It will be interesting to see if the apology contains the word "if". I've always maintained that apologies that contain this word (ex: I'm sorry if what I said offended you) are not apologies at all, but merely an attempt to sidestep blame.

Bring it, Herbie.

Any chance the rest of the talking heads at ESPN will apologize for saying Herbie was reporting facts, but LSU magically stepped up to the plate?

There were no facts in what Herbie said. Even if you believe Miles had an offer from Michigan, and a guy on a sail boat say that didn't happen, the proof that it was complete BS is the Tenuta as DC he attached with it. Tenuta knew nothing about it and neither did Herbie.

The "journalist" at ESPN never break stories so they never have to find a second source. They hear them elsewhere and all the sudden "Len Pascareli has learned..." Yeah they learn it by listening to real journalist. They just report it as thier own.

The Saban to WVU has every bit as much truth as Herbie's Miles to Michigan, Tenuta goes with him as DC.

Well said. I agree whole-heartedly. I have been reading all of these message boards. Herbstreit is not alone. There are many tiger fans who've said worse about their coach. Shame on them.
