Did you say dont cite an ESPN poll here bc it doesnt mean anything?.........Then on ur next post say. I dont see why the ESPN poll is pointless?SQ_Crazies wrote: LOL, please don't try to cite an ESPN poll on Meyer like it means anything here. First of all, God knows how many people voted on that and didn't even see or read the story. And more importantly, you know how many people just hate Urban Meyer.
I mean, it's just my personal stance, but fuck the media. Props to Meyer.
Perturbed is nothing compared to threatening a reporter with violence.lhslep134 wrote: Well, considering that the comments could be seen as attacking Tebow, and I'm sure that mostly everyone who played with him still has a ton of respect for him, it could have driven a barrier between Thompson and the other guys on the team, a MAJOR chemistry issue.
So yes, I'd say the comments were justified.
Put this in perspective of OSU.
Say Duron Carter made similar comments about Pryor's successor, wouldn't you feel as if they were anti-Pryor comments, and that it could be a chemistry issue? Obviously Tressel wouldn't explode like that because he's not as publicly emotional as Urban, but I bet Tressel would still be perturbed.
Anyone who uses the term "fucking retard" is TRULY illiterate enough to be considered retarded.gibby08 wrote: Anyone who thinks Jim Tressel is a better coach than Urban Meyer is a fucking retard
Exactly. It's amazing how many idiots on here can't understand this. This had nothing to do with Tebow, and everything to do with the reporter trying to stir up controversy by taking a quote out of context. And the worst part is coming from a reporter who is granted access to cover Florida at their own stadium. It's not a right, it's a privelage. Meyer was absolutely right in coming to Deonte's defense. And the media always come to defense of their own.SQ_Crazies wrote: If you don't think JT is at least on the same level as Meyer then you're a fucking idiot, really.
But I love Meyer in this story, I love what he said. I think he's getting a lot of heat from it because people don't like him for other reasons--but in this case, you gotta love it. When you're watching the media talk about someone taking a shot at the media, they're going to paint him out to be the bad guy. But I love seeing someone tell a media guy to fuck off and not sugar coat it. Thompson's comments made total sense to me, I don't think he meant anything negative about Tebow with what he said--he's just more comfortable with a normal QB. But the media was going to hint that it was something more than it was...which shouldn't surprise ANYONE.
You really should just shut up. You have no f'ing idea what you are talking about. Robbie Andreu wrote the piece and he has been a sports WRITER for the Gainesville sun for almost 20 years.september63 wrote: That was one bloggers opinion. BTW, early in the bloggers opinion post he referred to the Orlando Sentinal writer as Jeremy Foley. It is Fowler!!
We all know Jeremy Foley is the AD. That was just an opinion piece by a blogger/fan of the Gators. He wasnt a sportwriter for anyone.
This cracked me up.Speedofsand wrote:
oh he definitely did. i'd like to see what the original article was (before fowler and the sentinel edited it) to see if fowler insinuated anything about tebow? as the current article stands, fowler just did his job. either way, meyer comes out looking like a jackass to pretty much everyone (well except potential future recruits)Pick6 wrote: Just about every sports commentator on ESPN thinks he stepped way out of line.
Bull. This may be a shock to a swamp gas-huffing jort-wearing Florida fan, but writing someone's exact quote word-for-word isn't taking out of context. And since it was transcribed in text, it's impossible to infer or derive intent from it, and only a dense individual would attempt to do so.TheMightyGators wrote:Exactly.

They also think Mike Gundy was way out of line, when he quite clearly was not.Pick6 wrote: Just about every sports commentator on ESPN thinks he stepped way out of line.
