I just heard this on the radio. I don't know if it was a joke or not but these guys I'm listening to don't typically joke around. But I sure sounds funny. In any case, Brett Favre purportedly had a press conference and said he was happy to stay in Minnesota and was looking forward to next season, but that he wasn't going to play and was going to open a bakery/danish shop.
Ok, that has to be a joke, but if not, remember you heard it hear first.

What was with that tebow ad any way? Why did he tackle his mom? The add didn't make any sense and didn't make it clear what it was an add for. And it made tebow look like even more of a sissy. Yeah, I didn't think much of the ad from an advertising standpoint. But whether intentionally or not, they probably got as much 'bang for their buck' as anyone. They were a topic of discussion in many venues for nearly 2 weeks. But as for the ad itself, it was very, very tame. I would like to extend a cumulative F**K Off to all the critics who lambasted CBS and Focus on the Family leading up to the Super Bowl though. They sure came out loooking like idiots. One of the local guys here made a good point though. It would have been a natural to have his mom pop back up with eye black with a Bible verse after the tackle. In any case, I think the ad itself was pretty much of a "failure" from the marketing success perspective. But the weeks of discussion leading up certainly go their name out there, so I guess they did get their 'money's worth' in a roundabout sort of way.

slow day at the office?
I have to give you an A for effort. At least you tried. You had to try something after getting schooled and totally embarrassed trying to have a real debate in the other thread.

Ironically, it wasn't the ad that many people have listed as their favorite Super Bowl ad however. In fact, that ad, along with the Bette White ad and the Tebow Focus on the Family ad were among the least viewed -- not really surprising, given the time slot. blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/media_entertainment/doritos-super-bowl-spot-was-the-most-watched-ad-of-all-time/That breakdown really does illustrate tendencies. I guess people tend to arrive late -- after kickoff -- and then leave when the game "is over." There was a major drop off after Porter's interception return. I just wonder if they will be able to use this info to charge more for certain time spots or whether it is officially "random," and they charge the same for all spots of the same duration.

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but you did actually bring up all these accusations. All I did was release a coaching change which involved a major college and an NFL team. I'm sure you will have some kind of ficticious rubbish about the author being my illegitimate son or something, but taking that risk: sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=4897073Strangely enough, not one shred of the complete nonsense you suggested was mentioned. I guess you'll just hang your hat on that "internet chat room from Minnesota" reputation. WTF does this have to do with what I questioned? He was mentioned with not one of the recruits I LISTED that mentioned Meyer's role specifically--and you even alluded to the Shariff Floyd comment above--so you are contradicting yourself--AS ALWAYS. I've more then proved my point and this link is about as worthless as the air you are allowed to waste by breathing. At the risk of tarnishing my image as a sound thinker (pausing for obvious jokes ...), I did just finish a poker tourney and decided to check back in. I don't have the time to go into details now, but then again, this won't take long. RDF in some language and structure of his own, wrote: WTF does this have to do with what I questioned? He was mentioned with not one of the recruits I LISTED that mentioned Meyer's role specifically--and you even alluded to the Shariff Floyd comment above--so you are contradicting yourself--AS ALWAYS. You didn't "question" anything, other than maybe your own sexuality ... scratch that ... mods won't allow, and I understand. In all seriousness: "He was mentioned with not one of the recruits I LISTED that mentioned Meyer's role specifically" ... awkward, if not even worse, wording aside, what is your point? Floyd was the key recruit of the oft-repeated story of the "dream." I have said from the very start, that the popular renditions circling around are somewhat strange at the very least. Still, there's nothing approaching the repetitive lies which you have managed to stumble onto. Of course, I would expect as much from someone languishing in a winter in ... nevermind. Seriously though, your most recent post really makes no sense. Read it tomorrow and then try to give us a version which properly conveys your logical thoughts ... if they exist. Since this deals with an entirely different point, I will add this: you even alluded to the Shariff Floyd comment above--so you are contradicting yourself--AS ALWAYSYes ... I mentione Floyd, as you also did. The point was that what Floyd was told by Meyer -- as both your rendition and everyone else's says -- is that Meyer expects to be coaching next year. Where exactly does this rumored "lying" come from? I will ignore the "contradicting" myself as always comment, since we all know that even if you prove every single one of your points .... if you ever make any ... you will still be no better than ...at the very best a pot calling a kettle black. Personally, I don't want to lower myself to kettle level. That being said, I am going to try out the advice that Tommy and Cheech gave me earlier. I'll get back to you later.

