South Carolina Pulls Interview with Slurring Steve Spurrier
The South Carolina athletic page has taken down Steve Spurrier's postgame interview from Saturday's 28-25 win over UCF, and reruns of the segment—scheduled to air this week on Fox Sports South—will no longer be shown.
According to Josh Kendall of GoGamecocks.com, Spurrier claims the interview was pulled because he decided it was too negative:
"Liz [McMillan, an employee of IMG College] and Coach Tanner [USC's Athletics Director], we decided we didn’t have to show it after the first time.
I said, "I’m not very happy with all I said on the thing and so forth. Let’s get it off the air." They said, "We don’t have to show it anymore so I said let’s don’t show it because I have to be more positive."
"
However, some thought that Spurrier was slurring his words and sounded drunk.
Here are tweets from two viewers of the show, via Jon Cooper of Saturday Down South:
Though it's no longer airing on the Gamecocks' website or television, this is the Internet age: Once something gets posted, it exists indelibly.
A quick click to YouTube makes it easy to pull up the interview. Spurrier's segments come at 12:00 and 16:40 on the video below:

1) There is really no reason at all to think that Steve Spurrier was drunk.
The argument that Steve Spurrier was drunk relies heavily upon the fact that Spurrier used the word "crap" and that he appeared to slur his words here and there.
"We gotta quit that crap if we're gonna be a good team this year."
That Spurrier described the play of his team in such a manner should come as surprise to no one. In fact, during Tuesday's press conference, he almost used the exact same phrase to characterize the linebacker play.
I asked Coach Botkin if we teach the knockout shot. He said, "No." So I said, "Well you need to get that linebacker to quit doing that crap because it makes us all look pretty stupid."
Are we to believe he was he drunk then, too?
What about when he described Jadeveon Clowney as "pooped" after the UNC game? Or when he said the South Carolina offense was "pooped around" during the second half of the 2012 Georgia game?
As for the slurring, that's much more subjective, but we do know that Spurrier is a 68-year-old man who coached a football game, flew from Orlando, Fla. to Coumbia, S.C., and filmed a television show all in the same day. I think he can be given a pass for being exhausted. But even if his slurring was a result of alcohol consumption, 1) it wa
