CC: Joe Pequeno (who helped to break contract details) Says Sources Confirm Harbaugh to Michigan

Submitted by plisar on

This can also serve as our daily morning Harbaugh open thread:

Source close to Michigan Program told me unless he changes his mind, Jim Harbaugh will leave the 49ers to become the new Michigan Coach.

One would imagine this may set off national dominoes, as he was heavily quoted as the source for the contract offer.

Ok, couple quick questions:

What's an artard?

What's a Type One error?

Because I'm not at all familiar with these terms.

And since apparently everyone, including Brian, hypothesizes tws7's a young person, doesn't it stand to some reason at least that if the AZ sports guy & tws7 are disseminating the same info before anyone else that THEY have the same source?

A cursory check of Pequeno's tweet history shows he also talks to Larry Foote a lot...BUT he quotes him by name when he does. Hmm...so he's probably not the source

An artard is an idiot. Its origin is south park.

A type one error is finding an effect when there really isn't one. In this case it is accepting that both sources are right when in fact they are both pulling things out of their butts.

And no, you can't assume that they have the same source just because one guy may or may not be young. That, in fact, is not reasonable. It is a poor assumption.

Sure, both of these guys COULD be making things up, or both sources COULD be getting super by the same source, out these two COULD be colluding to get attention, but Occam's razor would suggest otherwise.

Well I'm pretty sure you all could've also pointed out to flu that it was his post stating that Pequeno's tweet and tws7's prior tweet "jive" that got me going sarcastically theorizing that they share a source and that it's tws7's Dad.

Then he came at me, artards blazing, firing out type one errors, and totally changed the entire premise to where he was saying they're BOTH full of it and are just repeating each other's made up stuff.

I did not sense that belief from his 1st post or I would NOT have responded as I did. But I always love any exchange that brings out some Pulp Fiction! The other day someone threw out "What does Marcellus Wiley look like?" and got the reply to check Google! ;-)

JUB just tweeted that he is up to 85%. "Too much inside info." bacon does, however, give the same caveat of "short of lat minute change of heart - still possible with NFL offers coming."



Still, pretty positive. Could today be the day?

It's pretty evident this dude in Arizona is being used to break the news. It has been discussed that it may have been fed to him by Harbaugh's agent.

This is a good thing for all parties. It's "broke" by someone who's credibility is argued about by both sides but the numbers get out in order to make all interested parties get their offer to Jim's agent.

It surprises me that so many people are surprised by this.
