See For Yourself The Lies ESPN So Blatantly Tells

ESPN is handling the Mike Leach story in the most one sided partisan manner I have seen in a long time. It is worse than the media's love affair with Barak Obama during the past election cycle in that ESPN continues to simply outright lie in the face of pure fact.

Calling the visitors media room, the same room that routinly hold over 100 reporters, visiting coaches and players and all the camera crews and so forth \"an electrical closet\" is nothing short of calling a 5000 square foot funeral home a coffin.

They have the actual video in hand of the room, but have never played it. Instead, they show only Adam James cell phone video of a dark and scary looking room.

Why was it dark? because Adam refused to work out with the team in exercises his doctor had released him to do and said the sun was hurting his eyes and that was why he showed up to practice to practice unready to practice and with sunglasses on.

So to accomodate a whining, spoiled kid, they sent him, with three trainers watching him, just in case he was suffering from any concussion effects, to this media room where the lights were dimmed to ease his so called headache from the lights.

I have said the same thing but most people just ignore it and talk about how awful a person mike leach is, when in reality I would love to have him be OC.

Outside of this one instance, which has really weird circumstances around it(including a known past college cheater) there is nothing to say hes not a great guy. In fact his former players and coaches talk about what a great guy he is, even the current trainers and team doctors came out to say that james' story is BS.

Adam James is the biggest baby I can think of in recent memory. Until ESPN dumps James I no longer watch the channel or view the web site. I have written them to say as much. I do not care if coach lokced the kid in a closet with Al Franken and Anne Coulter arguing. That did not hurt his fragile little body.

That being said the medias loves affair with Obama was because he sells ad time. If I had a media outlet I too would pimp that story for all it was worth. It makes good business sense.

Lies lies lies...except for the TTU trainer who just released a signed affidavit saying that Mike Leach ordered him to \"lock Adam James in a room with no windows or lights\" that was \"the size of a one-car garage.\" So...yeah. All except for that, you're right. Mike Leach is a saint and I'd love for him to replace Mike Bobo. Because that's who we need representing our school. If only Mark Richt had locked DeCory Bryant in a windowless room after the UAB game in 2003, or Mikey Henderson after the 2008 Sugar Bowl, both of them would be stronger and more well-rounded men today.

Folks, stop defending Mike Leach. He's scum. He was scum before he did this and now he's abusive scum. He can go to hell.

Look, I for one think that Leach on the field is an offensive genius...but I would not want him at UGA. With that said, I certainly don't take a guys word, signed or not, who has changed his story to please the ear listening. The affidavit is meaningless when the pressure behind it is stiff enough. Do any of you really believe that this James kid was locked in a closet and could not get out? Why in the world would he obey such a request when he has a track record of doing whatever the hell he wants? What was holding him in this closet? I think this whole story is a bunch of BS and that the James boys are a couple of spoiled bratts.

And just for the record Leach is definitely a weird duck and I am no fan of his.
