In my line of work, you get to see advocacy pieces done all of the time. That is the job description.

What we are witnessing is ESPN doing advocacy pieces against Mike Leach. They will throw in an obligatory one liner to try to balance out an entire piece against Mike Leach, but it's pretty clear that ESPN has no sense of balance in covering the Mike Leach story.

Looks pretty clear to me that it is TT and ESPN vs. Leach.

agree. see my post in the other thread about espn. they will, however, not be allowed to testify in court and they may very well be hurting TT's and the James' case. judges are not stupid and neither is leaches lawyer. this case will be tryed in court and not in the public arena.

cant imagine how pissed I'd be as a TT fan, they just fired the guy that made them semi-relevant. Even the players coming out trashing Leach don't realize where their program is headed now.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday. It is so obvious that they are not capable of reporting the facts in this case.

Google E-mails in support of Mike Leach and read what coaches and players think of Mike Leach and Adam James.

They're corporate...taking the pc side of things, knowing that they have C James on command live when needed.
The more they push this side, better ratings, they earn more period.
Leach got himself fired, he's smart to be quiet and cash in later.
Jr. James and sibling better get out of Lubbock ASAP.

That is exactly what it is. CJ is a bitch, and I hope Leach sues TT for EVERYTHING.

it was wrong for espn to allow james to speak out against leach on national tv....james's son to me sounds like a little bitch anyways...i say the boy was faking...if my son was in immediate danger that would be one thing...but craig james already knew his son is a lazy little complainer baby anyways...it wasnt the first time....craig should of blasted his son, my son would never cause one lick of problem there...his son caused problems all the time....thats the problem with parents...they defend their child too much.....craig cut his own nuts but going on nat tv on espn......i lost respect for him.....

if im an A.D. in the big 12 and need a head coach, im looking to hire leech .....revenge.....

Good luck to Tech finding a coach who can average 8-9 wins a season in Lubbock (especially after firing their all-time-winningest coach the day before he was due an $800,000 incentive) ...
