In the world of press conferences and interviews, there are few people who actually very carefully measure their words so that they are sending the correct message out to interested parties. Traditionally, the White House Press Secretary is such a person. You might say the chairman of the Fed is such a person as well. Charlie Weis, head football coach of the University of Notre Dame is not such a person, and, as such, really couldn’t care less what you think of his words. He’s notoriously honest, but that doesn’t mean he’s, even for a moment, considering what he said 3 days ago versus what he’s saying today or tomorrow.
With that said, if you find yourself reading any of these quotes…
“That has been part of the problem this year — I try to be so creative, you don’t get good at anything,” Weis said. “Before I worry about creativity, we have to get good at something.”
“So today was the first day of the entire year that every play was ‘take ’em to the ground.’ This lets the lines on both sides work on some kind of mentality, and focus on run and pass blocking, and tackling.”
“There’s a whole bunch of problems that are all involved right there. I think we’re going to be judged from where it goes from here. And let’s face it, it doesn’t get much lower than where you are right now.”
…or anything similar, and you’re trying to delineate anything beyond exactly what he said and meant at the moment that he said it,…
…or you’re name is Michael Rosenberg and you look like this…
An excellent example of a man who would have gained a lot if someone had just punched him in the face early in life.
…or you’re name is Brian Cook and you write MGoBlog…
Please remember, in the future, not to stand in the non-idiot line at all government offices, post offices, fast-food restaurants, and amusement parks. And if you could go ahead and let Darwinism just take hold, we’d all appreciate that too.
Thank you,
Management

Hmmm … make fun of a sportswriter because he looks like a geek? Gosh, that’s as funny as all those fat jokes about Charlie.
As for the criticism of Charlie and the football program, the only way to stop it is to win. Win big. Then you can be seen as arrogant, or humble, or brilliant or whatever, it ain’t going to bother you.
Uh, rays15, we’re a blog. Of course we’re going to make fun of people.
I hope you don’t go surfing blogs looking for moral high-ground.
Further, we didn’t include his photo to say, “haha! He’s geeky looking!” I’m a geek. We include his photo so we can be very clear about which Michael Rosenberg we speak.  We don’t want to just go about insulting every Michael Rosenberg ambiguously.
And I stand by my statement that this particular Michael Rosenberg would have gained a lot of character if someone had just punched him in the face when he was young.
Anybody that can write a hack job of a piece like that and use Notre Dame to up their hit rate/ad sales can be attacked. He’s using ND, we use him back. I’m pretty sure he’s okay with it, considering otherwise he’d be completely anonymous in the world of journalism. I mean, read his drivel. It’s horrid. As is your face.
Uh, domer.mq, no I’m not looking for moral high ground. Just intelligent commentary. If I see a comment about Charlie eating cheeseburgers, I pretty much figure the quality of discussion isn’t going to be too high. Same with comments on a writer’s looks. If you have something intelligent to say to refute someone, then say it. If you don’t, then what the heck, make fun of their looks to your little heart’s content.
ray15, I wouldn’t go looking for a lot of intelligent commentary around here. That sort of thing takes time and craftsmanship. I don’t have that. I just have a domain name.
And you have terrible reading comprehension. I already pointed out that I wasn’t picking on his looks. I was just clarifying the subject. I wanted to make it clear that the Michael Rosenberg portrayed in that picture is the one that should avoid the non-idiot line.
If you’re not going to, I will. Rosenberg looks like Peter Scolari, the drag queen from Bosom Buddies.
rays15, now if you can’t see how Bad Kermit’s comment is intelligent, insightful, and down-right funny, then you may want to consider that our tastes diverge from your own in very real and profound ways.
Tell me I’m wrong. And that Rosenberg wouldn’t look good in a dress.
domer;I see biscuit got off light yesterday with his talk of treason.You are a hard man.
rays15 — have a sense of humor. i’m an old guy in news biz and i’m sure rosie can take a joke.
Bad Kermit — funny stuff right there with bosom buddies
anyway, with as tough as this season is going to be, and next isn’t going to be a lot better, i’m looking for some laughs on these Irish blogs. Loyal Sons and Kelly Green are good because they don’t take themselves so seriously. Keep up the good work.