Hoyas have an interesting history playing NCAA games in Providence. They went to Finals (obviously) in 1985 and the Elite 8 after starting in PC in 1980 & 1989, but lost their first round game there in 1981. The Princeton game in 1989 was in Providence as well. Given that comments even remotely related to the Gators are akin to leprosy, I will make this short: it is not a secret that the NCAA selection staff mysteriously manages to concoct storylines for the first weekend. And if they could use their crystal balls/ouiji boards effectively, would continue until the Final 4. Of course, they want their Dukes, UNCs, Kansas', etc at that point. But that's not the point. My point is that it wouldn't surprise me to see a Florida team, should they make it, have a path through Providence. Billy D. did help lead the Friars to the Final 4 after all. Also, I haven't looked at the pod system this year ... if it's even determined yet. In any case, if Louisville should get in along with Florida, then I could easily see the powers that be aligning a Pitino-Donovan (with Pitino Jr. on staff) matchup. I will now raise my shields in anticipation of stones .... But I really don't mean any harm.

Greg needs to develop a consistent 15 foot jumper, too, for the next level. I totally agree. And I think that he needs at least one more, if not even two more years to perfect the skill.

Huh!?! You score 29 points (including a 3 pointer) pull down 14 boards and make four blocks against the #5 team in the country that went to the /final Four last year and you are struggling. I wish I could struggle like that everyday. I hope he stays next year too but this is a story that was written before the Nova game and the intro had to be reworked to make it sound plausible. In fairness to Jay "cheatin'" Wright's group, they were actually #3 at the time. But how was Greg supposed to know that?

Very happy with Chris' performance the last TWO games. He got in foul trouble against 'Nova, but he was playing a guard-heavy team that was just throwing bodies all over the place. For the most part, I didn't see him try to force things or make it a personal game with Scottie (the unnecessary flying 3-shot foul in the corner excepted). Even his last foul was not so much his fault as it was the refs for missing the foul against 'Nova on the move before Chris went over the back on Scottie.
I'm glad you mentioned that. I had almost forgotten since everything turned out ok. That play in the Nova game was ridiculous. I think that even calling Chris for the "over the back" is a stretch. It could easily have been a loose ball foul/push/body check ... but given the framework the stripes had laid out, .... that was a terrible call. I can honestly say that I was very apprehensive after that call, with something like 6+ minutes left. But like I said before, all's well that ends well.

Maybe they think they lose all their games at the line? They do lose a lot of games. Ooh, that's not nice. Good thing that doesn't matter. I don't think they really thought about "this game" in particular. But in their "defense," it is easy to have selective memory. Good thing for me that I have outgrown that flaw. I have plenty more to work on. I missed almost all of the game with Family Movie night, but I did have the small screen on ESPN, giving me ticker updates. Dang it ... couldn't do better than that here ... well, at least while keeping peace on the homefront. But all's well that ends well.

Obviously, I wasn't there, but from the TV shots, I was amazed how large the crowd seemed to be, given the bitter weather and the fact that much/all of the public transportation was shut down. Once they were there however, there's no doubt that the crowd would be up for Nova. Well done guys!

