Jim McElwain Did a Really Nice Thing
Aw, man. Do we have to stop making fun of him now? 'Cause we were kind of on a roll.
What's Charlie Weis doing these days?
If he ever comes here, I am not giving up the Weis jokes.
Guarantee someone wears a shark costume to the football games.
who attended the game in Dallas have a used shark costume for sale. "Only used once (not by McElwain). $50 OBO."
When I looked at your avatar really fast, I thought it was a shark symbol.
Checks out.
What are you guaranteeing? I'd take that bet.
For use of punnage.
Came here to talk about sharks. Now I feel bad about myself.
If McElwain took our offense as O-Cord and turned it top 10 on the way to a National Title....
Would you dress in a shark costume and let him hump you ??
total hypothetical.....
for now
Great gesture by coach, by the way
How was this downvoted? I call it a noble sacrifice.
You call it a sacrifice????
Very nice story. From what I have heard, the family's child had a pretty badly deformed head. But McElwain just loves kids though...
(I know, I know, I'm going to hell...)
Von Miller took a different approach.
Really? This didn't even register on my "Tasteless Meter"???
stupid, insensitive, mindless, thoughtless, ignorant, witless, oafish, boorish, asinine, coarse, gross, graceless, tasteless, tactless, clumsy, heavy-handed, blundering or crass?
Are "ignorant" and "insensitive" really synonyms? Because some of the smartest people I've ever met have also been the least sensitive people I've ever met... ;-)
I think they are partial synonyms, meaning they have overlapping meanings and can in some ways mean the same things but in other ways differ. Ignorant commonly means "uninformed", however, "ignore" is active, whereas "to be uninformed" is purely passive. Being ignorant is more suggestive that you have avoided knowledge. Where you have avoided knowledge of how something affects someone else, in that context, I think it is synonymous with insensitive.

I'm still confused if the shark thing was real or fake? Either way, we should probably stop being dickheads about it since he's our guy now. ---Bracing for the downvotes---
The picture is real but not McElwain. It was a dude from New York i think
That's the beauty of it. You're never really sure it's not him . . .
It was not Jim McElwain nor Jimmy Johns guy, but apparently a former NY cop
Not only were they willing to take a massive hit, they also left a bunch of stuff (Pool and poker tables, pool furniture) that the family had mentioned they liked. That's next level.
I've moved my pool table from 3 times and about 3,000 miles. I love my pool table (and my new company paid to move it every time
A generously outstanding thing to do, especially considering that the family probably could have afforded something a little smaller, but just as nice, without the help. And it kind of helps explain the type of person that Harbaugh hires, too. I doubt McElwain said anything about it during the interviews, but that sort of thing comes through in a person's demeanor...
So . . . that family still bought a $1.4 million house. That's not quite the spin the article puts on it, where if not for McElwain's generosity the family would be sleeping on the streets. They would have just bought a lesser mansion.
That's the spin you got? Read it again.
Yep.
