Thank you. I’m old.

Pretty sure you’re overestimating our court system.

the next time some blog post tries to rationalize and defend a woman’s ‘right’ to cover her entire body except her eyes and hands

I’ve lost cout of how many people I’ve seen who are super racist AND super religious.

What can be heard on the highlights video doesn’t reflect the values or beliefs of the young man that I’ve come to know.

Pretty convenient how this tape just happened to surface after he burned all the bridges behind A&M. Though can’t say I’m majorly upset that the backdraft is burning his ass.

Look this dude believes in the Bible SOOOOOOO HARD.

You’re just going to leave out the “I agree with the University’s decision” and “I am heartbroken” bits where he acknowledges his client made racist comments?

Ahhhh, the ol’ hard Y. It’s been the downfall of many a man.

As someone who helped lead the effort to advance diversity in the legal profession, served on the National Urban League board, and worked closely with people like Dennis Archer, Rev.

I assume within the next 24 hours Marchiol will be complaining about how he’s being “publicly lynched”?

That lawyer’s statement isn’t statement isn’t staggering at all. It is classic “I’ve got lots of black friends, so I can’t be racist.”

Good Greif.

As a former reporter who covered DI sports, I speak from personal experience when I say that if some combination of coach, sports information personnel and administration are not pissed off at you at any given time, then you’re probably not very good at your job — and Greif is certainly good at his.
