Street Novelist Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Desmond Howard is a moron and a showboater. If he would have ever slapped Bo Schembechler, Bo would have knocked the sh#t outta his scrawny ass. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Yeah right, guy's all talk. I don't listen to much he has to say, he's a moron anyways. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 What crap. How many hundreds of players take tongue-lashings this bad or worse every day in all levels of college football (not to mention high school)? Maybe Desmond never got one because he was the all-star who they couldn't afford to make mad. And yes, I realize there's a difference between practice and "on national television" but Bo was heated at the moment and not thinking about cameras on him. Bo has yelled at players (mostly for stupid penalties) before, but nothing to this degree, so you have to think TM did something to provoke it. Yeah, ultimately Bo went overboard but in the end, nobody was hurt and TM has the ego to handle the blow. Quote Link to comment
clone Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 howard wasn't going to slap shembeckler and never said or inferred any such thing. at least desmond howard isn't an internet tough guy. howard said what he said, PUBLICLY, ON TV, KNOWING Bo would hear it. seems fairly gutsy to me. howard isn't hiding behind a keyboard. If bo doesn't like what howard says, he knows where to find him. Quote Link to comment
Sparker Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 He said he would only let someone yell at him like that if he had respect for them. If some nobody came up and tore into him like that, he would smack them. Quote Link to comment
GMoose Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 On College Football Live, Desmond Howard says if Bo Palini would have talked to him the way he did to Taylor Martinez he would have “slapped the taste out of his mouth”. Yeah, right. He said if he were a parent and Bo talked his child like that he would have smacked the taste out of his mouth. Slightly different context. Quote Link to comment
zero_blitz Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I loved this comment by Desmond. As a man you have to respect his opinion, he didn't dodge the question, he gave his honest opinion on the situation. I have to give it to Taylor too for handling it so well. I know many a player who as soon as that index finger hit their chest would have quickly corrected Pelini. I'm all for coaching guys hard, but you have to be an idiot not to see he clearly crossed the line... Quote Link to comment
maskershake Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I like how these guys get to comment on this but they really have no idea of what happened to cause Bo to get after Taylor. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Yeah, get the quote right. Also, lets face it, Howard played in the NFL, I am sure he can handle himself pretty well. This is the lamest thread ever. Quote Link to comment
clone Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 hear it yourself. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5838941 about the 3:20 mark. he said anybody BUT shembeckler would have got the back of his hand... and went on even further after that. Quote Link to comment

I'm all for coaching guys hard, but you have to be an idiot not to see he clearly crossed the line... See, I don't really care what Desmond says, but why would you credit him for saying this? He didn't dodge the question? What possible reason would there be for dodging a question that's asking you about somebody else's actions/integrity? Desmond Howard has no idea what Bo was yelling at Martinez about. The only respectable thing to do by Howard is to say, "I wasn't there, I don't know what the circumstances were, so I'm not going to comment." All Howard did with this comment was throw out some bullcrap that he and ESPN thought would make some noise, so they can make more money. Stop treating these guys like they have valuable opinions. They don't. They're just on television. 2 Quote Link to comment

And if you think yelling at a player is crossing the line, you either haven't played much football or you've been on some pretty weak teams. I'll agree that Bo should have handled this better, but the only thing he should have done differently is do it behind closed doors. He was out of control and he has to work on that. But yelling at Martinez is the least of Bo's worries right now. Quote Link to comment
