Perhaps you can explain your opinion on how the piece could have been done differently, more correctly, at least in your opinion. Try to be specific. I didn't see criticism on this thread that did anything other than seem like they didn't like the article because of the stance he took. What do...

Technically, he didn't say he he thought they should get the death penalty. He said he thought they WOULD get the death penalty. He himself was not passing judgement. It might seem like splitting hairs, but that is what he said, not what you put in the subject line. "For the things that...

Agreed, and I believe that is what I mentioned in my post as well.

Actually, I believe he was. He just never had that reputation, as I recall. He killed it on the 40 time in the NFL combine and you don't improve that much without being pretty fast to begin with.

It sounds like he is a McNutt type. One would assume with them talking about how large his hands are and the number of yards and TDs he had that he didn't drop many passes in high school. One would hope that would translate to college, though I have seen players with great hands in college end...

Well, I could have mentioned that you are totally clueless compared to Kiper. Another poster mentioned something to the affect that Kiper might be ranking him with FBs because that is where teams are projecting him. That seems to be a reasonable bet. But you appear to be too dense to figure that...

You seem like kind of a whiner to me. I'm just sayin'.

Actually, for the reasons I mentioned earlier, you really do. It might not be as complicated in basketball, or maybe it is. But in football there are always many circumstances that don't simply allow one to look at one rule in the rule book and exclaim they are correct and the official on the...

Are you serious? He obviously caught an elbow to the head. If he flopped or not is irrelevant, really. What is relevant is if the refs had a right to review it on the monitors after the free throw. They got the call right, really. But if they weren't supposed to review at that time, it is also...

Unless someone is an official at a high level, I am typically wary of people using the rule book to win their point. My brother officiates football in a major conference. Typically any given play that someone wants to question might involve multiple rules from the rule book that need to all be...

You are correct. I didn't watch it. And whatever the narrator said, that was not the amount of his first contract. That MAYBE was the amount he was paid by the University of Iowa. A coach's overall compensation comes from a multitude of sources besides the university and all of those are...

Hayden obviously wasn't a first year head coach, but a very experienced head coach in his first contract at Iowa. Regardless, that wasn't his first contract amount at Iowa. At least not when you figure in the pay from all sources, like radio and television, etc. He was probably making $300k on...

His first year where? Not at Iowa, obviously.

How does Trimble not even make your second team?

You have an interesting choice of words. Conversely, would you say that ESPN was ever a "big" part of your life? Can you picture yourself making this statement, "ESPN was a big part of my life back in the 80s and 90s?"

I believe it is common knowledge among the very informed that KOK was pushing for Stanzi over JC all along and KF was the one that stayed with JC until he finally relented. Want to bet it was the same with McCann? One can hardly complain about KOK being a mentor to Stanzi the year he threw pick...

To a degree, this is right. But, ask Falcon fan if they wouldn't have preferred a run from the 22 yard line to set up a FG instead of a pass call for a sack and another with a hold that then resulted in a punt instead of what would have been three crucial,points in the Super Bowl.

Maybe I missed this, so correct me if I did. I am thinking a lot of people might be complaining about KOK being back with the Hawkeyes. But think of it for a second. How did our QBs perform when O'Keefe was our OC? He had McCann, then Banks, Chandler, Tate, Christianson, Stanzi and Vandenberg...

The author refers to Hilgenberg and Bortz as two former Iowa offensive linemen. I could be wrong, but I am fairly certain Bortz played on the D-Line at Iowa and went to the offensive side once he got to the NFL. Confirmation on this would make me feel better. The memory might not be what it...

Well, obviously KF stood up for Coker, if you will recall. However, the administration seemingly didn't want to listen to his side. Kirk was very outspoken in his support of Coker's character. That's what you get if you read between the lines, anyway.
