For those of you sports minded fellas (and ladies),
You may have heard the news about Alabama football coach Mike Price, who was fired from UA on Saturday before even coaching one game because of "unprofessional conduct" which included a trip to a strip club in Pensacola, FL during a pro-am golf tournament and a $1000 room service bill charged to his room by a woman (I'm assuming NOT his wife) who was staying in his hotel room.
Not all the details are out yet, but Price had apparently been previously warned by the new UA president about his public behavior which apparently included some all night parties with his coaches at Tuscaloosa bars.

Now mind you, NO crime was commited here. If he had put the bill for these expenditures on the university's tab, I could perhaps see reason for this extreme measure. But why pretell should it be the university's concern what the man does on his own free time with his own money. I mean ARRGGGHH.

Sounds to me like the UA president is just some holier than thou moron. I'd hate to be in his shoes if Price's replacement doesn't do well, particluarly at a school where football is a stated tradition.
It's when I see shit like this that I'm glad that I'm just a "joe lunchpail" who doesn't have wither in shame for my trips to strip clubs and be concerned that someone might spot me and rat me out, which kind of makes me wonder for you guys who hit the clubs while you're out of town on business. Could your company sanction you if they ever found out about your trips, and might be bringing the good name of the organization down with your "unprofessional" behavior, even on your own time with your own money?
