He is reportedly not being terminated for cause, but will be bought out of his contract. My theory is the board determined they didn’t want to fire Durkin months ago, and therefore produced an investigative report that went out of its way to pardon his program, thus making it all but impossible to fire him for cause…

Is he being terminated for cause? UMD spent millions of tax-payer money on the “independent” investigation to clear UMD of any wrongdoing, thus allowing them to re-instate Durkin only to fire him days later. Either they are paying out his contract (which is incompetence to the nth degree) or they are going to have to…

That’s pretty terrifying.

Her followup is most excellent:

Pro sports is the only business where the participants are scorned for openly saying it’s all about the money for them. If David Lee Roth reunites with Van Halen and says “they paid me a shitload of money” no one begrudges him that, if Jennifer Aniston does a “Friends” reunion and says it was all about the money no…

The guy in the sports blog comments who compares football to his 9-5 office job. Always a favorite.

LOL, you went to Jared...

+5 foot-long

+1 $5 foot long

Not the first time a Jared has gotten into trouble over underage girls.

The Raiders ponied up a ton of money to move to Vegas, pay a man 100 million dollars who last coached when George W Bush was in the White House, and won’t budge to pay the best defensive player in the AFC who is entering his physical prime? Are we sure Al Davis is dead?? 

this is the right stuff. +1

Like he cares about helping people avoid excessive force. Hell, I saw 3 G’s just reading his name.

Sadly I’ve seen quite a few incel/mra groups and people who list “being spit on by women and SJW culture” as a valid defense for why this guy snapped.

those “insults” sound like they were Google translated from the original Bulgarian

Worth the time you put into it.  

Waiter: Would you like some pepper, Mr. West?

He’s like Jahlil Okafor mixed with Jabari Parker and some splashes of Justice Winslow and Austin Rivers. I’m intrigued.
