@ "I'm Craig James bitch!"

They've finally turned the corner. ESPN has converted from reporting on stories (some of which were false) to actually manufacturing their own news. God help us.

This just in: upon being fired, Mike Leach accused Mike Sherman of living off campus with an A&M coed.

He was taken out of context.

I think James is still doing just fine with the bank he earned at SMU. He can afford it.

Post from the TT Scout board...

"Craig James has now helped kill two football programs."

Craig why do you hate Texas universities?! :(

Welcome to 2003. If you run faster you can join us in 2010 in a couple more days.

It's funny enough to be worth repeating.

Interesting, tho', that the same attorney who flub-mumbled his way through his ESPIN interview yesterday apparently showed up in cut-offs & a Hawaiian flowered shirt for the hearing today. Kinda makes me wonder: if his choice of attorney is a reflection of Leach's judgment, maybe he could have poor enough decision-making skills to have commited the acts he's accused of. :)

I get the feeling some people are just horribly uncomfortable if they know they're going to be in front of a bunch of people on TV...that, or the guy hasn't seen a courtroom or argued a case in 25 years since making partner.

Mike has a very good lawyer - he will be just fine.

I say we hire him as the next OC for the Buckeyes:pirate1:

Not only is TT complicit in this but Leach has an argument against ESPIN for their rampant sensationalizing of this story and the conflict of interest they have demonstrated by allowing themselves to become the James' family official forum.

@ "I'm Craig James bitch!"

Shouldn't it be "It's Craig James, bitch!"?

How's Hawaii doing post June Jones?

Funny you brought up Hawaii. UH's current head coach worked for Leach as a DC. He is also getting a lot of heat over here for the lack of offensive production since JJ left.

Dead on - everybody plays the entire game, the boys and the girls play on the same team, don't keep score because the losers will feel inadequate, don't enforce the rules if they lead to unfair results, don't instruct the kids if it hurts their feelings ... soccer is so anti-American in so many ways.

have you guys ever been on a soccer field before? your post does not describe the game i grew up playing.

Shouldn't you be rolling around on the ground in obvious (and fake) pain?

I'm watching ESPN now, and they are just absolutely trying to bury Leach. They have yet to question anything the James family has said, and take every opportunity to say that Leach locked a concussed kid in a closet with a serial killer. Journalism my ass.

I'm not watching e!spn, but let me just say I am shocked...shocked!...that they're not looking at both sides. Fuck that "network".

This is far from the first time they've "created" their news.

Ooooooh, cheap shot. Let me wave a Post-It in your face. Take THAT, unruly soccer-player!
