Rix Angers Dockett With Sexuality Stories

It’s safe to say that any camaraderie that former Florida State teammates Chris Rix and Darnell Dockett once had has been smashed to pieces.

When Rix called in to “Jay Mohr Sports” recently, the ex-Seminoles QB was asked about Dockett’s humorous tweets to Katherine Webb during the BCS title game. Rix said he found it both funny and surprising before dropping this juicy bit of gossip:

“There were always jokes about Darnell and what his preference was in college, if I might … Let’s just say guys would make fun of Darnell in some unique cases … Let’s just say there were a few stories of, ‘Why is Darnell hanging out at this dude’s house or this guy’s dorm room?’ a little more than you’re used to hanging out at a guy’s dorm room.”

Dockett was not amused, to say the least. This was his since-deleted Twitter response to Rix, who issued an apology between Dockett’s first and second tweets:

  • “F*** you b**** I hear u lying on me , no one liked your sorry ass ever , when I see u im whooping yo ass on everything I love.”
  • “And f*** yo apology p****! Say everything u said on radio in my face!”
  • “I swear I my dead mother @coachrix when I see you that’s your ass! Period! F*** b**** lying on me bobby Bowden didn’t like yo sorry a**!”

Any future Florida State football reunions where both players are present should be interesting. Chris Rix profile | Darnell Dockett profile

    Fire Rix from whatever job he has for bringing this up. Why are sports and the south the last bastion for homophobic Neanderthals?
    Beside, Rix stunk except when playing the Gators.
    Xavier Lee & Chris Rix – the 2 QB signings that precipitated the fall of
    the FSU era of greatness that began when Bob Stoops and a pop gun QB beat us
    down in the BCS title game in 2001. Wienke worst game ever as we were coached
    and played off the field.
    I would like to see Mr. “Christian” Rix make those comments to Dockett’s face. The beat down he would get would be pure joy to watch.

      Hold your horses, he likely never intended to disparage anyone, neither gays nor Dockett. Look, where I grew up, in the Midwest, such comments didn’t even rise to the level of a joke. Among white guys, anyway. He may be the sort of a guy who never picked up on the fact that, in America, black guys always mean that as a taunt, rather than a way of bonding. Dockett is probably right about his personal criticisms of Rix, though. Any QB who is that oblivious to his teammates isn’t worth spit as a leader.