Hifi--if you think III would pull the same stunts as Meyer and I'd support it--you obviously know nothing about me. Numerous posters who are here would support this--whether they find me abrasive or enjoy the things I say--they know I jump all over people for being liars, hypocrites, and most of all primadonna sacks of excrement who use kids to their advantage and hide behind things. Meyer is everywhere after his "illness" that was going to put him out of coaching--and tells recruits he's "fine--but will take a little time off" and you talk of him as if he was on a death bed.
If you're saying that you wouldn't allow JTIII the latitude on the hypothetical that I gave, then fair enough. I would. Until it happens, we can both stand on our own word. Meyer is "everywhere" after his illness. Well, I won't deny that, but that is the exact same thing we would say about Favre, Katrina, Ben Roethlisberger's motorcycle accident a couple of years back or T.O.'s added attention from the off-season several years back. The point is that the media will talk about what it wants to do. Personally, I thought the Roethlisberger story was the biggest "non-news" of the bunch. OK, I get it. He wrecked his bike, and had serious but not life-threatening injuries to rehab from. Move on. Lastly, yes he did tell recruits AND EVERYONE ELSE that he expected to be coaching next year, but that he needed some time off to take care of health issues. SO WHAT? Now if you want to call him out for being "soft," then that's one thing. And like I said before, I can understand people haveing a negative view toward someone who needs a break because of the stress of his job, when he's making 4 million to "just" coach football. I get that. But again, there's no hint of lying. Lastly, I have no idea why you think I said anything like him being on his "death bed."
I've gone after Jim Calhoun, Jim Valvano, Satan--only a TRUE Hoya fan knows who that is, Calipari, Josh "Boy Blunder" Pastner, etc.......and will always do so. Hypocrites and people who use other people disgust me. Lying disgusts me. Thing is--I NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT JT III doing what Meyer did--because he wouldn't do so. Georgetown doesn't operate like that and doesn't tolerate people who get arrested and act like idiots off the court--and it's not talked about to be a "good person"--that is EXPECTED. Coach had his wife suffering through a battle with CANCER--you know a real disease and nobody knew about it for the longest time--why is that? Meyer CREATED all of the attention based on.......nobody knows. Could be chest pains from stress--could be gas from inhaling some of the Tebow flatulents and combining it with some of your local stash, I really don't give a CRAP because it was MADE UP GARBAGE that has no substantial proof--other then numerous things that I've posted--again for those who don't deem this to be factual support:
I will ignore the obvious rubbish. As for JTIII, it is totally illogical to dismiss a hypothetical as "not having to worry about it ... JTIII would never do ..." That defeats the point of the question. As for the chest pains, sure there are a lot of things that can cause that. What was it? I don't know and you don't either. If it was just "gas," then the doctors are the ones whe screwed up, not me or you. Finally, again you say it was made up garbage. Ummm, I've asked before: where is your evidence of such? All you have done is give proof that what he said was accurate. In your own words: Meyer tells recruits he's fine--and needs a little time off but will be there to coach them. That's what he told everyone. How is that lying?
Finally:
1. Said he was leaving/resigning
Yes, he said he was resigning and then the next day said that after talking to his family, some doctors and Jeremy Foley, he's going along with the suggestion to take an indefinite leave of absence.
2. Scheduled a PC--and it was a Florida love in filled with nothing about Meyer at all being sick
I'm not sure what the point of this is. If you are talking about the first press conference, it was simply to make the initial announcement. If you are talking about the second, then it was to make the announcement that after talking to important people in his life, he had reconsidered and will take an indefinite leave of absence. Yes, he did mention that the feedback and dedication that the team had in a tumultuous time influenced him as well. So what? Once again, nothing you say supports lying. At worst, it supports criticism of how the issue was handled.
3. Then changed to leave of absence
And? We all know that. Certainly not a lie there
4. Meyer coaches Bowl Game-
Yes, so? That was the plan all along after the second press conference. No lie there.
5. Meyer Recruits
This is the only grey area. They didn't give specific details as to what would happen after the Sugar Bowl. But you could argue that one interpretation was that Meyer was leaving and having nothing to do with the program after the Sugar Bowl. I think that execises a lot of interpretive freedoms, but someone could make that case. In any case, Meyer toned his recruiting down dramatically. He was 24/7 recruiting in past years. He was on the road all the time that rules allowed. He wasn't this year. He designated a lot more responsibilities to his assistants. In any case, it would only be a lie if he knew that he was going to recruit but led on otherwise. Like I asked before: why would anyone do that? There would be NOTHING in it for him or the program. 6. Meyer tells recruits he's fine--and needs a little time off but will be there to coach themp
I don't know exactly what words were used, but he always said that he expected to be coaching the Gators next season, he just had a few issues to deal with. No lie here. In fact, as I pointed out, that's exactly what he told everyone. 7. Meyer tells Shariff Floyd "I had a dream you were a Gator and you are someone I'd risk my health to coach".
I've heard that. I don't know if it's a little exaggerated or not. In any case, I think it's kind of corny, but nothing to throw anyone under the bus about. 8. Meyer doesn't tell any recruits George Edwards--who was a LB Coach for Chan Gailey in NFL with Dallas is going to be his DC--even though it had be known for week/half prior to Signing Day.
This is one that I was concerned about. The timing certainly looked suspicious. However every single party involved denies any serious negotiations, let alone a agreement before signing day. Additionally, the fact that Edwards worked with Gailey in Miami and had just been hired made his interest in Edwards obviously legitimate. Additionally, there was only 1 player who could seemingly be impacted by the events -- the linebacker from Atlanta -- I think his name is Taylor. He didn't have Florida as a leader until after Edwards was hired. Then his interest seemed to change. Beyond that, it is speculation. In any case, you speak as the exact opposite of what eveyone says is gospel How do you expect us to view such obvious contradictions? Are we supposed to accept you ... some internet chat room guy from Minnesota, or what everyone involved on all sides confirms? Sorry, but your credibility is a bit lacking.
Did you not bring up Meyer's "good buddy" Skip Prosser?--I never mentioned it--and didn't see how it mattered--but you did to divert from topic. Meyer has lied and I don't like liars/wafflers. Should know that since you spend so much time here and waste so much time of people here, but then again it takes a comprehension beyond someone of your stature and the ability to understand that despite your allegiance--sometimes good coaches--even great coaches are scumball people who like their ego stroked--especially after they are depressed.
I did mention Prosser. Meyer did not mention him -- at least to my knowledge -- in December or since. But I do remember him having some public comments many months ago. Meyer never claimed -- at least to my knowledge -- to have factored that into his decision. Personally, I think that when you have incidents like Meyer had, and when a colleague has gone through what Prosser did so recently, it would make sense that maybe he did get a sort of "wake up call." But like I said, I have never heard Meyer mention it in this context. No lie here. As for depression, I'm not a doctor. Can depression cause such pains? Probably. Would that change the verdict however? I think not. I don't think that "stress" and "depression" are so drastically different. In any case, if "depression" was diagnosed as "stresss," then that's no reason to call out Meyer. Nope, no lie here.
So go back to the Swamp, "handle business" to Tebow years while you smoke a fatty, and volunteer to lance the boil on Meyer's ass--because the amount of time I have for this FABLE is over with. The man is truly ill--if he's faking an illness or as you and his cult feel "is sick" and putting his career and football ahead of his family-either way-he's a symbol for being a RICHARD-head and the type of leader that people like you deserve.
All obvious pre-adolescent drivel aside, the obvious issue was that maybe Meyer had been putting football first, ahead of health and family. He is obviously trying to find a balance. Can he? I don't know. A lot of the legitimate criticisms are that he "can't" go, unless he is going full speed. I do think that is a legitimate concern, but I don't know. In any case, there is no lie here.
The bottom line is this: you have not one single time given ANY evidence of even one lie, much less the repetitive pattern you imagine in your own little world. Maybe you're the one with the wacky tobaccy. Furthermore, every single thing I have said is logical. Any sane individual would understand that logical progression of events, even if they themselves might act differently. Ironically, the only thing of "relevance" you said were your elementary insults of me. Congratulations. Next time when you get in a debate, you might want to get your facts straight though.

