ESPN foiled again

So does the hate for Miles & LSU get worse now that Miles has stuck it ESPN again. Saved his last trick play of the year to go against the media. The Madd Hatter gets the last laugh.

ESPN said if Miles was offered, he would go. Just because he is staying, doesn't mean he was offered.

ESPN vs. "Miles to Michigan" - Line: +2.0

I'm surprised so many on here know for a fact that Miles was offered the job.

What did ESPN say that was incorrect?

Give me a frickin break. Go on believing that. It's all semantics. If people want to get cute to say that Brandon's visit didn't result in an "offer", they are delusional. The parameters of an offer were most certainly discussed. Brandon probably said "here is what we are prepared to do to make you the UM coach." Miles probably reflected on it, whether it was money, LSU's current strength versus UM's, for whatever reason he didn't give a yes/no on the spot, went back to LSU for what he wants/needs to be revised in his deal, then LSU made its announcement today. Look, it happens all the time in business -- if I make you this offer, will you accept -- if "yes" the offer is made. If a "no" or "I don't know yet" -- then I won't go through the trouble of getting final approval for an offer that you may not accept. Also allows me to save face by not appearing to get rejected.
It probably wasn't high on Les' list to stick it to ESPN, I don't think he thinks that way, but it sure feels good for those of us Tiger fans to live vicariously through his rejection of UM and in the process "stick it to ESPN" with their once again shoddy reporting. Never ceases to amaze what the media will report as "fact" or "our very reliable sources say" when in many times, nothing could be further off base.
