I was going to post the story below, but got distracted by that damn TO guy. Why a guy nicknamed for the word timeout garners so much press is beyond me.
Why TO has so many slobbering doberman pincer-like detractors also baffles me. I don’t often find myself wanting to side with Dan Le Batard, but I can’t help but want to punch out the likes of Peter King and anyone else who’s voiced the opinion that they know best, they think he’s a nutcase, or whatever they’ve said in the several days. Shut the hell up, I say. If he tried to commit suicide or not, he had his girlfriend/publicist there to keep him alive. And he’s alive. And he caught passes against the Titans yesterday. And, oh yeah, SHUT UP.
If the media didn’t write about him everytime he crossed the fucking street, there’d be none of his antics. But, since whether or not he takes his next breath or not is somehow critical to how Peter King feels about himself, well… he’ll keep on trying to be a the center of some storm or another.
On to non-rant behavior.
Hoeppner Gets Back to Work With Hoosiers:
Indiana’s Terry Hoeppner walked into his weekly news conference Tuesday and got right back to business. He took off his hat and tried to talk about football, even if everyone else wanted to know about his health.
Here’s a health story that isn’t surrounded by side-taking media or mysteries. It’s too bad that the Hoosiers aren’t very good. Or that they had the misfortune of playing against the Badgers (who are kinda good, btw, Michigan game notwithstanding) in his first game back.
I never did post anything college football related last week, but I won’t do that again this week. I’ll have something, if nothing more than a post to a new blog I’ve been slow-cooking (ignoring/procrastinating) for about a year now.
