Urban Meyer is a Big, Fat Liar

I spent almost an hour a few weeks ago reading a LONG article in Sports Illustrated about how Urban Meyer's family assented to letting him return to coaching college football only after he signed a pledge to them promising he would change his ways: that he would be more mellow; that he would possess (and display) a more developed sense of perspective and priority.  I was happy for him.  The article quoted him as saying that his behavior at Florida was such that it both adversely affected his health and damaged his family.  So I thought, "good on him".  And I mentally wished him he best.  And I in so doing I was duped.  Anybody who saw Urbie on the Spartan Stadium sideline Saturday now knows that the entire SI article about The New Urban Meyer, every word of it, was utter bullshit.  There he was, completely out-of-control, (making fucking Woody Hayes seem mellow for Christ's sake), going 20 yards out onto the field to argue a penalty and only by some miracle NOT being flagged for a fifteen-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.  I'll tell you what, I was sure he was going to assault himself a zebra right then and there.  Not that there is anything in particular wrong with that.  That's just how coaches, by and large, are.  Just don't go telling a national publication and by extension me, how you are a changed man, 'kay?  And now we learn that Meyer sent Michigan State an incomplete game film the week before the game, a tape edited so the Spartan coaching staff wouldn't be able to see the shifts and formation changes the Buckeyes were making prior to snapping the ball.  It wasn't a huge deal, it was just a crappy, unsportsmanlike, unprofessional bush league thing to do.  So, now we know the truth about Urban Meyer.  He's the same jagoff asshole he's always been.  So fuck him.

Pricks like Meyer NEVER change, unless they get tossed in the pokey or hit with a massive civil lawsuit that destroys their fucking career. Then they become GOPmartyrs.

You've prolly already seen this:

This:

"“I personally am very sad to see guys like Urban get out of coaching,” Paterno said. “We’re losing sight of it. If we’re not careful, we’re only in it for entertainment for television. You take those television cameras and they dominate some of these things. … Hopefully we don’t diminish something that’s truly a great experience for kids.”

is pretty amazing to read four or five years after it was uttered.

I always dislike coaches like Urban Meyer, Dennis Erickson, Joe Paterno, Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer and Lou Holtz (ever notice how you never see Holtz and George Will--another MLD*--at the same time?). They were never about sports, except as an avenue to personal wealth and ego gratification.

There have been a lot of rumors about Meyers' misconduct both vis-a-vis the NCAA and his personal life. It's only too bad that he DOESN'T have a weak heart.

Oh, before I forget, fuck Tim Tebow.