"We" are all in this one together against Providence. If'n the Hoyas and Gators square off in March, we'll be partin' companies. Until that point, we both want the same thing. Austin probably wants the Longhorns to win and I'm betting Tiger pulls for Clemson as well. But tonight, Go Hoyas!

We're not getting anywhere, but you are making it easier to point out why I question what you say.
It has nothing to do with being a Miami fan--it has to do with issues of lying and misleading players. Meyer's done that. What the EXPLETIVE was the Press Conference for?
The point that you are a Miami fan is only relevant insofar as to indicate a predisposition to be more critical. That doesn't mean it is the sole source of your disdain, but it clearly factors in to a degree. Secondly, and most importantly, you insist on traveling down this "lying" path. Again, where are all of these perpetual lies you keep speaking of? Finally, the press conference was to announce his resigning. Upon further reflection and upon being convinced by others, he decided to give a leave of absence a shot. I still have no idea why the hell you think this not to be the truth. I understand that things could have been tidier. Maybe he was a bit rash in originally announcing his resignation. I wouldn't argue that. Maybe there should have been more going on behind closed doors. I wouldn't argue that. But the idea that it was a complete fabrication simply makes ZERO ... understand this much is not in debate ... your idea of complete fabrication makes ZERO sense.
Even the National Media has questioned the "I love Florida--Florida loves Me" Presser Meyer conducted. Either you are too sick/stressed to coach or you are not. Either you are leaving or you are not.
He was intending on leaving permanently, but was conviced to make the sabatical temporary.
He's done nothing to dismiss my point-and your "defense" consists of me trying to discredit him because I support a team in a different conference? I hate Florida and I HATE YOU but that has nothing to do with my point.
You haven't made a friggin point That's what you don't understand. You throw out the term "liar" as you have in the past, but fall well short of making a point. Calling him a liar isn't making a point. At least your last sentence there finally makes a point: you hate Florida and you hate me. Fair enough, but that has nothing to do with the topic.
I'm the first to pile on Miami here--and I support them-so how in the hell is this even an issue? Randy Shannon is a mediocre coach imo--but he's not lying to his players or recruits about his health to gain an advantage or sympathy and Shannon's personal life is filled with hell.
Once again, you say absolutely nothing here. You once again throw out claims of lying and offer no support. I will take your word as to Shannon's life. I know very little about it, but it is totally irrelevant in this discussion.
I think Tebow is a tool but supported his commercial last night because he has that right to voice his opinion. Didn't think it was that "controversial" either. He went to Florida.
I totally agree with this statement and that is what I said all along when the "controversy" first broke. I was urging all the critics to see the ad first before casting a stone and passing judgment. In fact on my segment on the air yesterday, I got to gloat a bit by pointing that very fact out and then offered up, for all those critics who were so quick to lambaste someone for something they didn't know anything about, a cumulative BLANK off!" I said I couldn't fill in the blank, but that it rhymed with what they play hockey with.
Meyer is a liar. He talks of conducting a first class program and being "above the fray" yet 30 something players have been arrested during his time. Why did Floyd, Powell, Brown, and Elam all say that "Nothing will change--he's not going anywhere--his health is fine--he needed a break but will be back by Spring Practice".
Again, you call Meyer a liar, yet conspicuously you once again fail to explain how. As for the overally program, I admit that we have had more off the field issues than I would like. There's no denying that. What can be said is how those issues were handled. We don't ignore problems and hope they will go away, nor do we give offending players a slap on the wrist like making them run after practice a bit more like certain other programs. Finally, Meyer certainlly can't be accused of lying related to your last statement. He has been consistent from the very day the leave of absence was announced. He intends to coach the University of Florida. There are some health issues that need to be examined. Obviously this might include a scaled back coaching regimen. It has been highly speculated that Meyer will designate special teams coaching to another assistane. Urban has been the special teams coordinator since the beginning. In any case, there's no lying going on here for sure. Meyer expects to be coaching the University of Florida and the players expect him to be coaching the University of Florida. Umm ... not much room for "lying" there.
