Ooh a new episode on bowl season! How exciting!

*Guest immediately calls young people lazy and unmotivated. Criticizes athlete's for protecting their bodies and future from an exhibition game*

Yeah, maybe I'll pass on this one.

Sorry if it's not for you. All I will add: We didn't let that go unchallenged, and I hope the interview is a window into how someone with power in the sport approaches their work.

I agree, he lost me pretty quick. I did finish the episode since it was short but тАЬhead of bowl games likes bowl gamesтАЭ pretty much sums it up.

My favorite part was he said the fiesta was his favorite bowl game to work with. IтАЩd like to see this guy read death to the BCS

I chuckled when he mentioned Notre Dame and the Fiesta Bowl, meaning he was likely an instrument of screwing Virginia Tech out of the Fiesta in favor of the overmatched Irish who got set of fire by Oregon State if memory serves, leaving Michael Vick to play his last game against Clemson in the Gator. Not that I have a grudge about any of that specifically.

He is also speaking for what signs his checks. Hard to criticize that. Look at Bill Hancock. He was head of the BCS so he spoke against playoff, the heтАЩs hired for the CFP and loves a playoff.
