I usually don't care what he says in his normal commentary on ESPN. It's just opinion, but he reported something he thought was factual. It had a direct affect an a football team fighting for a championship! He needs to issue an apology.

Hell, Dan Rather got fired for this type of Reporting.

Big difference. Dan Rather FORGED documents to try and back up his "story". If Herbie showed a FORGED contract on TV, then yes - he should be fired. Never mind, he should be fired anyway!

What does an apology ever accomplish? It's not a means to an end. Maybe he'll save face. Who knows. This type of shoty reporting has to be stopped. If you don't think so, then good for you.

Actually, Dan was fired because he ran with a story based on forged documents given to him. In other words, he didn't research his sources. Same thig Herbie did.

Herbie's report isn't as serious as Rathers OF COURSE, but Herbie is in the business of football reporting. He F'ed up royally.

They should make him wear a Tiger Rant T-shirt on the air to atone for his performance today.

Like I said, it's nothing personal, but Miles did say he had to talk to the team and let them know Herbie is a douche. I stick by my coach.

Herbie stated Miles would be the next Michigan coach confirmed! This type of BS reporting while a team still has to play a championship game is inexcusable. Screw your "scoop" Herbie. How about showing some jounalistic integrity?

I'm pissed because I'm an LSU fan through and through. No other explination needed.
