It looks like the sports media can't ignore this anymore. Wouldn't hold out hope for Herbie though.

Don't make me think Kanell is human after all his whining last year with FSU.

They tried to hire him, then the superintendent said no thanks but Connor wouldn't stop showing up. He said he'd do it as a volunteer, they still said no thanks, and he sent them a completely normal 1,500 word email claiming that the superintendent was afraid to meet him in person and that he had control of the media coverage of the scandal.

The best part is him basically threatening to sue the school for firing him "without cause", when he'd never even been employed in the first place

They eyes of a psychopath. Did I read that some high school hired this lunatic to coach for them???

Also this photo gives that Timothy McVeigh vibe. Someone better keep close tabs on this guy, he's going to totally lose it when he realizes he's never going to get a coaching job anywhere.

 

[zbuck]

How did nobody around Stalions not call him on his insane behavior?

Is this from Grow’s Pointe Blank ?

The only good thing that came from TSUN …

The media opinion tide is turning. It's probably because behind closed doors they know what's coming. Remember they kind of tried to brush it off as "good gamesmanship" before?

Lying about being on the CMU sidelines, when it's so obvious to everyone, will discredit everything else he says in the mind of any rational person. This is a PR disaster for scUM.

Don't understand Herbie when it comes to this scandal. There's being a corporate puppet, and there's going out of your way to lick the boots and praise Harbaugh knowing all of this is eventually going to make you look like even more of a fool.

He's looked like a fool for most of the last 25 years. There's no bigger corporate puppet than Herbie.

Anyone taking Stallions at his word at his word to begin with is incredibly stupid (I think the only people doing this of course were the DFBIA so makes sense). Of course a guy who's whole life was Michigan football isn't going to rat out the program.

Now now now you'll make him cry again...

Bloody hell. This guy needs to be on a watchlist. I'm not even being glib.

The fuck?

Also this photo gives that Timothy McVeigh vibe. Someone better keep close tabs on this guy, he's going to totally lose it when he realizes he's never going to get a coaching job anywhere.

Totally. Like I said, watchlist.

Is this from Grow’s Pointe Blank ?

The only good thing that came from TSUN …

It is. I still have a huge crush on Minnie Driver because of that movie.

“With that being said,” Stalions wrote, “am I being fired? If I am being fired, I will need justification for termination in writing.”

Sandoval forwarded Stalions’ email to the superintendent and Meloche, the Berkley principal.

“I’ve never even talked to this guy,” Meloche responded.

The news that Stalions had been working with players for several weeks prompted consternation among the administrators. The blame appeared to fall on Horn, the athletic director.

“(Stalions’) background check was completed last week so if it’s true that he has been interacting with our kids for three weeks, it will be another ding on Taylor,” Sandoval wrote to Meloche.

He's pathetic. His last original tweet was Saturday. Since then, only retweets. Not only is he too scared to address it directly, he can't even deal with comments. I've said it before. He simply doesn't have the intellectual depth to handle the larger, off-field stuff.

Connor Stalions Saw No Wrongdoing in Receiving Footage From Friends of Opposing Sidelines: “Like When Your Aunt Gives You A Christmas Present You Already Have”

Connor Stalions claimed no wrongdoing in his sign-stealing operation despite admitting to receiving footage of opposing sidelines from friends he sent to games.

Connor Stalions Saw No Wrongdoing in Receiving Footage From Friends of Opposing Sidelines: “Like When Your Aunt Gives You A Christmas Present You Already Have”​

For as polarizing a figure as Dave Portnoy can be, the Barstool Sports founder was the central figure of one of the most telling moments in Netflix's look at Connor Stalions.

Untold: Sign Stealer released on Netflix at 3 a.m. on Tuesday, telling Stalions' side of the scandal that rocked college football last year. Roughly midway through, the documentarians are showing Stalions the famed photo of an unidentified staffer on Central Michigan's sideline – who is allegedly Stalions – doing advanced scouting of Michigan State.

Stalions' lawyer, Brad Beckworth, took the neither confirm nor deny approach when asked about the photo. The scene then cut back and forth between Stalions and Portnoy.

"Well, I know the answer to that because he told me," Portnoy said, the "that" in question being whether the photo is of Stalions on Central Michigan's sideline.

It cuts back to Stalions, who looks at the photo with a smirk and a laugh, then cuts to Portnoy again.

"Yeah, that was Connor on the sidelines. That was Connor on the sidelines," Portnoy stated bluntly.

"I don't even think it looks like me," Stalions said after the camera switched back to him one last time.



Such interactions were commonplace for a man who refused to admit he broke any rules while it was dictated exactly how he broke the rules in a 90-minute documentary told from his perspective. Perhaps Stalions' greatest backpedal came when he was hit with questions about why tickets were purchased in his name to more than 30 Big Ten games – including 12 Ohio State games – all around the 50-yard line.

At first, Stalions said he hooked his friends and family up with tickets for fun because they were college football fans, as a Marine Corps friend named Zachary Couzens and his mother claim. Stalions slyly remarks that he supposes he's in trouble for sending his mother to watch a Michigan State game.

The documentary shows evidence that Michigan staffers and non-Michigan coaches were also at games in Stalions' name, a swath of it obtained with the help of Eleven Warriors' own forum poster and vigilante investigator, Brohio, who is decked out in all black with a black mask and orange mirrored sunglasses for his interview.

They key passage:

His only tangible impact on the program, though, will be whatever NCAA sanctions come Michigan’s way. Stalions will almost certainly receive a show-cause order that precludes him from working in college football again anytime soon.

In his mind, though, it was probably all worth it.

“Connor has taken the fall,” Brown said. “He never broke and said anything that ever implicated anyone else. He implicated himself in every way.

“If you think about the soldier falling on the grenade, he definitely did that.”

That's his (and Hairball's) legacy. A soon to be smoldering program who lied, cheated, and stole their way to an ill-gotten championship. Something they couldn't do within the rules. And neither of them will ever work in CFB again, even if they wanted to.

And I like the tacit admission from his lawyer at the end about "falling on the grenade." If there was no wrong doing, what "grenade" do you need to fall on? These idiots keep owning themselves at every turn.

Of course he was afraid to meet him. He's a fucking psycho. Last thing anybody needs is those Manson Lamps glaring back at them.
