Sounds like the guy from KY that I despise.
Retaliate, I say...
Gotta be John Calipari
I wish they'd have let John Chaney kick his ass in that press conference when he was at UMASS and Chaney was at Temple!! Remember that??
sdandrea1 I am not an advocate of purposely going after a player with intent of injury. That's just bad sportsmanship.
What if that's the only way to do the job right to stop the advancing ?
Going after an advanced football player half heartily will not ensure to get the job done.
If you watch the replay on that incident, with the speed they're going at each other there is very little room for mercy and very little time to take another option if there is one.
Wilson got waxed pretty good several times , do we throw the other player out of the game or wish them break their knees ? Com'on.

Other than Sherman, who did I call a name? LOL... You crack me up! Now if you want me to call you a name so you can feel better - just ask. I doubt that I will, but it's always worth a shot to ask. LOL
Hey, bro - relax. We're just talking shit here. I don't like Sherman, I think he's a dirty player and no - I wouldn't lose sleep if he lost his kneecaps.
People are obviously entitled to disagree... but I think Sherman is the classic example WHY the NFL has a concussion protocol, and he not only doesn't have a problem with that - he wears it like a badge of honor.
He seeks out those season-ending hits, the targeting, the sensationalism. That's who Richard Sherman is. And the more I see of him - the more I wish someone would ring his fucking bell and send him to nighty night.
He coaches my team and I can't wait until he's outta there.
We had a shot at Billy Donovan, Donovan would've taken the job. He would've been a great fit at UK and would've run the program the right way.
One-and-done isn't just mutually exclusive to Calipari and UK, but he basically perfected the concept. And Division 1 college hoops hasn't benefitted from it whatsoever.
But that's another story....
There is no tournament like March Madness. It is, by far, the best tournament of the year in any sport.
The excitement and drama just continues to deliver year after year after year.

PA-PLAYA agree, 1 and done is all over, even at respected places like Duke, who I hate with a passion, but KY is the worst offender, but they just keep coming. There is a place for developing talent over 4 years, Wisconsin has been doing it and been stellar in the dance the last 3 years, with no MacD all americans.....nothing pleased me more when they bounced KY from the tournament 2 yrs ago. Still a lot of good teams that can make a run.....that is the great thing about March madness,,,,there will always be guys like Calipari, but way more like Bo Ryan and Greg Gard, etc. doing it right.
You know what I miss? I miss the rivalries. I miss the days when Jerry Stackhouse (UNC) had a 3-time-per-year run-in with Grant Hill (Duke) for at least 3 seasons. With one-and-done, there are no rivalries anymore. I like my Cats, but I'm a college basketball fan. I respect the history and the rivalries. These days - there are no rivalries. The Indiana vs Kentucky game used to be a HUGE deal. Not any longer. The Louisville vs Kentucky game used to be a HUGE deal, but not any longer.
One-and-done has diluted college basketball to the point where there's very little history anymore. It's still exciting as hell for March Madness, don't get me wrong, but you definitely don't get the interesting storylines of two players who've gone at it head-to-head as rivals for 3-4 years. I miss that about college basketball. Those rivalries, those players who saw each other 3x per season for 3 or 4 seasons. You knew it was gonna be something special their last couple years of college.
As Archie Bunker sang, Those Were the Days....
PA-PLAYA very good point, the long standing rivalries have suffered....those household names no longer stick around....it goes from the greatest tourney on the planet to who's going pro....can't blame the kids for going for the money, but it didn't happen at the rate it did years ago, Stackhouse and hill would not have given much serious consideration to go pro, as they wouldn't have played or they would have been left in the dust as 19 and 20 yr olds....nba brand has suffered in a big way too, almost unwatchable IMO.
