Who will be the manager? no Ryno talk version
jersey cubs fan replied to Magnetic Curses's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
losing control of a clubhouse is just a phrase thrown around after the fact to explain away underperformance. It's meaningless. -
It's consistent with other reports- I think you're thrown off by the "two days after the report" portion. That is referring to two days after the Grand Jury Indictment was made public, I think. What is new to me is that it appears Paterno is trying to indicate that he stopped McQueary's story in his office with something along the lines of- "this is a big deal, you need to go to the A.D. I don't need to hear any more." That's how I interpreted it. I thought the timeline was: DDay = rape DDay+1 = McQueary tells Paterno DDay+2 = Paterno tells AD/Pres DDay+12 = AD/Pres interview McQueary This timeline appears to be similar until DDay + 2, as there is no Paterno tells anybody anything because he put his fingers in his ears and told McQueary to talk to the AD/Pres.

I think people would understand that Francona is a very well known entity to Epstein & Hoyer. Then they should know if they want to hire him before starting the process. Or they should look to see if there are better options before going back to the solid, yet not perfect candidate they are already aware of. -

Reyes going to die and go to hell or something? No he's leaving the Mets. -

Lots of managers I wouldn't want have won titles. Like Brenly. Ozzie. I'm kind of done with paying managers 4-5 million a year to manage. I'm content with giving Maddux a shot. Yeah, i would rather not spend much of the budget on the manager. I don't want one of the highest paid coaching staffs. -

Somewhat strange bit of info. At a fundraiser for ALS research this week David Wright was honored. He was sitting at a table with Jeff Loria, and when speaking he said something to the effect of "I would like my teammate to stay to my left, but I'm not sure if that will be possible with Mr. Loria around." -
I haven't understood the "chargers are super talented" theory for years now. When they had Merriman and Tomlinson at their peaks, they were super talented, but that was a while ago. They've been playing in one of the two worst divisions in the league for a decade, which has helped prop up their record, not to mention stats.

maybe the sexy rexy part

Um, aren't there all sorts of laws that would protect the person from termination (under threat of a serious lawsuit)? It would probably be more about losing access to the sports department than their jobs.

i don't think he has any information, and i don't think people have information that paterno knew about the 1998 investigation, or information about what he thought after he passed along the incident to curley and schultz. the impression i got was that he thought there should have been a proper investigation of what paterno knew or didn't know, not that he was saying paterno was innocent and should've been able to coach forever. I impression I got was that he wanted to see Joe go out on his terms to help him write his book.

The victims deserved a proper investigation, but it was covered up and swept away by the powers that be in the football program, athletic department, university and State College. Paterno attempted to bully the board into letting him stay because he has always been the most powerful figure there and the one with final say. But they finally stood up to him. All they took away from him was the ability to coach a couple more games. That's all. And it was obviously the absolute right decision. They didn't ruin his reputation or legacy. The scandal, that he was a part of, did that.

How the hell is Posnanski going to know the truth on this matter? He's there to write a fluff book on JoePa in time for next father's day, and that book is now worthless. I highly doubt he gained any knowledge of this situation before it all came crashing down. Look at his tweets. He's right there and barely even acknowledges that it happaned. This isn't the first time he's had a rather goofy take on things before taking a step back and realizing the errors of his ways. He was speaking to kids in joepa class anyway. He's surrounded by the passionate nutjob sycophants who can't think straight at all about the situation.
-
He was tipped off that the Cubs were going to fire Jim Hendry replace him with Theo Epstein/Jed Hoyer and they would decide to pursue Pujols? The GM makes most of the moves but something as big as this has to go through Crane first.

Stark's column: Cubs major players for Pujols
jersey cubs fan replied to Hollandsworths mug's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
No it doesn't. No it doesn't. No it doesn't. It does not go against what he said. -
that has been discussed by some media members. I heard it on the radio while driving back from bears/eagles, plus some others.
-
Is JoePa going to speak up about the idiot rioters?
-
I think I've been to that Dick's!!! Why is he out on bail? Isn't child rape one of those charges the prosecution tries to keep you locked up for?
-
All white looks cooler. Okay David Kaplan.
-
I don't know when it started, probably as early as the 70's. But people found out about it in the 90's. Multiple people found out.
-
Probably the worst offense Zambrano has committed in this organization.
-
oh god no are you kidding?
-
cbs pick-em has it as bears -.5, but the line is closer to 3 in most places now, so I think lotso of people are picking them.

yes, that has been discussed

Rants? It's one of the biggest news stories in years. I agree it shouldn't be in the College Football - Week 11 thread, but I don't think it should go to rants.... Also, things may be getting much worse. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=ycn-10407023 there is a long thread on the topic already in rants. It should probably be moved out of there, but this has been discussed.
