I very shortly considered throwing a fit with SI. Then I realized BD is as much a money driver as I am. When he meets my level, they'll can his ass. He's garbage and Vince D isn't any better.I used to be D-BOE34 but I can't login for some reason. Will someone donate some vBucks?

I actually heard drsikell ask a question in a presser this year. I was completely stunned. Haven’t heard him since and I don’t expect him too.
The only thing I’ll ever read of his are game/practice evaluations. I read his practice evaluation of Book for the senior bowl. Pretty informative. But I won’t read his opinion pieces.Love Thee Notre Dame!

Jack and Jeff Jeffers did a lot of broadcasts / interviews with out team in HS. So much better than the WSBT and the ABC affiliate's crews.
Two professionals for sure.
Talked with Tom Rinaldi and barely remembered him. With some hoops buddies after an ND game in '94 and ran into him at whatever bar we were in. (Was the Madison Ave Oyster Bar a thing then?). I had to be reminded years later that that was him.

Originally posted by IrishLax View PostHe asked him a very long question about QB recruiting and evaluating using film vs in person seeing someone throw. And then basically how did COVID restrictions affect recruiting this year. Tommy just had a stank face on while it was being asked and then called him “coach” before answering. Also, he has bleached hair now which looks terrible.

Don't even need to listen to the whole thing - you get the point in the 1st 5 minutes. Ragging Kelly's recruiting efforts, ragging Kelly not taking questions at the signing day presser, ragging the things Polian and Elston were saying about no recruiting superstars amongst the coaches, ragging Kelly saying a few years ago that ND could be top 5 recruiting then not doing anything to get there and on and on.
I almost f'in choked when Fortuna said that the stuff Polian was saying in the presser sounded like he was reading a powerpoint about his recent book on coaching because it was full of a lot of platitudes w/o a lot of substance.
I mean, some of their criticism is true. But, it's also true that Fortuna has a serious hardon for Kelly and Sampson is starting to act like he does, too.

I used to really like Sampson, but his attitude and writing have changed a bit. I definitely see why you say that.
Cannot stand Fortuna. Not in the least. He was a shit-ass even back when he was on the ND beat for ESPNLast edited by Huntr; 02-05-2021, 09:37 AM.
