Phenom, I know you and I have had this discussion on numerous occasions. I think Simmons is a virtuouso at connecting aspects of pop culture and sports, at seeing analogies between the two that advance understanding. I also think that he is a very good basketball analyst. But he is a blow

Hiphop: Mangino’s salary is $229,900 and has radio, tv, and promotion services paying $1,770,100, giving him $2 million per year. He also has a $300k/year retention payment paid if he stays till 2012. You see his salary being $2.3 mil per year, though it is actually $2 mil per year since he

Bill Simmons is dumb. I thought everyone knew that.*

*Actually, I realize I’m one of the few sports fans who can’t stand Simmons. He’s a blowhard. He’s arrogant for no reason. He’s Jim Rome in writing.

Phenom: He definitely got his shots in. But as TTR suggested above, I’m sure he’s been advised to continuing fulfilling his responsibilities until directed otherwise, leaving that burden on the University.

Piling the tinder of the soccer trophy self-esteem movement on the bonfire of cocky 20 year old males who were the biggest deal to ever come out of Topeka or Arlington isn’t always fun to flick the match of hard truths around, but that’s not the fundamental issue.

You just had to work in a bonfire

Bill Simmons has “expanded” his thoughts at the below link. I don’t even know where to start. I’ve always thought that he had a tenuous grasp, at best, on logic and statistics, but this is over the top bad. It should be mortifying for him, but I doubt he has any idea

Hey, judging from KU’s recent teams…Mangino has always thought the best defense is a good offense.

Outstanding piece and one that I think any man who competed in team sports above the junior high level can identify with. Context is certainly everything. Many of Bob Knight’s actions from the glory days at IU would leave him fired and blackballed from most positions in modern day athletics. However, a

I should add that I missed the beginning and end of his show — I read in the Star this morning that he went on a tirade against former players and parents. I didn’t hear that.

I happened to catch Mangino’s radio show last night. Didn’t sound like he was going anywhere, but you know how these shows are. Someone wrote in with a question about starting Pick and other kids to prepare for next year since this year is lost. He was miffed, but kept his cool.

Hey Trips,

I really know nothing about Sumlin other than he seems like he’s a good coach. Obviously living in H-Town you know more about him than I do. Just curious why you don’t care for him.

I really don’t care for Sumlin, but he’s a good coach and I give him props for calling out uber-douche-nozzle John Lopez. If you don’t live in Houston, Lopez is a columnist for the Houston Comical, and evidently has pictures of multiple sports radio programming directors giving barnyard animals smooth buttfuckings because he has

I don’t think they can officially fire him yet if they’re attempting to prove cause (I believe ’cause’ would save the University over $6 million). KU has to provide written notice to Mangino specifying the grounds for termination and provide him at least 21 days to respond to any allegations.

That’s not to say this

I would love to see some classic Vince with a last second or complete blowout win against the Texans. My hatred of the Texans has never wavered since they decided not to draft him. The stupidity of not drafting Vince is the equivalent of the Rockets drafting Sam Bowie instead of Hakeem.

Trips, you illustrate the perils of tracking statistics using only your fingers and toes.

During his clenching run, was he clenching his teeth or his hands?