Look-I didn't announce he was leaving--he did. I didn't have a Press Conference that was basically a "UF love in" and served what purpose? He's got chest pains--that can be GAS you ignorant hillibilly. The claims of him gaining 20 lbs while conducting one of his numerous interviews was fascinating--since he looks exactly the same as he did other then disgusted with his team getting beaten by a better team that day.
More of the same. Sure, chest pains can be a lot of things. Understood. But this wasn't a one time incident. He had a history of similar incidents. How severe were each of them? I don't know. Did they get progressively worse or were they more random in severity? I don't know. What we do know was that the latest episode struck a nerve so to speak. I still think that his friendship with Prosser also factored into his initial decision, but to what degree I don't know. Finally, you are nuts if you deny the difference in his appearance. Several had commented on his almost gaunt look long before we heard anything serious and WAY before the press conferences.
It's just a pathetic ploy that has been executed by a slimeball of a human being and just hope he gets what he deserves for using illness as a diverson/motivation whatever it was--but dragging in the Skip Prosser excuse is even more sick. If he was a friend and you are seriously at risk with your health and ignore it--what does this say? Every point you are trying to use as "support" to counter my facts and points is just making my case for me.
What kind of twisted sense of reality do you live in? Why do you find it so hard to believe that someone could change their mind? Is that an ideal gameplan? No, but that's not the question. Why do you find it so hard to understand that someone might realize that maybe they were too hasty? Why do you find it so hard to believe that given more thought and consideration, someone might decide that a leave of absence might be effectivve? Lastly, I presume you are ramiliar with the term a "wake up call." That is sort of how I think his association with Prosser could have factored in. When you combine the chest pains and the serious health issues which could accompoany them with a recent personal experience such as the Prosser tragedy, it makes perfect sense that someone might step back and say "wait a minute, I'd better give this some thought." Similarly, it also makes perfect sense that even after resigning, additional conversations and thoughts on the matter might have led to a change of mind. I really don't understand why you would try to argue that point.
Keep it up--and yes I do like Miami Hurricane Football-and how that factors in when the Hurricane program is nowhere near the level of Florida right now and with this issue is beyond me? I would think any coach who uses illness as a diverson and creates a story that has no evidence of fact and nothing has changed minus a "mini vacation"-is warranted of being bashed.
Again, you throw out a bunch of speculative fodder, claiming it as fact. No one, except you, thinks that Meyer made up the entire story as a diversion. There would be ZERO reason to do that. All that would do would be to make recruiting much more difficult. As to whether a mini-vacation, as you call it will prove to be the theraputic treatment necessary, we can only hope. From my personal experience, I can certainly attest to the benefits of "getting away" for awhile. We only take one 10 day vacation a year, but it is very much needed. Even if we spend the majority of it sleeping in, hanging out by the pool and watching some TV, we come back much more rested and ready for the grind to begin again. Questioning such affects seems really bizarre, even for you.
Like me or don't--one thing people can't say about me is that I play "favorites". I have plenty of people I cannot stand who play for teams I support or issues that have taken place where I am more then willing to attack their character or lack of it. So quit trying to play that pile of dogFECES as a "defense" of your beloved scumball of a human being football coach.
That's total hogwash and you know it. If JTIII were to have a nervous breakdown and were to announce his resignation, only to announce the next day that he had talked to his family and to the athletic director, and that he was going to take an indefinite leave of absence, and hopefully, if all goes well, to return to coach the Hoyas next season, I certainly wouldn't have any problem with it, and would wish him the best. I'm thinking you would too, but you insist on saying otherwise. Either way, to use your cockeyed view to suggest that JTIII was just making up the whole thing for his own personal benefit is screwy. BUt then again, so are you.

In all fairness Brasky, I don't really like the site either. I've said many times if it wasn't for Gator news, I would never buy a Gainesville Sun again. The paper sucks out loud and in its case, calling it a "mullet wrapper" is an insult to week old mullet.

I just heard on the radio that Alonzo Mourning turns 40 today. Happy Birthday to a class act! I was so glad when the Heat won that title several years back. Hat's off to a fine representative of the Hoya Nation!
