OT: New Urban Meyer/Aaron Hernandez Revelations
September 19th, 2018 at 9:40 AM ^
I look forward to Meyer's seven apologies today about this excerpt.
September 19th, 2018 at 10:25 AM ^
I am looking forward even more to his apology for each of the apologies issued today.
If I had nothing to do with my life, I would somehow get press credentials to attend every one of his pressers to simply ask:
"Are you adequately prepared to answer questions, or just prepared?"

That is not a link.
September 19th, 2018 at 11:25 AM ^
He's very sorry that others have the perception that he's a piece of shit.... he truly doesn't believe he is a piece of shit. He believes that people who know him would agree that he really isn't the piece of shit that many people choose to think he is.
If he's guilty of anything, it is trying too hard to help a troubled player get his life straightened out, while he knew nothing of the trouble that player might have been getting into.
September 19th, 2018 at 12:40 PM ^
I heard this a while ago. I thought him telling nfl teams to back off was common knowledge?
September 19th, 2018 at 9:42 AM ^
suprisingly, a lot of good comments like Urban warning others about Aaron but having no problem playing him to win games.
September 19th, 2018 at 10:05 AM ^
Urban Meyer is a piece of shit straight up.
In an interview with Rolling Stone in 2013, a local reporter who covered Meyer’s team at Florida said that Meyer frequently covered for Hernandez’s bad behavior and said he “wasn’t ready to play.”
Other reports found that Hernandez had failed drug tests. Hernandez would fail other drug tests, according to reports, and should have faced bans for up to half a season, per school regulations. Instead, he didn’t miss a single snap.
September 19th, 2018 at 9:43 AM ^
Having observed Meyer's actions for years and read as new things like this are revealed, I've reached the point where I just shrug. It's just the way he is and until he trips and ends up beating his own wife or murdering someone himself, nothing will happen. He enables all of it but has just enough layers of protection around him to never actually feel any consequence. Nothing will come of this.
September 19th, 2018 at 9:55 AM ^
This is exactly right and how I feel after reading all this stuff.
September 19th, 2018 at 11:20 AM ^
Totally agree.
The only people who don't acknowledge that Meyer is morally bankrupt to the nth degree are those with a vested interest in his continued coaching success.
September 19th, 2018 at 9:44 AM ^
Everyone murders.
September 19th, 2018 at 10:33 AM ^
And for some, it's their passion.
Aaron hernandez died doing what he loved.
September 19th, 2018 at 10:37 AM ^
Being a huge piece of human excrement.
September 19th, 2018 at 11:30 AM ^
....and everyone fails drug tests.
September 19th, 2018 at 9:46 AM ^
So he warned at least one team not to draft Aaron and his friend Bill drafts him? Sounds like he's sandbagging Hernandez to other teams so he'd be available when it came time for the Pats to draft.
But maybe I'm just cynical.
But also, Urbz.
September 19th, 2018 at 11:43 AM ^
Remember that Urban has memory loss. He probably forgot how good of a player Hernandez was when talking to certain teams. With others, he was able to remember. But sometimes he remembered Hernandez' behavior off the field. And other times he didn't. Damn meds.
September 19th, 2018 at 11:46 AM ^
I thought the same thing.
September 19th, 2018 at 9:46 AM ^
Urban sounds like a 100% Ohio guy
September 19th, 2018 at 9:59 AM ^
I live in Ohio. You sound 100% jackass. Don’t speak in generalizations lest you sound like an ignorant asshole.
September 19th, 2018 at 10:02 AM ^
You can live in Ohio and not be an "Ohio Guy."
September 19th, 2018 at 10:02 AM ^
Let's play a game. Everything about Ohio sucks because . . .
September 19th, 2018 at 12:01 PM ^
I'm trying to think of redeeming aspects for the state of Ohio... so far ive come up with:
1.) fertile farmland
2.) large whitetail deer due to said fertile farmland
That's all I've got.
September 19th, 2018 at 12:26 PM ^
How about your last 2 Heisman winners?
September 19th, 2018 at 12:43 PM ^
They were smart enough to leave.
September 19th, 2018 at 12:43 PM ^
Left Ohio as soon as they turned 18.
September 19th, 2018 at 2:18 PM ^
I covered that part with the "Fertile Farmland" statement.
September 19th, 2018 at 1:48 PM ^
Never gets old.
September 19th, 2018 at 10:02 AM ^
Ohio has a lot of really great people. But the general mentality there is "circle the wagons" and "protect our own at all costs", which is what I'm getting at. You'd probably agree with me.
