ESPN (A bunch of Death-Spiraling maroons)

[LovelandBuckeye]

I was watching The Sports Reporters to see how they discussed the Miami scandal.

MIke Lupica - "You know when people are gonna believe that the NCAA really wants to police itself? When the President of Ohio State gets fired for this, okay. I think Donna Shalala's a good person, it's impossible for me to believe that she's like Claude Rains in Casablanca, going 'I'm shocked to discover that gambling is going on.' This bedbug, Shapiro, is hanging around their program, has access to everybody and everything at the University of Miami, and did they think the kids were just hanging around with him cause he's a good guy? No. So, ... the coaches, the general managers, that phony Paul Dee (who was gonna smartmouth USC when they got into trouble), this happened on his watch, too. So until athletic directors, college presidents lose their jobs, until we stop punishing the kids for doing what kids do , which is looking for something to go on top of room and board, nothing is gonna change. But this sport is killing itself."

After it was mentioned that Shapiro led Miami out of the tunnel twice:

Lupica - "I'm surprised he didn't get to dot the 'i' at Ohio State."

John Saunders, summarizing the list of recent offenders, mentioned USC, Oregon and Auburn, then said:

"Ohio State loses their head coach, Jim Tressel, a guy who won a national championship - they may have to give that back".
------------------------------------------------------------------------
End of actual quotes form the show.

So Gordon Gee deserves to lose his job because a few guys got some free tattoos, but Donna Shalala is a 'good person' who's not like Claude Rains in Casablanca despite Shapiro having access to everybody and everything at Miami.

Because Shapiro's a slimeball, it would be appropriate for tOSU to have him dot the 'i'.

And despite no LOIC or 'failure to monitor' at tOSU, the Buckeyes may have to give back a national championship from the 2002 season.

Got it, ESPN. Anybody who thinks that your show is about 'sports reporting', and that your talking heads have any degree of objectivity is simply kidding themselves.

After explaining the situation to the Misses I read your quotes to her. Her response was priceless.

"WTF is wrong with them (ESPN)?"

This is at least the second time that Saunders insinuated that OSU may have to give back the 2002 title, the other being shortly after USC lost theirs last month.

You've exposed me. Now I can skip this week's psychoanalysis.

Please continue providing your outstanding notes from ESPN so the rest of us don't have to watch and therefore give them money.

I'm waiting for BSPN to find a connection between Nevin Shapiro and Terrelle Pryor.

Terrelle Pryor plays football.
Nevin Shapiro likes hanging around football players.

Do the math, LJB. If it's unclear, ask Tom Beaver.

You forgot one thing. OJ Simpson also played football. You see the connection?

Yep. Death penalty is the only solution.

Uh, would that be for ESPiN or whom?

"Let's see, what to do today? Hmm ...

"Oh, I know. I think I'll turn on ESPN so I can work myself into a lather of righteous indignation."

Who needs ESPN? BP seems to do just fine instilling you with self-righteousness.

"Oh, I know. I think I'll click on an ESPN thread on BuckeyePlanet so I can work myself into a lather of righteous indignation."

:p

You forget that BKB is OJ Simpson...

:p

Clearly you mistake amusement for indignation. :)

We'll excuse it this time.

Hell, we'll excuse it anytime. You want Door #2?

yesterday Cowherd was talking about the 26,27,60 rule for QB success in the nfl. at least 26 college starts, at least 27on wonderlick, >60% completion rate.

He kept saying that TP was a low wonderlick guy so he probably wouldn't succede. If the 27 wonderlick score is true, I wonder if he will revise his position. It is funny how people charecterize him as a huge dumbass when he was actually one of the smarter players to come through here in awhile. That is what is so frustrating about how things ended up. Same with MoC. I remember reading he had a 1200+ on SAT and was an A-/B+ student.

Yeah, they're both smart enough to realize the NCAA is a fucking sham.

Not sure about the SAT, but I can assure you that the grades are incorrect information.
