Is it related to his trip to Saudi Arabia to beg for money?

No, basically that he is guilty of some pretty egregious resume padding.

No, basically that he is guilty of some pretty egregious resume padding.

Torre called him Dwight Schrute.

Craig Walsh--Bill's son--really laid into him. Lombardi claims that he was the one who "found" Charles Haley, and that he was the one who came up with the concept of trading high round picks for multiple lower round picks and letting his "genius" scouting skills find the hidden gems.

In Oakland, Lombardi wanted Bobby Petrino to become the new head coach, but Al Davis hired Art Shell. Lombardi then spent the year undermining and backstabbing Shell.

There was an inflammatory accusation about tampering that I had never heard before. Lombardi traded Randy Moss to NE for a pitiful 4th round draft pick. Al Davis claimed that Lombardi told him that Moss couldn't run anymore and that they should take what they could get for him. Davis claimed that Lombardi told Belichick quite the opposite and that he should jump at the chance to get Moss.

Lombardi strongly denies that accusation.

Belichick fired Lombardi in 2016 and he has been unable to find a job anywhere in the league since that time. Torre called him "unemployable."

Are you channeling James Joyce again?

Joyce. This is. No, that's not channeling James

Good summary. Re the bolded, apparently just about every other notable Patriots coach demanded Lombardi's firing.

Lombardi was fired before the 16-17 season started and so wasn't employed by the team at all during that year. After they won a super bowl, Belichick bought him a cheap version of the SB ring. Lombardi now cites the fact that he was "part" of that super bowl team in all his marketing materials.

Jordon Hudson blamed as Bill Belichick confronts UNC scandal

Bill Belichick's UNC tenure took another difficult turn this week, with the legendary coach forced to address his team's troubling off-field behavior.

Belichick's UNC tenure took another difficult turn this week, with the legendary coach forced to address his team's troubling off-field behavior.

A bombshell report from the Raleigh news publication WRAL revealed around a fifth of UNC's 101-player roster had cited for speeding or reckless driving, with the publication adding that a large number of athletes at fault were ones Belichick recruited.

Speaking Wednesday, the 73-year-old Belichick insisted he had addressed the issue with his players and underlined his belief in the importance of player conduct away from the game.

But some UNC fans felt that while Belichick is being pictured with his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson at cheerleading events, looking deeply unhappy at having to be there, his words would only have counted for so much.

'No culture or controls over there,' one fan wrote about the UNC team's conduct. 'He’s (Belichick) too busy watching Jordan's dance competition.'

Another fan wrote: 'Lack of institutional control! I wonder if there is a clause in Billy’s UNC contract that nullifies and voids the buyout for these types of infractions.'

This is a cautionary tale as old as time.

It takes time, hard work and care to build a successful reputation in life. Those reputations can come apart almost overnight. We're watching this in real time and it's just bizarre.

If you polled 101 random male college kids, I wonder what the percentage would be of those that were cited for speeding. "A bombshell report"

A backpacker is traveling through Ireland when it starts to rain. He decides to wait out the storm in a nearby pub. The only other person at the bar is an older man staring at his drink. After a few moments of silence the man turns to the backpacker and says in a thick Irish accent:

"You see this bar? I built this bar with my own bare hands. I cut down every tree and made the lumber myself. I toiled away through the wind and cold, but do they call me McGreggor the bar builder? No."

He continued "Do you see that stone wall out there? I built that wall with my own bare hands. I found every stone and placed them just right through the rain and the mud, but do they call me McGreggor the wall builder? No."

"Do ya see that pier out there on the lake? I built that pier with my own bare hands, driving each piling deep into ground so that it would last a lifetime. Do they call me McGreggor the pier builder? No."

"But ya **** one goat.."

Did he do the goat on the village green? How do the locals know?

This seems like it deserves its own topic. Perhaps a pole.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

He blows goats. I have proof.
