It’s a common theme in any sport in which a significant portion of the outcome is determined by subjective criteria.
This Wagner person sure is fascinating.
All this stems from the belief modern medicine and a botched surgery on Tommy’s torn ACL. In Brady’s mind this works and everything contrary to his line of thinking is borderline insane.
Everytime someone uses the term “Quack Trainer” all I can think about is the lack of respect shown to those who make their living doing the near impossible task of training ducks.

My brother played for Rich Rod at WVU in the early 2000's. This type of behavior was widely known by people in the WVU football community. He used to hook-up with a WVU cheerleader for fucks’ sake.
As a former sports information director at two prominent Division I universities in the 1990s, I have witnessed similar intimidating and abusive actions from notable coaches (one of which is a current analyst for ESPN). My former colleagues have also shared gut-wrenching stories with me regarding other prominent…
In July 2017, the woman took another job with an insurance company owned by a major donor who she’d worked with through the university. She says the move was specifically so she could get away from Rodriguez. She says she decided she would leave quietly as not to disturb the jobs of other people in the department, who…
I’m gonna say Jim Harbaugh is going to be outed as having somehow sexually harassed his own furniture, but no human beings.

Forgot the trifecta “trouble at home”, coupled with drug use and sexual addiction led to his behaving a way that may have caused hurt and embarrassment to others. Heavily emphasizing “may”.
Wanna hear about being jaded? I’m an insurance broker. I specialize in (among other types) “employment practices liability.” This sort of claim is solidly run-of-the-mill.
Between his wife and the lady in this lawsuit I’m betting Rich Rod’s nickname takes a significant downgrade in the year ahead.
What will he blame this behavior on and seek treatment for? Even odds that it’s either substance abuse or sex addiction.
What an asshole. I have never asked someone to get me a fresh pair of underwear in the middle of the day. What kind of asshole then complains about the underwear someone else got you? Especially when you didn’t make any requests in the first place.
Rich Rodriguez was always a big fucking weirdo and kind of a doofus about broader publicity, so maybe he’s the only coach who does the “Hideaway” book thing, but I also tend to think that coaches learn from and emulate each other, so I have to wonder how many variants of this book exist and how many of them cover more…
I guess I really never thought too much of college coaches, because they’re just mercenaries for hire in a completely corrupt and exploitative system.
