So I'm reading the St. Pete Times at lunch today and lo and behold one of the local writers is referencing the show on ESPN "Outside the Lines". I didn't see the show so I'm going on what the article states.
Apparently, there was a Big Ten Official, Jim Filson who had been refereeing for a number of years. He has been officiating for twelve years. Apparently, five years ago he lost one of his eyes after a fall in the off-season. He made a call in a game that was wrong, and actually got overturned with replay, like DOZENS of calls every game, right? Well, there were several phone conversations behind the scenes that ultimately cost Filson his job. And do you want to guess who was the one doing all the talking??? Yep, none other than Lloyd "Whiner" Carr. This after Filson consistently graded well in evaluations.
Now, if this isn't bad enough, ESPN decides to do this news story. Everyone involved agrees to speak to the subject except one person. Want to venture a guess as to who THAT would be? Yep again. That "class act" (Warren1st's words, not mine). What a low-life, yellow, coward son of a bitch. This guy shouldn't be allowed to coach high school again. And as a severance package, he should be required to go to Filson's house and meet him like a man, instead of hiding behind the damn telephone.
Well, Warren1st, Keno, Hartville "the Amish" Tiger and the rest of you Michigan lovers. PLEASE let me hear your justification for this one. It should be a real doozy. What a classless piece of trash.
