RIP Bill McCartney

His white daughter forked a non-white and got pregnant.

Wasn't it more than once?

Don't know of any but Saint Sal's spawn.

Had no idea Grantland's stuff was still up. And the headline seems to track with the current state of affairs (and a recent post I saw here).

One thing I respect about ESPN is they've kept Grantland's archive active.

By "recent post" I meant one started upthread a little over 5 hours ago.

Goddam, I was right. Why am I remembering such an obscure bullshirt detail?

Between Dobson, Basic Life Principles and Promise Keepers, my dad has spent a lot of the last 15 years apologizing for how our household operated in the late 1990s being a church family. Absolutely horrid attitudes indoctrinated into an army of men that has metastasized into the militant evangelical movement.

But now he points at another old coach on his screen, a snowy-haired wizard named Bill Snyder, who happens to be virtually the same age

The best to seem forever young is to retire young.

I respect that too, as someone who worked at a place where all my old stories were nuked into the sun when some young whippersnapper decided to redesign the website. At least I'm not still pissed off about it 10 years later.

What was the turning point? Good on him for apologizing.

Twice ... both Colorado players, if I'm not mistaken.

Sorry but McCartney was a raging hypocrite. Don't preach moral, Christian living to thousands of others when your daughter got knocked up twice and you admitted to marital infidelity. Get your own house in order first.
