Did y'all catch Squirmin Herman's spot on ESPN about Shady?

[Mr. Flopnuts]

He straight up went the **** off! I don't know if this happened this morning, or a couple of days ago but he lost his ****ing shit over it! It was great. I'll try and track down something I can embed into this post. For those who saw it, did you laugh, or were you almost embarrassed for the guy?

Careful, given the FO guys who got credit for the good players drafted under Herm's tenure are running the show in Cleveland..

Herm didn't run the franchise into the ground. It's hilarious that people actually think that.

Sorry bud. I was going to get the video and get it posted, and got sidetracked. Thanks to Gonzo for making it easy for me. OP updated now.

Loser coach. Would have been perfect as a loser college coach where he could treat players like kids and do his rah rah coachspeak

I can never tell if Herm is serious. It just seems to me he gets on a rant and it just snowball. I don't even think he knows whats going to come out. Its like a rapper Herm was Rappin.

[wazu]

What an ass.

[Iconic]

You know there's actually a lot of wisdom in what Herm said. 3:40 onward is nice. Basically find a bigger purpose than just yourself.

[TribalElder]

Holy shit herm went crackhead on them

[Rain Man]

Wow. Herm took a stand. And get out of his yard.

[Indian Chief]

Passionate, yes, but hardly crazy. I like it.

The coverage of the NFL is like reality TV. From its broadcast, to storylines on ESPN And NFLN etc. add in social media, and it's one reason why the NFL is on its way to becoming a shit product. I think it's there already.

The national games, especially SNF blows ass IMO. (Off topic but I had to get that off my chest lol)

I would have used a Kim Kardashian (sp?) analogy and how the media focuses on the lowest common denominator. He had a point just very poorly executed delivery.

And screw Herm. He's a dumbass that dragged an entire team down to his level of stupidity.

College football is hands down a much better product from Week 1 to the Playoff championship.

NFL Football only matches that good level from the divisional playoff rounds on.. and even then..

According to Jeff Lane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Chip Kelly called LeSean McCoy and McCoy hung up on him. Chip Kelly denies calling McCoy:



Philly Inquirer - According to sources, Chip Kelly tried to call McCoy this week, but once he identified himself, McCoy hung up

McCoy initially didn't want to go to the Bills. He found out about the trade from his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, by phone. McCoy was training in Miami at the time and after breaking down in tears, he resumed running a series of sprints, each one faster than the next.

Kelly lamented how the news of the trade was relayed to McCoy. An ESPN reporter broke the story before Kelly had an opportunity to tell the running back himself. Kelly eventually tried to reach McCoy, but the calls were never answered.

He tried again on Tuesday, according to sources with knowledge of the call. McCoy didn't recognize the number and answered. When Kelly identified himself, McCoy hung up. On Wednesday, McCoy said he stood by offseason comments he made about Kelly's not respecting stars and getting rid of all the "good black players."

"I know he was pissed, and he should be pissed, rightly so," Kelly said.
McCoy was also upset that it took so long for Lurie to call after the trade. Even before the 2014 season, when asked about his chances of suffering the same fate as DeSean Jackson, McCoy had referred to his close relationship with Lurie.

McCoy has said he loved being an Eagle. He grew up in Harrisburg. He was drafted and developed by the team. He became the franchise's all-time leader in rushing yards. He was the alpha dog of the locker room.
"A lot of my good friends are still on that team," McCoy said.

PFT: Chip Kelly denies calling LeSean McCoy

After Sunday’s win over the Bills, Kelly denied that it happened. He didn’t deny the report within the context of a question about that specific topic; instead, he was asked whether the various questions about issues unrelated to the playing of the game created a distraction.

“[A] lot of it to me is tabloid journalism that they just tried to stir things up but it didn’t affect us,” Kelly said. “I mean, we were playing the Buffalo Bills and a really well coached team by Rex Ryan that has a lot of really good players. But when people want to make up false stories about me calling someone during the week and them hanging up on me, I just think people are trying to get Twitter hits and things like that and make themselves significant when stuff doesn’t happen.”
