Cowherd is awful. I know we're supposed to like him because of the Zima rant but he's just a godawful nexus of mind-numbing, ego driven stupification and suck. And the sad thing is, I hear he's not even the worst of their 'personalities.'

We did Wiked Weed's brewpub last summer on our way back through Asheville on vacation. They were doing a World Cup of Beer, one style from every nation in the Cup. Simply amazing.

It gives me the warn and fuzzies when Joey Slye nails somebody like that.

When the kicking competition was going on last year, all I could think about was having a kicker with linebacker size who could drill somebody when needed. I got my wish. Love his story, too.

Could you imagine if Jimmy Kibble would have been Joey's size? He would have buried people into the turf.

What's to say the deal has to be through ESPN?

With the transition towards online streaming over cable subscriptions, I could see the ACC trying to partner with someone like Amazon Prime, Netflix, or Hulu to build out their subscription based streaming network that can reach everyone, regardless of who your cable provider is.

The timing of this is scary. I was JUST thinking yesterday about how I never watch ESPN anymore. I couldn't tell you why, but ESPN just doesnt hold my attention.

I love how the WVU guy bit his tongue to upvote.

I think that was the point.. the personalities
EPSN used to have consistently entertaining reports/anchors/analysts and now it's 50% at best, and the good ones are almost always seated next to an idiot

maybe he should go back to school to become a perforation inspector. Caveat: perforation inspectors have had to see some tear-able things.

Haven't watched ESPN in a long time. I enjoy Mike & Mike on my drive in to work, but can't stand most of the sports talk radio blowhards.

I've tried listening to Colin a few times (mostly because a guy with that legendary a takedown of LOLUVA football can't be all bad), but never last long before I have to turn it off. I'm always amazed at how much time he can fill saying nothing of substance. Plus there was the time he found out one of his largest demographics was wealthy up-and-coming lawyers and spent the rest of the show sucking up to them because they "get it". Ugh.

Nowhere in that article does it say or imply that players do or don't pay for their lawyer. All it says is that our coaches may refer a player to Turk when said player gets into legal trouble.

From OTL:

Some athletic programs have, in effect, a team lawyer who showed up at a crime scene or jail or police department -- sometimes even before an athlete requested legal counsel. The lawyers, sometimes called by athletic department officials, were often successful in giving athletes an edge in evading prosecution -- from minor offenses to major crimes.

I doubt that Shai, Bucky, Ike, Hyman, AD, etc paid out of pocket for legal advice.

I think this could potential have a large impact on the proposed ESPN/ACC Network partnership. The conference may have missed their window to create this if ESPN is going into a cost-saving mode.