September 19th, 2018 at 10:16 AM ^
What are you using as the basis for the conclusion you've drawn? I've lived in Ohio for about half my life now, and I don't know what you're talking about.
September 19th, 2018 at 10:27 AM ^
This is the thing about Ohio. In football, the Browns and Bangles have been terrible for a long time and the only game in town is OSU. Almost everybody is an OSU fan in the state of Ohio and OSU is very good and wins championships, which fuels loyalty to the team (maybe/ maybe not for the actual school).
We could go into politics and sociology, but that's not the point of this blog, so...
September 19th, 2018 at 11:54 AM ^
I'm a native of Michigan, with 20+ years living in the Ann Arbor area. I moved to the Dayton area 2 years ago for a great job. You would be surprised by the number of locals who either a) hate OSU, b) are Michigan fans, c) are ND fans.
September 19th, 2018 at 12:44 PM ^
I grew up near Cleveland and only moved away when I joined the AF. I now live in Dayton and can attest to the high numbers of non-Buckeyes here. There are plenty, but there are also plenty not. Partly due to the high military population, partly due to proximity to other states that have successful college programs in other areas as well. Also, UD has a fantastic low-key rivalry with OSU due to basketball. I very much enjoy living around here as opposed to where I grew up in the northeast corner of the state.
September 19th, 2018 at 7:02 PM ^
Same, except I've been in Dayton for 25 years. I also know a surprising number of Michigan fans here. At times, the OSU fans get on my nerves, but my best friend and my son-in-law are Buckeye fans and couldn't be better people. I also remember that if I lived in Michigan I'd have to deal with MSU fans, so it's a trade-off.
September 19th, 2018 at 10:06 AM ^
Not all assholes have negative associations. Don't speak in generalizations.
September 19th, 2018 at 10:48 AM ^
Your right, they are wrong.
I bet plenty of Ohioans HATE OSU football and everything it's stands for ............especially the women.
For them I am truly sorry.
September 19th, 2018 at 11:35 AM ^
shelly meyer probably doesn't agree with you as she is definitely part of the smiths' issues and cover up and couldn't care less.
Good thing she doesn't teach students at THEEEEE ohio, oh wait, she does.
September 19th, 2018 at 12:34 PM ^
Yeah she does, what you are seeing is "institutionalized tropy-wifeism".
She doesn't want to end up like Brooks.
September 19th, 2018 at 11:07 AM ^
Hey, dont be hatin on jackasses. I know some really upstanding jackasses that would like a word with your generalizationing ass.
September 19th, 2018 at 11:10 AM ^
I live in Ohio. The Urban apologists have been as vocal as the Paterno apologists at PSU. OSU football is a cult, and Ohio has precious few pockets of people with any sort of critical thinking skills.
September 19th, 2018 at 11:38 AM ^
Can't wait for the sweater vest gets elected to THEEEEE ohio's board of trustees. Much like the pieces of shit known as jay paterno and george perles.
September 19th, 2018 at 11:44 AM ^
I can't believe what my buckeye friends and family have to say about him. They're so blinded by their loyalty. These are good people that I thought would be able to see through the bullshit. Unfortunately, many of them rationalized different ways to blame the victim and the media. One just stated that he was praying that he wouldn't be fired. Another just put his head down and didn't have anything to say. You could tell he was ashamed, but he wasn't willing to express anything. It's been eye opening.
September 19th, 2018 at 12:25 PM ^
If people don't believe you, they should check out Eleven Warriors, where the overriding sentiment is the Urban apology was fantastic and definitely puts this all to bed. Any further coverage is simply the media trying to make something out of almost nothing. And anyway, he apologized.
September 19th, 2018 at 12:44 PM ^
Which one? :)
Or, all of them? I would be amused -- but not the least bit surprised -- to see the same commenters making the same statements about each apology without the slightest hint of self-awareness. :)
September 19th, 2018 at 10:27 AM ^
I lived in Ohio for 28 years. The overwhelming majority of Ohio and all it entails sucks.
September 19th, 2018 at 10:33 AM ^
This is the same sentiment I have. I spent 7 years in Cleveland. Almost to a person, they'd be nice unless you said you (A) went to Michigan, (B) support Detroit area sports teams (except the LOLions), and (C) root for the Steelers instead. Then it was pure nastiness. Fuck em. Fuck em all.
September 19th, 2018 at 10:37 AM ^
I live a few states south of Ohio and can confirm the smell gets unbearable at times.
September 19th, 2018 at 12:32 PM ^
Maby you should shower.
