    There's no shame in losing to Army. There is shame in not bothering to get off the bus against them.

    It happens to everybody. There's more shame in overreacting and firing a coach after two years because of it. 

    It doesn't make sense. Maybe there's more to the story.

    It wasn't just the media, though - that was a self-inflicted problem, a comedy of errors that she allowed to spin out of control due to a combination of hubris, paranoia and her shocking ineptitude as a politician. Hillary Clinton did everything she could have done to make the email story seem as bad as possible. And as it turned out, it was disqualifying. 

    That seems a little extreme. How should she have handled it? What could she have done to minimize the outrage from a public that had been exposed to assaults on her character for a quarter century? I know people who still won't acknowledge that the Clintons didn't have Vince Foster killed. What would've countered that prejudice?

    I watched some of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 11/9 last night

    Was that the sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11?

    Oh, right. I haven't seen that one.

    I think Schiano's agent has been playing a lot of people in the media. He's mentioned for almost every head coaching job (see Miami yesterday) and nothing every materializes. He doesn't even end up on the short list of candidates (like Temple with the above names the local media listed). 

    For a guy that's wanted by every school with opening you would think there would be more verification that he even interviewed for some of these jobs. 

    I never heard any talk about him connected to the Miami job. That change only just happened. Knee-jerk tweets by dipshits in the national sports media about it don't count.

    I don't think Russo has much clue what's going on in these coaching searches. Orlando and Schiano were just random names thrown out there. I haven't seen anything from the local media that says they ever interviewed or had serious interest. 

    He was throwing out the idea of Miami hiring Schiano yesterday which made little to no sense. 

    Russo mentioned Foley and Francis Brown in another tweet. Diaz, Elko, Don Brown, Francis Brown, and Foley were the names the local media focused on during the initial search. Unless things take a dramatic shift I bet the next hire comes from that group. 

    Schiano wouldn't interview for the job unless it was just a formality before giving him the job. He's busy preparing for a bowl game. Temple would be dealing with his agent. (Just heard on the radio that Marvin Lewis got fired by the Bengals.)

    From the talk in the local media, the interest in Schiano was real and Schiano's people were listening.

    Just did a quick check of tweets regarding ISIS. First they were "totally eradicated", then on 12/22 they were "largely defeated", and today they are "mostly gone". It's hard to keep all these details straight. 

    Just a few dead-enders.

    There is no reason to believe that UM is going to overtake or even get close to OSU because Urban left.  Day is probably going to run a more aggressive/innovative offense than Urban. 

    If he doesn't do anything to fix the defense, that won't matter. Sure, they scored 62 on Michigan. That's great. But they gave up 39 points. And that was one of their better performances. Wholesale changes need to be made to the defensive coaching staff or Day's tenure as head coach at OSU might be short. 

  8. He had his shot on second down there at the end. His receiver was open but he threw it inside. Throw it outside and the guy makes the catch for a first down in FG range.

    It would've been a great ending if the Browns could've pulled it out. The shots of the players and fans watching on the big screen at Heinz Field were pretty cool. I'm not a Pittsburgh fan but it would've been fun to watch the celebration if the Browns had won, especially coming at the expense of the Ravens

    Any coach with any pedigree should probably tell UH to go fuck themselves and tell them their loud mouth president and their actions is why they are being told to go fuck themselves.

    They fired a coach with a winning record after two years on the job. They shouldn't expect to hire a replacement who has options. They'll probably have to settle for a retread.

    Maybe they should call Bret Bielema. 

  10. It still blows my mind that in four years of Harbaugh's tenure at UM he hasn't recruited an elite QB. He's had five different starters at the position, two of them transfers, and they all suck. Jake Rudock, the grad transfer from freaking Iowa in Harbaugh's first year, may have been the best of the lot. 

    I figured Jim would probably sign the #1 ranked pro-style QB in the nation in his first or second year by telling them he recruited and developed Andrew Luck and that he'd do the same for them. Heading into 2019 he should have an experienced senior QB who's on everyone's Heisman watch list. With his history at SDSU, Stanford, and the 49ers, how could he not recruit some golden boy from California to run his offense? Especially with USC being down. Has there been no stud from Mater Dei available? 

    I'm not complaining. But I am scratching my head. I don't get it.

    This would be a dumb move. 

    6 weeks ago, I would say “This makes sense.”, but after watching the Browns since Gregg Williams & the QB Coach became the OC, I would think that even the Browns would know better than to “fix” the best coaching setup that they’ve had in decades. 

    It's like you've never followed the Browns at all. 

  12. Also, of course the troll thinks truth and comedy don't go together. 

    Ever heard the expression: "The greatest truths are said in jest" or "It's funny because it's true?" Satire is high comedy and it's based in truth. Its power lies in its ability to reveal essential truths about our existence. 

    Chrispy probably gets off on low comedy. Racist jokes and bathroom humor. No thinking involved.

    It is aggravating having to hear government workers whine and moan about a 10 day shutdown.  I wish they would stop.

    I wish there was no money to be made in your line of work.
