I remember hearing about it at the time. Maybe the info was leaked or Holtz may even have bragged about it.
Never liked Russillo . He's too glib for me. Jaws is gone - after watching 3,245,654,000 hours of game film .
That is my burning question, too. Smith is an idiot, having only a single "qualification" for the job, actually for any job. Last week he was on a tear about baseball having racial "issues" based on the low percentage of black MLB players!!! For some bizarre reason he stayed away from racial percentages of NFL and NBA. Simply amazing that moron has a job.
They've been pushing for more blacks in baseball as an organization with mlb. Trying to get parks built in inner cities supplying equipment etc. But it's all Dominicans and Cubans who live for the sport to get out of the huts they are in. While all the best black athletes are playing football and basketball. And it's only going to continue in that direction. Not sure why it has to be a bad or good thing. Stephen A is their ideal face of the network now however. Controversial loud mouth minority shit stirrer. But he's not stupid. He knows his nba. He just plays the part that gets him paid however.
Glib. Really? How so? Every time I've heard him talk about LSU (both in game experience and the team itself) he's been very complimentary. If I've heard him talk about what great times he's had in BR once, I've heard it more than a dozen times.
He's kinda monotone I suppose and probably sounds boring if you just tune in this a sec. But hes good and knows his shit. And a straight shooter which is refreshing.
