    Thanks. Just saw the first part on ESPN2. That was an unmitigated smackdown!

    Has Todd Graham called Arkansas his "dream job" yet?

    Hope Jessica remembered to declare that $20,000 on her income taxes.

    No problem TV. I enjoy your prognostications.

    And, I didn't have the balls to propose a self imposed ban for the loser. Besides, I would have missed your posts if you had lost.

    It is pretty funny that they "tried" to keep him. Was it for show? Did they give him terms they knew he wouldn't/couldn't accept.

    It's pretty much what the Yankees did to Torre.

    Is there time for Jeff Long to get in the presidential race?

    You know there's an IRS agent in Little Rock thinking, "maybe I should pull her return..."

    So this means Petrino can still have sex with Jessica, right?

    Kudos to Jeff Long. The coach is never bigger than the institution, no matter how many ADs fail to realize that.

    Didn't watch the press conference, but could she have been blackmailing him? Gets a $20K payment and he gets her a cush job in the athletic department.

    I'd love it, LOVE it if Petrino was the victim in all of this, and he still got the boot because he's an idiot who couldn't keep it zipped up.

    I have a felling there will be a few more gems to come out in this story.

    Ok, so Petrino is a stupid moron and has been for a while now.

    But he didn't deserve to get fired over a stupid motorcycle wreck or whomever happened to be riding with him at the time. This ain't Jim Tressel or Jerry Sandusky (not claiming that Sandusky is guilty of anything.... time will tell that).

    ALL the other shit, though? He more than earned that firing.
