  1. I disagree that it isn't more prestigious (and I love the Bills & hate Michigan). A big part of what makes those jobs is tradition & alumni money. Is ND any good? Texas? Those are still considered way better jobs than somewhere like Ole Miss even though Ole Miss would pound those teams (when healthy). Here is a list of the 10 best coaching jobs in football as of 2 years ago. http://m.espn.go.com...842&src=desktop

     

    While I agree that Michigan isn't what it used to be (and may never be). The job clearly still has appeal.

     

    That list is ridiculous. Houston? New England?

     

    But yes, Michigan is a prestigious job.

  2. So let me ask you this, do you think this kind of case would be plastered all over the news just like AP? Do you you'd be plastered on all major sports media outlets? Or any news outlets for that matter? No, you'd be on the last page of the news paper with one line, if at all. This is apples and oranges. Its likely your company would allow you to go through the process and still work. If found guilty then they make a decision. That's the way it should be.

     

     

    What about the guy who slid down the railing?

  3. I put AP in an entirely different category than Ray Rice. Peterson grew up thinking this was an appropriate way to discipline a child. It's what he knows; this is what was taught to him as a child. He needs therapy (to deal with the abuse he received), counseling (to become a better parent), and compassion. Not this nonsense.

     

    I doubt Ray Rice grew up thinking it was appropriate to knock a woman out.

  4. sometimes we might get a little carried away with "no choice but to fire him"

     

    i frankly dont remember the guys name, or the firm and after about a week i doubt anyone else really would. im not saying they were wrong for firing him - im sure there are plenty that can do the job without the short term distraction so go ahead and get one of those people -- but no choice... i mean, how many clients would they have really lost?

     

    A PR firm--much less, the premier PR firm in the area (Eric Mower & Assocs.)--that can't keep its own name out of the paper? It wouldn't have looked good had it kept him. It was borderline irresponsible of the News to name the employer. It guaranteed his termination.

  5. I can't stand how they pick Super Bowl venues.

     

    The league ought to reward the cities which add the most value to the league-- ie, winning teams, revenue generating teams. Reward those cities with the revenue boom of a Super Bowl because they are the ones that are most effectively adding value to the NFL's product.

     

    For example, the Super Bowl winning team (Seattle) should get to host next year (or in 2 years, if you need more planning).

     

    What are they going to do when Green Bay, or Buffalo, or Kansas City, or other locales that obviously lack the necessary infrastructure, win? Is Green Bay supposed to get 2000 taxis just for one weekend?
