    Megan on whether Fleck will be here in 5 years

    My wife says I say that all the time. For decades I have had no respect for sport journalist as experts on sports. I go back into the 1950's and don't recall anyone at that time interviewing a reporter as an expert on anything other than on the business of reporting. Now, every single day on...

    Megan on whether Fleck will be here in 5 years

    Fine, don't quote as any sort of expert on either topic above. She is just a reporter.

    Megan on whether Fleck will be here in 5 years

    Must they? Or is it that the young ones are just cheap? I have said it now several times. I much prefer people who actually know what they are writing about. I hate to see young reporters thought of as any sort of experts about anything they know little to very little about.

    Megan on whether Fleck will be here in 5 years

    So, what makes her an expert on football? Or Fleck? Or is it just that she is a female and therefore must be accepted as an expert no matter what she does or does not do? I would, and did, say exactly the same thing about hundreds of males in the news business who have no claim to any...

    Megan on whether Fleck will be here in 5 years

    I read her two posted remarks today and both said nothing other than the truth that she knew nothing about that subject. Fair enough on her part. Perhaps the comments saying nothing should not have been posted at all. But I saw no expertise or knowledge of the subjects in either posting. So...

    Megan on whether Fleck will be here in 5 years

    Yes, but Daniel knows football or have you failed to notice that? Most modern reporters are nowhere near experts at anything they write about. They just report the news as they told. I much prefer those who have a real subject degree and or real world experiance.

    If you want to be relevant why don't you post something that conveys a thought?

    Megan on whether Fleck will be here in 5 years

    No, I just don't like the modern trend of interviewing non expert reporters about things they know next to nothing about by other reporters trying to fill their copy quota for the day. The media today does that all the time. "Bill, age 26, has a journalism degree from Hill City University and...

    Megan on whether Fleck will be here in 5 years

    Why is it sexist to state the obvious about a young journalist? This one, that one, almost all of them. Compare any to someone like Daniel House and what do you see? One knows and can explain, one neither knows nor can offer any insight at all. If Bleed interviews one we get something...

    Megan on whether Fleck will be here in 5 years

    I don't care at all that she is female. I found both her answers above to be totally vanilla without any insight whatsoever. Pure yawn. Why bother?

    Megan on whether Fleck will be here in 5 years

    Give me a person who actually understands the game of football, like our own Dan House. But more than that, this is a thing about reporters interviewing reporters as experts on what they are reporting on. Almost never happened when I was young and now it is being done all the time.

    Megan on whether Fleck will be here in 5 years

    What is there about Megan that makes her an authority on football, Coach Fleck or, indeed, anything? Isn't she just a young woman working as a sport reporter? Does she live at the Fleck home? Have extensive experience at sport reporting? Has dated a football player once, twice? Seen 28...

    What is your, "I remember exactly where I was" Gopher Football Moment?

    Gophers beating Ohio State at the Shoe in Columbus when Maso was the coach. I believe we have done that only twice in all of Gopher history.

    All Things P.J. Fleck Rumor Mill Thread - Listed as Candidate for Other Jobs

    I would add an ego thing as well. If he builds an elite program here it will be all, all on him. He will have done it, not "it was handed to him when he got the job here".

    All Things P.J. Fleck Rumor Mill Thread - Listed as Candidate for Other Jobs

    I think keeping Coyle is a big part of that package that he likes here. He has said as much. I agree with what you are saying about not worrying but I would worry a bit if Coyle took a job elsewhere.

    Chip: When the games come back, will you be there?

    You have your examples in a knot. One moment you are all "Deutschland right or wrong, my Deutschland", singing the praise of Germans happily moving in lock steps. The next minute your all worried about "Dear Leader".

    Chip: When the games come back, will you be there?

    It is called Trump Derangement Syndrome for a darn good reason, its a derangement. So don't count on a big positive response to your reasonable request (get it, reasonable).

    End of Division I Sports as We Know It

    Your first sentence is very strange. Regarding the rest, it is very important that people under 60 stay the hell away from those over 60, especially those with pre existing conditions. But what does that have to do with people under 60 returning to work? Close to nothing.

    If so, why did they not die on the aircraft carrier DeGaul with no social distancing and 687 medically confirmed cases? No deaths. That is a complete sample in a very controlled setting. No estimates involved at all. No BS, PC, TDS factors involved. Just large numbers of younger people not...
