I would guess he would have critical things to say about everyone. FOX, MSNBC, CNN, The Times, The Wash Post, The WS Journal, The NY Post you name it.

She scheduled a call with him for the next day so she could prepare, and then cancelled it. Seems like if a story is about to go out in 24 hours she would want to talk with the person she is writing about to at least warn them and cover her bases...but maybe not. I don't think anyone took her story seriously after this anyway.

I have been pointing out issues in the cities with crime. Most large city leaders are Blue. The Dallas mayor just flipped to Republican. https://www.wsj.com/articles/americas-cities-need-republicans-and-im-becoming-one-dallas-texas-mayor-965dbaa4?st=tg9afv4xo4ici96 "But I don’t believe I can stay on the sidelines any longer. I have always tried to be honest and say what I think is right for my city. The future of America’s great urban centers depends on the willingness of the nation’s mayors to champion law and order and practice fiscal conservatism. Our cities desperately need the genuine commitment to these principles (as opposed to the inconsistent, poll-driven commitment of many Democrats) that has long been a defining characteristic of the GOP. In other words, American cities need Republicans—and Republicans need American cities. When my political hero Theodore Roosevelt was born, only 20% of Americans lived in urban areas. By the time he was elected president, that share had doubled to 40%. Today, it stands at 80%. As America’s cities go, so goes America. Unfortunately, many of our cities are in disarray. Mayors and other local elected officials have failed to make public safety a priority or to exercise fiscal restraint. Most of these local leaders are proud Democrats who view cities as laboratories for liberalism rather than as havens for opportunity and free enterprise."

Wonder what he would think today?

Wow. Listen to the reporter squirm. A food reporter no less tried to get his advertisers to backout of a fund raising event. For those who don't know, Portnoy raised a lot of money for small pizza businesses during the pandemic.

Some comments on this game from mgo I thought were funny. https://mgoblog.com/content/opponent-watch-2023-week-3#read-more "Despite this column’s insistence last week that Matt Rhule didn’t have any other options, the Jeff Sims Voyage Of The Damned has been placed on hold for the moment, as he has been replaced by ⁠— and I say this with the appropriate level of respect ⁠— the most Nebraska-a$$ quarterback since Eric Crouch. Heinrich Haarberg is 6’5”, just-thicker-than-a-beanpole skinny, runs very fast in a straight line, and can generally throw a football accurately in a right direction. Most importantly, he had 45 pass attempts and carries combined, and he only turned the ball over once (and even that wasn’t really his fault; he got strip-sacked by a free rusher)." "Michigan should worry about: I… I think I like Nebraska’s front seven? They might be legitimately good? Nebraska has 14 sacks on the season, and even excluding sacks they’re only allowing 3.7 yards per carry on the ground. Their fronts are tricky, their pressures are creative, and they have a 330 pound defensive tackle wearing #0. What’s not to like?" "When they play Michigan: Turner Corcoran might be the worst pass blocker starting for any Power 5 team. If Nebraska gets into passing downs, Corcoran versus Derrick Moore might get someone killed."

Michigan has been practicing these first 3 games. All of the 1st string DBs and safeties have been working through injuries. They rotate so many in the front 7, that 3rd string is playing in the 4th quarter. Running backs are getting limited reps to try and keep them healthy. They are trying to find the second string QB too. That said, their offensive line has been underwhelming with run blocking as have the receivers. The defense has been stellar so far but probably hasn't had to break a sweat yet.

It's good to hear people are coming to their senses. https://news.gallup.com/poll/507023/say-birth-gender-dictate-sports-participation.aspx

I covered my tracks.

Do Sunglasses carry the same weight as cheeseburgers? Where is the NCAA on impermissible gifts from a coach? https://bleacherreport.com/videos/462385-deion-gifts-players-glasses

I have text messages on my phone from over a year ago. So yeah the content is there unless he deletes them. Didn't OSU scrub Urbs phone for his Zach Smith??? scandal? Or whoever the guy was that beat up his wife. Maybe deleting texts is policy now.

No, but it depends on what they say. Maybe it was..."leave me alone you creep."

I do not know that it helps Tuck, but he will certainly try and get as much of that $95M as he can and try and salvage a reputation. If he can prove 20 plus phone calls over a long period of time it might help, but unless he recorded those conversations or has text messages and pictures from her that back his story, he will be out of luck.

Sounds like Brenda did not want this public, but someone (looking at you MSU) leaked it.

I think Mel is making 9.5M per year for 10 years. I wrote that poorly. He's not making that anymore though. Also, He cannot recruit. He struck gold in the portal his first year with Kenneth Walker and lost his prized QB and receiver to other schools this year. They are both doing great. Tuck was about to drive MSU into the ground.

How could someone be that stupid. I heard this morning that there were over 20 calls between the two of them. Not sure if that’s true. Maybe he worked his way up to jerking off over the phone.

Mel Tucker is available for 9.5M over 10 years. You will need to install Bark on his phone however.

Mel is standing his ground and accusing MSU of a set up. I think he is right that this isn't title IX. So why did MSU investigate a phone call between two adults? This could get interesting. I still think he is a tool though. "I can only conclude that there is an ulterior motive designed to terminate my contract based on some other factor such as a desire to avoid any Nasser taint, or my race or gender," Tucker wrote. https://www.si.com/college/michiganstate/football/mel-tucker-lawyer-releases-statement-calls-allegations-of-sexual-harassment-completely-false-msu-091123

I think NU had what...8 sacks? Put Ms front 7 up there and they get 12. CU won't survive. If NUs offense was serviceable they would have won that game. I have no idea if any team in the PAC2 including USC has a defense...Utah maybe... but if they do CU won't survive.

I learned that CO is overhyped, and will get thrashed again with a good defense. I learned I feel bad for NUs defense when Sims keeps putting them back on the field. The offense can only ask to be bailed out so many times before the D says screw it.

Oops. This is funny though. Love that movie.

I was hoping Tuck would be a lifelong coach, just so MSU fans would be miserable.

The quiet part out loud. Patrick Brown admitting he left things like better forest management out to get published. https://www.thefp.com/p/i-overhyped-climate-change-to-get-published

Mel Tucker is a Tool and MSU will be able get out of that contract. I was hoping they were stuck with him for 10 years.

Seriously? I think you give him too much credit. Not QAnon?
