Sports Reporters

[irish9331]

Well I tuned into the Sports Reporters on ESPN to see what they would say regarding the Irish. The crew was an all black cast so I knew this was going to come up and it did. Roy S. Johnson of SI said this right off the bat: "I haven't quite yet turned the corner on Notre Dame. Charlie Weis I'm sure is a great coach, is gonna be a great coach, but until someone at that school explains to me why they did not allow Ty Willingham to live out his contract as they did with previous coaches, I'm not quite willing to turn the corner. Tyrone Willingham goes 8-0 and gets fired, Charlie Weis goes 6-2 he gets a new five year contract. Now he is there for 10 years...happy for Charlie Weis, but Notre Dame still gots some 'splainin' to do to me." I was happy that Thomas George did point out that if CW's finish is like Willingham's he will be fired too. Now running up to the bowl game we are going to hear ad nausem about this whole situtation. Johnson also brought up the fact that these were Willingham's kids and not Weis's, but lets think about it Stovall, Shark and Quinn were not half the players under Willingham that they are now under Weis. But what kind of arrogence do you have to have to say that Notre Dame owes him an explanation about why they fired their coach. Did he want one when they fired their coach and hired John L. Smith? Why does every story have to bring this up?

Who the hell is Roy S. Johnson and ESPN? Notre Dame doesn't have to explain anything to this shit network. I hate ESPN. Ty Willingham sucked and he didn't recruite crap. Mark May is stupied too and i hate him the most. He said ND doesn't belong in a BCS. Did anyone hear this jackass?

This all comes back to the addage that "you either love ND or you hate them". ESPN and Mark May in particular have no love for ND. Any explaination about the TY firing would be met with arrogance because they portray it as a racial issue. ND, just like any other school has the right to hire and fire who they want without asking ESPN if they approve.

As I have said before, I merely turn them off.

The 'He's winning with Ty's kids' is a losing argument. Where were the offensive numbers when Ty was here? Where were the 1,000 yd receivers and 3,000 yard passers? Where were the points?

Charlie Weis: Same players better results. End of story. End of argument. When will all the racist black people shut up?

Guff, calm it down. Some of us are on your side. I'm really beginning to view ESPN differently now. Some of their analyst don't act responsibly. They just spew out their own personal viewpoints instead of giving an objective point of view on certain issues. I don't think I will be watching ESPN anytime they begin to discuss college football. I'm pretty sure most of the talk for the next month will be whether or not Notre Dame deserves a BCS bid. It's already gotten old.

Isn't it fun to be hated again?

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

6-6 to 9-2. They are Ty's pieces with a whole new chess board and chess player.

Funny that people are saying that Urban needs to get 'his players' into Florida before they excel......comical.....best article i've read for awhile is Louis Somogyi (BGI) called His'n and Your'n (famous Bum Phillips saying). The point is Weis will take His'n and beat Your'n then he'll take Your'n and beat His'n.....it is all about what you do with the talent you have.

BTW, Ty wasn't able to do anything w/ His'n, only with Bob Davies'n.

Rep points coming to you, sir.

The Eastern Seaboard Programming Network is the most unprofessional station beaming down from space into your living room.

They're still sad that the Red Sox and Yankees never reached the ALCS. Of course, they don't like the fact that the Patriots are stumbling either.

See, there is sports west of Terrell Owens and the Eagles, Bristol Jackasses.
