This gets 2 replies before getting political.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:29 AM ^
WHO DOES URBAN SUPPORT FOR FRANKLIN COUNTY DRAIN COMMISSIONER???
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:23 AM ^
Thank you for this comment. So funny, seriously. *crying emoji*
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:36 AM ^
I believe there is bi-tri-quad-partisan disgust for that guy.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:38 AM ^
All points about skepticism taken...
I am curious though...
August 2nd, 2018 at 12:00 PM ^
Throws full Gatorade bottles? Well you know what they say, if you can dodge a full Gatorade bottle, you can dodge firing an abusive assistant
August 2nd, 2018 at 12:22 PM ^
Okay. Similar size to a football. Were they supposed to catch it?
Other Florida player comments center around injuries. Really hard to get any context with 5 second sound bites.
Maybe it's just me but I feel like this guy is just going to detract from a serious situation.
August 2nd, 2018 at 12:34 PM ^
Trust me, I agree. I really feel like this guy is trying to pile on with misleading information for clicks.
Throwing Gatorade bottles is laughable in comparison to ignoring spousal abuse. Player's injuries go through doctors and trainers, not just the head coach.
Full disclosure, as if anyone cares, I grew up in an abusive household for most of my childhood. If there's anything I hate in this world, it's a coward that lays their hands on women and children. Smith deserves the absolute worst, as does Meyer. All the extra shit people are claiming to have on Meyer wont come close to carrying the same weight, in my opinion.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:27 AM ^
Anything from this guy makes me skeptical.
I am intrigued though...
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:27 AM ^
Didn’t this dude do some shady shit? Or say some questionable things? I know who he is and what he does, and I doubt he could get in a position to get a video of Urban doing anything questionable. Football programs are run tighter that political campaigns.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:33 AM ^
He's pled guilty at least once, which sadly dropped him down to a misdemeanor instead of a felony. He flat out lies and edits his videos deceptively. He's a gross person and should be shunned.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:38 AM ^
There may be something I missed, but from what I remember he really doesn't edit his videos any more deceptively than the major network industry standard. Granted, that is pretty deceptive.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:42 AM ^
Yes, there is something you missed. It's called reality. This guy is a fraud and a huckster out to make a buck. You comparing him to actual journalists shows that you're ignorant and uninformed.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:49 AM ^
I continue to be very disappointed that you are a "teacher".
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:19 AM ^
THAT MAN HAD A FAMILY!!
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:50 AM ^
"he really doesn't edit his videos any more deceptively than the major network industry standard."
If your "major network industry standard" is Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, Bryan Fischer, and Sinclair Media, you're right.
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:06 AM ^
Or NBC, CBS, etc., etc.
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:24 AM ^
Do you find it difficult to breathe with your head that far up your ass?
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:50 AM ^
Ah, thanks to the poster of the link below. Yes I had forgotten or never knew about Okeefe's attempted plant of a fake story at the Post. In defense of Roy Moore no less. That is disgusting.
And for those of you who think that O'keefe's editing practices are more deceptive than major broadcasters... hm my phone or the new site won't let me link easily, but try looking up NBC's rigged GM truck crashes, or MSNBC's accusations against Jill Stein or Glenn Greenwald.
August 2nd, 2018 at 12:14 PM ^
The GM thing is 25 years old and NBC is 92 years old. Good job comparing them to an internet troll who only publishes bullshit. Maybe walk down the hall and ask one of the English teachers to explain to you what a false equivalence is.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:43 AM ^
I disagree - he also will post the entire unedited video for anyone to see that the content is legitimate. His guilty plea if I recall was for trespassing in order to shoot the video. This does not mean I endorse him or his video - just what I believe to be true.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:49 AM ^
If you believe he'll release an unedited video I'd really like to sit down and talk to you about some beach front property I have for sale in Idaho. It's the hot new vacation spot, and I think you deserve first crack at buying it all up.
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:19 AM ^
Is this on Lake Pend Oreille, Lake Coeur d'Alene, Bear Lake, or one the other large lakes in Idaho. Sounds like a good deal.
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:21 AM ^
You have fun at the beach in Idaho in January. Sane people will be going somewhere warm.
August 2nd, 2018 at 12:33 PM ^
I didn't realize January was the only month we were allowed to visit Idaho...
August 2nd, 2018 at 12:43 PM ^
It is. It's closed the rest of the year so no one disturbs the potatoes. They're extraordinarily shy.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:36 AM ^
He's a total fraud and full of shit. Whatever he has will be suspiciously edited for maximum negative effect. This guy is such a creep he makes Urban look like the freaking pope.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:43 AM ^
It's been a while since this guy's got any attention, too. Prepare for a really stupid minor media circus.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:56 AM ^
Political campaigns aren't run tightly AT ALL. That's why they're such an easy target for hackers. They're super short-term, all-hands-on-deck so it's just a bunch of random people coming together without much security infrastructure, no central controls. They are as loose and fast as it gets.
Probably not the best example.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:28 AM ^
Same guy who sent a mole into the Washington Post to try and plant a fake story about a Roy Moore accuser...no thanks. #nopolitics
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:31 AM ^
Conservative, liberal, what have you.
This guy is just a huge POS and a proven liar.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:32 AM ^
Ah yep, that’s what he did. Thanks for reminding me.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:39 AM ^
This is my favorite dumb O'Keefe thing:

August 2nd, 2018 at 10:28 AM ^
Sooo... chances are this "undercover footage" is heavily edited to a point where it's basically a giant lie and should be taken with the largest grain of salt we've ever seen.
Even if very compelling, I would put 0.00 stock in this.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:37 AM ^
It's probably a joke and footage of a football game
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:07 AM ^
last years's Iowa game? if so I would absolutely watch
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:29 AM ^
Reply 3. OSU sucks.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:30 AM ^
Guess I'm slow or something.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:29 AM ^
Sounds like someone trying to get clicks.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:45 AM ^
Was trying to say the same thing but in a snarkier way and then said screw it. Sometimes simpler is better. O'Keefe seems like a douche so this bombshell will probably be a dud.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:32 AM ^
Yeah this guys is more likely to wind up helping Urban, hard pass on giving a shit about what he claims the video shows.
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:37 AM ^
True - this could actually end up helping Urban more than hurting him. Sympathy that people are piling on while giving his supporters a "fake news" rally cry.
Seemed to work out that way for Dantoni & Izzo when ESPN combined the ongoing bball & football abuse issues with the Nassar story.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:32 AM ^
Holy shit the ridiculous levels these people will stoop to in order to get some clicks.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:32 AM ^
This is possibly what the TMZ guy may have been teasing last night as well.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:33 AM ^
Yeah, O’Keefe getting involved bums me out, because now I’m less likely to believe any information coming out of OSU hasn’t been edited to suit a narrative.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:36 AM ^
Holy shit, two of the world's worst people collide. Time for popcorn.
August 2nd, 2018 at 10:41 AM ^
Does football count as something that shows "total disregard for physical safety?"
August 2nd, 2018 at 11:21 AM ^
Only if you play D for Don Brown
