Perhaps you should read up on Chris Spielman before you make ridiculous comments like that. He's a very honorable man and I would be proud to associate myself with him.


I was making a humorous observation about his comments. In light of the upcoming NC game with tOSU, I can make whatever humorous comments I would like about tOSU alumns. I am not calling his "honor" into question. My point was that he communicates in "stream of consciousness" and he makes little sense (not to mention, he ignores facts). Maybe I should have used my secret decoder ring to understand him a little better! He may be great for a radio interview, but his comments suck in a printed article.

If you think that my comments were designed to be insensitive to Spielman (in light of his work with cancer reseach), you're wrong. Just because I might think he's an idiot every time I see or hear him, doesn't mean I don't appreciate the things he's done for cancer research.

My comments are almost as ridiculous as "Chris Hansen is a Cockblocker," a comment I'm sure you meant to be understood as agreeing that sexual predators should get away with fricking young boys and girls.

Lighten up.

Spielman comes off unpolished (which, as a broadcaster, he is) but sprinkled in there, if you listen, he really knows the "D" side of football. He readily identifies "O" formations and their weaknesses, similarly he does the same for the "D" side. What he has trouble with is the words to get that across in simple terms.

That makes him clumsy. He won't make the big time, unless his clumsy charm strikes a note and he can parlay that into a schtick that becomes endearing (like Ditka or Bradshaw, they know football, they just can't speak well).

Any truth to the rumor that U. Meyer and the Fla. AD don't get along?
