SB Champion Coach Jim Harbaugh reacts to Manti Te'o's 40 yard dash at the NFL combine

SB Champion Coach Jim Harbaugh reacts to Manti Te’o’s 40 yard dash at the NFL combine. Same reaction most football fans had to Te’o in the BCS chamionship game.

Te’o insists he’s faster than a 4.8 forty yard dash. He may really believed it just like he believed in a girlfriend he never saw. In reality, he probably is pretty slow in top speed, but as the combine showed he has pretty good explosion and agility making him an average to below average NFL athlete. But after watching him disappear against Alabama (aka a bunch of pro-bound players) and then come into the combine slower than expected: We don’t believe you. You need more people.

How to destroy an NBA team in one season

Video

Many of my fellow 76ers fans wanted to send Igoudala because they don’t value defense, rebounds and a high shot percentage from a guy who doesn’t light up the scoreboard. We amnestied Elton Brand, traded Andre Igoudala and a young big player in Vucevic for a flyer on Andrew Bynum (aka 2013-2014 season cap room).

Not many of those send Iggy fans have much to say about it this season. This team was no champion last year, but they were fun to watch. This year’s team is no champion and they are not fun to watch. At all.

Charles Pierce: “Simply put, the job creators are now not creating jobs.”

Quote

Charles Pierce for Esquire: Simply put, the job creators are now not creating jobs. They have no intention of creating jobs now or in the future. They don’t have to create jobs and there’s nobody out there to make them do it. They simply will reduce the number of jobs they have now and grind the remaining employees, most of whom have no recourse any more, either to the government or to organized labor. The job creators thereupon will get rich not creating jobs, and they will continue to get rich not creating jobs, because creating jobs costs them money. Any politician who says anything else is lying to you..

Remember when: “OMG Obama is to the right of Laura Bush!”

Standard

RRemember when: “OMG Obama is to the right of Laura Bush!”
Yea. well…it’s who actually pushes for and implements the changes that are liberal not who talks about it being awesome when it doesn’t matter. Dick Cheney and Laura Bush never did a damn for marriage equality while they were in Washington and the same goes for a bunch of other Republicans who make moderately liberal sounding noises sometimes and yet did nothing moderately liberal when they held power.

Zucker’s CNN: Soledad O’Brien out, Erin Burnett in. Wall to Wall “poop cruise” coverage

Video

As journalists like Soledad O’Brien are replaced by anonymous source parroters like Erin Burnett, CNN will become even less useful but find ratings hits around stories you could care less about like sh*t ships. It’s good to remember that Jeff Zucker was good at promoting exactly that type of news programming. He was the guy who turned around the Today Show in the early 90’s. It’s a conscious management decision to go with Zucker as the head of a worldwide news organization, and what they are conscious of is ratings. See the difference between O’Brien and Burnett below.

Soledad O’Brien asks Ron Johnson about why his reaction to Secretary of state Clinton’s testimony was that she used emotion to evade testimony:

Erin Burnett Sen Ron Johnson if Secretary Clinton’s emotion during Senate testimony around Benghazi was “real”:

Burnett then asks Sen. Johnson if he’s stunned because Libyan suspect has gone free after Benghazi, well because they couldn’t prove involvement:
