Every time I hear his name, I can't help but think about this.

Yikes!

That was the most frightening and hilarious video.

Well we are the biggest think on the internet.

This outburst was both frightening and hilarious as well. To say the man has a few screws loose may be an understatement...

What is this about Mike Leach locking players in closets?

"Mike Leach is alleged to have isolated a player in a dark closet for not practicing with a concussion."

Suspended and very likely terminated is what it is.

If true.

I say that it is a complete overreaction on Tech's part.

More reading here. A few quotes:

Then the family should have waited until after the bowl game. Unless they wanted to "get" Leach (which is my view on the matter...particularly since Leach may get an $800K bonus if he is the team's coach on December 31).

Sounds more reasonable to me.

I suspect there is a great deal more to the story than Craig James is stating publicly, and that Leach is getting a raw deal.

Personally, and based solely on what I've seen of him on tv, I've often thought that James was a bit of a jerk (and that is putting it politely). This story does nothing to change my view of him.

ETA: I've read that Tech was the only school that offered James' son a scholarship. Maybe that's true, maybe it is not. But when you consider how Leach recruits (namely: finds "undiscovered" talent or people that most other coaches pass on as not being very good or talented, and then creates an explosive team from the motley mess), I'm inclined to believe that James' son isn't that great of a player on his own accord and that this is the family's way of "getting back" for not getting what they think that they deserve.

Morning B:rolleyes::-:

I knew that the sterotypes weren't going to be true, yet I did expect a bit of :rolleyes: on my trip to Paris earlier this year. Thankfully, I didn't find any, which was really great. Of course, I do not expect this to dissuade of stereotyping. ;):D:p:-:

I don't get how old school attitudes can still surivive in this day an age. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: He probably made them practice in the August heat without water to toughen them up. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Current threat level for commercial aviation: Ernie.
Everything else: Bert.

Foiled! I'll bet he lurkes in teh box.

Good morning, Box.

We were in SFO the other day and as the automated pspecial announcement told us we were at, "Threat level orange" I yelled out "Ernie!" :D

Good grief, it's freezing here. 9 degrees, -12 with the :rolleyes: chill. If no one get killed today by flying debris it will be a good thing. Just saw a sheet of plywood fly off scaffolding and land in an empty traffic lane.

I've been to Paris and other parts of France many times and have never felt that I received poor service because I am American. If you treat them with respect and speak passable French, you get even better service, in my experience (certainly better than in many large American cities). If one acts like a typical obnoxious American, one should not be surprised at receiving poor service.

When I was living in Chicago, I saw a sheet of plywood fly off about the 10th floor of a building that was under construction. It flew across the street, into about the 8th floor of another building that was under construction! :eek:
