re: Coach O on the Dan Le Batard show

Dan "the retard" is a jackass who isn't anywhere near as funny as he thinks he might be. He is an example of the crap that ESPN airs that has driven millions away. They've gone downhill big time since ABC took them over. Sure miss the days of Berman, Patrick, etc. Other than a college football game and SVP, I've quit watching them. And when this idiot comes on 104.5, I switch to music on my radio in the car.

First of all who made you the net nanny?

I am very positive about LSU and all things pertaining to LSU. I am constantly praising the athletes, coaches and the entire organization. I proudly bear the title of a sunshine pumper-positiger or what ever. I defy you to find negative streams about the coaching staff, the players and the administration that I authored.

Now I'd like to see if you and the person to whom I addressed my comments can show similar support.

I don't understand the sensitivity of those who deal in an unending stream of negativity. Why is it that they can feel comfortable constantly pouring a river of criticism but become so defensive when they are criticized? Are they immune to criticism?

It appears that they can dish it out but can't take it. Confronting the critics stirs up a hornet's nest every time. However to pour a little balm on the hurt feelings of the person I addressed, if he (she) can show me some posts where he exhibited a positive and/ supporting attitude to coaches, staff or players, I'll apologize.

Fair enough?

bullshite. Every last one of your posts is you lashing out at anyone who would have the audacity to question an LSU coach.

Read my statement. Slowly. Then read your rebuttal.
You are admitting that I support the coaches. Isn't that what I said?

English isn't really THAT hard.

The "Bad Coach O' call-in segment was fairly insulting. Dan would never have callers make fun of a black or Hispanic who spoke badly, or with an accent. I'm also tired of Dan using his ethnicity as a shield for his own subtle racism.

Easy with that...only whitey can be racist.

If you want to call condescendingly shitting on anyone with a vaguely negative opinion of a coach "defending a coach", sure, I'll give you that one.

---

Vaguely negative? You call terms like "functioning idiot" vaguely negative?

Let's see if I understand the rules: It is ok to call a coach or a player or staff member any name you choose but if I decide to use a less than complimentary term regarding the attacker I am the sinner? You don't see the hypocrisy in that? I'm interested to know where the attackers have gained this perpetual immunity.

Have you ever actually discussed a game? I don't recall you ever even mentioning a player, let alone discussing a players skill, stats, etc. Ever rationally discussed the merits of hiring or not hiring a given coach?

---

I rarely comment on a game, win or lose, mainly because I don't see the point in debating the past. Also unlike most around here I admit that there is more to any game in any sport that we spectators actually know. I sure as hell don't have any idea how to instruct a college batter for example, an art that it seems every body that ever played t-ball seems to have learned.

As far as hiring of coaches goes, I immediately voiced my support for Ed Orgeron when he was hired. Because I'm not a basketball fan, I just passed on that hire without comment. Regardless, how often do you see a rational discussion of Ed Orgeron's hiring?

The point I make is that the critics are not free from criticism and if that gets their panties in a wad....so be it

You do seem to hate everybody here. Why do you post here if you are so unhappy? I would rather be fishing.

Then you should be.
Now if possible.

I don't take part in the personal attacks. All you have to do is ignore it. I'm not puzzled or bothered by you responding to them, I'm more puzzled by the fact that that's ALL you post. You never, ever join in any discussion about the events of a game, "what did you think of ______?", etc., a player or players or anything else relating to sports other than responding to perceived personal attacks on coaches. I guess I just fail to understand why you even visit this site if the only thing that jumps out at you and the only thing that you even remotely address is people you don't like, saying things you don't like. You do you, man. I just don't get it.
