Lollll. At no point is secretly recording someone the proper thing to do, period. Go through the proper avenues ONLY, not IN ADDITION TO sneaky cell phone recordings. If anything to protect yourself.

Yea man, deadspin writers have never played a sport so they have no fuckin clue. And the commenters, who know just as little but pretend to know more, are even worse. They really have no clue.

It isn't the greatest approach to scream and yell 100% of the time. But, if done properly and sparingly, putting a little bit of fear into players (especially if the punishment is running! We played baseball to avoid conditioning like that!) is certainly an effective way of getting the most out of your players. …

Never full scholarship, ever. You get like a dozen a year in your program, and you have to fill a roster of at least 25.... I think a 1/4 scholarship is probably the norm now.

Oh really? How many years of pro sports did you play? I played 4, and I can tell you that absolutely my worst ass chewings were in pro ball. It all depends on who you play for throughout your career.... But I can promise you it happens in pro sports. Pro sports are where the coaches (most often) have the most to…

I'm sure your lawyer would advise you differently than to secretly record a conversation, especially when you have proper avenues to utilize. But hey, you used hyphens properly so cheers to you.

Obviously you didn't read my post properly. I NEVER said Arkansas was a two party consent state. I was speaking generally (as this is the 3rd or 4th post like this in about a year). The last of which was in California, which is a two party consent state. The premise being, if something is illegal in one state…

You're really only putting yourself at risk by secretly recording telephone or in-person conversations. About 10 states have two-party consent laws. Also, you couldn't be any more wrong. I love listening to these rants... I just realize it's completely against locker room ethics (which might be an oxymoron thinking…

Yawn. Typical response from a person with no knowledge of the subject, and zero experience as a student-athlete. These players CHOSE to play for this guy. Nobody forced them to take (partial, because it's baseball) scholarships. That doesn't give him the right to act however he pleases, but a player has to do his…

Insisting on dealing with problems like adults is an asshole comment? I have zero respect for people who secretly record private moments in hopes to get someone in trouble. It's the behavior of a coward. Calling someone an awful person based on one internet comment is also the behavior of a coward.

Yawn. Whatever helps you get to sleep easier fella.

This is an awful headline.

You paraphrased exactly what I said. Players go crazy and goals are hard to score. Reading isn't your thing apparently. Trying to be a fake soccer tough guy? That's more your thing.... So guess we won't be seeing you post about soccer anymore. Bummer.

Some coaches fuckin suck for sure. But please for the love of Christ stop recording shit like little girls and then snitching. So sick of these pussies.

lol. I don't think you understand the meaning of ACT like you've been there. One need not have prior experience "being there" to pretend like they have.

Thanks for repeating what I said. Players go crazy on goals. Goals are rare in soccer. Awesome analysis. Glad I said it already (minus the caps, awful rhetorical question and f bomb for FUCKING emphasis).

I realize this is soccer's grandest stage and it's exciting to score in a sport where goals are scarce. But you're supposed to score goals. I'm waiting to see the beast who scores then gets ready for the next play with little jubilance, I'm sure it's happened before?

Seems like an even better moment to realize they did what they are supposed to do. #actlikeyadoneitbefore

Who reads a novel on pancakes?

Considering that somewhere between 95 and 99 percent of arm motions that begin with the ball in hand end with the ball actually leaving the hand.... I can only answer your question by saying: not still with the person now hiding the ball in their glove.
