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.

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!

Man, perhaps he could have waited a day or two for the Favre love-in to die down so he could get his proper due rather than being a footnote in the NFL Notebook:
Brett Favre’s retirement naturally overshadowed a bunch of other moves in the NFL on Tuesday, including one of his nemeses leaving the game.
The iconic Green Bay quarterback’s decision to stop playing after 17 seasons, an unprecedented three MVP awards and a slew of passing records sent the official retirement of Warren Sapp to the back burner.
Sapp’s 13-year NFL career officially ended when his retirement was posted on the Oakland Raiders’ Web site. Sapp said immediately after last season that he was through playing, but did not file the paperwork.
The posting on the team’s site was the first official word that the star defensive tackle was done.
In January, Sapp, 35, posted a two-word message on his Web site: “I’M DONE!” He had told teammates and coaches his plans after the season finale against San Diego.
Although a nasty personal disposition and questionable press relation skills, he was still one of the nastiest defenders to come from The U and in the hey day of the Tampa Defensive domination, was one of their big 3, along with John Lynch and Derrick Brooks. The quintessential 3-technique defensive tackle. His Raiders teams left a lot to be desired, but their defenses were nothing to sneeze at. Besides, Oakland is now the NFL’s arm pit, where good careers go to die.
QB Killa, Indeed.

Normally this would be funny. But because it’s Duke and everyone loves to hate Duke (including me) it rises to hilarious. You can cheat the refs, but you can’t cheat gravity:
… the opportunity to wonder if all the paranoia about officiating heavily favoring the Blue Devils at home is really true. If you’re a conspiracy theorist, you might want to get your hands on tape of last night’s game. Georgia Tech didn’t take a free throw until the final 10 minutes. Folks, that isn’t easy to do.
But the unintentional highlight of the night came when the Duke mascot did its usual rolling surf board trick in the first half — and proceeded to fall off and eventually limp off the court, as Fayetteville Observer beat writer Dan Wiederer pointed out so eloquently.
It isn’t right to laugh at someone’s misfortune like that, but at some point, you have to ask yourself — How bright is it for a person wearing a giant mascot head on their noggin to be pulling that stunt over and over?

Just when you thought Bobby Petrino had outslimed Saban, Saban reclaims the throne!
Sources close to University President Mike Garrison have informed WBGV that Nick Saban’s agent has contacted WVU regarding our vacant head-coaching position.
These sources tell us that Saban is extremely unhappy in Tuscaloosa and has failed to recapture the situation he had in Baton Rouge with LSU. The purpose of the agent’s call was to express initial interest in the position and to have WVU athletics put together a compensation package enough to lure Saban from Alabama.
Now that is the mark of a true champion. Just like Dave Kingman - never let them take your glory!
In an unrelated story -
apparently Ray Lewis is Jewish?
You probably know some of the great Jewish American sports heroes. Like Hank Greenberg. Sandy Koufax. Bob Cousy.
And Ray Lewis. Yes, THAT Ray Lewis.
Apparently his Wikipedia entry says that he is … and you know how much we can believe Wikipedia! So I’m sure it’s true. I sure hope all the NFL Players in his line of destruction are Kosher. Picture from Kissing Suzy Kolber.
