Sweet fuck, on Cowherd yesterday, he is trying to compare the situation with Strasburg and RG3 and calling people hypocrites if they think RG3 should have come out of the game. "Strasburg is hurt and you want him to play, but doctors say that RG3 is fine and you want him to sit. It's hypocritical." What the fuck Colin? Strasburg was perfectly healthy and they sat him for no reason. RG3 could barely stand upright and they let him play a game on the shittiest turf known to man. It was absolutely the worst argument I have ever heard from him. Quite mind-numbing.
On a positive note, googling Rachel Nichols gave me tons of pics of the chick from Gi Joe who apparently shares that name. Spoiler ing for size on mobile. Spoiler
That picture is disgusting, though. She actually cut her finger tip off. I expected a slice or something, not an amputation.
RG3 is definitely going to be their new tebow. which sucks, because he's a fantastic talent but im going to end up absolutely hating him. luck and russell wilson got like 10% of the coverage that RG3 got this season despite having comparable seasons. as far as the lakers...been the same old shit for the last decade. if LA ever gets an NFL team, may god help us all.
I'm hoping for this reason that RG3 doesn't win ROY (sucks for RG3 because he's likeable). The NFL awards are going to be announced the day before the Super Bowl but if that happens, I'm sure it'll still be one of their top stories the day after the Super Bowl.
In his defense, he's probably just trying to draw ratings. I imagine saying "this class just isn't that good compared to past classes" doesn't get the needle moving in the right direction. One of the major reasons ESPN is so "what have you done for me lately" is that they want current things to seem more exciting than they really are
Somebody is going to die next year. Everybody saw what happened when the ref's didn't give us the first down, now we got people saying Clowney isn't that good? Look out UNC, you may want to stay home in September.

You'd be surprised how many people out there take his recruiting blabber as if he knows what he is talking about
The "average" fan does that about everything on ESPN. They assume if the WWL put you on TV you know what you're talking about. Before I stopped talking sports with regular people about five years ago I can't tell you how many times they backed up their arguments with, "Hey, I'm just telling you what [insert dumbfuck ESPN analyst] said."
Woke up this morning and accidentally put on espn. First they talked Lakers for 5 minutes, then heat for 5 minutes, then spent another 5 minutes comparing this year's Lakers to the Heat team from 2 years ago. I finally snapped out of it and changed the channel when Herm Edwards came on next and started to give a breakdown of how jetlag works.
Front page of ESPN...on same day as NFL playoffs, incredible college basketball slate, and the NBA in full swing.
"The Lights" back on from 7-9am on NBCSports. No reason for any of you to be watching ESPN in the morning unless you are at work before 7.
Luginbill just stated that because kids can commit and de-commit from schools, that coaches should be able to pull scholarships. He mentioned Tuberville doing it in particular, who is obviously coming into a new school, but he didn't limit it to new coaches that are dealing with players recruited under another staff. He said it is unfair for players to be able to do it, but not coaches. Call me unreasonable, but I think the onus should be on the coaches and the institutions to maintain their word throughout the process, and follow through on a guaranteed scholarship. The act of greyshirting and pushing kids out of classes is scummy, and Luginbill is a hack, so I'm not at all surprised that this stupid shit came out of his mouth.
Well whatever, but it is definitely used in much more underhanded ways by some coaches. By Luginbill's opinion, it's totally kosher for a coach to duck out in January, say for a pro job, a new coach to come in by say late January, and then pull scholarships from kids just before NSD. The time frame at Cincy isn't quite as compressed, but I'd still be super pissed if I had my scholarship by Tubbs at this stage in the process. Apparently the institution has absolutely no responsibility here, which I find laughable.
The biggest thing with Tubby's bitchass is that he didn't tell the kids for over a month after he got hired and even then it was the kids who called the coaches and were told the bad news. That's just straight up pussy shit. Also, Luginbill is the worst thing on ESPN not black or named Skip Bayless.
Kornheiser just being grouchy and SVP's sense of humor only use I have for the WWL aside from live sports, which they also are successfully managing to fuck up.
It seems like every time ESPN is blowing up a subject SVP and Russillo try to bring it down and talk about how over the top everyone is being. The great quote from Russillo is "Are we really that lucky to live in the time of the greatest of all time in every sport?"
