitting. It's about paying professional athletes. College players are professionals now. Get over it.

[@alexpetrie9712]

Lacking wisdom. Also seems lazy. He will reap what he sows. His track record doesn’t look great.

[@RobertRatliff]

Colleges getting over on colleges. This about colleges recruiting players for next year. Get a grip.

[@TheProfessorisinthehouse]

Three former college “ intermural football players” trying real hard to convince the public they know College Football! Somebody tell Paul Finebaum’s nephews, they ain’t it!

[@RobertRatliff]

College is now about being a professional athlete. High school is now college ball.

[@jemazondo9331]

He was ESPN Top 60 recruit and he thinks he's entitled to playing time. It's amazing how these guys think they have to go to a top10 program because they got ranked 4 or 5 stars then get bent out of shape when they realize the competition is tough. You gotta check the rosters and incoming class before you just go

[@chadwilcox6910]

First time watching this podcast. You guys are good! Fun to listen to.

[@BarretRush18]

It’s very simple- players are a lot softer now. Players in the early 2000s were softer than guys in early 1900s. It’s just the direction that the culture is heading in and NIL has made things a lot worse.

[@tomtillman4650]

Georgia coaches and players were not sad to see him leave. Ironically, his best statistical season was his Freshmen year at Georgia.

[@misteranu_speaks]

Doesn’t matter. Let the man live HIS life.

[@saulbarron4824]

This guy thinks NFL general managers are going to just brush this issue aside when he ultimately leaves for the NFL? He needs much better guidance.

[@vs820]

generation of non loyal quitters finally getting money... lol so sad

[@JamesClampitt-ju5jd]

What did Riley promise him when he signed last season? We will never know.

[@JohnHoulgate]

When Pete Carroll was coach at USC, he made it very clear that everyone had to compete for their playing time. Practices were very high energy and the boys rose to the challenge. There were a few guys who transferred. The most well known were quarterbacks. Playing time is not a given if you want to play for a top flight team. And if this guy thinks he can make it in the NFL, he's going find it's even tougher.

[@charlesmiller2341]

CANADIAN FOOTBALL MAYBE .. NFL they are so into psychoanalysis of players for sure big doubt they will probably pass. That is the worst advice EVER by a parent or guardian to a youngster. If he transfers to a college for sure it will not be a power 5 program, same reason quit on the team during the season - Nothing Worse.

[@AllenKeith]

The players are now hired guns. Loyalty to the team is history. The attitude is no longer what you can do for the team, but what the program and team can do for you. Everyone is in it for themselves, whether head coaches, assistance coaches, or players. The only way to fix this is for negotiated player contracts of 1, 2, or 3 years, not unlike in the NFL.

[@tannerjamesgaughf6852]

SC fan. He was excellent last year but it seems the team around him has elevated beyond him and he decided that he needs to be a starter. He has an opportunity to go back to the Pac 12 and play for San Jose State now. Bummer but SC is fine. Have fun, Bear.

[@rickphillips5530]

Part time talent, full time headache

[@budsmith5368]

Loyalty can be bought for a quarter half dozen once every other month

[@floridapmi]

He could care less if they are contending for a playoff spot

[@robertjulieannanalett1691]

Set up a Collegiate league in a bag League 1 League attracts Collegiate players who want to play in the NFL but also want to get a degree if that doesn't work out. The bag League will a track players who are not interested in an education and just want to get to the NFL which at best only 50% of the athletes will make it. It's an all or nothing gamble.

[@RobertRatliff]

Student athlete? Lol grow up

[@primetech2659]

The kids that know they can change they family life's right now that's the difference how about go to where most of these kids are be recruited from the hood real life problems and struggles everyday it uses to be im playing at USC and moms still struggle not anymore y'all was broke and still had parents look at the kid at Michigan State idk if you know this most kids play to change their familys life and they have that opportunity now that's what's it's about because for all that Jesus talk and I love my players dabo didn't want to pay his players after Justin ross saving him in that national championship amd then hurting his back and was never the same

[@rolfpeters123]

Oregon? Gotta be kidding. Dude couldn’t crack the Ducks’ top 3

[@marquesmurray]

Its happening in high school. However, it's not the players' fault. If you sell kids on being a pro is the only thing that matters, they will act accordingly. That means, its not about team, not about winning. Its only personal success that matters, and that means i cant sit on the bench. Again, it isnt their fault. Coaches and teams made it this way.

[@Mox3712]

Perhaps so but at some point a person has to have some personal responsibility. We all know right from wrong but apparently that doesn't bother clowns like Bear.

[@Talkinsports91]

He quit because of lack of playing time.

[@ejay30]

Because he took his spot for granted

[@Mox3712]

Yeah and he didn't want to earn the starting spot. He did the same crap at UGA - wants playing time given to him without earning it.

[@nickcomer8354]

Every single last player should have the right and and ability to go get that money while they can. Most dudes have zero shot at getting into the league. Most dudes will end up with average or slightly above average jobs where they'll likely still struggle at times to raise and support a family. They need to get that money while they can and they should use whatever leverage they got to their advantage.... Sorry not sorry.... Football is their job and they generate millions each year for a lot of these schools. Aint no one going to bitch at Ted in accounting for leaving and taking a new job at another company for a higher wage and maybe even a promotion. But we wanna dog pile these young dudes and say "they dont care about the team anymore".... Like get outta here with that. This has always been about money and playing some ball.... Every one of these young dudes wants to make it in the league.... Only a small number will make it in, and an even smaller number will last and be able to make it a career. Stop shitting on these young dudes. SMH..... 😒

[@protocol4043]

I disagree. Dude got his money, last year AND this year. He was a starter, last year, and it was ALWAYS HIS JOB TO LOSE. He got a dude that came in from the NFL, championship winning team, HOF player coached, in Coach Henny. Why are people passing him over for starts and play time? From the time the new staff came in till this game, he's had the SAME amount of time the starters did to learn the system, hone his technique, and prove he deserves to start. Yes he has the right to get money. He isn't leaving because of the money. He's leaving because he thinks he should start. If he makes it to the NFL and they don't start him, will you have that same opinion? If he's paid millions to ride the bench and develop, and he wants out because he thinks he should start, will you have the same opinion? When he transitions to becoming a PROFESSIONAL, doesn't get his way, will he behave like this? If he can't take this, HOW do you expect him to take it from the likes of Sharpe, Stephen A., Cowherd, and the rest of the talking heads? If your comment was about the UNLV dude, then I agree with you. If your comment was about Bear, I think it's way off the mark.

[@obi-juantacobi8552]

This isn't about that. Dude played for FIVE high schools Committed UGA Decommitted UGA Committed A&M Decommitted A&M Committed UGA Plays one year behind Jalen Carter, and still got to play in 12 of 15 games as a freshman and was being set up the be the guy, but pitches fits in the locker room and drags people down, when told not to do so: Transfers to USC Plays a year Threatens to transfer this past spring Now this.
