Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

OTTOTD - Bye Bye Sid the Kid

 http://www.vancouversun.com/Photos+Rioting+looting+Montreal/3021493/story.html

 

Randy Shannon got a new contract extension

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5184740

I wonder how Miami fans think of potentially 4 more years of a guy who says stuff like this

Star-divide

 

"I think Coop did a great job. He brought some some excitement to the team. And he's a calm guy. He's not an arrogant or flamboyant guy." It was going well, then coach goofed. "Belive it or not, he and Javarris James are kind of like butt buddies."

 

 

 

Q: I think its all because of the history…
A: But what history? My best friend Walter Odom got killed at the University of Florida, shot, when I was at school at the University of Miami.

The only problem with Shannon’s response is that his "friend" Mr. Odom actually dies of a long illness at the age of 36. Fifteen years after leaving Gainesville . . . Oooops! Maybe this "long illness" shot and killed Mr. Odom?! I have yet to see this possibility fully explored by Shannon’s backers. Following this Randy decides to take a good shot at the national championship runner-ups the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Q: But obviously though there’s kids that live off campus. But what do you tell parents about that?
A: We show them the neighborhoods. Everybody else in the country lives off campus and they still have the same problems. But their newspaper don’t beat them up about it. Like our newspaper beats us up about it. I know you guys are doing your job, you got to beat us up about it. But then understand we just want a fair shot. At Ohio State, do you realize you had more things happen at Ohio State more than anything. You think we’ve been bad? Go check out Ohio State, guys who have been arrested, bar fights. Everything at Ohio State and you’d think University of Miami was angels. Florida the same

UPDATE:

I realize some of our readers have sent emails regarding a portion of this interview that was deleted this morning by my editors. Personally, I do not practice the habit of going back and taking back anything that was said in a Q&A. But coach Shannon's comments about former Florida Gator Walter Odom being shot and killed on campus at the University of Florida were incorrect. He also made several comments about crime at other schools, including Ohio State. Since, he was generalizing and not necessarily being accurate with his quote, The Herald has decided to take that portion of the interview down too. We pride ourselves on being an accurate and reliable source for news and insight. And we're not going to publish false or unsubstantiated statements. We apologize for not making the necessary changes sooner. There will be a correction.

RIP Andy Hellicksonstine. He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, SBN, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at the OTTOTD. These young men gave their lives. And so would Andy. Andy, who loved trannies.

"My biggest problem with being banned isn’t because I’m getting banned per say, its because I’m getting banned for shitting up a thread full of dick jokes, while sternfan gets to shit up a thread where intelligent conversation goes on..."

I say let him back in for this reason and ban you-know-who.

No, seriously...

Here is some of the racist stuff your boy Cracker Ball has said today:

Also, Romeo Crennell was legit. He was DC under Parcells for many, many years and had proven himself successful BEFORE anyone offered him an NFL HC job. Not the product of some B…S… intern minority hiring program. Crennell payed his dues the hard way and deserved his shot.

It used to be 4-5 gifs. Now there aren’t any at the end of the game.

I haven't seen him play in the last year or so, but by all accounts he is not in top form.

Nevertheless, people want him included based on previous experience and form.

But without team, would teams be able to afford to stay in existence?

I hate the bandwagon fans for any team/sport. But without everyone jumping on the Rays bandwagon and buying pink hats and such, and attending games here and there, the Rays (and most teams) don’t stand a chance. At least in my opinion. I tolerate them as part of the sports landscape like the BCS, T.O., and preseason games, but taht doesnt mean I like them

This is all pretty obvious, but on the topic of World Cup soccer teams, Brazilians are going to be rabid and buy merch

Whether Ronaldinho is on the team or not. They’re not going to stop being fans because one name that people have heard of didn’t make the cut. Also, American are stupid and could name <5 players on that team, while the people that matter, Brazilians, can name the entire roster ( I would guess). This isn’t comparing apples to apples since it’s one team for an entire nation and not a league within a nation.
