Brando's egoiooc. He reminds me of Mussberger back in the "70's, before he got canned, or Berman now. They seem to think that by virtue of longevity that they've become iconic, and that people are watching the games because of them.
Truth.
Last December I heard Brando tell a story on his radio show about how haughty Joe Paterno had become. It went basically like this: "when I was a young guy coming up in this business I had requested a time to talk to Paterno and he blew me off. After I had reached my current greatness status, he was willing to sit down and talk to me. Joe Paterno was a man of great hubris and self-centered to the core." What a spineless frick. He waits until the biggest scandal in Penn State history to take a shot at Paterno, because he sure as hell wouldn't have said such a thing had there been no molestation scandal--Brando would have taken that thought to the grave, even if it was his greatest conviction. Brando knows his own legacy would be harmed had he made such a comment, pre-Fall of 2011. If he really believed what he said, he's a coward of the worst variety. He embodies the worst there is of the current landscape of sports journalism/media.

I like Timmy B. So he doesn't bother me so much.
This is just the reality of sports jounalism. Saban is a bonafide a-hole douchebag mother fricker lying SOB. But he is a great coach so that is all that matters. No sports journalist will ever sacrifice his access to ask him why he lied his arse off when he was still the head coach at Miami.

What a douche I kind of believe his recollection to be revisionist. In 1983, a friend of mine got me into the NC game, PSU-UGA, as a sideline photographer. Now I was no photographer, obviously not a legit member of the media, and only a couple of years out of LSU, but after the game, on arguably the biggest win in PSU history to date, Paterno gave me 15 minutes of his time, answered every question I had, and was as gracious as he could have possibly been. He certainly wasn't obligated to.

A friend of mine told me a story about Brando..they were at a wedding where Brando was also and he got up to give a speech. First words out of his mouth for this speech were "Hi, my name is Tim Brando and if you don't know I am, why not"? Stay classy Brando.
