Awesome @JemeleHill piece on Lane Kiffin: Don’t Hate The Playa…

Filed under: NCAA Football, Southern Cal — Tags: , , , , , , — webadmin @ 2:28 pm


 

I’m going to bring the real, which probably will irritate those naive college football fans who still cling to the notion that college football stands for something pure and innocent.

I don’t have a bunch of hateful adjectives for Kiffin. Instead, I’d like to thank him, because with this bold — albeit shady — move, Kiffin has confirmed what a cesspool big-time college sports have become.

It ain’t nothin’ but a hustle, folks.

I’m not mad at Kiffin. He’s just pimping a corrupted system that has made someone with his paper-thin coaching résumé a big get for a tradition-rich school like USC. I have no idea whether Kiffin can coach, since he has half as many NCAA secondary violations (six) as he does career wins (12).

What I do know is that Kiffin is not only arguably the greatest self-promoter in sports, but also an extremely gifted salesman. If you combine those traits with the colleges’, universities’ and fans’ often shameless pursuit of victories — to the extent that integrity and character don’t really matter — then it should come as no surprise that Kiffin is able to job-hop at such a dizzying rate with virtually no consequences.

You know what they say: Don’t hate the playa; hate the game.

Other than watching my alma mater, I’ve already given up on major college athletics because of the outright hypocrisy. It was probably already there but took me a while to see it. Much like Wall Street, they are playing us for our allegiances. And they need to be allowed to fail. We need an alternative minor league that will pay players and give them the exposure that playing D1 football does. Same thing for basketball.

The NCAA peddles this altruistic vision of education as the only payment for while their coaches drain state coffers for $12m contracts. They prevent players from using their fame – but only in high profile embarassing situations – like some kit at Deion Sanders’ house or someone complaining about Reggie Bush’s parents welching on a deal. Yet Michael Beasley and John Wall’s AAU coaches are getting cushy jobs that no one seems to care about. Hello??

The NCAA is a fucking joke.

Former Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis, the offensive coordinator for all three of New England’s Super Bowl titles last decade, could be Kansas City’s next offensive coordinator, according to Sports Illustrated.

Our View:He worked with Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli while in New England, and head coach Todd Haley while with the Jets. Weis has also been rumored to be a legitimate candidate for Chicago’s opening at offensive coordinator. It looks like he’ll be back on NFL sidelines for sure next season.

visiting teams should beware of extra cameras filming them

SEC Referee Tackles South Carolina QB

Filed under: NCAA Football, SEC, Video — Tags: , , , , , , , — webadmin @ 1:34 pm


 

Wow – Apparently this guy was a former player back in the 60’s and had a flashback or something.

After looking at it, you can’t really say he was trying to get out of the way. He delivered a forearm shiver! Especially since this the game was close. this guy should be fired if he has any affiliation to LSU.

Notre Dame Drinking Irish



 

Ahhh – you gotta love it. Deadspin taking it to that fraud Charlie Weiss who’s entire career was built on illegal sign stealing. Basically college football’s version of Cyrano. Now he allefedly doesn’t want to talk about his star quarterback being photoed drinking … IN A BEER OLYMPICS … while underage. A red flag not for the drinking, but for the fact that this idiot posed for one of several pictures – and at an institution that prides itself on being holier than thou (literally).

Jimmy Clausen Beer Olympics: Charlie Weis Would Not Like To Discuss The Beer Olympics, Thank You

Q. Not going to be any discipline?
COACH WEIS: Let’s move on on.

Now, here’s the thing: If this were any other coach you might be able to give him credit for protecting his players from these types of questions and prolonging the “controversy.” But Charlie Weis is, for all intents and purposes, is just an absolute prick. According to several people who’ve had the displeasure of dealing with him on a professional level, he’s the most unhelpful, paranoid person, who, for whatever reason carries himself with such an air of entitlement, you’d think his lunchmeat-stuffed body was able to levitate.

But what makes this particular response so disingenuous is the fact that Weiss will cloak himself in self-righteousness when its convenient for him (i.e. Dana Jacobson) and can praise himself for not recruiting a bunch of “hoodlums and thugs” yet he can sit there and stonewall a reporter on a pretty legitimate question about the possible ramifications from this incident? All he had to say was, “We’re looking into it” or “It’s still being investigated and I’ll keep you updated as soon as I hear something.” Instead they get “Let’s move on.”

At the next press conference the first question a reporter should ask Weis is this: Charlie, exactly how full of shit and under-qualified are you?

Let’s move on.

Oh “Not Nice” Charlie Weiss – when will you acknowledge that you suck? will it take Notre Dame going 0-12? If so – count me among the many that will be cheering for that to happen this year. GO TEAM!
